Reviews for Rancho Pacifico
Amazing Hotel
This place is amazing. The rooms are perfect and for us, a couple, the seclusion yet closeness was perfect. The spa is great. The food is great. The staff are outstanding. I highly recommend this place if you want a perfect slice of the Pura Vida. There is only one thing that could possibly be considered a slight challenge about this place and that is that it truly does take a 4x4 to access it. :)

Paradise on top of a mountain
Absolutely amazing experience. The staff was super accommodating and friendly. My wife and I feel like the package we went with was well worth it and everything included was awesome. The food and drinks are all fresh ingredients and taste great.

Amazing stay in Costs Rica
From the moment we arrived, our time at RP was absolutely five star. The food was outstanding (favorites were hummus toast and avocado toast for breakfast, tuna ceviche and Casado for lunch). The staff paid attention to each and every detail. Our stay at the secluded Treehouse Tamandua was exactly what we needed. If you want total privacy, I can’t recommend this option enough. We booked waterfall rapelling and zip lining through RP and both companies were wonderful. If you opt to drive, you will definitely want to rent a 4x4, as recommended by RP. The roads are steep and slippery when it rains. I truly hope to visit again.

Amazing resort.
Absolute amazing week at Rancho Pacifico. Treehouses have stunning views and so comfortable for relaxing. Extremely clean and housekeeping at least 2 times daily. The food is to die for and the service is over the top. Wake up to the Howler monkeys and the Toucans squealing. Incredible experience. Many excursions to choose from.

Beyond expectations
Rancho Pacifico is by far one of the most incredible resorts we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. From the pre-check-in experience to every detail during your stay, the staff at RP has you covered. We felt as though we had the entire place to ourselves most days. The food, it was amazing. I am missing the daily fresh juice and coffee. Our time spent there will be a memory we never forget, I was already trying to figure out when we can return.

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!

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.

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.
