In a nutshell, the Xandari was excellent. We loved the property and the room. The only downside was an uncomfortable mattress. Pros: - The grounds are really fantastic. We had a great time walking the property, looking at all the plants, and seeing the waterfalls. The outside design of the hotel is very cool. We walked on the trails for... more

We stayed at Xandari for two nights to begin our honeymoon in Costa Rica. It was the perfect place to begin our honeymoon. The grounds of the hotel are absolutely beautiful. The view from the rooms is tremendous. The architecture and design within the rooms blends so fabulously with the surroundings, making it a very special place. I can't say... more

We were picked up at the airport by the Xandari driver William. He was one of the best people we met on the entire trip. A very nice, down to earth, surprisingly good english skills tico. Xandari was only like 20 minutes or so from SJO but once you arrive it feels like you are in a different world, which... more

Staying here was a fabulous experience. The room was big, beautiful, had an amazing view and was extremely comfortable. The grounds were also beautiful and filled with fruits and flowers. It was magical to sit in the jacuzzi and watch the sun set. The food at the restaurant was YUM, YUM and very fresh - as were the drinks. I... more

We decided to splurge a little on our first night in Costa Rica. We chose Xandari based on past reviews and were not disappointed! The hotel offers a free hotel pick up, which was great. You would not want to drive here at night! The hotel staff had contacted us by email because we were arriving late at night, to... more

Xandari was truly amazing! Went for 3 nights for my honeymoon, and was thrilled with this choice. The views of San Jose are fantastic and it is in the perfect location to use as a base to see Poas volcano, coffee plantations and San Jose. The room was very large, with king size bed, sitting dining area, large shower room... more

We stayed at Xandari on our final afternoon/night before heading to the airport the next day for a series of long flights home. The grounds are beautiful, though a bit treacherous to get around at night if your room is far from the restaurant. My teens and I had a nice hike the next morning to the various falls, and... more

We spent two nights at Xandari Resort & Spa. Aside from a bit of a rocky start (after checking in, we were told our bags would be delivered to our room, but they were just left on a trolley outside the reception area and we eventually had to retrieve them ourselves), we found the hotel, the property and the people... more

It is nearly a year since we visited and I still read the reviews and remember our wonderful stay there. As many guests have said it is a perfect arrival/departure hotel as the courtesy collection is a great bonus. It also also easy to visit nearby attractions such as Paos. You need to get there early to get a clear... more
