Color, calm, and valleywide views

Xandari’s modern-meets-tropical villas pair swooping walls and undulating wooden roofs with an easy hush at 3,900 feet, where cross-ventilation keeps the mood naturally cool. Days orbit the three-tier open-air terrace restaurant serving healthy menus from Costa Rican to Mediterranean and Californian, framed by Central Valley city lights after dark. Between meals, a salt-cleaned infinity pool sets the pace for sunset.

We were unfortunately only there for one night but the property and the staff were delightful and even brought us boxed breakfasts at 3 AM before an early flight out. The property is remarkable with several pools, trails, and views. Worth the price of admission for that alone, but the staff knows what they are doing.

Excellent boutique resort with intentional service. They helped to make the experience just what I needed even reserving all the transportation and excursions. I was a guest for several days, enjoyed exceptional spa treatments, dinner, hiking the grounds, beautiful views, and complimentary events when not out exploring Costa Rica. Staff amazing! Carla goes above and beyond to communicate and help guests be welcomed. Perfect place to stay.

We stayed here one night overnight on our airport. It was a lovely property. We enjoyed the pool and all the lush greenery. The view was awesome. We wish we would have had one full day here so we could have done the hike and been able to enjoy the property more.

8/10 Very good

It’s a nice place to start or end your trip. Easy to get to the airport. The property has nice trails you can walk and a swimming pool with views of the valley. A few areas for improvement: the rooms are looking a bit dated, we had dirty/stained towel and pillows which was quite off-putting. The rooms are noisy as there is no air conditioning so instead the room has windows for air flow. This works fine for cooling but it does mean you can hear the planes very loudly.
