The resort is clean, the staff is very nice and helpful. The cottages/rooms are huge and clean. The design of this place was just amazing. I loved the Botanical Garden, Butterfly Garden,... and the hot springs... they have four pools and we found that the temperature of the water is slight different in them and may be different at different...

We loved this place. After a week of surfing we decided to recuperate here before heading back to the states. What a great decision. The mineral bathes were amazing and so soothing. The kids love the slides and gardens. The food was fine a reasonable and the rooms were large and comfortable.

Blue River Resort went above and beyond what we imagined a little resort on the side of a mountain, in the jungle could offer. . The hot spring pools were great, they have several of different temps so both of us were happy. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The activity guides very knowledgable. The zip lining was great... More

My daughter and I spent the day at the spa/gardens/pools/zip lines. It was the best adventure. We were a bit cautious at first but did it all and had a great adventure. It was a long ride to the resort but well worth it and a beautiful ride. Food very good.

We stayed for a night at this beautiful facility. The only issue we had was actually finding the place. The GPS we had rented could not locate the resort. My wife and I had consulted Google maps to find this resort. Unfortunately, it appears that the resort's location was not properly entered into Google's database. We arrived much later than... More

We stayed for a night. Lovely, spacious rooms, they have a lot of luxuries (double comfy bed, satellital tv, AC, big bathroom, mini walking closet). Beautiful gardens. We loved the hot springs pooles and the "tobogán" (don't know the word in English). The restaurant's menu is a bit basic, but food was really good. Staff is very helpful and kind.... More

Thoroughly researched this vendor before our trip. Loved the remote location and what they have to offer. Be prepared for a minimum 1 hr ride on a fairly rough road in and out of the area. Totally enjoyed the accommodations....very large rooms and our canopy tour. Our trip turned sour after our second meal there. Three in our party became... More

The tropical grounds blew us away. Great example of flora/fauna right out the door. Every morning we would hike the trails on our coffee walk, seeing a wide array or bird life and plants. The butterfly garden is also a hit. A variety of hot and cool spring pools was nice for relaxing at the end of the day. Food... More
