Hotel Blue River Resort & Hot Springs
Rincon de la Vieja, 50101 Liberia, Costa Rica – Good location – show map
Everyone was so friendly and felt like it was a real escape away.
United States of AmericaThe tours were very good, resort grounds are exceptional, food was just okay, needs improvement. Being in the rain forest was a great experience, and we certainly had a lot of rain, but it didn’t stop us from having a wonderful time here. Our entire group of nine, three generations, all thought it was a great experience.
United States of AmericaIf you like remote properties, this is the place for you. The grounds are well kept, the staff is friendly, the food is excellent and we loved our spa treatments.
United States of AmericaSwimming pools, gardens, ducks, small horses... and all amenities are very good.
Costa RicaThe grounds are amazing - the hot pools were cleaned regularly and just beautifully landscaped. The gardens were outstanding - and all of it right there on the property. We went on an exhilarating hike to the cathedral waterfall - safety was upmost and the time in the waterfall was stupendous.
United States of AmericaBlue River Resort is magical. The staff are super friendly and very accommodating. The facilities are excellent and you really get to immerse into the wilderness. Kevin, the tour guide, was very nice and super friendly, he made the dino experience incredible. The staff from the restaurant were so nice, helpful, and kind. My 2-year-old baby boy was very happy with them; they did everything they could to make my son happy. The place is perfect for couples, family, and even solo travelers looking for adventure and some peace.
Costa RicaYou will love it here! The tours and the Jungle landscape is incredible
United States of AmericaThe resort had everything we wanted! The prices were also very reasonable for the tours and food. We went on a tour that included horseback riding, zip lining, and a hike to a waterfall all in one day! The grounds were beautiful and we saw four toucans and many parrots just walking around. We also enjoyed soaking in the hot springs and doing a volcanic mud bath that is all included at the resort.
United States of AmericaThe grounds. It’s like the botanical gardens, only better. Much better! Hot spring pools - spectacular!
United States of AmericaThe staff was very friendly and the location is beautiful.
