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.

Perfect place
We stayed 8 days and had a perfect time every day. The room was spacious and had great amenities, including comfortable beds, luxurious bathroom and shower, with a private garden and patio with a great view over the jungle, the sky, and the city at a far distance. Lucy, spa manager, told us about her love for the owners of the hotel (an architect and an artist) which made us appreciate the beauty of the place even more. The gardeners tend to the site in such loving ways that nature can comfortably be enjoyed. Every day there was an activity organized and I had a yoga session with Glorianne that was so relaxing. Tea at 4PM every day. And the food was delicious and varied. Attention to detail and attentiveness of the staff was the best we ever experienced.

Great hotel not to be missed
We have just left (and I mean a couple of hours ago) Xandari Resort. What a great location with great, unusual and unique rooms and grounds. Add to that the really helpful and friendly staff and this is a great place to stay. Whether at the beginning, during or at end of a Costa Rica adventure, if this hotel has come up on your radar then book it. If you're needing an airport stop-over, stay here as it's only a short distance away and you won't regret it.

The hotel and Spa have a great view of the Central Valley, the atmosphere is very relaxed and the spa is great, our hosts in the spa were Gloriana and Joselin. I will come back soon.

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”
