Reviews and Ratings

Reviews from guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Xandari Resort & Spa is frequently chosen for its proximity to SJO airport and stunning views over San Jose, making it a convenient and scenic choice. Guests consistently praise the spacious and private villas, often highlighting the beautifully landscaped grounds featuring multiple waterfalls and trails. The on-site spa, complete with hot tub and massage services overlooking the jungle, is a particularly memorable experience for many; some guests, however, have noted that airplane noise can be noticeable. The villas also have large decks to enjoy the magnificent sunsets.

satisfactory stay with minor drawbacks

lush landscaping multiple waterfalls dingy room awful bedding
The artwork inside our ultra villa king bed room was beautiful. i loved the lush landscaping all throughout the hotel. It included multiple waterfalls. this made it a destination on its own.
The hotel has some nice features. The grounds are fine. unfortunately, our room was pretty dingy with really awful bedding. it felt 20 years old and looked it too.
