Reviews for Rancho Pacifico

Eight Days in Paradise!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 18 hours ago

We spent eight glorious days at Rancho Pacifico and cannot wait to return to this magical place in Costa Rica! It is hard to even put into words how special and unique RP is. From the delicious food to the impeccable service, we felt pampered and relaxed our entire time there. We chose RP after doing a lot of research for an adults-only and romantic resort submerged in nature, and that’s exactly what it is. We saw Tucans and parakeets feasting on the trees right outside our room. Beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds floating around all day long. And we awoke every day to the sound of howler monkeys in the distance. We stayed in the Puma treehouse. Incredible! Open air shower, comfortable bed, large deck. Very private and stunning views of the mountains, ocean, and rainforest. Everything is so clean and beautiful. This particular treehouse does have a challenging pathway to navigate several times a day to get to the restaurant and pool. Just something to keep in mind if you book it. We dined on specially prepared meals three times a day and drank delicious mocktails by the pool. Every single person who works there was friendly and helpful, and they even helped us with our Spanish. This was the best vacation we have ever taken!

A Vacation to Remember

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

We just returned for 6 wonderful nights at Rancho Pacifico. The staff is truly outstanding and makes the trip highly personable. The treehouse was immaculate with stunning views of the rainforest and the Pacific. The food is wonderful. The breakfast and lunch menus are delicious. The evening meal is chef’s choice and the highlight each day. My wife and I chose to relax by the pool each day, but the excursion options looked great. We were so impressed with the resort that we rebooked for 2027. A true slice of paradise. One of our favorite vacation spots!. A special thank you to Andrey, Vianay, Henry, and Adrien. Thank you for a special week!

Wonderful Honeymoon in "Off -Season"

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

My husband and I booked RP for our honeymoon in June - "off season". We stayed in the Puma Treehouse. The place was beautiful with many amenities and fun places to visit on the ranch, such as a hike-able waterfall on the property and a spa. Our room was well kept and cleaned when we left for activities. The concierge helped us plan activities and booked them for us (we enjoyed the white water rafting and paragliding). The waitstaff was pleasant and the food (complimentary breakfast and 4 course dinner) was wonderful! The drive up the mountain to Rancho is a little intimidating if you are not used to mountain drives, but a 4x4 vehicle and experienced driver can make it. If not, the staff offers to drive you too and from your adventures. We did experience rain 2/6 days we were there but planned ahead and brought some board games for that time, but spending them in the treehouse with an amazing view was still great! It began to feel like home. We definitely recommend Rancho Pacifico and the Puma treehouse if you are looking for a pampered, beautiful, and adventurous getaway!

Stunning property with outstanding service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

We had the most amazing time! Every member of staff was incredible, the villa was beautiful, the property and views were stunning, the food was delicious, I have nothing bad to say. They coordinated our car service from the airport on arrival and to a rental property after our stay and it was seamless. Our spa service was fabulous. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Pura vida!

From the moment we were met at the airport until our last farewell, each moment at Rancho Pacifico was a piece of paradise! The staff's attention to the smallest details to the unfaltering commitment to pura vida, we were impressed every moment of our stay!

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.
