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.

Reviews for Xandari Resort And Spa
Renewed & disconnected
The place is beautiful, has a great environment, it's very relaxing and lovely view. Makes it easy to disconnect from everything. The staff is nice and friendly, very professional. The products are good and soothing.

Arty hotel, great view and garden. Exceptional Spa treatment
Arty hotel above Alajuela with lovely gardens, big colourful rooms overlooking Central Valley. Do explore the paths around the hotel to the waterfall, pools and amazing spa. Exceptional bamboo massage by Irene and Yoselin. Lovely staff on reception and Oscar in restaurant. Only negatives are occasional aircraft noise, need a taxi into town and rooms a little tired. We recommend.

Excellent resort with great massage therapists, Irene and deimi.
Our stay at Xandari, since 2003, has always been excellent. During our current stay, we boomed deep tissue massages with Miss Irene and Miss Deimi. They turned out to be exceptionally talented therapists. They knew the true technique of their work, and they also worked with great enthusiasm and a true desire to heal. We felt delighted and totally rejuvenated with massage from both Irene and deimi. We recommend them strongly and we will request for their service in our future visits to this resort, thank you Irene, thank you deimi.

Amazing service
The spa is one of a kind experience! Lisbeth and Deimy were very attentive to all our needs. The massage was great and the jacuzzi´s view is amazing. A perfect get away experience close to the city.

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”
