Reviews for Rancho Pacifico

Loved Rancho Pacifico for Honeymoon!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

We could not recommend Rancho Pacifico more! My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and loved every second. The experience was so relaxing and the view was INCREDIBLE. We enjoyed the various excursions offered and the food was the best we have ever had. We would recommend RP to anyone!

I'm not exaggerating in saying that Rancho Pacifico was one of the best resorts we've stayed at ever, and it all started with the service. This place was on point even before we arrived, we had trouble finding our shuttle driver at the airport but the concierge at RP jumped on it and solved it immediately. Then the arrival to the resort felt like we were VIPs, they saved dinner for us for our late arrival and let us go right to bed rather than a long check in process. We stayed in Treehouse Tamandua, the pics/video don't do full justice for how epic and gorgeous the view and room are. Their staff is so good our room was always cleaned when we returned from breakfast and again after dinner, we never even saw the cleaning crew it was like magic. One of the nicest touches is that instead of signing endless meal/drink receipts they keep track and you figure out tips and bill at the end. All of the excursions we booked were amazing, Chocolate tour, Epic waterfall hike, hiking around the grounds and the whale tail exceeded expectations. I've already started recommending RP to all my friends and I definitely plan to go back.

Outstanding experience at Rancho Pacifico

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Wow did we have a wonderful vacation at Rancho Pacifico!! We had scheduled our trip for 2023 as a celebration of our 30th anniversary, but due to a health emergency we had to reschedule for this summer and we could not have picked a better place. We have so many memories of our trip and our experiences from snorkeling, kayaking, hiking the on-site waterfall trail, exploring Corcovado National Park, eating and drinking. The friendliness of staff, the willingness to answer our questions, and the flexibility to adjust to our needs was exceptional. We never felt unheard or what we were asking was bothersome. We both have diet restrictions due to medical allergies/medical needs and there was never a problem accommodating us nor was there ever an instance where the wrong food had been served. The laughs at dinner time with the wait staff, bartender, and vacation friends was an unexpected enjoyment. Plus, the food and the drinks were delicious! The attention to detail throughout our trip was excellent from the moment our itinerary was emailed, to the adventure of our excursions and the nightly food and drink suggestions. We loved it so much that we have already booked our trip for next year and look forward to our time back at Rancho Pacifico, until then Pura Vida!!

This is by far the nicest place I’ve stayed. The resort is quaint and intimate with only about 15 people at a time staying there. The Tuscan Treehouse was immaculate and spacious with breathtaking views of the jungle and ocean. Housekeeping was great, providing clean linens and towels daily. The food was by far the best I’ve had. They served fancy, super fresh, delicious meals. The service was unbelievable especially Jason, Vienny, and Adrian. They knew everyone by name and knew our preferences. The drinks were top notch. We did the all inclusive option which I highly recommend. Adrian did a great job booking our excursions and communicating and making sure we had rides. The nearby town of Uvita is super safe and so neat to visit. I would go back in a heartbeat and highly recommend Rancho Pacifico. It’s more than 5 stars!

Worth it!

amazing experience. The treehouses are really beautiful (even better than the photos) and a great deal for the money. All the views are breathtaking and the food at the restaurant is top notch. Eat as many means as you can there. Check the rainy vs non rainy season, as this area of CR has its own micro climate. Also get a 4x4 to get up there.

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.
