Grounds were lovely and included a butterfly enclosure and an orchid garden which was not in bloom but was still very lovely. The 5 pools were the highlight of the grounds with the natural Hot Springs being our favorites. It was not crowded when we went so we had the pools to ourselves each time. There is also a very cool natural sauna type room which was really neat but my glasses fogged up so I didn't spend as much time in it as I might have otherwise. At reception they can arrange a lot of different outings and we took advantage of going to the cathedral waterfall which was a short walk from the hotel but because we were across the river we did need the guides who were great. For food, I have Celiac disease and while there were no GF markings on the menu I felt the staff went out of their way to provide me safe options and food. They even were able to bring me a gluten-free breakfast one morning without charging me since the free Continental breakfast does not have any options but fruit for those who need to eat gluten-free. Finally, the Blue River cocktail was delicious! Cons: the food overall was not good. I did like my breakfast of potatoes and bacon but for dinner it is very basic and cafeteria like. I had mashed potatoes and the sea bass night 1\. The sea bass was so overcooked that I picked it up by hand and ate it like jerky- it was crispy! Chicken night 2 was no better. ##### Bobbie Jo Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle May 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Rustic charm in the rainforest Rustic and wonderful!! Various soaking options, beautiful grounds & flowers & butterflies and flora and fauna. We even saw a sloth and howler monkeys. Massages therapist has magic hands! We would def stay here again. Be prepared to travel far on bumpy road. Food was great off the ball inclusive menu. People soooo friendly! ##### Michelle Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim Dec 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful people at this property. From the moment we arrived, everyone was friendly, helpful and willing to make our time memorable. Costa Rica is a special place-Blue River encompasses that. I would definitely come back and we were so happy our first time in CR was here. ##### Kim Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie Jan 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything from beginning to end was amazing!!

The gardens and pools were lovely and secluded. The staff went above and beyond. The first day our children asked for syrup with their pancakes and it wasn’t available, so the next day, sure enough-syrup for our pancakes! It’s the little things that stand out! It’s secluded, but that’s part of the charm ☺️ ##### Krystyna Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dorothy Jan 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
