“Great Experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

Hotel Blue Conga is amazing. THe property is very well maintained and the pool is a hidden oasis. I loved the breakfast and common area. The room was extemely well decorated with many luxuries that are harder to find in the area. The staff was also very accomodating!

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a Balcony upstairs to experience the surrounding jungle and avoid any foot traff...

“An Oasis of Calm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

This place run by a lovely French couple can only be highly recommended. The location is ideal, just outside the town, so not noisy if things get rowdy (which they never did when we were there), and yet walking distance to everything. There is a really lovely pool and relaxing lounge area, mornings are a delight, when dawn breaks and the wildlife starts moving, sitting by the pool just marvelling at the beauty of it all I did not want to leave. All the recommendations for restaurants were winners, there are bikes for hire and a multi-lingual library of books you can borrow during your stay. We stayed an extra night we liked it so much!

“Friendly stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

I stayed at Hotel Blue Conga for 5days at the start of my Costa Rica adventure. I arrived later than planned (nightmare bus journey) and they were expecting me. If arriving by public bus, get a taxi (really cheap) to the hotel, its a bit too far with your bags. I made my reservations a while before my arrival, - standard room suits me fine - I was given a room with bunkbeds. I didn't have a table/chair or hammock either on the porch either so I was a little disappointed. The room was large so that wasn't an issue, and I had a decent hot water shower. It was ground floor and facing the entrance to drive. They were cutting down trees in the bordering fence so I initally felt vulnerable, however that was short lived. The resident dog was very friendly and would sit on the porch/verandah. The hotel pool looked lovely, the dining area was inviting, and there was hammocks/relaxing seating area. The Breakfasts were outstanding, a great start to the day. I hired a bicycle from the hotel every day to get around - perfect. The location is great as you are an easy walk/cycle from the centre, but also far enough not to be bothered by any of the night noises (except the wildlife of course!!). The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. I would recommend Hotel Blue Conga.

“my back STILL hurts”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013 via mobile

lovely staff, and a very good location to town, BUT the bed was SO uncomfortable i woke up w/a stiff neck & aching back every day - which by the way was 6am since the walls are so thin you can hear your neighbor clear their throat :-/ and since they are hot tiny boxlike rooms - u must keep your windows open to breath, and then the staff starts working around 7am, so you have NO chance of sleeping in on your "vacation". i was very surprised this hotel was rated #2 on tripadvisor. you can get an uncomfortable bed & a broken toilet almost anywhere in the area for 1/2 the price.

Thank you for letting us have this rank after a bad stay you had with us. Sometimes the circumstances are not favorable and we accept your criticism. Blue Conga was complete and undergoing technical problems, to be settled immediately by lack of availabilities. But this is the first time someone complains about the bed with orthopedic mattress. We also accept, because everyone is accustomed to its own choice. It is unfortunate that you do not accept before your departure our range of a superior room at the same price. You were angry and we were not able to communicate, which is unusual in our hotel. The price we received this year is closely linked to the conviviality and the personalized service we are trying to give. We can not do the unanimity and we meet sometimes differences in philosophy. Our mind does not fit to everyone and also the reverse. We are realy sorry.

“Fantastic Place to Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

We stayed here at the beginning of January. The rooms are clean, nice and simple. The location is the best, a quick 10 minute walk from the center but far enough from the center to relax and get peace and quiet. The grounds are beautifully kept and are calm and soothing -it was a real treat to wake up and have breakfast served outside. The owners leave the fridge stocked with beer and water to be paid for on the honor system. He also left us our breakfast for us to go the last morning when we left earlier than breakfast was served. (Something I have never seen before) Over all a fantastic place to stay!

Room Tip: The rooms upstairs are the best.
