Hacienda AltaGracia, an Auberge Resort

This place is incredible. A resort that sprawls over an entire side of a mountain -- the resort itself is stunning and well manicured, and it also has miles and miles of trails through the jungle that are also incredible. It felt like a national park right there on the property. Food was delicious, locally sourced from area farms. The coffee lover in me was in heaven -- local beans, a variety of brew methods, and knowledgable baristas that know coffee and the local farms better than 99.5% of the world. This place does a great job giving you everything you could ever want and need -- I highly recommend.

Our stay at AltaGracia was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we landed at SJO, the process of VIP customs, charter plane and the arrival at the resort were all effortless. The resort is gorgeous and has a plethora of activities to indulge in, which made our stay so special. However, the one thing that sticks out most from our stay is the level of service. We have traveled extensively around the world and we have never experienced a level of service like AltaGracia. Their attention to detail and above-and - beyond nature not only made us feel like royalty but made our experience one of a kind. It would be a dream to have the opportunity to return!

Unbelievable opportunity to stay in one of the most remote and beautiful hotel experiences in the world. Come for the first class service and luxury but come back for the people. I've never felt more at ease while being doted on hand and foot. The food was an experience and an education. We enjoyed the activities, we enjoyed the facilities and we enjoyed a walk in the rainforrest. Absolutely first rate experience.

My stay at Hacienda AltaGracia was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, the service felt warm, personal, and truly world-class. The casitas were beautiful, private, and surrounded by breathtaking nature and mountain views. The atmosphere was peaceful and restorative, yet every detail still felt luxurious and elevated. The food, wellness experiences, and overall attention to detail made this one of the most memorable properties I’ve experienced in Costa Rica. If you are looking for a luxury retreat focused on relaxation, wellness, nature, and authentic experiences, Hacienda AltaGracia is truly special. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already wanting to return.

As a luxury travel advisor, I've stayed at exceptional properties around the world. Hacienda AltaGracia genuinely stands apart. It started the moment we arrived. The experience was seamless and special in a way that's hard to articulate but impossible to miss. From there, the tone was set for everything that followed. The service was simply unmatched. Everyone on property knew our names. Our preferences were remembered without being prompted. Our needs were anticipated before we even voiced them. That level of attentiveness is rare, and it made every moment feel effortless and deeply personal. The River Bath was a highlight of the wellness experience. It's a unique treatment that left me feeling cared for, completely relaxed, but somehow energized, and with noticeably smoother skin. Absolutely worth trying. And the food was a close second to all of it. Every meal felt thoughtful and connected to the place itself, which added another layer to an already immersive experience. The little touches throughout are what I keep coming back to. They're the difference between a property that's beautiful and one that's truly memorable. Hacienda AltaGracia is absolutely the latter. I'll be recommending this property with full confidence. It delivered on every promise luxury travel is supposed to make.
