Rancho Pacifico

My wife and I recently stayed at Rancho Pacifico for my wife’s 60th birthday. What an incredible experience! From the modern amenities of the treehouse we stayed in to the 1st class staff that took care of us like you would never imagine! The food was unbelievable! Kudos to Andrey our server, he was such a pleasure!! Definitely going back!!

This place is truly outstanding (my highest ranking) ! The Treehouse Tucan is beautiful, large, well appointed and very private with spectacular views and Tucan's right off the balcony. The food and service is also top notch and this area of Costa Rica is spectacular. Highly recommended! As is the ATV tour of the hills, streams, waterfalls and coffee plantation in the rain forest.

My partner and I just returned home from a week at Rancho Pacifico. This was hands down one of the best trips we have taken. From the moment we stepped into the resort, we felt relaxed and at home. Every prior review was accurate, this place is as good as it sounds. We stayed in Treehouse Tucan which was very close the main area of the resort and very secluded and private. Every day, we would watch the sunset from our balcony and read on the swinging chair. The view was unmatched and the room was spacious and fit all of our needs. We chose to do the all inclusive package which included massages, yoga, and three activities. I felt like it was worth the cost. Each meal was four courses and delicious. The drinks were creative and there was a good variety of options. For activities we did Corcavado National Park (1.5 hours by boat to get there), Water Repelling (our favorite), ATV Tour (prepare to get a bit dusty!), and we went to Nuayaca Waterfall (you can hike or get a ride), and on two days they took us to different beaches. We chose to not rent a car and work with them with transportation which was included in our package. That fit our needs and we never had an issue getting where we needed to go (or even go get sunscreen). As others noted in prior reviews, what really makes this place special is the wonderful staff that we got to know each day. Henry and Adrian arranged all of our activities, and if we needed a taxi it was there within minutes. Andrey, Jason, and Vianney provided great service and we enjoyed our nightly conversations with each of them. We felt incredibly relaxed and loved the expansive view we saw each evening. With a maximum of about 20 people, you can go without seeing any people so if you like big resorts with a lot of people, this is not the resort for you. After a long year, this was just the vacation, adventure, and place we needed. We will be back!

My husband and two older children (ages 18 and 22) and I just got back from staying at Rancho Pacifico for eight nights and everything about the place far exceeded our expectations. We have stayed in 5 star properties around the world (Peninsula, Oberoi, 4S, etc) and this place matched their level of service. The food - prepared every night by a chef - is fresh, varied and flavorful. The grounds are impeccably maintained. But the best part is the service - the concierge team handled everything from excursions to transportation for us seamlessly so that we didn’t have to worry about anything and could just relax and enjoy. Staff was always available and happy to assist - whether it was to make us a fresh pot of French press before a 6am excursion or serve us a perfectly made ice cold martini at the bar after a long day of activities. At one point I needed a prescription medication, so the GM dropped everything, made some calls with his staff and personally drove me to the local pharmacy to help me pick up my medicine. Another time, my husband’s water sandals, which he needed for the following day’s rappelling excursion, ripped. One of the staff members took them home, fixed them, and returned them to him the next morning. I was near tears when we had to say our goodbyes and head back to the airport, but suffice it to say I’ll always remember the gorgeous sunsets and incredible, genuine warmth of everyone at Rancho Pacifico that made our holiday so special and unforgettable.

We had the MOST amazing time at Rancho Pacifico. There were only 2 drawbacks… 1. There is no liquid coffee creamer (e.g. half and half) in the rooms. This is the most minor nitpick of all time and we realize that. If anything, it’s a testament to how amazing our stay was. 2. The ride up and down the mountain can be rougher for those not initiated to rocky roads. It is an unpaved, rocky, mountain road and can jarring if you aren’t used to it. The views at the top are 10000% worth it, but it can be a deterrent for some. Or at least something to plan for each day (it’s not just a quick/easy/smooth drive down to town). All in all, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. The service is unmatched. The views are sublime. The wildlife is abundant. The spa was fantastic. The restaurant was divine. The vibes were immaculate. Do consider this place for your next stay in Uvita!! We will be back. B & P
