Immerse yourself in lush tropical beauty, surrounded by 40 acres of vibrant landscape high above Costa Rica's Central Valley, and soak in the sunny skies of Xandari Resort & Spa. Just outside of San Jose, this amazing resort - with approximately three miles of scenic trails, a river and waterfalls - will show you the true wonder of Central America. Stunning guest villas offer flowing architecture that winds through the gardens and creates a modern-meets-tropical design that is at once elegantly stunning and gracefully tranquil. Bright and open rooms are spacious and breezy, with gleaming tiled floors, pure white walls, and vivid colorful accents - all tied in to the rich wood décor and furniture. Brilliant natural light streams in through large sliding glass doors, while the views from private garden terraces will truly take your breath away.

Beautiful spa with magnificent views, inside the Xandari resort. Exceptional deep tissue massage by Irene, who really knows what she is doing. My painful shoulder feels like new! Very pleasant products using Costa Rican plants. Highly recommend.

Good place to relax on arrival in Costa Rica. Nice walks (although couldn’t get to waterfall because of landslip). Comfy room, good food and excellent spa on(thank you Irene and Deumi). Occasional noise from aircraft but not to frequent to be a real nuisance.

Amazing spa and resort! Gorgeous location, delicious restaurant and relaxing spa. The staff are the friendliest and the amenities are incredible. Carla at reception made us feel so welcome. Mario at dinner was very knowledgable about wine and we had a blast learning from him. Irene and Jennifer provided amazing bamboo massages and full body mud mask treatments. My sister and I had the best time at Xandari for our first time in Costa Rica.

Stayed here for one night - close to SJO airport and a very comfortable and beautiful property. Highly recommend the spa services - had an organic facial with Deymi and it was absolutely worth it! Added a jacuzzi soak. The products are local and organic and I am thrilled with the experience!

Went in my layover day. Spent the night and booked a massage treatment. Ended up doing two as my masseuse, Irene, was fantastic. Would very much recommend the resort for just her. Was quite rainy the whole stay but staff were very helpful. Food was also great but nothing worth screaming about. Close to the airport so quick transfer.

We love Xandari. You have the perfect combination of elegance and comfort, without the pretension and over solicitousness of other comparable hotels.

We have never been to a place where the imprint of human creativity is so well balanced with the beauty of nature.

My experience at Xandari has been more than value...it's about personal warmth and touch. Gentility is a rare treasure in the service industry. Costa Rica offers this on many levels and Xandari exceeds it.

“Travel Dates: March 24-28, 2013 Room: Villa 3 We are from the States. We chose Xandari based upon ratings from the trip advisor website, its proximity to the San Jose airport and its centrally located position (w/r/t to the country as a whole). We chose to rent a vehicle (easy to drive in Costa Rica as long as u have a 4x4 vehicle and a GPS)- would recommend limited night time driving. Xandari was an oasis set on the hillside with beautiful views of San Jose. The first night we arrived, we were greeted by the bellman and hotel desk staff. We were quickly whisked away to our room. We had an Ultra villa, which was more than enough room for me and my wife. The room had a small collection of ants near the screen door (my wife is terrified of bugs so this was more of an issue for her). The staff was extremely apologetic and quickly made arrangements to transfer us to another room. They did so within 15 minutes and we failed to have another complaint. Service at the restaurant was great, especially given the laissez-faire attitudes of most Costa-Ricans. The grounds were well maintained. The staff was extremely attentive and responsive to any request. The rooms were cleaned well by the maids. The bed, at least in my unit, was comfortable. Things to note: No air-condition, but they do have fans upon request (it gets quite cool at night, so this wasn't a significant issue for us). No TVs in the room, but they do have one in the main house (more of an issue if u like to keep up on your sports,etc while on vacation). Mild-moderate amount of insects outside of your rooms, but keep in mind the resort is set in a hill side jungle, replete with water falls, etc so this should be expected”
