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.

We were so pleased with the thermal pools. No smell. We had them almost to ourselves mid February and thought the temp was perfect- the fresh water pool with slide was too cold tho. The property had lovely gardens and butterflies and sauna. Worth the sketchy roads we did at night not realizing we’d have to leave pavement for an hour or more @ 20 mph max

Blue River is great. The grounds are beautiful, the room is nice with a comfortable bed, and the hammock on the patio was perfect for relaxing. The free breakfast in the morning is great, along with the rest of the menu. I love the volcanic mud, the natural thermal pool sauna, and the butterfly garden. This was my 2nd stay here & I will def be back again!

The resort itself was nice. You had a private cabin that was kept clean and the property had much to explore in terms of pools and gardens. The real amenity of this property is its proximity to Cocina de Mayrita - which is the most delicious food I’ve had in Costa Rica and probably ever. Maybe 10 mins away from the resort, their cheap food and amazing hospitality makes the stay worth it. Not much else nearby. Food at the resort was alright, but wouldn’t stay more than a few nights.
