We would go here again! We had a super relaxing time! The Finca is rustic, but so peaceful and we thoroughly enjoyed hanging out on the front porch enjoying the magnificent views and local breakfasts in the morning

This is an exceptionally beautiful and tranquil property so close to the city and airport. Rooms are huge and have both an indoor and outdoor shower, the latter being a real treat for those aren't lucky enough to have one at home. The owner lives on site and is very attentive to guests and the staff are super nice and very efficient. I loved that the owner was willing to let me park my truck here for a few days at a very reasonable fee. This is an option that greatly facilitates travel for those flying to and from SJO. I could be confident my vehicle was completely safe and could easily grab an uber back and forth to the airport (or anywhere in the city for that matter).

What a delightful stay. The whole property is lush and beautiful and huge- an amazing retreat so close to the airport after a long flight. The bed was comfy, the staff were accommodating, the pool was great. I’ll definitely be coming again next time I’m passing through San Jose. A tranquil gem, just what I needed. Thank you!

The hotel is amazing. I love the views from the room, the warm pool and the walks thew the trails to the hotel waterfall. The breakfast is very natural, there is a buffet and u can also order local dishes. I stay in Xandari every time i go to Costa Rica. The massage service in the Spa is very healing.

We liked it a lot because it was close to the places we wanted to visit, and also the hotel was very nice! The only thing that wasn't good was the pool, it was very cold.
