the property was private and absolutely beautiful! The trail was also really nice.

Alarcon United States of America

We were enchanted by Xandari. It’s so unique and artistic. Even with heavy rains the night we were there, we still found magic, like sitting in a jacuzzi in the rain, watching gorgeous birds fly all around. We vowed to come back and experience the hiking trail, garden and other outdoor amenities - and of course the spa. Amazing views of the city below from rooms and restaurant.

Katie United States of America

Loved the ecclectic room with a great view. Loved our spa services but most of all loved the gardens.

Rex United States of America

Large property with extensive native and garden habitats near airport Spacious rooms/villas with patios Views of city

Charlotte United States of America

The view from my patio was stunning. Not just that, the number of amenities available was so vast. I went for hikes on the trails on the resort property and I was so pleased with both how accessible and rewarding the views were. The trails were easy to follow but don't let that fool you, the difficult route was well worth the sweat! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate me and were very attentive. I will definitely stay here again.

Ciji United States of America

The staff was amazing!!! Loved Irene at the Spa! We also loved the receptionist Mario and the other that would be there 24/7. Loved it!

Julissa United States of America

the concept, the spaces, the pools and in property trails

The place is just plain beautiful. Colorful, tasteful with quality artwork and landscaping everywhere. The staff was extremely helpful with every need. Food was excellent as well. Quiet and peaceful. Lovely location.
