The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Culinary Delight

The food at Villa Blanca was simply fantastic! Each meal was made with fresh ingredients sourced from their own garden and local farms. For breakfast, I enjoyed homemade bread with good pineapple and blackberry jams that were out of this world! I had dinner at the resort on two evenings, and both times the offerings were fresh and delicious. The menu changes based on availability, but I can confidently say the steak and chicken dishes I tried were scrumptious!

Cozy Casitas

Our stay in a casita was incredibly cozy and comfortable. The fireplace added a romantic touch to our evenings, especially on the cooler nights. The casita was spacious, providing a lovely private seating area to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding nature. I loved how everything felt rustic yet so well-maintained; it truly enhanced our experience in the cloud forest.

Fun with Family

I really appreciated the on-site entertainment options at Villa Blanca. I enjoyed playing in the small game room with my kids, where we found a pool table and foosball. Additionally, the movie theater was a nice touch for winding down after a day of adventures. It provided an excellent way for families to bond and have some fun together at the resort!

Nature Trails & Relaxation

The hiking trails around Villa Blanca were an absolute highlight. I loved walking through the forest, surrounded by stunning vegetation and wildlife. The guided nature walk was particularly nice; our guide shared insightful knowledge about the flora and fauna. After a day of exploring, relaxing in front of the fire or enjoying a cozy evening intended the perfect way to unwind. This tranquil atmosphere made for a truly refreshing retreat.

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.

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.
