Xandari is a beautiful and peaceful escape. The surroundings are breathtaking, with lush gardens and stunning views. The food at the restaurant was fresh and flavorful, and the staff made me feel truly cared for. My room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and I left feeling completely refreshed.

The property is beautiful with a 3 mile hike around the outer perimeter you can see five waterfalls, but the hiking is difficult with around 700 stairs in total. But well worth it. Rooms are nice but only one fan in the living and none in the bedroom, so it was hot. Food was okay, wait staff not very friendly.

Private, no tv, sketchy internet

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.
