This was my husband's and my first stop on a four-ecolodge tour of Costa Rica, our first trip anywhere tropical (we're from Alberta, Canada) and our first experience with ecolodges. Finca Rosa Blanca had its work cut out for it when we arrived. First of all Costa Rica was my bucket-list trip - I didn't know why but I needed... More

My husband and I spent our last night in Costa Rica at this hotel. We experienced the coffee tour with Leo, whom provided lots of useful information. The room was very cute and had a large bathroom. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on. Compared to the other hotels we stayed in during... More

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this colorful, friendly, lovely hotel up in the hills, a 45 minute drive up from San Jose. The view of the farmland and trees, and the far-distant city lights were gorgeous. I remember the colorful tiles, relaxing patio, quiet ambience, soft bed, jacuzzi-bath -- indescribably pretty and relaxing.. We ate at... More

We traveled with 2 adults and 2 children and this provided a great location and facility for a first night stay arriving in San Jose, Costa Rica. The rooms were very nice and they were quite unique in the large house built by an Architect where he formerly lived. Take your time to look at the large room options and... More

On our recent trip to Costa Rica, I was really looking forward to staying at the Finca Rosa Blanca. It's eco friendly, beautiful and was highly recommended. Out of the 4 hotels we stayed at, it was consistently the second highest rated among the 10 members of our group, and was by a large margin the most expensive. That's just... More

Costa Rica is a beautiful country. Unfortunately, its capital city, San Jose, and the surrounding urban areas do not share in the country's great beauty. That's why we were delighted to find Finca Rosa Blanca and begin our stay of Costa Rica there. Finca Rosa Blanca is a little outside San Jose itself. If memory serves, its about a 30... More
