Delicious Dining Experience

The food at Villa Blanca was absolutely mouthwatering! From breakfast to dinner, every meal was perfect. I especially loved that they sourced a lot of their ingredients from their own dairy and greenhouse. Enjoying locally made yogurt and cheese with my meals made the experience even better. Highly recommend trying the homemade ice cream!

Relaxing Spa Retreat

Our experience at the spa was heavenly. The massage therapists were incredibly kind and professional. After a long day of hiking through the beautiful cloud forest, it was perfect to unwind with such a relaxing treatment. I left feeling rejuvenated and ready to enjoy more of the stunning nature surrounding us.

Cozy and Comfortable Casitas

We stayed in one of the Honeymoon Casitas, which was beautifully decorated and very spacious. The cozy fireplace added a nice touch, and we really loved the small patio where we could sit and listen to the sounds of the forest. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.

Unique Entertainment Options

I loved the absence of TVs in the rooms, which made for a truly peaceful getaway. Instead, we enjoyed a movie in the hotel's cinema one evening. It was a good way to relax with my family after dinner and the selection of films was just right for us. I appreciated the focus on nature and quality time together.

Villa Blanca offers a unique and breathtaking experience nestled in the cloud forest of Costa Rica. The accommodations, charming and spacious, allow you to enjoy the stunning views while feeling cozy by the open fireplace. The service was generally attentive, but there were some hiccups during busy meal times that could be improvements. Dining was good; however, the food service could be more coordinated. While there were plenty of activities to keep you engaged, I found that daytime options were limited once the early tours concluded.

Staying at this cloud forest hotel was a remarkable adventure filled with stunning views and rich wildlife. The hotel's remote location added to its charm, providing a peaceful escape from the heat of Costa Rica. The rooms were comfortable, but the breakfast could have been more exciting. Overall, the experience was fantastic, with friendly staff and plenty of fun activities, making it worth the journey on the rough roads to get there.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, nestled in a peaceful setting surrounded by beautiful gardens and wildlife. The food was exceptional, particularly the homemade yogurt at breakfast, and the staff made us feel truly welcomed. However, accessing the hotel requires navigating a long dirt road which can be foggy, and I wish there were a pool to enjoy during the warmer hours. Overall, I'd highly recommend this spot for its tranquility and dedication to organic, home-grown food.

This resort offers a unique experience with self-sustaining casitas that come with stunning views and a cozy ambiance.
