Rancho Pacifico

We stayed at Rancho Pacifico for 4 days to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. This was our first experience at a small boutique hotel and it exceeded our expectations! Sharon and Arbid closely communicated with us well before our trip to make sure everything was set before we arrived. The staff, especially Jason and Andrey, were so attentive. Vianney was an amazing bartender. Every single meal we had was delicious and beautifully presented. The owners, Greg and Jennie, personally introduced themselves, and made us feel so welcome. We had booked our own tours separately. We did a Corcovado day trip through Bahia Adventures that left right from Uvita, saw amazing wildlife and scenery, and also waterfall rappelling through Costa Canyon. In both cases, the staff at Rancho anticipated our needs and pre-ordered breakfast and lunch so we would still be fed despite missing their set breakfast and lunch times. This extra step was incredibly considerate and very much appreciated. The drive up the mountain is no joke. A 4x4 is a must, but the view and hospitality is so worth it once you're at the top. We would absolutely come back to Rancho and will be recommending it to our friends and family.

Rancho Pacifico exceeded all my expectations… My husband and I had a wonderful two week stay in their Villa Romantico complete with private plunge pool! The villa itself was lovely with a beautiful view of the famous whale tail beach from the deck area. The staff were extremely attentive at all times and the food was exquisitely prepared! We did several day trip excursions that Rancho Pacifico offered and all were seamless in terms of transportation, itinerary and the guides provided. The hotel is located high up on the mountain overlooking the beautiful Uvita Peninsula and is simply idyllic!

Amazing! Everything about Rancho Pacifico was outstanding. From the facilities, to the views, to the food, to the Staff and the excursions, they were all 5 star experiences. We had a wonderful stay and hope to be back soon! They were very accommodating and went out of their way to help.

My husband and I stayed at RP for our anniversary and it was a 10/10! From the start they were so helpful with the booking process, the owner actually answered our request almost immediately via email. A phone call helped solidify booking as we booked a little late, but they were so accommodating and helped coordinate our trip based on our desired dates by booking us in one of the treehouses for 2 nights, a suite for 2 nights and then one night stay in their sister hotel. They also coordinated transportation to and from the hotel and I would HIGHLY recommend this. It made things so smooth and effortless. We flew into SJO and were a little hesitant about the distance to RP, but it was beyond worth it. Once we arrived the service was exceptional. The food was top notch. The rooms/treehouses were even bigger/more amazing than the pictures. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, we can’t recommend RP enough!!

We spent a week at Rancho Pacifico and absolutely loved our experience with them. The location and views were gorgeous. The staff were very personable and knew our scheduled excursions and made sure our travel, breakfast and lunches were taken care of. Overall, the food was amazing - we have stayed at resorts where dinner was excellent but lunch and breakfast seemed like afterthoughts. This was definitely not the case at RP - it was all delicious and varied. We appreciated that the staff truly wanted to show the amazing offerings that the local area offers, from the menu to planned adventures and daily excursions down to Uvita to explore on your own. With absolutely no hesitation, we would recommend RP to anyone wanting to be pampered in Costa Rica! The only note we would give is that the trip from the San Jose airport is about 4 hours, which can be long after a day of travel. RP arranged the ground transportation for us which we appreciated. Be aware that there will be a car change in Uvita to make it up the hill to the hotel. If/When we go back, we might take the plane ride to the closer airport to shorten that last leg.
