Absolute amazing week at Rancho Pacifico. Treehouses have stunning views and so comfortable for relaxing. Extremely clean and housekeeping at least 2 times daily. The food is to die for and the service is over the top. Wake up to the Howler monkeys and the Toucans squealing. Incredible experience. Many excursions to choose from.

Rancho Pacifico is by far one of the most incredible resorts we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. From the pre-check-in experience to every detail during your stay, the staff at RP has you covered. We felt as though we had the entire place to ourselves most days. The food, it was amazing. I am missing the daily fresh juice and coffee. Our time spent there will be a memory we never forget, I was already trying to figure out when we can return.

Rancho Pacifico was the place! Very beautiful and peaceful. The view was like no other. Definitely the place to stay if you visit Costa Rica.

Rancho Pacifico earns its 5 stars in every possible way. The food is exceptional and exciting. The service is professional while being warm and welcoming and every need is anticipated. The location is unparalleled, unique, and every sightline is clearly thought out to maximize beauty- and privacy. We stayed in the Treehouse Tucan and it was perfection.

I am fortunate enough to have traveled to a lot of beautiful places in the world. Rancho Pacifico surpassed every expectation I had and tops them all. I desperately needed a break from my current stress, and I couldn't have chosen a more serene place to regroup. The treehouse was immaculate, the views were stunning, the amount of wildlife we saw was amazing, and the food - just wow. But what made this place truly special? The staff, hands down. From spending happy hour chatting with Vianney, to Andrey and Jason's superb service and attentiveness during meals, to Henry and Alan's assistance with planning and answering any questions we had, and sweet Adrian teaching us Spanish, helping with our every whim and making us feel so unbelievably welcome. Not once did we feel like anything we asked for was a burden. It's rare to find a place that feels both luxurious and homey/comfortable at the same time. I was so overwhelmed on our final morning that I couldn't speak without getting choked up because I couldn't imagine leaving this place. So much so that we're already planning our return trip (and I never go anywhere twice!) A sincere thank you to all the staff who made this trip so amazing. Seriously, stop researching, reading endless reviews, and second-guessing yourself and just book here. You truly can't ask for anything more.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
