This is the second time that I have stayed at Xandari. This resort is absolutely incredible. From the staff to the grounds to the amenities. It will always now be a stop I make either on my way in or out of San Jose. The food is amazing. The staff is so kind and helpful. The whole place is just absolutely stunning. And let’s talk about that view. I didn’t have a chance this time to do the waterfall trail that I did last time and they are amazing as well. Don’t even consider it- just book it!!!

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.

An amazing property to stay at if you have a quick 24-36 hour layover in Costa Rica. The staff is polite and attentive, the rooms are incredibly designed to provide a cultural feel with eco sensitivities, and the best part is that the property has about 2-3 hours of hiking available on the grounds Will come back next time I'm flying through SJO

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.

Location wasn’t great, very limited restaurant options in the area. The hotel is very dated and linens/curtains in the room were old and dirty. Staff wasn’t very friendly and when asked about the hot tub availability they mentioned to us that the only open one was in the spa at an additional fee but we were told initially they had other hot tubs available at no additional cost. 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. All the trails were closed because of the rain but they don’t seem to provide maintenance to some of them.
