About Xandari Resort & Spa

Xandari Resort & Spa is built around villas rather than a conventional hotel block. Every room type has a private entrance, a terrace and a seating area. Views run from mountains to gardens, and from panoramic outlooks to the city. Guests rate the resort 9.4 across 557 reviews.

Days here are easy to fill without leaving the grounds. Start with a walk in the garden or a hike, then settle by the outdoor pool or the infinity pool, where sun loungers and a sun terrace are close at hand. A hot tub is there for unwinding afterwards. The spa and wellness center offers massage, beauty services, manicures and pedicures. Yoga and fitness classes are also available, so a morning stretch can be part of the routine.

Meals are covered on site. The restaurant and bar are on site, along with a coffee shop, and room service and breakfast in the room are available as well. Special diet menus can be arranged on request. For days away, the tour desk and concierge service can help plan visits to places such as coffee plantations, orchid gardens and Poas Volcano.

Practical touches make the stay straightforward. Free WiFi and free parking are included, a 24-hour front desk is staffed around the clock, and laundry, ironing and luggage storage are available. Airport pick-up and drop-off can be arranged. Contactless check-in and check-out, 24-hour security and CCTV in common areas add reassurance. Larger groups and families can choose from villas sleeping up to six, and the property offers family rooms and facilities for disabled guests.
