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
Fabulous!
I experienced the most fantastic, thorough deep tissue massage I’ve ever had. Yoselin brought my body back to life! Thank you so much.

Amazing spa treatments
Just finished a wonderful 'relaxing combo' massage treatment for two with Elisabeth and Joseline. 30 min pre-treatment hot tub overlooking the jungle and San Jose below followed by an hour full body massage. Beautiful treatment, fantastic technique, super relaxing. If you're coming to Xandari, don't hesitate and book into the spa too!!

Pura Vida Spa Bliss ✨
The view from the treatment views is breathtaking and the sound bath is not to be missed… completely envelops you in the vibration!! Finished off with a dip in the sunset pool, beautiful experience.

A must stay in San Jose!
I’ve been coming to this hotel for 21 years and truly consider it my home away from home. The staff is always welcoming, the rooms are comfortable and spotless, and the entire property has a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere that keeps me coming back year after year. It’s a must-stay in San José, especially before or after a flight, thanks to its convenience, safety, and charm. One of the things I love most is how much there is to enjoy on-site. The hotel has beautiful hiking trails with stunning views and peaceful surroundings, perfect for stretching your legs and soaking in nature. And with three gorgeous pools to choose from, there’s always a quiet spot to take a dip, relax in the sun, or unwind with a good book. This time, we also had an incredible experience at the spa. Libia and Josselyn went above and beyond so professional, kind, and talented. We left feeling completely renewed and will absolutely make a point to visit them again next time. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for consistently creating such a special, welcoming experience. I’m already looking forward to my next stay and hopefully many more to come!

Xandari Honeymoon
We had an amazing time at the Xandari. We chose it as our honeymoon and were very happy that we did. As for the spa…Libia was absolutely wonderful. I am relatively new to professional massages, but this 60 minute session was by far the best I have had.

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.
-H. & S. Parker
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”
