Unforgettable honeymoon in paradise

10.0

We had the honor of celebrating our honeymoon at the incredible Rancho Pacifico, and even though we had done plenty of research beforehand, the experience still completely exceeded our expectations. From the moment you step out of the car, to the moment you (very reluctantly) have to leave, you are treated like royalty. We spent six unforgettable days and nights in the Treehouse Tamandua, and loved every single moment of it. Falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the jungle felt almost unreal, in the best possible way. The food is absolutely top class, and the service is warm, friendly, and genuinely personal. A big thank you to the entire team, from chefs and waiters to concierge, groundskeepers, housekeeping, and spa staff. This place is truly something special, and we are already planning to come back to celebrate future anniversaries here.

March stay at Rancho Pacifico

10.0

Beautiful location with stunning rooms/ treehouse. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Treehouse was very large and tastefully decorated. Pool area was also nice. Road up is really not too bad.

A slice of Heaven- truly an amazing property!

10.0

From the second we stepped foot on the property at Rancho Pacifico, I knew it was going to be a 5-star experience, and it was! Within seconds of arriving, Jason, the bartender had wonderful fresh fruit drinks in our hands. The outdoor bar, pool, spa, lawn would be where we spent most of our days. Jason was a gem, made anything drink we asked for, all with fresh fruit picked on the property. We opted out of some excursions just to enjoy every moment we could on this stunning property. The views, the staff, the meals, the cleaners, and the gardeners all made our stay amazing. Plan to eat your meals on property, as the food quality, taste, presentation, service and views made the experience a 10 out of 10. I would highly recommend Rancho Pacifico and encourage you to plan nothing and just enjoy this beautiful, relaxing slice of Heaven.

Quiet, private and relaxing - just want we needed!

10.0

We truly enjoyed our recent stay at Rancho Pacifico. We opted for the all-inclusive package to keep things simple for us, and it was the perfect choice. All of our excursions and transportation were booked in advance. All we had to do was go to the front desk as scheduled and off we went! Being taken care of this manner allowed us to truly relax (which was our goal). Thank you to everyone at the resort!

Stunning boutique hotel

10.0

We stayed in Treehouse Puma, which was stunning. Lounging in the swing seat on the veranda, taking in the sights and sounds was delightful. The room was beautifully designed - light and airy. The main hotel was great, with views out over the whale’s tail bay. Food and service were fantastic.

Luxurious stay with a stunning view

10.0

If you are looking for an intimate and luxurious stay near Uvita, Rancho Pacifico is the perfect place to stay. From the time we booked our reservation to when we sadly had to leave to return home, the service was excellent. The treehouse Tamandua we stayed in was beyond beautiful and very private with a stunning view. They booked a fabulous day trip for us to Corcovado National Park and we enjoyed the daily shuttle to the Marino Ballena National Park and beach where we walked the long beach, swam and relaxed. The food and drinks were excellent, including a romantic private dinner organized for our last night. We hope to return soon.
