Guest Reviews

• Carlos (8/5): -
• Juan (9/5): Vacaciones de relax - La atencion de la gente.
• Oscar (10/5): Descanso dentro de la naturaleza - El ambiente de pueblito dentro de un bosque nuboso El camino de acceso está muy deteriorado
• Marc (8/5): -
• Federico (9/5): Muy satisfactorisa - No hay vallets para equipaje. No permiten parquear vehículos frente a la cabaña. Díficil acceso a pie
• Elina (10/5): - Все было великолепно! Воздух, персонал, камин, еда
• Anissa (10/5): Super expérience ! - Super expérience. Hotel de qualité, service au top. Une mention spéciale pour la cheminée dans la chambre qui ajoute un charme exceptionnel au lieu. Super massage ! L’ambiance général de l’hôtel nous transporte hors du temps. Les cocktails étaient très bon. La partie restauration pourrait être améliorée à la hauteur du lieu.
• Brian (10/5): Beautiful property at the end of a long road. The food was amazing. -
• Philip (10/5): -
• gerryaf (10/5): Great place in the cloud forest. - Breakfast and food were great. It is a beautiful spot. Great birding and exceptional birding guide. Our room looked out into the cloud forest. Staff were very helpful and friendly. It was great. We will go again.
• LandoMatarrita (10/5): Fin de semana de desconexión y relajación - La disponibilidad del personal para solucionar cualquier situación. La diversidad de actividades para realizar. La comida deliciosa!

• Florian (9/5): Superb -
• Fizzylina (9/5): Lovely stay! Beautiful property with gardens and trails - The property was very nice and well maintained. The room was well equipped and very comfortable. The trails were wonderful! We saw plenty of birds and other animals. The staff was very kind and attentive. There were a number of fun amenities at the property. We enjoyed a very relaxing massage! Overall we had a great time. We did not enjoy the food, unfortunately. We ordered a cheese casserole with beef, which listed in the description "filled with melted palmito cheese topped with grilled picanha", but instead of melted cheese we got a liquid cheese sauce which felt like it was made from a pre-made pouch. The beef was okay. I had pasta but the sauce was way too sweet and very runny (the rigatoni were well cooked though). With such a high price, I expected better. :(
• Ana (9/5): Superb -
• Karen (10/5): Beautiful facility and lovely staff. - Lovely grounds and facilities. It is a bumpy gravel road to the property.
• Don (9/5): Truly in the clouds. Great place for birds. A cool respite from the quite warm Pacific side. - Beautiful grounds for strolling and exploring/bird watching. The staff was friendly. The individual casitas were very private. We enjoyed our terrace looking out into the forest. Morning bird walk with Jose was great. I had a couple of nice soaks in the tub. Water was not hot but a comfortable temperature. Can't beat the view! We were in an upgraded casita, #28. But it didn't have enough furniture for 2 people indoors our on the terrace. We had to request outdoor chairs and a table. We had one rocking chair inside and a sofa and a desk chair. We had to request a dehumidifier which really helped with the comfort in the room.
• Rachael (8/5): Beautiful remote private cloud forest hotel - The quiet & remoteness Nothing
• Carolina (10/5): Relaxing and healing - Our stay was excellent; This is probably my fourth visit. We went to have a relaxing experience and rest, and we achieved it. The rooms, all the facilities, the attention of the staff, daily activities, and meals are all great. Thank you.

• Stephanie (9/5): Very cozy place - The environment, excellent facilities, room was beautiful and comfortable, excellent place to recharge energy Food vs price
• Nace (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dinan (9/5): Superb -
• Sue (8/5): Great experience in the clouds. Lots of bugs, frogs and birds to see. - The staff were very helpful, knowledgeable and Axel made very nice cocktails. The walks and hummingbird garden were easy to access and well maintained. The road approach is very rough and 4WD would be recommended.
• Frederick (9/5): Superb -
• Gerardo (8/5): Very good - Service, room chimenea No coffe in rooms
• Eugenio (10/5): Amazing place, location and service -
• Lauren (7/5): Villa Blanca truly is in the clouds. A great spot to rest and recharge. - Very friendly & helpful staff. Beautiful views and location in the cloud forest. Private rooms and terrace were lovely. Most windows/doors don’t have screens and there’s no AC so rooms get stuffy. Only one restaurant option on site (drive down to the local sodas if you need a change). “Happy hour” was only one drink on special and still $8. Hot water was spotty/inconsistent.
• César (10/5): Exceptional -
• Antonio (7/5): Good -

• Mads (9/5): Superb -
• Nancy (7/5): Good -
• Michael (10/5): beautiful property but truly in the clouds. - great staff, beautiful Cabanas, very clean the location was about 8km down a very rough road and we didn’t see the sun for 2 days. We were hoping for a view of the mountains but it was foggy and misty the whole time.
• Sandy (10/5): sad that it was only for one night. - very special with lots of beauty and charm.
• Richard (9/5): Beautiful place with very nice and dedicated staff - Nature pure, well maintained property
• Gustavo (10/5): a wonderful and relaxing weekend - excellent for a weekend to relax and enjoy with my significant other the menu option was quite reduced in options
• Elizabeth (8/5): wonderful nature - location in the rain forest and guide and activities road and directions leading to it.
• Erika (8/5): great for a weekend getaway , very secluded and away from everything - the nature surrounding this beautiful property is enchanting , milking the cows, walking thru the nature trail was the best part
• Margaret (10/5): great place to take a nice break… very friendly staff!! - everything NA
• Kenia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yoyce (10/5): The restaurant - lovely place with beautiful environment The menu should have costarican food, I know that maybe the target clients are very specific, but you can still offer our food, it would be a nicer experience.
• Michael (7/5): Nice stay, disappointed afterwards - The hotel is located high up in a beautiful cloud forest with lots of wildlife. It's very peaceful, and there were almost no other guests besides us. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff very friendly in person. On a rainy afternoon, we had the hotel's little cinema to ourselves. As others have mentioned, the road up is very bad. Although the waiters are nice, the food in the restaurant is not great and overpriced. It is a remote resort surrounded by forest, so there are no other food options around. After we left, we found out we forgot a book in the room that we would really like to have back. Since we would be in Costa Rica for about ten days more, we asked if it could be sent to our next hotel. The staff promised to send it, but then stopped responding to messages, and it never came. We were quite disappointed by this lack of service, as we had spent a lot of money at this hotel on the room, meals, and a guided tour.
• Kassandra (8/5): great adventure in the clouds - the nature, fireplace, game room food was OK
• Chris (9/5): Superb -
• Alberto (10/5): Exceptional -
