"adventure family"
if you like the outdoors and have an adventurous family, you will like Blue River. make sure to get the guided waterfall excursion - make sure to take your swimsuit and swim under the falls. 30-60 minute drive on a fairly tough dirt road...only way up. staff was great. the hotsprings pools were nice - kid friendly.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"blue paradise"

"Worth every penny."
It was a beautiful hotel, located right in front of the volcano. Every morning spectacular views and cool breezes mixed with the Costa Rican sun. The grounds were beautiful with tons to see and do. We went tubing and on the zip line during our stay. Would go back in a heart beat.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"awesome"
We didn't like that you have to drive 20km on a dirt road only to show up and see a lobby that's still under construction. However, every single other thing about this hotel is excellent. The service is impeccable, the activities are lots of fun, and everything you could want from a hotel is done to the best of their abilities.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nos encanto y regresaremos!"
Las cabañas son preciosas y las duchas super comodas, grandes y de buena presion (lo cual fue dificil encontrar en Costa Rica). Las piscinas deliciosas! A nuestro hijo de casi 2 años le encanto el tobogan de agua (claro que siempre se tiro con nosotros!). Los guias en las excursiones (a caballo y a pie) no pudieron ser mejores! Ronald es increible, […] paciente, y sabe muchisimo de TODO! Maria y Villa (esposo de Maria) siempre hicieron lo maximo para que nuestro viaje fuera de lo mejor. De verdad lo unico agridulce fur que como estabamos con nuestro chiquitin, no pudimos hacer zipline (canopy), pero ya lo haremos en otra oportunidad!El lugar es magico y el camino emocionante...nos encanto toda la experiencia!

"Hotel paradisiaco"
Como explica el título, hotel espectacular, bien equipado, excelentes habitaciones, situación paradisíaca. Sólo un par de comentarios: - No había internet inalámbrico tal y como se anuncia, en las habitaciones no hay ninguna señal. Nosotros en lo particular no lo echamos de menos pues este hotel a lo que invita es a la desconexión total, pero considero […] que las descripciones deben ser ajustadas a la realidad. - El hotel está situado, efectivamente, en las faldas del volcán del Rincón de la Vieja, pero no está en ningún modo cercano a las dos entradas a este parque (Pailas y Santa María). En otras palabras, no recomiendo utilizar este hotel como base para visitar el parque nacional por las entradas mencionadas, sí como estancia de fin de semana o si se desea conocer el parque con las excursiones que el propio hotel proporciona.
