I had a beautiful time at Florblanca Resort, though it wasn't without its hiccups. the stunning beach location and excellent staff really highlighted my stay. However, the restaurant could get overly crowded, impacting my dining experience. The spacious rooms and great wildlife sightings were definite perks, but I wished for a bit more privacy and variety in the menu.

I truly enjoyed my stay at Florblanca Resort! The hotel is beautiful, very well maintained, and boasts excellent service. While the cost of the rooms may be high, the dining experience and the spa made it worthwhile. However, I did find the rooms a bit dated for the price, as they could use some updates.

Rooms

The room had an exterior living area and bathroom that's open to nature, which was charming yet posed some challenges with raccoons visiting at night! While the bedroom was cooled and quite comfortable, I felt the overall room quality didn’t quite match the premium pricing.

My stay at Florblanca Resort was nothing short of magical! The resort's tropical decor, attentive service, and stunning beachfront location truly set the stage for an very nice vacation. The daily yoga classes with Master Teacher Stefano were a highlight for me, and the fresh food made every meal a delight. However, the outdoor living arrangements took some getting used to, and I wish the internet was more reliable. Overall, I can't wait to return!
