The RP Story
Every great hotel tells a story. The RP story begins with an incredible location in the rainforest with ocean views, mountain breezes, and close proximity to Marino Ballena and Corcovado National Parks. The story continues with luxury resort amenities and an unmatched level of friendly personal service. The rest of the story depends on you. Come to Rancho Pacifico and see where your story leads.
Where the Mountains meet the Sea
Rancho Pacifico is located in the only part of Costa Rica where the mountains meet the sea. As a result, we enjoy amazing natural beauty and wildlife that you will find nowhere else. The resort sits in the cool mountain breezes nearly 2,000 feet above sea level with commanding views of the Pacific Ocean.

The Rancho Pacifico Experience
There are plenty of eco-lodges throughout Costa Rica and other parts of the world. However, it is rare to find a luxurious resort hotel like Rancho Pacifico that combines eco-friendly practices with an award-winning spa, world-class dining, and attentive personal service. In fact, it takes a staff-to-guest ratio of nearly 1:1 to achieve the level of service we provide. Come see for yourself how the Rancho Pacifico experience results in the finest vacation possible.
Tico Charm
Costa Ricans are proud to call themselves “Ticos”. All of our team members are native Ticos or permanent residents. The Tico charm shines through in their warm and friendly service. In fact, many of our guests stay in touch with our staff for years after their stay. That may be hard to believe until you experience the service at Rancho Pacifico for yourself.
Service con mucho gusto
Con mucho gusto – with much pleasure – is a phrase you will hear often at Rancho Pacifico. To us, it has more than one meaning. On one hand, it means that it truly gives us much pleasure to serve our guests and to see the joy they experience during their time with us. On the other hand, it means that everything at Rancho Pacifico is intended to give our guests much pleasure. This is your home while you are here. Relax and enjoy yourself – con mucho gusto!
