Returned from CR on Feb 12 and spent our last 2 nights at the Blue River Resort. Both we and the the kids (5 and 7 yo) had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms are large and clean, the property is beautiful and the staff is extremely friendly. The pools and mud bath were great for... More

We visited from UK Costa Rica is not the easiest of places to get to from UK nor is it cheap. We however made it and drove to Blue River to say it was fun drive would be an understatement but we enjoyed it even though is was raining Cats and Dogs, the one thing that did not worry us... More

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at BRR last week. We had a great experience while there. The cabins were large, clean and well-appointed with a big-screen TV, and huge bathroom/shower area. The restaurant was lovely with great American and native dishes (They are planning to build a larger restaurant near the front gate by next year). Victor was... More

The mistake? Only staying one night was the mistake. We should have booked at least three, or more. After arriving there and seeing the facilities, it was apparent that this is a very special destination. Our group consisted of 6 people, staying in 3 rooms. The rooms were incredibly spacious, more like small cabins, and would easily accommodate 4 adults... More

Spent 2 nights at the BRR earlier this month. First of all, you need to know that despite being so close to the Rincon de la Vieja volcano and national park, you can only visit both through the main entrance, the one close to Liberia. So you're 90 minutes drive away from this. We even tried to get a guide... More

Thank you for your feedback. Service is priority #1 and we'll work on this. I'm sorry that you would not return because there are many activities left to take part in. From Blue River Resort, our hike to the summit of Rincon de la Vieja begins 10 minutes away. We offer a differrent (we think, superior experience) than from the... More

Just returned from Costa Rica last week, last three nights at the beautiful Blue River Resort in the Rincon area. This is a must return location. Wonderful staff, very reasonable day excursions with english speaking guides. Large rooms, internet free but spotty due to remote location in the mountains. We enjoyed the restaurant staff and the friendliness of the local... More

A fine new resort with exceptional guides for tours of the rainforest on the property and for the hikes through rainforest toward volcano. Rooms are large, rustic and comfortable. The volcanic mud bath was highly refreshing, as were the various mineral pools. The staff bent over backwards to meet our needs; very helpful. The roadways toward the property (a short... More

I just returned from Costa Rica and stayed at the Blue River Resort for several days. It was an amazing destination way up in the mountains near a volcano. The landscaping was astounding in its diversity and color. There were several warm and hot springs fed from the natural volcano springs that course down the mountain. The rooms were located... More

A wonderful new resort (only 1 year old). Incredibly tasteful modern design all around. The suites are huge, the hot mineral pools are clean and built inside the jungle setting. Beautiful art work everywhere. The food in the restaurant is outstanding. They offer good tours to the waterfalls, zip lines, hiking up to the volcano etc. The staff is very... More
