 Alma del Pacifico (formerly named Xandari by the Pacific) on Playa Esterillos Este, is situated between Jaco
Beach and Quepos, with beachfront villas plus the architecture,
art, hospitality and many amenities guests have come to enjoy at
the original Xandari Resort & Spa in the Central
Valley. Alma del Pacifico is just a two-hour drive from the
San Jose International Airport and only 15 minutes from the town
of Jaco. Spacious private Oceanview Villas all feature a large
terrace from which to enjoy unencumbered, panoramic views of the
Pacific Ocean, a private walled-garden, sitting area, minibar and
air-conditioning plus fan. The villas' generous-sized bathrooms
feature mosaic-tiled showers that open to private gardens. Each
villa is a separate building, designed by owner and architect Sherrill
Broudy, with original paintings, mosaics and tapestries by artist
Charlene Broudy.
In addition to the Oceanview Villas, there are also Garden Villas
with lush, expansive walled gardens and patios that are very private
and have areas for sunning. The villas are located next to the swimming
pools with private gated entrances. All villas have mini-kitchens
offering minibars, dishes and glasses, coffeemaker, and a selection
of coffee, teas, snacks, juices and water free of charge. All villas
are equipped with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, a security safe,
hair dryer, extra fan, telephone, alarm clock, CD player, desk,
table and chairs, and chaise lounges on the terrace. Built-in sofas
can be used as extra single beds. Villas sleep 4-5 persons.
The open-air thatched palm roof pavilion restaurant and bar has
sweeping views of the beach and gardens from every table. Featuring
healthy, gourmet international and Costa Rican dishes, the emphasis
is on fresh seafood and produce, with many fruits, vegetables and
herbs grown in Alma del Pacifico's own gardens. The shell-strewn, long, expansive
and scenic beach is perfect for walking, jogging, exploring and
sunbathing. Dramatic waves have made this a renowned surfing beach.
There's ample shade under the palm and almond trees, plus umbrellas
for lounging, and there's almost always a refreshing breeze. The
sky at sunset is breathtaking. The facilities include a lap swimming
pool, outdoor Jacuzzi, in-room massage, paths through ornamental,
herb and vegetable gardens, art gallery, artisan shop, internet
room, television room, laundry service, plus a wide assortment of
birds, iguanas and butterflies! |
