My wife and I found Florblanca via an internet search and immediately became impressed with the website. It prompted us to book the trip and upon arrival we were blown away with the level of service and beauty of the boutique resort. They picked us up at the airport in Tambor and we rode in a nice vehicle with A/C... More

I travel constantly and have come to expect a lot from hotels, but Florblanca surpassed all expectations and set a new bar. It's truly magical. The resort is beautiful, tucked away in a jungle enclave right on the beach, with some of the best sunsets I've ever seen. I loved the design of the villas, with most of the space... More

From the moment my new husband and I stepped onto the Florblanca grounds, we felt peaceful and surrounded by good people. We were greeted by a spunky young girl who showed us around and made us feel extremely welcomed. Florblanca is understated in many ways but feels comfortable, serene and luxurious. The video on their website actually paints this picture... More

Florblanca is such a unique spot, I will be returning for a third time! A short (and beautiful) flight from San Jose and a short drive from Tambor can seem like a little extra effort but it is well worth it once you arrive. They have managed to balance an authentic experience of nature with luxurious touches. From fresh flowers... More

The first night I arrived at FlorBlanca there was no one to check me in...except the sleepy security guard. That very first night someone broke into my villa at 5am and stole my surf board, while I was sleeping in the bedroom. They did gave me a night free, but only after I complained rather harshly. At $450 a night,... More

Dear Traveller, As we are sorry you had such a horrible experience at Florblanca, we do feel obligated to clarify the facts. When your rental surf board went missing from your villa, we did pay for the board and immediately rented you a new one for the remainder of your stay. We also offered to give you a full refund...

After a short flight from San Jose to Tambor, Florblanca picked us up for a short/scenic 50min ride to the hotel. A cold drink was waiting and we were checked in immediately curbside. No commercial lobby, no lines, and complete privacy. Our Villa 2 was spectacular, beautifully appointed, gorgeous bathroom, and the a/c worked perfectly in the bedrooms. The grounds... More

There are simply not enough superlatives to describe just how incredible the whole experience at Florblanca was. My boyfriend and I arrived mid-April after spending a month researching and planning our "perfect" vacation. We are self-admitted perfectionists and were looking for a 5 star, beautiful, tropical beach resort with impeccable service, food, yoga and spa, while being indigenous and not... More

This is our second trip to Florblanca which we enjoyed greatly. The only reason that I only gave it 4 stars is because the dinner was average at best. As my wife commented" not bad" This is a beautiful place and the villas are beyond expectations. It is the only place that I take 4 showers a day just to... More

If you love the outdoors, you'll love the rooms at Florblanca...falling asleep to the sounds of howler monkeys and the waves. The stretch of beach is pristine and long! Great for walking or surfing-a bit challenging! Grateful we had a room near the water, as the roads were extremely dusty-rooms closer to the road were a bit dusty as well.... More

Dear Traveller, Your title says it all! Falling asleep to the howlers is one of our favorite things about Florblanca. For nature lovers, our boutique hotel is a dream. The howlers have a home with us and we typically see then swinging through the trees each day. Florblanca also has many different types of birds throughout the property as well... More

We had an absolutely perfect honeymoon at Florblanca. I really can't recommend this place enough. Accommodations: We initially stayed in Villa 7, which was wonderful. The villas are unique, with most of the living space outside (including the bathroom) except for an inside bedroom w/ AC. There is plenty of privacy (including the outdoor shower), but this makes for some... More
