Reviews for Rancho Pacifico
Just book it!
I wish I had a better vocabulary to describe Rancho Pacifico. The privacy and seclusion of being in the rain forest, the wonderful staff who handle anything you require, the glorious food and cocktails, what's not to love? It was truly a fantastic and unforgettable week for my wife and I, and I highly, highly recommend. Do yourself a favour and spoil yourself for a stay at Rancho Pacifico!

Perfection
Phenomenal food, staff, location, amenities and everything. Would highly recommend staying in the treehouses - they are better than pictured and so private! 10/10

True luxury
Truly an unforgettable experience. It’s the staff the that make all the difference. Adrian and Henry went out of their way to make this so special for us. Don’t get me started on the food. Those pork ribs and steak with chimichurri sauce will live rent free in my head for a while.

What an incredible vacation—what an extraordinary hotel! Thanks to Rancho Pacifico for an unforgettable experience—the service, the room, the food, the staff—all of it—wonderful!
-Anderson Cooper, CNN
Rancho Pacifico is paradise on earth. From the moment you arrive, you feel as if you've been invited into someone's home—only that home is at the top of a mountain, in the clouds, with breathtaking views of the beach and rainforests below. I would come back every year if I could.

Being able to get a wonderful massage in the heart of the rainforest was unbelievable.

My partner and I enjoyed our honeymoon at Rancho Pacifico so very much and have thought of it so often. We had such a lovely time. Wonderful people in paradise. I do not believe I have ever felt so welcome.
-S. Brown
Tranquility, serenity, bliss and peaceful restfulness await in the lush green rainforest while feeling free from the hassles of the 'real world'... Everyone is joyful, friendly and helpful.

Thanks to Rancho Pacifico for paradise on the mountain & for sharing their lovely Costa Rican ways. I loved my visit. My dreams were intense and fiery—not to be easily forgotten.
-Sheryl Crow, Singer & Songwriter
Rancho Pacifico is a sublime experience. Breathtaking scenery, fabulous accommodations, attentive staff, creative culinary, stimulating spa treatments, and delightful hosts all combine for a unique and memorable adventure in paradise! The fishing is good off the coast and the hotel staff goes out of their way in every way to ensure that you will have a memorable and maximum experience. There are more than enough outdoor activities to fill your day in Uvita and Dominical, the Costa Ricans are very friendly and the staff at Rancho Pacifico can handle all arrangements. This is the most unique and special hotel that I have ever visited and the attention you get from the owners and the staff is indeed world class.
