My stay at Rancho Pacifico was truly a 10/10 experience and easily one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely incredible—every meal felt like a gourmet dining experience with fresh, beautifully prepared dishes that we looked forward to every day. The rooms were spotless and extremely well maintained, making it easy to fully relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. What really made the stay unforgettable was the staff(Jason,Vianney,Adrian,Henry and Andrey). Everyone was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely friendly. They went out of their way to make sure every detail of our stay was perfect and that we felt completely taken care of. Between the amazing food, immaculate accommodations, and outstanding service, Rancho Pacifico delivered a truly exceptional experience. If you're looking for a place to relax, be pampered, and enjoy an unforgettable vacation, I can’t recommend this resort highly enough. We’re already dreaming about coming back!

Rancho Pacifico was a dream! I have been recommending it to everyone I tell about my trip. Everything has been thought through and cared for, and the staff are all exceptional. I stayed in the Treehouse Puma and it was incredible. I can’t say enough about the entire grounds of the hotel. Thank you!

Everything from the accommodations to the service to the food was superb. We had our wedding at Rancho Pacifico and we stayed at the Villa Romantica. It was honestly the nicest accommodations we have ever stayed at and we are used to being spoiled. The service was amazing. The staff go out of their way to learn what you like and dislike. My wife is vegan and they were more than accommodating. They don’t know how to say no. If you’re looking for uncompromising luxury do yourself a favour and book an all inclusive package here. You’re welcome.

Second time at Rancho Pacifico in less than 1 year. Unlike many resorts we've travelled to multiple times that were less enjoyable the second time around, Rancho Pacifico and Costa Rica in general definitely did not disappoint on the return. Great team at RP, beautiful location, and food/beverage service are second to none. We did a couples massage this time around that made us wonder why we skipped this part of the experience the first time we visited. The only disappointing thing was we booked too late to book one of the Treehouses as we did first time around. We will most definitely return!!

Rancho Pacifico knocks it out of the park! Treehouse Tamandua was incredible, infinity pool overlooking the whale’s tail was simply beautiful and every meal was amazing. Great variety, great taste, and I’d even go so far as to say the presentation was borderline spectacular. But most importantly it was the staff that made our stay near perfect. Every staff member should be commended for going out of their way to ensure every little need was taken care of. Muy Rico - Muchas Gracias!

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.
