About the Hotel
Immerse yourself in lush tropical beauty, surrounded by 40 acres of vibrant landscape high above Costa Rica's Central Valley, and soak in the sunny skies of Xandari Resort & Spa. Just outside of San Jose, this amazing resort - with approximately three miles of scenic trails, a river and waterfalls - will show you the true wonder of Central America. Stunning guest villas offer flowing architecture that winds through the gardens and creates a modern-meets-tropical design that is at once elegantly stunning and gracefully tranquil. Bright and open rooms are spacious and breezy, with gleaming tiled floors, pure white walls, and vivid colorful accents - all tied in to the rich wood décor and furniture. Brilliant natural light streams in through large sliding glass doors, while the views from private garden terraces will truly take your breath away.

Terrible stay! Sad after many years of enjoying Xandari!
We have been staying at Xandari for over 20 years, as it has been where we started and finished every visit to Costa Rica. This year will be the last! After traveling for a full day, we expected to be able to sleep before starting our vacation. We were put in a room next to loud, barking dogs. The management wasn't happy that we asked to be moved to a quieter room, but they eventually put us in a less expensive room than the one we had paid for. We were traveling with our adult children, and had introduced them to Xandari years ago. They booked a room before flying back to the US, and were put in a room next to the obnoxious, barking dogs. They didn't sleep at all, as management refused to move them to a quieter location. If you enjoy peace and quiet, and the ability to sleep, do not book a room here!

Peaceful Retreat
This was a wonderful place stay . Extremely close to the airport about 15 to 20 minutes drive . We came here July 8th and stayed until July 12th . It was quiet and peaceful . The staffs are wonderful , Friendly and courteous. End of June and start of July is suppose to be rainy season at Costa Rica and end of summer However, we did not get a lot of rain. It was very light rain with good amount of sunshine. It was the perfect weather around 75 to 85 F. Resort food was also very good with reasonable price . Lucy the spa manger is super friendly and suggested us places to go around . Loriana and Esbeth took care of us at the Spa and they great at their job . One of the best massage . Rooms are spacious and spectacular balcony views .

We love Xandari. You have the perfect combination of elegance and comfort, without the pretension and over solicitousness of other comparable hotels.

You have created wonder and magic, and have topped it off with a friendly and gracious staff.

My experience at Xandari has been more than value...it's about personal warmth and touch. Gentility is a rare treasure in the service industry. Costa Rica offers this on many levels and Xandari exceeds it.

We have never been to a place where the imprint of human creativity is so well balanced with the beauty of nature.

“Travel Dates: March 24-28, 2013 Room: Villa 3 We are from the States. We chose Xandari based upon ratings from the trip advisor website, its proximity to the San Jose airport and its centrally located position (w/r/t to the country as a whole). We chose to rent a vehicle (easy to drive in Costa Rica as long as u have a 4x4 vehicle and a GPS)- would recommend limited night time driving. Xandari was an oasis set on the hillside with beautiful views of San Jose. The first night we arrived, we were greeted by the bellman and hotel desk staff. We were quickly whisked away to our room. We had an Ultra villa, which was more than enough room for me and my wife. The room had a small collection of ants near the screen door (my wife is terrified of bugs so this was more of an issue for her). The staff was extremely apologetic and quickly made arrangements to transfer us to another room. They did so within 15 minutes and we failed to have another complaint. Service at the restaurant was great, especially given the laissez-faire attitudes of most Costa-Ricans. The grounds were well maintained. The staff was extremely attentive and responsive to any request. The rooms were cleaned well by the maids. The bed, at least in my unit, was comfortable. Things to note: No air-condition, but they do have fans upon request (it gets quite cool at night, so this wasn't a significant issue for us). No TVs in the room, but they do have one in the main house (more of an issue if u like to keep up on your sports,etc while on vacation). Mild-moderate amount of insects outside of your rooms, but keep in mind the resort is set in a hill side jungle, replete with water falls, etc so this should be expected”
