Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Hotel Retreat

I stayed at Villa Blanca with my mom in January and it was an amazing experience! The location is stunning and everyone is extremely friendly. The bird tours with José and night walk with Sergio were highlights! We also enjoyed the self guided trails and hummingbird garden. Perfect destination if you want to enjoy nature and relax, and even better if you enjoy birding. The rooms were very comfortable and cozy even in the variable microclimate. The food and cocktails are also great!

This place is amazing! It's such a cool spot surrounded by jungle/awesome plants/wildlife. Food was great and staff and very friendly and helpful. The cabin we stayed in and the lobby and everything were beautiful. Overall a very relaxing and unique experience.

Comfy beds and glorious views, but take warm clothing. The rooms in the little chalets look lovely but were very chilly. We tried to light the fire, but that simply filled the room with smoke. The public rooms looked lovely also, but depite lighting two log fires in the evenings, they left the big doors open ( probably to let the smoke out) and so it wasn't warm there either. We felt that the grounds had been lovely several years ago and enjoyed the waymaRked walks, but the greenhouses were very rundown as was the frog house and the orchid house. No need to use the expensive guided walks if you don't want to - we followed the trails and saw humming birds, coati and several birds.The food was very American and there is nowhere else to eat. I enjoyed a yoga class, but the art class was half hearted.
