After a great trip through Costa Rica, we decided to spend a day at the Xandari before leaving for New York. After a small drive from Manuel Antonio, we reached Xandari which looked like a beautiful resort. Beautiful it was but there was only 1 other couple apart from us which made it seem a bit lonely. The pool was... more

We just stayed at the Xandari by the Pacific on a 3-day trip. We currently live in Costa Rica and wanted a weekend out. Xandari had a promotion for a third night free, so we decided to do something special and stay there. We stayed at an Ultra Plus villa with a plunge pool. First I must say the hotel... more

We got a package where we split our stay between the central valley resot and the pacific. They are both beautifu we like the Pacific one the best. Beautiful beach and its hotter there which we enjoyed not that the Central Valley wasn't hot. The good is awesome and the help is top notch. They offered rides and information whenever... more

We stayed at Xandari at the same time as the reviewer who called this "Scamdari" and I cannot believe we were at the same resort (so don't listen to him--maybe he doesn't want the secret out about how great this place is). I booked based on previous reviews, which were almost 100% great, and I cannot agree more. The Villas... more

The rooms at Xandari Pacific are huge, beautiful, colorful and filled with unique architectual details and original artwork. The food is fresh, natural and healthy. We really enjoyed the pools, both for lounging and swimming. The gardens are overwhelming! We saw wild red macaws and iguanas right outside our villa. This is a perfect romantic getaway, only two and a... more

If the air conditioners at Xandari actually worked, it might qualify as a three-star hotel. But the four-stars they claim and the five-star price at this sweat farm would not be justified if the room came with its own snow machine and a lifetime supply of Freon. When my wife and I arrived at our glass-walled villa, we simultaneously broke... more

We purchased a Xandari package (Resort & Spa, then Pacific, with transportation between the two) and although the rooms suggested a relationship between the two hotels, the environments were quite different. For us, the hotel was perfect. We did not come with the intention of spending our days on the beach, which was just as well: the beach is dark... more

We just returned from the Xandari, and loved it. Our room (#1) was large and very clean, with spectacular views of the ocean. My wife is especially concerned about cleanliness, and she enjoyed our room more than I have ever seen her approve of anywhere else! The food was very reasonably priced and impressive, with a reasonable array of choices.... more

For our 5th anniversary, my wife and I couldn't have found a better experience than our stay at Xandari by the Pacific. An excellent value for an upscale, original stay, Xandari Pacific makes an ideal location for day trips through the Costa Rican coast, including Manual Antonio NP and the local ziplining canopy tours. However, you'll probably have to force... more
