The hotel check in was easy. The room was clean and grounds were immaculately groomed. My kids especially loved the water slide! There was a sloth hanging out in a tree behind our room during our stay. We also saw lots of monkeys while soaking in the Jamaica pool. The restaurant was not our favorite of the trip, but the second night we visited Cocina de Mayrita for dinner based on another review. It was a highlight of the trip!! It was an amazing dining experience. Be sure to bring cash and an appetite!

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.

This is the most magical place! When you’re done frolicking in all the different pools nestled amongst the most beautiful gardens and taking advantage of all the unique and free amenities and sites on the property you can have a delicious dinner and cocktails on site. I can’t wait to go back! It’s a rocky ride from Liberia though, make sure you rent a 4x4!

The resort is amazing and unique. The grounds are breathtaking. The cabins are awesome. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is lots to do. The wifi is spotty and the road to the property is very tricky to drive on - a 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended with an experienced driver at the wheel. Once you get to the resort, though, you’ll be happy you came.

Blue River Resort is a really lovely place, the gardens are beautiful and a nice walk even in the rain (it IS a rain forest - so you have to expect it!). There are different pools, both hot and fresh water, very nice to float in the heat! The restaurant has good food, excellent service! The rooms are nice, like a cottage, very large and quite comfortable.

We booked a villa. The water in the shower was cold, every time we opened the faucet, the electricity flickered. We had a power outage. The curtains in the room fell from a height. Only one restaurant was open and they hurried to close it to go home. We really didn't enjoy ourselves, we ran away early in the morning
