Very nice Hot Springs

The hot spring pools at Blue River Resort were a highlight of my visit. There were three well-maintained pools with varying temperatures, allowing me to find the perfect spot to relax. I enjoyed hours of soaking while surrounded by amazing tropical flora. The peaceful atmosphere made it easy to unwind, especially with a few other guests around. It felt like a personal oasis!

Delicious and Varied Menu

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food at the resort. From the traditional Costa Rican breakfast to the club sandwich for lunch, everything was tasty. One night, I couldn't resist trying the chicken from the dinner menu, and it was fantastic. Meals were served in a beautiful open-air rancho, making dining feel like a special experience.

Comfortable and Spacious Cabins

I stayed in a cabin that was both spacious and well-furnished, featuring a cozy double bed and a large bathroom. The rustic decor added to the charm, and I loved having a front porch with a hammock where I could relax. The mini-fridge and coffee maker were perfect for a longer stay, allowing me to enjoy my morning coffee while basking in nature.

This resort spa is truly a magical retreat! Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, I found the accommodations comfortable and the amenities exceptional. The emphasis on wellness with yoga sessions and healing pools was delightful, but it is a bit remote, which might not suit everyone. Overall, great value for money considering the unique experiences offered.

I had a fantastic experience at this beautiful resort tucked away in the lush rainforest. The grounds and hot pools were stunning, providing a great atmosphere for relaxation. Although I found the rooms to be a bit dark and the bed not very comfortable, my overall stay was enjoyable. Just be mindful of the shower pressure, which was quite low during my visit. The restaurant offered good value and the staff were attentive, making it a pleasant experience overall.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort! The grounds were immaculate and full of beautiful flowers, and the hot springs were delightful. However, the room had a damp smell that was hard to get rid of, and breakfast was the best part of the dining, while lunch and dinner were just okay. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, but some improvements could make it even better.
