Rancho Pacifico

What an unbelievable experience. It was our first time to the Pacific side of Costa Rica and this was by far the best experience we could have hoped for. Do yourselves a favor and book a flight from San Jose to Quepos as the van ride is extremely long. It’s only on average $100 for a 15 minute flight which is worth every penny. Viennay, Henry, and Jason are the best hosts in the world. World class service. Juan Pablo in the kitchen is a master at his craft. The food might have been the most amazing part of the entire trip. We had the most amazing experience and look forward to coming back in the future.

Every part of our stay at RP was perfection. We spent two nights in the Whale's Tail Villa and four nights in the Tamandua Tree House. Both were a bit of a hike from the pool area, but the seclusion is part of what makes RP so special. There was one small hiccup with our room, but staff went above and beyond to take care of the issue quickly and checked in the next day to make sure all was well. I can't say enough about the staff- everyone was friendly, kind, and helpful. Vinnay made sure we had delicious drinks, Jason and Andres were wonderful at every meal and we looked forward to seeing them at dinner each night. Speaking of dinner... every meal was outstanding. When we had early excursions, they took breakfast orders the night before and made sure we had what we needed for the day. If we were returning late for lunch, they communicated with our drivers to take our lunch orders so we would have food ready upon our return. Henry and Adrian were incredibly helpful with arranging our excursions and daily transportation for the beach and anywhere else we needed to go. They checked in with us each day to ensure where had everything we needed and always had a ride waiting for us. Next time, we will skip the drive to/from SJO and take the local flight option to save time, but Bernie was great and we felt safe with every driver/ride we had. With so many places to explore in this world, we rarely stay at the same place twice, but RP is a special gem and we will surely be back. Thank you to all the RP staff for making our stay so beautiful. Pura Vida!

Traveled as a family with adult children. We booked an all-inclusive adventure package for a week’s stay. This was easily the most stress-free trip I’ve ever taken, all due to the amazing staff at RP. From the moment we stepped out of the airport they took care of absolutely everything: transportation, excursions, meals, baggage handling, housekeeping. They not only handled it all, they anticipated our every need. I’ve never encountered a finer group of resort staff! (Special mention to Jason, who made us feel at home immediately and went above and beyond all week!) We stayed in the Whale Tail villa plus two of the Treehouse units. All were outstanding accommodations with phenomenal views, beautifully updated, spacious with private outdoor areas included (porches, patios). Each place felt like your personal home in the rain forest - you couldn’t see any other rooms from your place, giving a very private feeling. Meals were great - incredibly fresh, delicious food; a nice variety to choose from for breakfast and lunch and a chef-curated four course dinner with a couple of main course options each evening. With a maximum guest capacity of only about 20 people the resort offers a relaxed, uncrowded environment with a pool area and lounge space where we could gather as a family, For those considering a stay, remember that you will be in the rain-forest/jungle. Expect some rain and humid conditions. But also the abundant wildlife that goes with that environment- we saw many birds right from our porch! We loved every minute of our stay. Thank you to the incredible RP staff!

I am fortunate enough to have traveled to a lot of beautiful places in the world. Rancho Pacifico surpassed every expectation I had and tops them all. I desperately needed a break from my current stress, and I couldn't have chosen a more serene place to regroup. The treehouse was immaculate, the views were stunning, the amount of wildlife we saw was amazing, and the food - just wow. ||But what made this place truly special? The staff, hands down. From spending happy hour chatting with Vianney, to Andrey and Jason's superb service and attentiveness during meals, to Henry and Alan's assistance with planning and answering any questions we had, and sweet Adrian teaching us Spanish, helping with our every whim and making us feel so unbelievably welcome. Not once did we feel like anything we asked for was a burden. It's rare to find a place that feels both luxurious and homey/comfortable at the same time. I was so overwhelmed on our final morning that I couldn't speak without getting choked up because I couldn't imagine leaving this place. So much so that we're already planning our return trip (and I never go anywhere twice!) A sincere thank you to all the staff who made this trip so amazing. ||Seriously, stop researching, reading endless reviews, and second-guessing yourself and just book here. You truly can't ask for anything more.

These guys have set the new standards for me of impeccable service. My wife and I just got back from 3 nights there for my birthday (overall spent 2.5 weeks in Costa Rica) and this was the best we had been treated. The service never felt overbearing but always present and extremely thoughtful. They even bought me a pura vida ball cap for my birthday! This is my new “Disney standard” for resort service, thank you Rancho Pacífico team!

From the moment we arrived, our time at RP was absolutely five star. The food was outstanding (favorites were hummus toast and avocado toast for breakfast, tuna ceviche and Casado for lunch). The staff paid attention to each and every detail. Our stay at the secluded Treehouse Tamandua was exactly what we needed. If you want total privacy, I can’t recommend this option enough. ||We booked waterfall rapelling and zip lining through RP and both companies were wonderful. ||If you opt to drive, you will definitely want to rent a 4x4, as recommended by RP. The roads are steep and slippery when it rains. ||I truly hope to visit again.

Rancho Pacifico is by far one of the most incredible resorts we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. From the pre-check-in experience to every detail during your stay, the staff at RP has you covered. We felt as though we had the entire place to ourselves most days. The food, it was amazing. I am missing the daily fresh juice and coffee. Our time spent there will be a memory we never forget, I was already trying to figure out when we can return.

Outstanding! A true 5 star experience. Some of the most incredible views you can ever see. We stayed at two rooms and both were uniquely beautiful. I think our favorite was the toucan treehouse. A wonderful teak wood design with a view that makes you feel like you are a part of the rainforest. The chef meals were also wonderfully made with care. Every meal was superb. The breakfast quinoa waffles were amazing, which I ended up eating every day. They even made cake for my wife's birthday. The fitness room has what you need including bands and a yoga mat. The yoga area is in the rainforest and cool. We also did stretches on the toucan deck area and the view can't be beat. Loved swimming while the fog rolled in and out. The staff was helpful and on top of everything from the moment we arrived. Rooms were cleaned while we ate breakfast or were out and about. What can I say other than this deserves 5 stars and is a perfect place to stay for a special visit. Worth the cost!
