About the Hotel

Immerse yourself in lush tropical beauty, surrounded by 40 acres of vibrant landscape high above Costa Rica's Central Valley, and soak in the sunny skies of Xandari Resort & Spa. Just outside of San Jose, this amazing resort - with approximately three miles of scenic trails, a river and waterfalls - will show you the true wonder of Central America. Stunning guest villas offer flowing architecture that winds through the gardens and creates a modern-meets-tropical design that is at once elegantly stunning and gracefully tranquil. Bright and open rooms are spacious and breezy, with gleaming tiled floors, pure white walls, and vivid colorful accents - all tied in to the rich wood décor and furniture. Brilliant natural light streams in through large sliding glass doors, while the views from private garden terraces will truly take your breath away.

Reviews for Xandari Resort And Spa

Relax and nature only one hour from San Jose

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 22 hours ago

Beautiful place only one hour outside of San Jose, where we live, so a real discovery. The staff is exceptional in terms of service, and the SPA a delight, we very much enjoyed the couple massage, facial, jacuzzi and recommend Irene 100% for all these treatments.

Best Spa Experience! With Irene!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

I traveled to Costa Rica and stayed at the highly recommended Xandari resort & spa. First I booked the Ayura Heaven experience under the special moments category. My technicians name was Irene and she was wonderful. The Ayura Heaven experience included a conditioning hair treatment, body exfoliation, full body massage and one hour in the jacuzzi. The view of the mountains from the room was incredible. The conditioning hair treatment was my personal favorite part. She could have massaged my head all day. The scrub for the body exfoliation smelt wonderful. I asked Irene for a deep tissue massage and she did the most amazing job. She is very professional. After that I got to enjoy some alone time in the private jacuzzi. I had such a great experience that I booked again for the next day! The next day I booked the Super Moisturizer Facial. It was amazing. Irene was very gentle during the extraction process. She also massaged my head, neck and hands which made the experience even better. If I was staying longer I would've booked again! I will be back though and look forward to my next massage with Irene. Thank you so much!

This is a very beautiful oasis that puts you in the feel of being one with nature. We stayed in one of the ultra villas (room 22) which is the best set up in my opinion. Fresh air always. There is no AC and it is perfect without it. We loved every moment. The food was spectacular. And I would like to highlight Oscar, who was our server, as he was very hospitable and a great overall host during breakfast and dinner. Make sure to walk the trails on the property. It is a beautiful property with nice trails and waterfalls. If you are not used to being in a higher altitude, please prepare your body to adjust to walking distances as getting winded faster could happen. Again this is peace and reconnecting to nature and self at its finest. Open the patio doors and listen to nature’s orchestra.

Relaxing spot outside of San Jose

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Lovely, quiet, relaxing. A great starting point for the rest of our upcoming adventures. Lovely private villa with view over the jungle and town. Huge bed. Private deck. Dinner in the veranda of the restaurant was beautiful. We enjoyed the waterfall walks and the 3rd infinite pool with views was especially delightful.

We love Xandari. You have the perfect combination of elegance and comfort, without the pretension and over solicitousness of other comparable hotels.

You have created wonder and magic, and have topped it off with a friendly and gracious staff.

We have never been to a place where the imprint of human creativity is so well balanced with the beauty of nature.

My experience at Xandari has been more than value...it's about personal warmth and touch. Gentility is a rare treasure in the service industry. Costa Rica offers this on many levels and Xandari exceeds it.

“Travel Dates: March 24-28, 2013 Room: Villa 3 We are from the States. We chose Xandari based upon ratings from the trip advisor website, its proximity to the San Jose airport and its centrally located position (w/r/t to the country as a whole). We chose to rent a vehicle (easy to drive in Costa Rica as long as u have a 4x4 vehicle and a GPS)- would recommend limited night time driving. Xandari was an oasis set on the hillside with beautiful views of San Jose. The first night we arrived, we were greeted by the bellman and hotel desk staff. We were quickly whisked away to our room. We had an Ultra villa, which was more than enough room for me and my wife. The room had a small collection of ants near the screen door (my wife is terrified of bugs so this was more of an issue for her). The staff was extremely apologetic and quickly made arrangements to transfer us to another room. They did so within 15 minutes and we failed to have another complaint. Service at the restaurant was great, especially given the laissez-faire attitudes of most Costa-Ricans. The grounds were well maintained. The staff was extremely attentive and responsive to any request. The rooms were cleaned well by the maids. The bed, at least in my unit, was comfortable. Things to note: No air-condition, but they do have fans upon request (it gets quite cool at night, so this wasn't a significant issue for us). No TVs in the room, but they do have one in the main house (more of an issue if u like to keep up on your sports,etc while on vacation). Mild-moderate amount of insects outside of your rooms, but keep in mind the resort is set in a hill side jungle, replete with water falls, etc so this should be expected”
