Amazing place to stay, feels like literally living in the clouds. Weather can be a little unpredictable and adds to the mystique of the place. The last 30 mins of the drive to the place can be a little rough, recommend getting there before sunset on your first time.

Fabulous stay!

Villa Blanca is a fantastic, eco friendly resort located in a cloud rain forest. Extremely customer service focused team, led by Marco E. and staff. Highly recommended and we hope to return in the future. Skilled birding and biologist guides, great trails and a lively spa too! Food quality was exceptional.

DON’T BOOK IT !

DON’T BOOK IT ! Absolutely no way this is a 4 star property. Our room didn’t even have a chair. The only place to sit was on the bed! There was no TV, no mini fridge, no desk, no AC, no power outlets near the bed. Didn’t even have a toilet paper holder! This room may have been a 2 star accommodation. And the ROAD…… The road to get to this place was literally 5 miles of potholes. This was the worst arrival experience at any hotel.

The property is amazing, surrounding nature anywhere you look. Perfect place for a short stay, not much to do out of the hotel grounds. The bar and the restaurant have great food and drink options, not very pricey (drinks are $10-12, main dishes $15-$30 in Dec 2023).

Tucked away, a long bumpy road to get back there. Once there very quiet small resort and very friendly staff. Not so many people, more older adults on our trip. Restaurant on site was excellent, very reasonable prices. Fireplaces in the room was a nice touch for a very rustic experience.

Good escape!

The Villa Blanca is an out of the way oasis. However, the road to get there is a Costa Rican nightmare. The new owner hopes to rectify that in the future. The food was very good and service very attentive. There are few activities here, but a wonderful way to relax for a day or two.

Very personable hotel. Everyone was super welcoming. Things the hotel offers: game area, movie theatre, frog/plant area, you can milk a cow in the morning, get body massage. The food in the restaurant was very good, we looked forward to eating there and it never disappointed us. I recommend the night tour (and I hate bugs) but it very educational and cool, the guide was great. There is a trail to walk around the property on your own as well. The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. The road to get to the hotel was in poor condition which was a bit annoying. We stayed 1 full day and a night and it was just enough, but we like to rush things, so perhaps another day for someone who likes to enjoy the quite time.
