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. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the focus on family-friendly activities makes it perfect for kids. Although there is some noise from planes overhead, it generally didn't disrupt our experience. The dining options were delicious, especially breakfast, but the lack of air conditioning might not be suitable for everyone, especially during warmer months.

We had an amazing time at Xandari Resort & Spa! From the moment we arrived, the beautiful surroundings and delightful atmosphere made for a perfect stay. The spacious room was incredibly comfortable, and the views from the terrace were breathtaking.
