"Excellent property!!! Enjoyed the stay!!!"

"The roads leading to the property are in bad shape with potholes and unpaved sections. It's better to have 4x4 to come through."

"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. "

"Friendly staff and beautiful garden and pool area! Outdoor/open air restaurant serves great food."

"We strongly recommend this property for families looking to experience a bit of forest resort life in Costa Rica. Regarding the hotel itself, the bathroom was excellent - strong water pressure and high-quality toiletries. The staff were very responsive; they immediately fixed the wifi after we let them know it wasn't working and delivered blankets after reception hours. Breakfast was outstanding with a buffet of hot, cold, sweet, and savory options (there was also an omelette bar). There was a fridge but no microwave (we booked a superior room). This resort shines in its waterfalls and thermal springs. The trails to the waterfalls were impeccably maintained with attendants on hand to keep an eye on cars, take family pictures, and monitor belongings if you would like to take a dip. The thermal pools (10 pools, volcanic mud, 2 cold showers) were outstanding; there are towels and lockers available at the trailhead and attendants watching over your belongings at the actual pools. The locker rooms to change into swimsuits were well-maintained and appointed. You can book all kinds of activities at reception, but we found the included ones to be sufficient."

"It was a great stay"

"Villa avec des employés très engagés à assurer notre bien-être. Belle vue pour le coucher du soleil. La piscine, mud bath et les thermales sont très bien entretenus. Point négatif : le transport vers les chambres se fait en véhicule à moteur, ce qui est tout à fait compréhensible étant donné l’éloignement des chambres par rapport à la réception, au restaurant et à la piscine. Cependant, d’un point de vue environnemental, ce n’est pas idéal. L’équipe devrait envisager de se doter d’une flotte de véhicules électriques."

"I have stayed with Hotel Guanacaste several times over the years when in Liberia.. Have noticed many improvements in that time. The hotel has always been cheap & affordable, centrally located, clean with reliable Wi-Fi. These are important to me and I will return as long as this is provided 😁"

"We enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was excellent. The pool and garden area is lovingly tended and is beautiful. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Plenty of hot water in the shower. Highly recommend if you want an authentic Costa Rican experience! "
