Dinner every night is a culinary masterpiece. The ride up to the hotel is daunting but we rented a 4x4 and we were fine. Worth the 4 hr car ride from San Jose!! ##### Wendy Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andres Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Superb property up on the Uvita mountains. As long as you have a 4x4, getting there is a fun ride. Staff was great and the spa facilities are really nice. The only thing keeping me from returning for a whole remote work week is the internet speed. It was spotty and not reliable for a prolonged work stay. ##### Andres Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruno Sep 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What can I say… Everything was just perfect! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/146dc951-a55b-4b57-8cb0-0333ac5efe06-1757555896305.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a45158c1-d222-42bd-ad8b-6adc7f0eb733-1757555894386.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/693b2ea9-85f7-4670-a472-c6b8b644b21b-1757555886304.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/623506c6-b854-45af-b2c6-7acb5f8c67f1-1757555888580.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bruno Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Céliana Dec 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Un séjour très agréable.

Mark and Marlo were super host and their hospitality sets the pace for everyone else on site; everyone was very friendly and make their guests feel welcome. Breakfasts, which are included, were a highlight as were our dinners which were excellent and reasonable, at a fixed price. Of the three boutique hotels we stayed at, Ranch Pacifico was the most expensive, but like the saying goes, you get what you pay for and I’m my opinion, there was an abundance of value at this very special resort. We’ll be back! ##### Glenn Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### robert Oct 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful all the way around ##### robert Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Jun 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What a View! Had an amazing honeymoon stay at Rancho Pacifico. The property offers an absolutely incredible view overlooking the Pacific and feels very private with hiking trails and even a waterfall which is worth the trek. The service is spectacular (I think guests may have outnumbered the staff when we were there) and helped us plan a few of our activities (gave us an umbrella, chairs, and cooler for a beach day). I would definitely advise renting a 4x4 if you plan on driving to the property since the hill to get there is pretty steep and I'm not sure we would have made it up if we didn't have it. ##### Richard Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Mar 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing stay. This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at and we travel a lot. Mark and Marlo are the owners and they are onsite every day to ensure that you have an amazing stay. The rooms are awesome, food is phenomenal and the views are to die for.

The hand selected staff are personable, talented and made our stay special. We loved that Rancho Pacifico is quiet, private, and permitted us to experience living in a two-story home located in the middle of the jungle with our own pool, patio and no else around. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gia Aug 13, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Luxurious & Private Such a tranquil & magnificent place! I stayed here with my best friend for a girl's getaway to relax. The Rancho Pacifico did not disappoint! We had some trouble getting up the mountain with our vehicle (Make sure you have a 4X4 that can handle steep rocky roads). However, the manager Alex & the staff came to our rescue! They were so wonderful and accommodating after a stressful arrival. They really made us feel comfortable and right at home. The entire staff is lovely & we really enjoyed our time there! Thanks to the owners & the wonderful staff for making our relaxing vacation a dream! Pictures do not do justice for this place! Completely luxurious & private- I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet place to get away in Costa Rica. I will definitely be back <3 ##### Gia Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sagit Jun 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was our first trip to Costa Rica and coming from NYC we were looking for some solitude, adventure, and authenticity. Rancho Pacifico was all that and more. They truly exceeded our expectations. Set high up on a mountain in the middle of a rainforest with spectacular views of the jungle and Pacific. I could sit and look for hours, listening to the birds singing. Accommodations were open yet private, comfortable, clean and eco friendly. The gracious owners Marlo & Mark, who were there during our visit, have created a classy, modern yet comfortable and relaxing ambience that allows guests to experience the true beauty of the place. The staff; Salome, Hannah, Andrey, Alex and Vianney, were attentive, helpful and consistently went out of their way to ensure that we were taken care of. Thank you all for a wonderful time.

We found Rancho Pacifico... WOW is all I can say. The drive up is abit scary the first time but once at the top you are greeted by warm welcoming staff or maybe the new owners Mark& Marlo! We stayed in a treehouse of sorts with spectacular views of the whales tale , sunsets and jungle, we ate every breakfast and supper at the hotel because the food was so yummy the menu changes every night and they really watch for any allergies (I have some weird food ones) it was such a relaxing and adventurous stay we will definitely be back ##### catherine Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveler Feb 12, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### nice hotel but the driveway is really bad beautiful location high in the forest with gorgeous views. unfortunately, the unpaved driveway is ca. 2 miles long and very! steep. also quite pricey. ##### Verified traveler Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveler Jul 10, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing and stunning. Couldn't say enough about this breathtaking place. The staff went above and beyond. They even located a sloth up in the trees the last day I was there, knowing I desperately wanted to see one. The food was generous, healthy and yummy. I will definitely recommend and be going back. ##### Verified traveler Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveler May 23, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Restaurant caro ##### Verified traveler Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nati Apr 26, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### BEST TIME EVER AT RANCHO PACIFICO My boyfriend and I just got back from the most romantic long weekend at RP imaginable. Friends in San Jose have been recommending it for years - and now we know why. The food, ambiance and service are second to none - certainly in CR. The staff is super friendly and accommodating - but professional as well. We already miss the care they gave us. Perhaps what stands out most (beside the view, natural beauty and exquisite design) is the fresh sushi created and served by master sushi chef Hudson. We indulged in it every night - the freshest ever.... Can't wait to g back! ##### Nati Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveler Apr 20, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### As close to heaven you can imagine Everything about Rancho Pacifico is unique -- and much of it is one of a kind. It was heaven for us because it is peaceful, beautiful beyond belief and is fully staffed by professionals that make you feel at home. We drank in the views, the solitude -- and a few cocktails (all fresh, creative and fairly priced). We had a private BBQ by a secret waterfall, the best spa treatments ever in the most amazing setting, and met fabulous people (some of which were there for the 3rd or 4th time). Chef Hudson prepared fresh sushi for us in our villa - and it was probably the best we ever had. Manager Alex and Concierge Karla attended to everything. It's important to realize that RP is not a budget hotel - it is one of the most awarded small hotels in the world which is one of the reasons we chose it. As such it is certainly not cheap. But if you can afford it - or it's a special occasion - you will experience the royal treatment - and it is worth every penny. ##### Verified traveler Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveler Mar 19, 2016 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Beautiful view and quiet Three rugged miles from beach. Hotel transportation available but pricey. Activities at hotel limited to pool and hiking. Staff are very nice and helpful. Dinner menu could be simpler with fresh fish and veggies. Fruit and salad on request were outstanding. ##### Verified traveler Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christophe Feb 14, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Parfait pour une lune de miel Une vue sur la baie des baleines magnifique.
