What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Very nice Spa Experience

I booked a couples treatment at the spa, and it was simply extraordinary. The 'jalapa' package included facials and massages in a private outdoor jacuzzi, offering stunning views of the valley below. It was the perfect way to unwind after an active day of hiking. Highly recommend making time for this!

Delicious Dining Delights

Dining at the hotel was a good experience. I particularly loved the pollo con rice and beans, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The restaurant's open-air design provided amazing views while I enjoyed my meal. I can't praise the food enough!

Comfy Bedrooms

The king-size bed in my room was exceptionally comfortable, providing me with the best night's sleep during my vacation. I also appreciated the tranquil ambiance created by the absence of TVs, allowing me to fully relax and enjoy my time away from the hustle and bustle.

The hotel provided a charming escape just outside San Jose, featuring beautiful grounds and a great spot to relax before our next adventure. While our room was spacious and clean, the lack of air conditioning was a downside. The dining options were delightful with an amazing view, and the overall value for money was good. However, the long travel time from the airport due to traffic was quite frustrating.

Xandari is a beautiful hidden oasis, just moments from the airport, making it an ideal final stop before heading home.
