Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Just over an hour’s drive from San Jose International Airport (SJO), eco-minded travelers from all over the world have reveled in the beauty of Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Hotel, located within the Los Angeles Private Biological Nature Reserve & Research Station in the Canton of San Ramon.Here, you’re immersed in one of the world’s most precious and complex jungle ecosystems — the cloud forest.This boutique mountain hotel is nestled on 75-acres of gentle rolling hills, with well-appointed “casitas” and Honeymoon Suites, each with their own fireplace, and surrounded by acres of lush botanical gardens. Originally owned by former president Rodrigo Carazo Odio and First Lady, Estrella Zeledon de Carazo, Villa Blanca has become a renown and cherished Costa Rica destination. The architecture reflects the original farm village concept, with a welcoming Hacienda, offering guests exceptional Costa Rican hospitality, premier dining, a private theater, conference facilities, and pampering spa menu. Also quite unique is a replica of a 14th century Roman wedding chapel, La Mariana, with its hand painted ceramic ceiling.Choose from a variety of nature-based activities, including horseback, zip-lines, and user-friendly guided trials, plus excursions to Arenal and Poas volcanoes, hot springs, and rural-cultural tours.This is the Costa Rica where those who “travel well and travel right” want to go. ... more less

“Best kept secret in Costa Rica”

Reviewed 24 May 2013 NEW

A group of us planned a trip to CR and Villa Blanca was one of the places recommended to stay at. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the staff was very welcoming and made our stay pleasant. The food was outstanding and every meal was something to talk about. We've been back a month to the states and can't stop talking... More

“Find your inner peace here!”

Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

I traveled here during the rainy season, and loved it. Spent 3 nights here, and that was just right. It was sunny during the mornings and cloudy and rainy during the late afternoon and night. So in the mornings we went hiking and horseback riding. When the thunder rolled in, it was very loud and surreal. Getting cozy in the... More

“Loved it”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

This resort is beautiful. The rooms were spacious and comfy. And the massage was awesome. I would definitely stay here again. The live rabbits and parrots added the right touch to staying in this paradise. The fresh fruit at breakfast was delicious. The only downside was that we arrived a little on the early side and the rooms weren't ready,... More
