Rancho Santana

Tienda always seems to pull thru with great food and essentials. Nice ac too! Also shout out to Jose and Elsier working behind the counter there. They make shopping there a great experience, fully bilingual and excellent service! Way to go guys!

We spent a week with family at Rancho Santana. All 6 of us (14-66 years old) had such a great time. Massages with Maria and Ximera were magical. From yoga, pickleball, surfing, boogie boarding, beach walks, trails, etc there was something for everyone. ❤️ this place.

Have to mention the spa and in particular Jimena, she gave the best massage ever, amazing! It was so relaxing, I will definitely recommend her, The restaurants specifically the taqueria and the pizza place were great, the beaches were so clean,

Our family had a dream vacation at Rancho Santana! We went with our kids and they were so accommodating and made it fun for all ages. Adults loved the spa and daily yoga with a great view and kids loved kids club and nights by the pool. We cannot wait to come back again!

Family of four (kids 7 and 10) visited for 6 nights over the Christmas holiday. - Pied de terre suite at the Inn was fantastic - spacious, well appointed, large bathroom, shower with excellent water pressure, and beautiful view from the patio. - We didn’t care for the main pool. The landscaping makes it difficult to see the ocean when seated, and the music played at the pool was not to our liking. We preferred to walk over to the townhomes nearby and use that pool. - Food good to very good. There are inconsistencies in how things are prepared, particularly when it comes to the house cocktails. Nothing particularly stands out that we loved. - Massage at the spa with Johanna was fabulous, as were the hot and cold pools before my massage. - Onsite activities were excellent! My kids loved the sandboarding, monkey scouting. Day trip to Granada with Jafet and Gustavo was so much fun! We loved the ziplining and boat tour around the isletas. Skip the chocolate place - it was very weird energy, pushing you to buy things, and we all felt uncomfortable. - We had one negative experience with a private surf lesson, as my daughter’s instructor was getting obviously frustrated that she wasn’t able to stand. The surf was much too intense for a young beginner. This was the one activity I wish we had not paid for, as my daughter ended up crying from being pummeled by the waves and not wanting to continue. This was a very different experience than what we’ve previously done in Hawaii, much better for beginners. - A few things to bring with you: bug spray (I got eaten alive!), your own refillable water bottle (they have them available for $45). Also, know that gratuity is included on yours. We ended up double tipping. All in all, we loved this very special property! It’s relaxing and can be as busy (or not!) as you like!

Great place for family. Beautiful property with a lot of activities for kids. Horse riding is so much fun here. The crew was so helpful and friendly. The house riding really made the trip for the kids. All of the food is really fresh at all of the restaurants.
