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).

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.

Place to Relax for Nature Lovers

Quiet, Nature, Relax but no pool. The overall experience was excellent if you are wanting to disconnect and enjoy the peace and beauty of nature. My wife and I enjoyed walking the trails (in the morning due to rainy conditions later in the day). The grounds were well kept, and the rooms were simple and clean. We toured each room category, and found them to all be spacious (even the queen room). The rooms with whirlpool tubs were nice if you like that sort of thing. The whirlpool in the suits can fit two people of average size. The Silencio, family, and presidential have two bathroom; one with whirlpool and the other with roomy shower. I think for two people, the JR would be perfect and the queen a bit smaller, but nice as well. Most all rooms face the forest with no view of the mountains or valley. The exceptions are the Silencio suits 34 & 35 which have a nice view of the chapel. Also, we understand that cabin 16 has a nice view of the valley and mountains although we did not visit this room personally. The presidential is a splurge and would be nice for someone who needs to conduct business. It is also the only room we saw with a screened patio looking out to the forest. The JR suit room has a slightly elevated patio which is unique to this room. If you need a covered patio to sit outside (private), book a suit. If you don't then a queen or twin will suffice. We found all of the restaurant food to be great with nice presentation (specialty coffee high price).

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was in good condition, but things were old, but it was clean and it was comfortable. Had a nice fireplace. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The restaurant was OK. Dinner was all right. Breakfast was fine however, the hotel is located in a very remote area and to get there, we had to travel on a very steep narrow curvy road that took us a very long time and then as we made the turn to get to the hotel, the road was unpaved and filled with potholes and really craters, and the 4 miles took us nearly an hour to travel so we arrived to the hotel is in the cloud forest. It was totally fogged in. We could barely see it. Luckily, there were some lights on. It was rainy, drizzly, foggy and chilly. I think it has a beautiful views if the clouds were to clear, but they didn’t during the time we were ther The landscaping around the hotel looks very lovely but again we couldn’t really walk around because it was. it was too foggy , damp and drizzly. The hotel was expensive and I don’t think that it was really a good value for the money we paid for it. We wouldn’t return here.

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.
