Really a long bumpy way to hotel, after this everything is good

Beautiful mountain hotel , very peaceful and enjoyable. Walks in the green tropical forest. Breakfast wasn´t the best. Even though we were the only ones in the dining room, the waiter didn´t remember small requests. But the place is awesome!

We loved the location of the property, one couldn’t ask for more! The cloud forest was truly magical.

Fantastic staff, especially their natural guide, excellent food, beautiful environment. Great for birders and anyone who wishes to experience Costa Rica’s natural beauty.

Excellent place to relax and connect with nature

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.

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.

Another great stay at villa blanca. Food was excellent again. Property improvements look exciting.

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.

Villa Blanca Cloud Forest is amazing. The drive, albeit beautiful, is long and bumpy- and will have you wondering if you have made the correct decision on where to stay. Once you arrive you will realize that you have entered a unique experience unlike anything else. The grounds are impeccable and amazing. The staff is great. The rooms, adorned with handcrafted local hardwoods are unlike anything you have seen before. A must visit- words cannot describe this place.

Perfect get away hotel. Loved the private cinema, the views, the friendliness of the staff and also the location. Close to San Ramon but still very quiet and in feels close to nature.

so I loved this hotel the first few nights. But there is a lot of stuff that I need to warn others. There's nothing to do here besides a few nature walks. There is a lovely fireplace in each cabin and the cabins are lovely but there is a very very long and bumpy ride to get to the villa. I literally cringe thinking about this 45 minute road just to get access to the property. The service is great, the food is great but it's all very VERY expensive. If you do not have a car, transportation is expensive. There is nothing within walking distance. So most people are at day tours all day. There are no activities other than a night tour and a tour of the property. Is it gorgeous? Yes. But there is no sun. It's rainy or misty all the time. Yes, it's a cloud forest, but I just say, BE AWARE that if you expect other things to do, there's nothing but a pool table. There's a mini cinema. But it's wet and damp. Food is exceptional, but be prepared to pay a fairly decent bill. I still give this place 5 stars. It's unique, but it's not a place for a 7 day visit.

The food was incredible and the place is beautiful

Good food in restaurant. Pleasant and helpful staff

A place where you can explore, learn, rest, eat delicious and rest in the middle of nowhere. The hotel is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. They all knew my name, say hi every time we met and made things really confortable and easy. The reserve is huge and worth the walks through the woods. The night walk with a guy is totally worth the trip. One of the best hotels I stayed in CR

Very nice room, well maintained and great staff that makes your stay enjoyable.

The setting is very pretty. Breakfast and dinner is great. They have a really good chef. The entire staff needs to be praised. Nice nature reserve onsite with good tour guide. The rooms could use some minor upgrades. Overall a very nice relaxing stay. Also the massage therapist is very good. Milking a cow in the morning was one of the highlights.

Amazing place, great friendly staff, what an experience!!! 🔥🔥

Love everything about Villa Blanca. A TV would be nice when kept inside due to weather.

We had the most amazing time! The property was absolutely gorgeous. We had a 4 yr old with us that LOVED milking the cows and the night walk. Hope to return someday.

Spent two wonderfully relaxing days and nights at this resort. I have never been better tended to by the staff of a hotel. They truly want you to enjoy every moment in their beautiful cloud forest setting. Nils, Gustavo and Luis were all terrific in helping my wife and I have a great time. If there was one area that I feel that could be improved I would say that not all items on their dinner menu measure up to the quality of the service. In spite of this minor issue this was one of the best stays I have had in recent memory. I’d strongly recommend Villa Blanca to anyone visiting Costa Rica that wants to experience a cloud forest.

All was great but what was staff and food were phenomenal.

Place is great, property is clean and every small detail is being raking care of. The service is amazing.

Staff were fantastic along with the cocktails (there's a happy hour), food, environment and facilities of the resort. It is far away from any meaningful town so to experience the area you will need to hire a car (as we did) or engage with the tourist companies that the hotel services. Our cabin had a fireplace which we tried to use but we found it was blocked, so filled the room with smoke quite quickly! Expect lots of moths and weird insects (which will come into the cabins as they have gaps under the doors and you are right next to a rainforest) but no mosquitos.

What an amazing place! Loved the fresh farm to table meals, the wonderful hikes - especially the guided night hike. Our casita was very clean and comfortable with a nice patio to sit and read. The cloud forest was beautiful and best of all the staff was friendly and very thoughtful.

Wow! This place is amazing, lovely views and homely feel, comfy bed and love the rocking chairs in the living room / patio. who needs a TV when the views and wildlife are this good! We explored the hotel trails and research centre by day and participated in the night walk, all great tours with enthusiastic guides. Hotel reception is a lovely place to finish the day with a drink and sunset view before heading to the restaurant for some local grown food!

The resort is located in the middle of a cloud forest and there is about 4 km of walking trails through thick cloud forests. That is really cool. I wouldn't suggest spending there more than two nights since there is not enough to do in the near vicinity. Our room was really in need of refurbishment, and linen and towels need replacing. The local restaurant is great for dinners, breakfasts are mediocre. The stuff is excellent.

Lovely place. A bit cooler than expected. Had own car and it was not easy to get here. Everyone very helpful especially at front desk. Roxana great! Casita was rustic but nice.

The superior casita was just big enough for 2 and nothing special, although the bathroom was nice. The tours wth Estaban were the highlight and only $30 (less than other places on our trip). Sadly the food was not very good yet pricey and the waiters were pushy. I'd recommend to go and enjoy the cloud forest tours for a day and support the reserve, staying overnight to make it easy logistically.

We had an amazing stay. Stunning views and very friendly staff.

Nice Hotel Super Friendly and Supportive Staff. The Dinner and Breakfast were excellent. I definitely recommend this place.

Villa Blanca is beautiful, peaceful, remote, and a little bit boring. Google maps directions were wrong, but there are several faded signs to help you find the resort. I wouldnt want to arrive after dark! Theres one restaurant, kind of fancy and expensive, but we ate there because its so far to drive to town. I recommend bringing a picnic lunch and some snacks. We walked all the trails, saw the entire resort, milked the cow, and watched a movie in the same day. The view is amazing! You can see for miles in every direction. If youre staying longer than 24 hours, plan on either relaxing with very little to do or paying for tours. Theres no pool.Our room had a king bed, two twin beds, a fireplace, mini bar fridge, a patio with chairs, jacuzzi tub and a separate shower.Breakfast was a buffet with omlets made to order.
