Reviews for Rancho Pacifico

Rancho Pacifico 10/10!!!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 13 hours ago

My husband and I wanted to visit Costa Rica to celebrate 15 years of marriage and because Costa Rica was our top choice for our first international travel! We opted to book an all inclusive resort and chose to stay with Rancho Pacifico based off excellent reviews online. Travel was easy to get there and we felt safe. We chose to stay in the Tucan Treehouse room and the view and nature sounds were exceptional! I already miss waking up in that paradise atmosphere. The resort was private, clean, beautiful, relaxing, calm, and filled with the friendliest staff. Jason would make us custom smoothies! We adored him. We had delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners made every day of our stay. The staff even made us to-go breakfast meals on our way to excursions. We selected a package that offered 3 excursions and a couple’s massage with the resort. The resort provided car service with friendly drivers to take us to our excursions. It made our visit to Costa Rica so easy and stress free. We did early excursions and enjoyed watching the afternoon rainfall from the Tucan Treehouse balcony! I highly recommend the following excursions: snorkeling in Caño Island, horseback ride with Rancho La Merced, and OSA Canopy zipline tour. Everything went above and beyond our expectations. We would definitely visit again! Thank you Rancho Pacifico!!

10 STAR GEM

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 14 hours ago

Rancho Pacifico exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is beautiful, the accommodations were incredibly comfortable, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. One of my favorite details was hearing Jungle and Khruangbin playing when we checked in—the same playlist we had on during the drive. It immediately felt like a place that was right up our alley. The food was also outstanding. We originally planned to explore different restaurants every night, but after our first dinner, we kept finding reasons to stay and eat on property. It was simply too good to leave. If you're looking for a place that combines luxury (without the pretension), relaxation, amazing food, and a truly special atmosphere, Rancho Pacifico delivers. We can't wait to come back. P.S. The drive is not nearly as bad as other people are claiming. We left every day and loved having our own car to do our own thing.

Luxury, Nature, and Exceptional Hospitality — A Perfect Stay at Rancho Pacifico

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Rancho Pacifico is one of the best places my wife and I have ever stayed. It offers the perfect combination of luxury and nature. The staff treated us exceptionally well and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food and drinks were outstanding, and every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. As a bonus, there is a Fiery Billed Aracari nest by the reception. It was wonderful to see a whole family of Aracaris, Yellow Throated Toucans, Tanagers and many more wildlife while enjoying the comforts of this beautiful place. We are already planning to return for a longer stay—at least a week! Thank you, Rancho Pacifico, for such a wonderful and memorable experience. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Tremendous Experience in Costa Rica

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Was an absolutely terrific experience. Lots of great excursion opportunities along with a beach nearby for a nice hike. The food was great - all three meals each day were made with skill and care. Toucans were always flying into view and my wife and I miss seeing them sitting in the trees. Incredible views from any point on the resort grounds. Our room had huge windows that opened up to the jungle views.

Perfect Honeymoon!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

We stayed at Rancho Pacifico for our honeymoon, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful, private, and incredibly special—exactly what we were hoping for after our wedding. The property is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views, lush surroundings, and a calm, intimate atmosphere that makes it easy to fully relax. Our villa was beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with every detail focused on comfort and luxury. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They were warm, attentive, and always available without ever being intrusive. The food was another highlight—every meal felt fresh, delicious, and carefully prepared, and dining with that view made it even more special. We also loved how secluded and quiet everything felt, while still having plenty of opportunities for activities, excursions, or simply enjoying time together. If you’re looking for a romantic, high-end getaway for a honeymoon or special occasion, Rancho Pacifico is truly something special. We left feeling relaxed, spoiled, and already dreaming about coming back.

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.

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.
