Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Farm And Inn

Our stay at the Finca Rosa Blanca was fabulous. The hotel building is a stunning, Gaudi inspired work of art itself, and is beautifully decorated with original works of art, hand painted murals and beautiful tile. Every detail is unique! My room was the top floor bedroom of the Blanca Rosa suite and it had panoramic views of the property and the city. The restaurant was lovely, outdoors but covered, and the food was excellent. The service was also excellent. We enjoyed the coffee the next morning in our room and had another delicious meal at breakfast before attending a very thorough and interesting tour of the coffee plantation. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot! I would have loved to stay another night but our itinerary was set. Transportation to and from the airport to the hotel was super easy and door to door service. This is a one of a kind hotel that should not be missed!

We stayed here for 2 nights while waiting for our departing and almost everything was perfect. Clean rooms, great restaurant, and almost all of the staff was super friendly. We did the coffee tour and it was great. We also met the owner and he took time to talk to us and explain the history of the hotel and how his family built it- I was so certain I was going to leave a 5 star review. Until I encountered the woman working the front desk on the morning of January 4th and 5th- I would call her out by name but I don’t know her name. She was very rude and acted like my presence was an inconvenience. I spent $2400 here over the course of 48 hours so I expected at least some level of decent service- at one point she literally left the front desk to avoid me after my wife and I asked if we were going to be be able to buy more coffee and she assured us she was working on getting it restocked. We’re reasonable people- we understand if supply is low and it won’t be restocked- that wasn’t the problem, it was her attitude towards us as paying guests. Additionally we decided to check out early and we arranged our own transportation to the airport, she refused to remove the transportation charge from our bill after we told her we would not be taking their $45 taxi (it’s a $12 uber right or a $15 taxi if you arrange it independently btw). We opted to check out early because her attitude towards us rubbed us the wrong way that badly. I wish I could leave 5 stars, but for the nightly rate we paid, your front desk person should at least act like they want to be there.

Rooms: pictures in Tripadvisor do not do justice to their beautiful wall paintings or to the amazing views over the valley |Comfort level, please be aware that their is no air conditioning or heating for the colder nights. No Television either.|Furniture is need of some updates.|Although nice I would recommend some refurbishment and improvement to the expected amenities.||Restaurant: the food is ok, the star are the amazing views||Coffee Tour: this is a small organic coffee finca, therefore you will be shown the traditional method of coffee production||We only stayed for one night prior to our departure flight from Costa Rica and it was a great way to finish our trip. For longer stays I would except a greater level of comfort in accommodation.||Overall recommended for short stays

Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Farm and Inn truly embodies the beautiful spirit and rich culture of Costa Rica. Nestled in the midst of an organic coffee farm high in the hills of the Central Valley, Finca Rosa Blanca exudes local charm and artistry in every detail, from the graceful, curved architecture to the finely crafted coffee served every morning and afternoon.||My family stayed here 25 years ago, and we returned to find it every bit as memorable and lovely. As women traveling alone, we felt extremely safe and well cared for from the moment we arrived. We had two rooms that joined together to make a comfortable family villa and home away from home to explore the countryside. The villa was exceptionally clean and well tended, with so many pretty details in every room and full of thoughtful touches including an electric kettle, mini fridge, french press, and delicious chocolates each night. The beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms have lovely decor and luxurious jetted tubs for a relaxing soak. The pool, with a wonderful waterfall and surrounded by lush foliage, was a crystal clean delight. The grounds are incredibly beautiful, with trees, flowers, birds, and wildlife, and are fun to explore, including visiting the happy hens which provide fresh eggs for the scrumptious breakfasts each morning. Be sure to enjoy the delicious complimentary afternoon coffee (grown on the farm) and fresh cookies. A relaxing treat! ||The gracious staff were all very friendly, attentive, and helpful, and even worked overtime to ship my phone back to me that I left in the room when we departed. Thank you very much, Ed! We appreciated your kindness and hospitality throughout our stay so much! The housekeeping staff was so friendly and attentive, and our server Andrea made every breakfast delightful. The Inn is convenient to many attractions. We particularly enjoyed La Paz Waterfall Gardens and exploring the towns of Grecia and Sarchi. ||It is not hard to see why Finca Rosa Blanca is one of the National Geographic “Unique Lodges of the World”. Unlike being hurried off to a bustling, impersonal resort, this is authentic Costa Rica, where the beautiful culture, friendly staff, and gorgeous property come together to showcase the very essence of “Pura Vida!” I cannot recommend it enough!

😊: The Finca Rosa Blanca provides a 7 Star experience from the moment you arrive until you leave. All of the staff, whether bell boys, waiters, reception staff, tour guides etc., are professional, friendly, polite, and extremely helpful. The property, including the accommodation, is very clean, and everything is very tastfully, beautifully decorated.. 😢: If I have to try to find some shortcoming, I can only think that it would be nice to have drawers, rather that cubbie holes to put things away. And although there was an area where clothes could be hung up, there were no coat hangers..

Come for the incredible rooms – skip the pretentious restaurant!|The Finca Rosa Suite blew us away (book it directly!). You sleep at the very top of the iconic white tower, and the bathroom/bathtub feels like stepping into a giant mural – absolutely stunning.||The restaurant, however, was a total let down. Lunch on day one was a dried out overpriced burger and for both dinners they were out of several menu options. The “breakfast boxes” (for early tours) were laughable, and despite reserving one of the four coveted open-air tables with city views, they gave it away when we returned from a day trip that they recommended. We ended up ordering Italian via Uber Eats and eating on our private lower patio – way better.||Verdict: Stay for the jaw-dropping suite, skip the restaurant, and note that the property is quite far from the airport (especially in rush hour).

Did one night here before a flight departing San Jose. Very quirky hotel. With interesting history. On the outskirts of the city with a view, very spacious but also feeling a little unloved and rundown / dated. The staff were mostly very friendly and helpful although the restaurant was a let down - the food wasn’t very good at all - in fact I had the most disgusting main course of my whole trip, and possibly ever - and breakfast was average. No wonder the restaurant was deserted other than hotel guests. Overall the whole space was nice and if you’re looking for a more ‘off the beaten path’ type hotel then it is a good choice for a night but they really need to seriously up their game in the restaurant.

Pros: - Clean rooms - Decent amount of space - Pool and other amenities - Breakfast included - Unique design - View of the city - Trails / some wildlife Cons: - Dogs barking throughout the day and night. Loud. Non stop. - Additional noise from motorcycles, cars, trucks, and airplanes - Rooms are not soundproof, so you can hear almost everything inside and outside - Overpriced restaurant
