Villa Blanca is truly a hidden gem nestled in the cloud forest. The setting is breathtaking with beautiful gardens and a tranquil atmosphere that makes it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The staff is incredibly welcoming and eager to ensure that your experience is special. However, getting to the hotel requires navigating a bumpy road, and dining is limited to the on-site restaurant, which offers fantastic food but can be a bit pricey.

Facilities included a lovely game room and beautiful gardens for exploration, although there are no gyms or pools to enjoy. This is more about relaxation than rigorous activity.

This resort is truly an unexpected gem nestled in the cloud forest. The spacious and clean cabins provided a cozy atmosphere, especially with the log fires laid out each evening. The staff was incredibly warm and attentive, making our stay feel personal and special. However, the remote location may be a bit of a challenge to reach for some travelers.

Villa Blanca offers a unique experience nestled in the beautiful cloud forest. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable, with each room providing a lovely fireplace. I particularly enjoyed the attentive staff who went above and beyond to make our stay special. However, some maintenance issues, like insect proofing the windows, could use attention, and I missed having a hot tub to relax in after hiking. Overall, it's an excellent escape for nature lovers, but not ideal for those seeking nightlife or bustling attractions.

Staying at this hotel in the Cloud Forest was a magical experience. Waking up to the mist and watching it clear was truly enchanting. The amenities were great, especially the lovely spa and food, though the service at breakfast could be improved. The roads to get there are a bit rough, but once you arrive, the solitude is worth it. Overall, a wonderful place to unwind surrounded by nature.
