You can tell this place was designed for relaxation and pampering. The owner, manager, and staff did an amazing job of taking care of everyone. This location is 100/10. I attended a retreat here and it was nothing short of amazing. The massage I had was hands down the best I’ve ever had.

We loved it. The staff was so attentive and every staff member we interacted with knew our names. The food and ambience and style was fabulous. The owner was often attending to the needs of the residents and was so nice to chat with and made sure everything went swimmingly on all fronts. Our suite, (Tamandua) was just fabulous with beautiful views and so well appointed and spacious. Totally recommend staying there. We shall be back!

My husband and I just left Rancho Pacifico and already I want to go back. It’s a small peaceful resort in the hills of Uvita (a bit rocky to get there but well worth it). The grounds and views from that high up are just gorgeous and falling asleep to the sounds of the wildlife is unforgettable. The food was some of the best I’ve had in my travels, so fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The cocktails are made with premium ingredients and fresh juices (no overly processed sugary drinks here). With the resort being so small it was lovely to sit at the bar during happy hour and talk to the others guests and staff. What to say about the staff….other than we are now family. From the concierge to the spa staff and everyone in between, they go out of their way to make your stay memorable. We laughed and we even cried while sharing stories of our lives and loves. Jason, Andrey and Teresa especially made our stay the absolute best and I will miss them when I get back home. I highly recommend getting the adventure package and letting the staff curate everything for you. They take care of every detail and leave nothing for you to worry about. Thank you Rancho for making us feel at home and we can’t wait to come back.

My husband and I stayed at RP for our anniversary and it was a 10/10! From the start they were so helpful with the booking process, the owner actually answered our request almost immediately via email. A phone call helped solidify booking as we booked a little late, but they were so accommodating and helped coordinate our trip based on our desired dates by booking us in one of the treehouses for 2 nights, a suite for 2 nights and then one night stay in their sister hotel. They also coordinated transportation to and from the hotel and I would HIGHLY recommend this. It made things so smooth and effortless. We flew into SJO and were a little hesitant about the distance to RP, but it was beyond worth it. Once we arrived the service was exceptional. The food was top notch. The rooms/treehouses were even bigger/more amazing than the pictures. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, we can’t recommend RP enough!!

We stayed at this amazing resort for our one-year anniversary and honeymoon, and it exceeded all expectations. Five nights and four days simply weren’t enough! Everything was exceptional—the breathtaking views, the unique treehouse experience, the relaxing pool area, the outstanding service, and the unforgettable excursions. The freshly made cocktails and chef’s creations for dinner were a highlight, and the photos truly don’t do this place justice. Special thanks to Jason, Vianney, Andrey, Sharon, and Henry for making our stay even more memorable. Can’t wait to return!

We stayed 4 nights in the Villa Romantica at Rancho Pacifico in January 2025. My husband planned this trip to celebrate my birthday and it was AMAZING. I won’t reveal how special they made my birthday. Some things should be a surprise. There is an old saying “No pain, No gain” and that would adequately describe the drive to RP. Just be prepared for a 4 ½ hour drive before you get to “Paradise”. The anticipation continued to mount as we got closer to our destination. NOTE: We highly recommend that you have RP reserve a drive service for you. DO NOT RENT A CAR. TRUST ME. Once we arrived at RP, all our worries just slipped away. We were met by Noelli and her staff who whisked away our luggage and escorted us to the bar before being shown to our table for dining that had been reserved for us, with an incredible bird’s eye view of the city far below. Noelli’s keen eye to customer service sensed that food and drink was a priority, and we could tend to the “orientation” the next day. Just as I wasn’t fully prepared for the long drive, I wasn’t prepared for the INCREDIBLE food being presented to us the first night. Each day thereafter, we were amazed at the chef’s creations and artful presentations of each delicacy. For example, one of the two starters was a flash fried avocado coated with pistachio flour and a delectable sauce with frisee and chopped pistachios on top. Now a few words about our Villa. Secluded, private pool, large wrap around deck with incredible views and luxurious bedding for the best night sleep ever. Hiking trails were rated moderate to difficult and we found this to be true. The spa was wonderful-we had 90-minute massages including facials. We were looking for a relaxing, do nothing, vacation so I can’t comment on all the extracurricular adventures, but other guests commented on the zip lining and ATV tours and were happy with them. RP will drive you into town, so a car is not needed. The staff was incredible: Noelli, Theresa and Sharon were great at the concierge desk. Jason, Andrey, and Vianney were wonderful in the restaurant and bar. Jonathan was an extraordinary chef. Natalia took great care in housekeeping. I highly recommend RP for a romantic getaway.

We’ve been going to Rancho Pacifico since it first opened nearly 20 years ago. It’s always been head and shoulders, in our minds, above anywhere else we’ve stayed in Costa Rica. The new owners, however, seem to have taken it to another level in terms of amenities, service, and style. We can’t wait to go back!
