Xandari Resort & Spa

We went there for a getaway and recharge. We truly did! The staff was excellent, and the premises were entirely covered in diverse vegetation, which was beautiful. The food with ingredients grown there was exquisite—10/10 place. The ambiance and architecture were unique, making the stay more memorable. The transportation from/to the hotel, arranged in advance, was very convenient. Many tours are available, and you cannot miss Luis M. as your tour guide. Not only will he transport you and show you new places, but he will also go the extra mile to ensure you have the best experience ever. If you want to rest, connect with nature, and totally disconnect from the busy day, this is the place. The Spa was AMAZING. We only stayed 3 days but did the spa twice. What an experience.

The Xandari Resort and Spa was a wondrous place to recalibrate. The attention to detail that infused the decor and atmosphere with so much character and personality was charming. The farm to table food was delicious. Everyone was kind, warm, knowledgeable, and gracious. There are plenty places to catch your breath and pause. Between the botanical garden, random cute places to sit on the different trails on the property, two minimum pools and two jacuzzis, you can truly enjoy your time. Xandari is elevated you get to experience breathtaking views from your veranda or at the restaurant, especially at night where you see not only the picturesque mountains and landscape, but the city line and lights while enjoying gourmet meals. The spa was adorned with sweet fragrances and hospitable staff. Amy provided my 60 mins aromatherapy massage and it was delightful. Xandari family (staff) were just extraordinary by going above and beyond to ensure all patrons and guests were comfortable, aware of the myriad of support services, and welcomed us into the fold. It was simply wonderful and I'd highly recommend to others and plan to return when I visit Costa Rica again. Thank you for making my stay comfortable and charming. I've attached some photos of the property.

The location! In the hills above SanJose, with incredible views overlooking the city! The property! The grounds are breathtaking, flowers, plants & birds everywhere! Well maintained hiking trails, waterfalls!!! 3 pools! A glorious spa for massages & private jacuzzi! The food! Everything is grown, harvested on prepared with love & expertise! The STAFF! I cannot say enough about everyone our paths crossed, but special big hugs for the amazing Karla at reception! The open arm warmth of care she treated us like we were royalty & family✨ This place is a true gem ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The staff were so friendly! Carla and Oscar especially! The spa was divine, slightly less expensive than what I normally pay in the USA. Definitely add the hot tub experience to your treatment! I rec bringing cash for tips. Although gratuity is included at the restaurant. They organized all of our day trips and airport transport with ease. Our room was huge! Clean and beautiful! So private. We felt as though we had the entire resort to ourselves! The hike to the waterfalls was very cool! We took the difficult route - I’d rec the easier route. The goats were cute! The pools and hot tubs were so gorgeous with amazing views! We didn’t want to leave. 10/10 all the way. BRing bug spray and good hiking shoes.

Just had the most amazing “Welcome to Paradise” couples spa by Irene and Maria Jesus while staying at the hotel. Highly recommended them. Tip, you don’t need to be staying in the hotel to get a massage/spa. The complimentary breakfast has typical Tico food which was really good, and a variety of other items including delicious homemade breads. Other meals were equally good. Especially delicious guacamole which comes with several items. At all meals had excellent service. Recommend eating at the restaurant and enjoying the view. The front staff was always helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed the high ceiling which created a nice atmosphere. The balcony was quite private and offered nice views of the valley. The grounds of the facility were well kept. Lots of nice little walks. Also there are longer hikes to water falls. Highly recommend 5 and 4. Overall had a nice stay and want to come back.
