Xandari Resort And Spa

Xandari Resort And Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Xandari exceeded our expectations. The service was exceptional. The grounds were also amazing. We did the waterfalls hike and that was super fun and it was a great work out. I had a 90 minute deep tissue massage and Irene was fricking awesome. I also loved the massage room. It was open to the rainforest with a city view. Also our room was fabulous! I highly recommend staying at the Xandari. We chose to stay there our last night because it was close to the airport and we ended up with such a treat."
