Description

Whether your spa preferences range from traditional aromatherapy massage to hot stones massages, facials or organic skin treatments, you’ll find yourself irresistibly pampered by their qualified spa therapists.
The gourmet restaurant, acclaimed in Gourmet Magazine, Epicurious Blog among many culinary reviews, uses only organic produce from their onsite gardens and local providers. Chef draws on Costa Rican and international culinary arts, using fresh seafood and organic meats and poultry to produce a varied menu each day. Enjoy the twinkling lights of the Central Valley aduring dinner, or the garden surroundings and song-birds as you have breakfast, with,of course, their own shade-grown coffee.
Finca Rosa Blanca offers an incomparable lodging experience with three extraordinary master suites and villas and eleven elegant junior suites. All of the well-appointed rooms include jacuzzi baths, king beds, with exotic bamboo linens, and private verandas overlooking the green central valley and volcanoes above, and secluded patios surrounded by tropical gardens and flowers. The climate is perennially spring-like with sunshine every day and temperatures which hover between 65F/18C to 82F/28C.
Finca Rosa Blanca is renowned for its exclusive and in-depth coffee tour of its own organic sustainable coffee farm, where the Estate Coffee is grown. Guests are treated to a complete history of coffee while hiking through the tree-shaded plantation to the “Beneficio”, where workers process the cherry and put it out to dry on its way to roasting and grinding in Casa Del Café. Also on hand is a naturalist and guide, who will take you on a bird-watching walk through the gardens and coffee farm. You can join in the festivities, taste local food, touch the soul of the Tico culture through art and music, and meet the school children and families of the small towns surrounding Finca Rosa Blanca.
Plan to visit for a secluded honeymoon retreat, a romantic spa getaway, or a nature or cultural holiday for your family.
Our opinion
The Hotel is located 15 minutes away from the airport. This is a small place and is lovely and quiet. Here you will find a full staff at your service and the pool area and hot tub is a great place to relax.. Rooms are beautiful, with the feel of a big house but very well separated from the other rooms. The bathrooms are nice and spacious. They’ve got also villas. The restaurant is nice, and te food is great.
The coffee tour is well worth the money; a tour around the plantation with a tour guide who is extremely knowledgeable and interesting. There is a coffee tasting session at the end of the tour.
