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.

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at this resort! The peaceful tranquility was a much-needed escape, especially after a noisy start to our trip. The rooms were cozy, with lovely features like a fireplace and jacuzzi. The dining was delightful, although I wish there had been more options for drinks. Overall, it was a wonderful experience but keep in mind that the location is a bit remote, which might not suit everyone.

This resort offers a unique experience with self-sustaining casitas that come with stunning views and a cozy ambiance. While the service was exceptional and personalized, I found the spa facilities lacking in quality. The dining experience was delightful, featuring fresh ingredients sourced right from the farm. Overall, it's a beautiful getaway with some minor areas needing improvement.
