Our favourite rooms
Set in the circular turret of the main house, 40 feet above ground, the Rosa Blanca Suite is the most romantic spot on the property, with a beautiful private patio, 360-degree views from the wrought-iron bed, and the giant turquoise-tiled adobe tub. Junior Suite Las Aves has perky checkerboard floors, beautiful murals and an outdoor Jacuzzi.
Poolside
The spring-fed infinity pool is set on the hillside, with a 12-foot waterfall tumbling into it. Up above the deck, there’s a hot tub in a pergola roofed with a tangle of flowering vines.
Spa
Although small, El Targua spa has excellent treatments, including a hot-stone massage and a full-body scrub using coffee. Treatments often incorporate local crops, including avocados, almonds and chocolate.
Packing tips
Bring binoculars to spot the birds and butterflies zipping through the gardens; trek-sturdy shoes and long-sleeve shirts for jungle walks. The gift shop should stock any incidentals you forget.
Also
Master suite El Ranchito is wheelchair-accessible.
Children
Welcome. The hotel has a kids’ menu, and games for little ones. Rollaway beds and baby cots are free. There is no charge for children up to age three; 4–11-year-olds are $25 a night (excluding tax); 12 and older are charged $50 a night.
Eco‐friendly
Resolutely green in mindset: Finca Rosa Blanca is a champion of sustainability, both as an organic coffee plantation and a hotel. Built from recycled materials, wherever possible, employing solar water-heating systems, growing its own food and composting like there’s no tomorrow, the hotel is a poster child for eco-tourism.
