Xandari Resort And Spa

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.

I'm hoping the manager of Xandari sees this and responds as I'd welcome a direct email to understand and hopefully resolve. A warning to be very careful when booking and double check you're charged the correct rate. I had an issue which was at best an error on the hotel's side (rather than deliberately misleading/unethical trading) which meant I couldn't cancel, despite asking twice in writing for a flexible rate. There doesn't seem to be a direct contact for management and reservations metaphorically shrugged their shoulders. My bank is pursuing but given my request was in writing and clearly an error with the hotel's admin, an unnecessarily stressful end to a stay. Hotel is OK - very dated and musty but that may be the area/costa rica as a whole - and seemed very pricey for quality. Staff on front desk and restaurant good, as was the breakfast.

Absolutely amazing spa. I had an amazing experience. I highly recommend the therapist, Irene. She was extremely professional. Irene does an amazing deep tissue massage, probably the best I have ever had. The herbal jacuzzi experience is also wonderful. Cannot recommend enough. Beautiful spa, relaxing atmosphere.

Massage therapists Irene and Jennifer were absolutely amazing! Highly recommend a session while you are there. Irene gives a great deep tissue massage. Peaceful in a somewhat enclosed cabana with the sound of rain on the roof. Resort itself is nice although bathrooms could use some updating and there could be more if a breakfast selection. Only one choice so repetitive if staying more than a night. Beautiful grounds with trails to waterfalls.

We stayed two nights at this stunning location after flying over 24 hours to Costa Rica. What a place to relax and adjust to the new time zone. The rooms are amazing the views in the morning were just stunning from our balcony. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the local coffee also great. we chilled in the hotel and we also went to do a local tour to one of the volcanoes. It was a fantastic experience. The sunset pool with hot tub was also a great way to chill at the end of the day. The staff were super friendly, really helpful. We would love to come back again. This is a unique place- Thankyou!
