Easy and pleasant for the first night of our trip

Pros: The restaurant and views and the food was really nice.

Cons: I thought it was fairly basic in the rooms and didn't give value for money with regards to the accommodation.

Pros: I am a repeat guest at Xandari. This was my fourth stay and I am pleased to say the hotel's standards remain consistently high. Some hotels disappoint upon return but Xandari has never let me down. It's gratifying to know I have a place I can rely on for a relaxing stay whenever I am in town.

Pros: Great accommodation for a family with spectacular views over San Jose. The villas are spacious and private with stunning gardens. A great place to stay near the airport when first arriving, as a base to visit San Jose or just before flying home.
