About Xandari Resort & Spa

Xandari Resort & Spa consists of 18 spacious villas on a 40 acre coffee and fruit plantation overlooking Costa Rica's Central Valley. The villa's private terraces, furniture and gardens are designed with great attention to detail, and each villa is adorned with original works of art.

All villas have a private terrace, a walled-in sun area, a bar, kitchen, and either a king sized bed or two full beds. Over 3-kilometres of scenic trails lead through coffee and fruit orchards and into a lush natural tropical setting with a year-round river and five beautiful waterfalls.

Fruits, vegetables and herbs from the plantation's gardens complement Xandari's health-conscious specialty dishes. Add to this the warm personal attention of a dedicated staff. . . and it's simply paradise.

we stayed here during our first night and then our last night while traveling throughout Costa Rica. the hotel is close to the airport, although you would never know it. feels like you are far in the jungle. the rooms are large and beautifully decorated with terraces . the property and landscaping is amazing, especially the sunset pool. I had a massage, and it was excellent in a beautiful facility. We loved our dinners and breakfast at the hotel, and most of all we loved the kindness and helpfulness of the staff, especially the rooms manager. Hope to be back soon!

From the moment we arrived, this hotel felt like paradise. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and so well maintained, the views were breathtaking, and every meal we had was delicious. The staff made the entire experience even better with their kindness and hospitality. Waking up each morning to such an amazing view was something we’ll never forget. We truly loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to come back!

The hotel was nice enough and we enjoyed walking the trails to the waterfall. However, I would NOT recommend this hotel, particularly the Villa Prima Mountain View suite. We were kept awake by multiple dogs barking nearby for several hours and spoke to the front desk about the problem twice before being given a different room to sleep in. There were no fans available in the room for white noise and despite the windows being closed, we could hear sounds from outside very loudly. This was a big disruption to our stay as we were just there for one night before our flight out of San Jose. Staff were apologetic but not proactive.

We were also charged $72 for three margaritas at dinner, $10/drink for the margarita mix plus $14/drink for Don Julio tequila.

This is such a special place! Great staff, amazing location, superb architecture.
They are tidying up the rooms and they look great. Same classic style and colors. The waterfall paths are in great shape again. Nothing like it in San Jose...

The only thing they need is better power near the beds. Travellers have a lot of electrical devices these days....

Excellent boutique resort with intentional service. They helped to make the experience just what I needed even reserving all the transportation and excursions. I was a guest for several days, enjoyed exceptional spa treatments, dinner, hiking the grounds, beautiful views, and complimentary events when not out exploring Costa Rica. Staff amazing! Carla goes above and beyond to communicate and help guests be welcomed. Perfect place to stay.

We were unfortunately only there for one night but the property and the staff were delightful and even brought us boxed breakfasts at 3 AM before an early flight out.

The property is remarkable with several pools, trails, and views. Worth the price of admission for that alone, but the staff knows what they are doing.

It’s a nice place to start or end your trip. Easy to get to the airport. The property has nice trails you can walk and a swimming pool with views of the valley. A few areas for improvement: the rooms are looking a bit dated, we had dirty/stained towel and pillows which was quite off-putting. The rooms are noisy as there is no air conditioning so instead the room has windows for air flow. This works fine for cooling but it does mean you can hear the planes very loudly.

We arrived the hotel at night thru a dark winding road only to realize the hotel had no power. The rooms are pitch black. We had to use our phones to . The water ran cold soon after my wife took a shower. Also we booked a king room and was given a two queens. The hotel offered no explanation. The rooms have no ac and are noisy during windy weather and the location is right under the flight path of San Jose air traffic. It’s very loud when the jets pass by. This is the worst hotel we stayed during our trip.

We enjoyed our stay at Xandari Resort. The grounds are beautiful, with some hiking trails to a small waterfall. A nice view from the restaurant and from our hotel room.
The hotel room was very spacious, with a sitting area in front of glass doors showcasing the view outside. The bed and pillows were comfortable.
We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at their restaurant. The service was excellent. The breakfast and dinner were amazing. We did not enjoy the dish we chose for lunch; it compared poorly to the same dish we had in other parts of La Fortuna.
The resort has a unique design, but it is in need of some updates. Even little things like trash cans that work when you press the pedal would be great; we had to actually touch the trash cans to open them.
All the staff was friendly and attentive.

I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage and Irene was fricking awesome. I also loved the massage room. It was open to the rainforest with a city view. Also our room was fabulous!

Beautiful place with great views. There is no tv and when I was there the internet was out in the rooms. I would have stayed 2 more nights if it worked. Indoor outdoor shower is amazing too. Great place for solitude. Another downside was that the linens smelled moldy. I would go back though if I called about the internet. Food and service was also good

A great remote, quiet and serene facility with beautiful views. The facility has five beautiful waterfalls within the property that are nice to visit. The unit was nicely furnished, and had a unique colors and furnishings. The drawback was that it was a little far from any walkable restaurant or other facilities, no television inside the rooms, no air conditioning just the fan, and the water pressure in the bathroom was horrible. Barely a little dribble of water would come out of the showerhead. It was brought to the attention of the hotel staff, but they stated that that is as good as he got. I might consider staying at this facility again if I cannot find something better in the area.

Our stay at Xandari Resort was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We missed our flight and arrived a day late, but they were extremely accommodating and helped us reschedule without any hassle — a huge relief after a stressful travel day.

The food at the resort was amazing — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. One of the standout experiences was discovering that they brew their own IPA, which was such a unique and memorable touch.

The views from both our room and the dining area were breathtaking — lush greenery and sweeping landscapes that made every moment feel serene and special. Honestly, the pictures on Expedia don’t do it justice. The real experience far exceeds what you see online. They should definitely update them!

Highly recommend Xandari to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with exceptional service, food, and scenery.

As soon as we arrived to the airport, our transportation to Xandari was there with a sign and my name, the driver spoke Spanish and English & helped us ease in to speaking more Spanish with him in a very helpful way.

Upon arriving we were waiting for our room, so we had breakfast, Delicious!! And too many options to have them all in one day, glad we had breakfast there 2 mornings. Then we were accommodated by our room being offered to us early, since it was available.
We had a hot tub & massage session that morning that was exactly what our travel worn bodies wanted! So greatful. We were offered to plant.a young tree for us to visit in future years- what a great experience and way to help us connect to the ecology of Costa Rica!

The staff were very helpful & friendly. I cannot wait to return to see our tree, relax & enjoy Costa Rica again.

Pricey resort - not really worth the expense

We stayed in Villa 20 next to Pool 2. The villa was nice but Pool 2 was not open (completely drained). There was no air conditioning so we opened our windows only to hear dogs barking constantly, including all night long. It made it hard to sleep. Dinner was expensive and there wasn’t a varied drink menu. Our waiter was not very friendly. The sunset pool was nice but there was a family with 5 kids that were loud and were also loud at dinner too. The highlights were the beautiful trails, farm to table animals, beautiful landscaping, and the best complimentary breakfast. Other than that a little disappointed for price.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay. I truly loved the view from my villa. I appreciated the trails, eclectic atmosphere and art work. Sherri, Karla and other staff in reception were gracious and accommodating. My driver's, Luis and Flavio were the best!! Joseline at the spa was absolutely amazing!🤗

Hacienda Doka and La Paz Waterfall Garden are must see adventures and knowledge gathering experiences.

The only disappointments were the consistent overhead noise of airplanes due to being so close to San Jose airport, the cost of transportation for the excursions were not adequately explained and that they, Xandari were unwilling to refund me a nights stay because I checked out earlier than my Expedia booking. The economy is tight and losing over three hundred dollars despite spending close to a thousand at the resort alone not including the cost of the trip in it's entirety was extremely unfair, non-customer friendly, and very unscrupulous. 😕

I will return to CR but never again at Xandari! And I will never book trips through Expedia. 😡

Pura vida y gracias por Todo.

When asked about additional umbrellas we were told they didn’t have any extra ones. Staff at the restaurant were also unfriendly and the buffet was mediocre.
