Reviews for Rancho Pacifico

An Unforgettable Experience at RP

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 9 hours ago

From the moment we first reached out to RP to begin planning our stay, we knew we were in for something special. The communication was incredibly quick, detailed, and personal. That level of service continued the moment we arrived, when we were greeted by name and made to feel like we were the only guests there. The location is abs breathtaking. Our stay in the Treehouse Toucan was one of the highlights of the trip. The view was unmatched, and the amount of wildlife we were able to see right from our treehouse was incredible. We ended up spending hours just sitting there taking it all in. The staff went above and beyond throughout our entire stay. They helped plan excursion for us and through of every little detail. One morning, we had an early whale watching tour, the staff had our car pulled up with towels and our to-go breakfast already prepared and waiting for us. It's those little touches that truly set Rancho Pacifico apart. Then there was dinner every night. The chef prepared a tantalizing four course meal each evening, and honestly, it felt like Michelin even dining in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle. Every meal as something to look forward to. A very special thank you to Adrain, Henry, Jason, and Vianney for providing a top notch customer experience! Your hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine care made our stay truly unforgettable. RP isn't just a place to stay it is an experience we would highly recommend and hope to come back some day. -The Zarnow's

Beautiful amenities and gorgeous views. Loved the peacefulness and feeling of being alone in nature. Seeing and hearing the incredible wildlife was such a remarkable experience. Breathtaking area has such an abundance of creatures and plants. Amazing attentive staff. Delicious options on the menus. Fantastic remote getaway. Humidity is real. Also be prepared for the roads and walking or driving steeper inclines than what you may be used to. 5 stars from us. Thank you for your hospitality.

5 Star Family Trip at Rancho Pacifico

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

Our family of five just got back from an amazing week at Rancho Pacifico, and it exceeded every expectation. With a staff-to-guest ratio close to 1:1, we felt taken care of at every turn — the team was warm, attentive, and clearly invested in making our trip memorable. By day two, staff already knew our names and preferences, which gave the whole stay a wonderfully personal touch. The food was fantastic from start to finish, housekeeping came through twice daily, and the staff seamlessly coordinated everything — excursions, transportation, even having meals ready the moment we returned. Nothing was left for us to worry about. Add to that the jaw-dropping location — tucked into the rainforest with panoramic ocean views — and you’ve got a place that’s genuinely hard to leave. If you’re after an all-inclusive Costa Rica experience where every detail is handled and every moment feels special, Rancho Pacifico is it.

Another divine stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Just returned from 4 nights in the Whale's Tail villa and it was a magical experience. This was our second time returning in less than a year- it's that good. Not only is the property stunning, the wildlife abundant, and the food outstanding, what sets RP apart is the genuine hospitality by the staff. We were greeted with hugs and smiles and were treated like old friends. If you're considering RP or their sister property (Vista Celestial which rivals it in aesthetics), don't hesitate. You will come away with memories of a lifetime and if your lucky, new friends.

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.

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.
