We have now stayed in three separate villas at florblanca and they were all perfect for us, but the real reason to stay here is the staff. The people who work at Florblanca are just special. From the reservations manager who coordinated our rooms and so many other details (car rentals, atv rentals…) to the concierges to the servers, everyone we encountered was pleasant and helpful. The resort is located ON the beach, which is absolutely where you want to stay in Santa Teresa. There are lots of beautiful, expensive Airbnbs in the hills-we stayed in one our second week, but I HIGHLY recommend staying on the beach, especially if you surf. It’s just better. Look no further if you want a comfortable air conditioned room with wifi in Santa Teresa.

Solid, not spectacular, overall. Charging 5-star price ($750/nt) for 3/4 star, dated room. Exterior living room and bathroom — open to nature without AC — means you stay in the cooled bedroom and that raccoons come nightly to check your mini-fridge. Christmas dinner at Nectar was a highlight. Staff was very pleasant and responsive.

Horrible Spa experience. Went there 2 days ago and walked out within 5 minutes of the massage starting. It is now Monday Feb 8th and the Manager has not even contacted us despite being notified of this incident. Their Masseuses are not confident and lack in technique and training. Staff are rude and have ZERO customer service skills. Horrible service at restaurant. Double standards by staff - they follow rules for somethings and do not follow rules for other things.

While spending a month in Costa Rica ( Pinilla ) we decided to venture down to Santa Teresa for four days. Clay @walkonwateradventures recommended we stay here and thank goodness we listened. We arrived the day they opened after being shut down due to Covid. We were greeting immediately when we pulled into the parking. The staff was very safe and cautious but also so gracious. We checked in and were taken to our villa. AMAZING is all I can say. The pictures we saw online were beautiful however being in the villa was 100x better. The entire staff was truly amazing. We dined in at the resort numerous times from breakfast , lunch , sushi, dinner. I will say our meals each time were amazing. The beaches were so beautiful along with the sunsets. I was able to get in a private Pilates class which was awesome. The instructor truly knew what she was doing and really made me sore :) The nature surrounding us was incredible. I would highly recommend if you travel to Santa Teresa that you stay at FlorBlanca.

We paid upfront for a vacation that was supposed to happen June 2020-I called to cancel well outside of the 60 day requirement for full refund-we booked the whole trip on credit card that was charged instantly but apparently they are not able to instantly refund-it has been over two months of excuses and we have not seen a dime-so disappointing.

This is my happy place. We had the best experience at Florblanca. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. They went above and beyond in every facet of our stay. Adrian, Allison, and Oscar were especially wonderful. Our open-air villa was beautifully appointed and the air conditioned bedroom was perfect for sleeping. The food was seriously the best. Healthy and delicious options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We didn’t want to leave. The beach is clean with spectacular sunset views. Serenity and bliss live here.

Florblanca is truly small hidden paradise. It´s green, peaceful and beautiful resort by the long white beach. Hotel staff is so lovely and service is excellent. Food is delicious and you can just relax and enjoy your stay at this unique hotel. There are every day also high quality pilates and yoga lessons. Pilates studio is well equipped and the teachers are professionals. Well come back.

It's hard to put into words how amazing Florbanca Resort truly is...the accommodations are comfortable, open and have incredible views. The food was the freshest I've ever had and the service was above and beyond. I cannot say enough good things. I cried leaving not only the beaches/resort, but cried having to leave the people as well. I'm beyond grateful for picking a resort with people that made our trip unforgettable. Everyone was so personable and gracious. I cannot WAIT to go back! Thank you Florblanca!

Flor Blanca is probably one of the most high-end places in Santa Teresa. With only a dozen of large hidden villas surrounded by a lovely garden, you will have all the privacy and space you will need while enjoying the pura vida life! The lodge is facing the sea, giving you a good mix between jungle and sea experience (watch out for the raccoons who enjoy stealing from your minibar). Our villa was great, with an amazing outdoor bathroom and beautiful bathtub. We also enjoyed the cosy living room and hammock. The hotel also has very nice facilities: from a big two-level swimming pool surrounded by trees and plants to a lovely spa with a majestic jacuzzi! The beach also feels very private as it is a bit secluded from the main beaches of Santa Teresa, and offers some great tide pools at low tide. The staff was also very helpful and friendly.

I had the opportunity to visit the Florblanca Resort in Santa Teresa for a yoga retreat. The resort also includes the Nectar restaurant so this review is for both of those. What an absolutely beautiful property and so well maintained. All the yoga classes were held in this yoga room that has the most amazing view of the lush surroundings and ocean beyond. Lets talk about the gorgeous pool area and yes private beach that are just steps away with loungers that face out to the ocean. And the spa! I've never been to a more beautiful spa. I got the relaxing massage and I never wanted it to end. I got to enjoy the fresh water whirlpool after. Seriously take me back! And everyone that works at Florblanca/Nectar…wow so genuinely nice and helpful always giving the best service. Wherever you are on the property I felt like someone was watching out for your needs. Just superior service and I so appreciated all their many small helpful gestures. The restaurant itself, the food was excellent. The seafood was so fresh. My favorite dish was the pasta with shrimp…so yummy! And their chips and dip…homemade pita chips with homemade guacamole (so good!), fresh salsa, this amazing bean deep, and cheese queso…I’m making myself hungry just thinking about it. Oh and the smoothies! Sooo good. My favorite was the Indulge. I had to take a pic of that recipe to take home. I would just like to give a special shout out to the people working at Florblanca/Nectar who made my stay there so wonderful: Ruth and Luis (extra special shout outs, thank you for the good conversations :), Kendall, Berneth, Yury, Lucy, Alison, Jose, Laura, and Oscar. Thank you again! I could not recommend this place more highly.
