Reviews for Rancho Pacifico
Serenity at its best! Don’t miss this opportunity to get rejuvenated.
This is our 4th year using RP as overflow for our Transformative Travel Experience for families who have lost loved ones to homicide. We typically use 3 rooms here and go back and forth between Rancho Pacifico and Vista Celestial. The flow is seamless and we love the staff on both properties. Everyone is so helpful and welcoming, they’re our extended family💜 RP’s food is delicious, the rooms are immaculate and comfortable, the views are beautiful and breathtaking!!! I highly recommend Rancho Pacifico if you’re looking for a high quality experience and a serene atmosphere.

Rancho Pacifico is perfect.
If you are looking for breathtaking jungle mountain views with the ocean shimmering in the distance while you're being pampered in the lap of luxury, then this is your place. My husband and I spent 10 days here on our long overdue honeymoon (after 15 years of marriage), and we loved every minute. The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and beyond accommodating. Our villa was absolutely beautiful, while still modern, and was cleaned twice a day while we were out on adventures or at dinner. Our villa's private plunge pool and wooden deck were perfect for just soaking in the incredibly scenery, watching Toucans in the trees, and listening to the howler monkeys. The food is delicious, and we were spoiled every meal! There is SO much do in the surrounding area, which isn't super touristy. The resort works with the local guides to create your itinerary for your stay, and are always ready to organize transportation, or hand you towels or water on your way off to your next adventure. Please just do it! You will only regret not being able to stay longer.

Peace, tranquility and beauty
The experience was amazing. The room was comfortable and the view was incredible. The staff were friendly, kind and professional. The assisted us promptly with everything we requested. The one random thing I didn’t know I appreciated so much was no television in the room. It seems it would have been out of place in such a tranquil environment. The peace and beauty brought such joy to my husband and me.

What an incredible vacation—what an extraordinary hotel! Thanks to Rancho Pacifico for an unforgettable experience—the service, the room, the food, the staff—all of it—wonderful!
-Anderson Cooper, CNN
Rancho Pacifico is paradise on earth. From the moment you arrive, you feel as if you've been invited into someone's home—only that home is at the top of a mountain, in the clouds, with breathtaking views of the beach and rainforests below. I would come back every year if I could.

Being able to get a wonderful massage in the heart of the rainforest was unbelievable.

My partner and I enjoyed our honeymoon at Rancho Pacifico so very much and have thought of it so often. We had such a lovely time. Wonderful people in paradise. I do not believe I have ever felt so welcome.
-S. Brown
Tranquility, serenity, bliss and peaceful restfulness await in the lush green rainforest while feeling free from the hassles of the 'real world'... Everyone is joyful, friendly and helpful.

Thanks to Rancho Pacifico for paradise on the mountain & for sharing their lovely Costa Rican ways. I loved my visit. My dreams were intense and fiery—not to be easily forgotten.
-Sheryl Crow, Singer & Songwriter
Rancho Pacifico is a sublime experience. Breathtaking scenery, fabulous accommodations, attentive staff, creative culinary, stimulating spa treatments, and delightful hosts all combine for a unique and memorable adventure in paradise! The fishing is good off the coast and the hotel staff goes out of their way in every way to ensure that you will have a memorable and maximum experience. There are more than enough outdoor activities to fill your day in Uvita and Dominical, the Costa Ricans are very friendly and the staff at Rancho Pacifico can handle all arrangements. This is the most unique and special hotel that I have ever visited and the attention you get from the owners and the staff is indeed world class.
