Rancho Santana

10/10 experience. Januar, Jovagny & Miguel were our guides and led us through the beach and the town. The horses were tame, and we were able to gallop at the stables once we arrived. Highly recommend!

Rancho Santana is a special place. The staff is amazing - they are welcoming and always eager to help. The food is particularly fantastic (especially for a resort and especially given how far they are from many of the creature comforts that chefs are used to). Our kids did kids club a handful of days, which they loved. the spa was UNREAL great... I will always want a cold plunge before a spa treatment now. The surf lessons were great, and the instructor was fabulous with our 7 year old. We have been to Costa Rica a number of times, and I honestly far preferred the feeling of Rancho Santana. It felt unpolished in the best way; a hidden gem with insane beaches, gorgeous sunsets, and lovely people.

Rancho Santana is absolutely our favorite family vacation. We have been going for over 10 years now and love it so much. The Rancho Santana team is amazing… so kind, accommodating, helpful and just a pleasure to work with and be around. They ensure your trip is easy and perfect so that you can simply relax and enjoy the good life. The surf is epic, the beaches are stunning, the pools are awesome, and there’s something to do and explore for everyone. And it is super kid friendly! Our daughter asked to do kids club every day (thank you Jessica and Karina - you’re the best). Fernando and the team at the stables are also incredible and our family loves the horseback riding. The holding trails, mountain bike riding, wildlife scouting, and everything the ranch offers is simply amazing. The food is also a highlight. From breakfast, coffee, and warm morning smiles from the team at the Cafe, to dinners at La Fina y El Mar and sunset sushi + wood fired pizza at La Boquita! And lunches poolside too. It’s all great! Special thanks to Ronnie, David and Luis A for their amazing service at La Fina and La Boquita. We had a 1.5 year old and 5.5 year old with us for every meal and they always made us feel welcome and were so good with our kids. The concierge team is amazing as well. They will ensure your trip is perfect! Thanks Rancho Santana! We love it! See you next year!

We had an incredible time at Rancho Santana! We hosted our wedding there and welcomed friends & family from all over the world. Everyone was impressed and wanted to stay longer. From the friendly staff that makes you feel like it's your home, to the incredible fam-to-table food, the beautiful beaches to the exciting adventures, Rancho Santana is everything you could ever imagine it to be and more. It's a place that is now so special to my husband and I, and we cannot wait to go back again and again.

Had a wonderful time staff was great, food was great. We had an excellent horseback ride with Miguel and Fernando, highly recommend it.
