Resort was beautiful and the staff was fantastic. Everyone from Chef Alex/General Manager Alex to Oval our trusted waiter was smiling, gracious and extremely helpful. Our trip wouldn't have been the same without any of their welcoming faces, especially Pena! We stayed in the 3 bedroom villa with 2 other couples. Very nice, comfortable and clean. House keeping staff was... More

No one in the party wanted to leave, two of us thought about asking for jobs. We were met by Eric, "The Driver", at the small airport and were brought to the grocery. After provisions were secured, up the mountain we went. I have a terrific fear of heights, yet he made the ascent very calming. The 6 of us... More

Rancho Pacifico is heaven. It's high up a coastal mountain on a perch overlooking undeveloped rainforest jungle canyon and hillside. Here's some of my thoughts about what makes it unique: 1. The staff is amazing. When we left, we really missed them. They are so friendly and unpretentious. They are also fun and really enjoy the company of their guests.... More

We could not have been happier with our 4 nights at Rancho Pacifico! We were in a spa suite & found it to be perfect for the two of us. We where even offered an upgrade to a tree-house & kindly declined because we loved where we were so much! Like previously mentioned the food & drinks are AMAZING. We... More

The Good: Great secluded rain forest getaway for a perfect honeymoon! Every meal was phenomenal, and the chef takes great care to accommodate your every request. Majestic views of the forest and the ocean below with tons of wildlife at your doorstep. The extensive list of available activities were all easily coordinated through the hotel, and they were able to... More

One of the best and most relaxing vacation I've ever had! Rancho pacifico is tucked in a hill top forest. Unbelievable service from the chef all the way to masseuse, and housekeeping. You won't find any tv or radio in this place- it's a total escape from the busy world. What makes this place so incredible is its location being... More

Rancho Pacifico was a small Garden of Eden for us! Words can not express the incredible hospitality we encountered. Everyone there treated us as though we were family. The accommodations are both elegant and rustic. Beautiful individual private cottages over looking the gorgeous rainforest. In the distance you can look out at the Pacific coastline and the Whales Tail beach... More

If your in the market for a stunningly beautiful, secluded, romantic, delicious and sensual get away, Rancho Pacifico is it. Staff went out of their way to accomodate. Food was tremendous. I couldn't get enough of the ceviche, the fresh fruit and the costa rican fare. Their pineapple, basil martini is excellent. We stayed 6 nights and enjoyed every minute... More

Rancho Pacifico is a very special place for couples to get away from it all and relax and just enjoy. The staff is the best I have had in visits to over 80 countries, they give you the option of doing activities or just leave you alone if that is what you want. The spa is beautiful and services 5*.... More

This place is terrible, dirty, rude service, definitely NOT 5-star accommodations. We arrived a few hours early and were greeted by Chef/Manager Alex quite awkwardly and unwelcome. Food is not great. As previous reviewer stated, staff is extremely creepy and unprofessional. We stayed in January - 4 nights here after staying 4 nights in stunning Chirripo park area. We left... More
