Just recently came here for a staycation with my boyfriend. We live on the southern pacific coast of costa rica and wanted time away from the beach and this was the perfect spot. so beautiful, peaceful and romantic. the food was great, we saw lots of wildlife and our room was amazing. we stayed in the el silencio suite and it was perfect. The fireplace in the room was my favorite part. We can't wait to come back to Villa Blanca.

My friends and I chose Villa Blanca to celebrate our collective 50th birthdays. We spent two amazing days in the clouds as Marco, Ana and all of the staff organised one amazing experience after another. Bird watching, spa treatments, forest walks and cocktails. The food was wonderful and we were so impressed how they were able to accommodate dietary needs so quickly and easily. Including a stunning gluten free birthday cake at a days notice. The best way to end the day is by the fire places off the dinning room. Cannot recommend the resort or the staff enough.

I spent two nights here as an end to my 23 day Costa Rica trip, and it truly was like saving the best for last. A beautiful location and wonderful accomodations . Took the extended guided nature walk and saw a wonderful assortment of birds in their natural environment. In retrospect I would have allowed a couple of extra days as there is so much to see and do here. And in addition the restaurant was first class! Highly recomnended!

“Mixed feeling!”

A beautiful place, an amazing forest…. but unfortunately the hotel needs significant refurbishing.

A beautiful place, an amazing forest…. but unfortunately the hotel needs significant refurbishing. Also, the hospitality part could be improved, with minimal service (no room service at all, room cleaned every 2 days….ect….) One super important point: the restaurant staff is really great. Marco, our waiter was very elegant, professional, kind and thoughtful. That contributes highly to make of the restaurant a very positive experience, despite a rather limited menu (and wine - only one or two bottles of red left on a list of 5 or 6) Jose, our guide, was amazing. He talks to the birds!!! The spa is a DISASTER and should be avoided. The masseuse who dispensed our massage was not trained and not happy to do her job. That’s pretty bad for a hotel & spa branding. So all in all, a mixed feeling - some very strong points, some very weak. Just making the hospitality and spa parts more professional would go a very long way.
