Xandari Resort And Spa

Really enjoyed our stay . Beautiful, quirky, interesting architecturally and great artwork. Jocelyn and Elizabeth were both great at the Spa, the treatment rooms were lovely , amazing views. The chef is really good the food beat our expectations by far. The receptionist was friendly and efficient and the use of WhatsApp to book the spa and restaurant was handy. The grounds are beautifully kept a credit to the team.

Overview: Beautiful property and gardens, luxury resort with great facilities. Service: Excellent from every member of staff. Helpful and friendly with a special thank you to Karla for her extra special care, friendly manner and help. I always admire how some people can interact with people they've never met before, probably won't meet again and still provide service and information with a freshness that makes one feel one is the most important person ever! Accommodation: We had a Prima Plus Villa. It was very large, had its own little garden and a lovely balcony with great views and every amenity one could wish for including a huge bathroom and loads of storage. The slight downside was that it is amongst a small group of villas down hill from the main building (restaurant, reception) but reception send a golf buggy down to collect people if one doesn't want to walk up the hill. Location: Perhaps Xandari's Achilles heal. It is quite a way from both the airport and San Jose and the significant traffic means journeys to/from the hotel took us quite a long time. For that reason, we only ate in the hotel. Additionally, there is some irregular noise from planes and this can occur in the early hours. It's a shame but we didn't find it so intrusive as to disrupt our stay. Food: Although Xandari is in large grounds, it is a relatively small hotel in terms of accommodations. As might expect that plays into a somewhat limited breakfast buffet but hot dishes to order were available. We ate dinner twice and on both occasions the food was excellent. We stayed 3 nights. On our 2 full days we had 'half day' tours . That did not give us enough time to explore all the hotel grounds so we didn't get time to visit the waterfalls or use the spa, which looked amazing.

Lisbeth was an awesome massage therapist! I feel so relaxed after a terrific vacation in a beautiful country!

The spa was excellent, we had the jacuzzi and massage experience. What a great view from the tub, overlooking the valley, galls of wine in hand. We had the most amazing massages from Gloriana and Deymi. We left so relaxed. Thankyou ladies! Highly recommend

On our annual trip to Costa Rica we always spend a few nights at Xandari. Located conveniently 20-30 minutes outside San Jose and on a hillside overlooking the city and valley this is the perfect place to start (or end) your CR visit. The grounds and rooms are artistically majestic. There are paths to see waterfalls, several pools, and views everywhere. There is a wonderful restaurant. And a great spa with Manager Lucy, and therapists Lisbeth and Gloriana who provided exceptional service. You can't go wrong with a stay here.
