Our day trip, arranged through TAM Travel, took us to Blue River Resort. After a welcome drink our group divided in two. Four people did the canopy experience from the resort property while the rest of us drove a bit further to a trailhead leading to waterfalls and along the Blue River. (The river really is blue!) The walk was... More

My husband and I went here for our honeymoon, and it was a great way to start relaxing after the stress from wedding planning. We got picked-up from the airport via the resort's shuttle and someone was waiting there for us as soon as we got off the plane. The ride was pretty bumpy but worth it once we got... More

My family of four stayed at Blue River during Spring Break. It was very easy to get there from Liberia airport - just follow the signs. And, yes, the last part of your trip on the dirt road is definitely an adventure. I was praying our rental car would make it - and it did. Our first impression upon arriving... More

We stayed at BRR for 3 nights and found the surroundings beautiful and rooms to be very comfortable. There was one huge drawback and I will get into it first as many folks don’t read the whole review. The food was poor at best, sometimes I couldn’t even finish what I was served. On the first night I asked the... More

This place was recommended to us from the owners of the condo we stayed at in Tamarindo. It was the perfect complement to our beach experience in CR. The rooms were clean and nice, spacious and comfortable. We loved the hammock on the porch too. This resort is a work in progress but definitely well on it's way. We met... More

Blue River is an incredibly beautiful place with wonderful staff and amenities. My fiancee and I went there for the first part of our Costa Rica trip and expected the place to be a bit rustic because of the relatively low price. We were shocked at how nice of a place it is. The rooms are all very new, modern... More

This boutique hotel , is set in a fabulous tropical setting.Being in the tropical plant industry, this was a real treat for us. This region is much nicer vegetation wise then the Liberia area which we were in afterwards . Be prepared for a rather rough dirt road ride on the way to this hotel, but well worth it. The... More

The Blue River was the last stop on our trip and it was perrrrrfect. The hotel itself has absolutely beautiful, tropical grounds. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. The hotel was full while we were there but you couldn't tell at all. The included breakfasts were delicious. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful.... More

Beware - if you've chosen this hotel because it's near to the National Park, and you want to be able to explore the trails on your own you have chosen the wrong place to be. The only access they have to the Rincon de la Vieja park is through their own private property and is with one 7 hour guided... More

My three girlfriends and I just got back from Costa Rica this past Thursday. The first 3 nights were spent here. It is an excellant way to start your Costa Rican vacation. This is an extremely remote location, yet the resort has everything you need to be comfortable during your stay. The cabins were extremely spacious & clean. The bathroom... More
