Xandari Resort And Spa

AMAZING! The moment we walked in we were greeted, we had so many questions for first time travelers to Costa Rica and they were so kind and patient. I love that you can book drivers to certain excursions.. we had a driver named Louis (I hope this was his name) and he took us last minute literally just arriving in rainy season to the falls & man most drivers would sit in the car and wait for you to come back but no he took every moment spent it with us , in the rain and all and even help us take photos and telling us about the beautiful country along the way. Room was literally spotless ! The restaurant there is so good!! I love the included breakfast soooo much more though but please if they have any strawberries dessert dishes for dinner do not skip it! What I did struggle with was the map they provide guided tours but that map was meant for a pro haha I end up going the long way to the falls but the views were unforgettable & worth it if you love a good hike! I’m sure if you want a short cut you can just ask. Lastly listen if you are someone who relies on WiFi and TV stay home or get an extended WiFi service if you work remote cause this is a place to fully disconnect and be one with nature. Also sad part I really wanted to go to the infinity pool they have but they were under construction, but there is so much beauty in the hotel that I was only alittle sad about it. PURA VIDA 🇨🇷

My children and I recently stayed at Xandari in CR and it was a great experience! There is so much to do at the resort in which you can hike their trails, enjoy their waterfalls, relax at the pool/hot tub, visit their farm animals, have a massage at their spa or simply take in the amazing views of your room of the city. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The food here was fantastic and fresh! The rooms are always clean and well maintained. They also offer excursions if you are not sure and didn't book any in advance. I would gladly recommend this place to others and return. If you enjoy exploring and getting to know the people and culture of Costa Rica, try this place! Much more than just the beach. Thank you for treating us so well.

I have mixed feelings. Xandari is gorgeous and very conveniently located to the airport. The gardening and trails are lovely and clearly very intentionally built. The grounds are well cared for and the artwork and architecture is amazing. I feel like I'm truly in the artists' vision (Sherrill and Charlene Broudy), and I can see how much care they put into building it. That being said, it is a bit loud (at least in the room we stayed in), due to the planes overhead and proximity to the street. The staff seemed a bit confused at times, at one point leading another family to check into the room we were staying in; luckily, we weren't in the shower, which is open to the courtyard when you enter the space. The restaurant had good food, but the servers had some confusion there as well about who was serving us. So I guess I'm curious if other rooms weren't as loud as the group we stayed in? And I left feeling curious about the original owners. 🤔
