Xandari was designed by Californian architect Sherrill Broudy and his wife Charlene Broudy, whose fabulous wall hangings adorn the corridors. Each room is individually designed, making great use of colourful Costa Rican textiles. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light into every corner. Furniture is made locally from recycled wood, making each piece unique. The open-air terrace restaurant serves delicious organic food from the hotel gardens. There is also an indoor restaurant for chilly evenings and a comfy lounge.

There is also a 2 bedroomed villa which can sleep 6.
