"We loved the blue river hotel! Very cute little space tucked away in the national volcanic area of La Fortuna. They have multiple hot springs as well. You definitely need an all wheel drive to go up to the area! Also staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this spot."
"Beautiful room and the staff were friendly and very helpful. They let us leave our bags before and after while we went on tours which was a nice bonus."
"This resort is amazing. You are so close to all the activities you would want to do!
We came here for a girls trip and were not disappointed. We went tubing in the river, zip lining in the forest canyon, horse back riding, the national park with boiling mud beds 👀 and saw waterfalls that took our breath away! All of this is on the property that shuttles can take you too if you did not rent a vehicle. Plus restaurants on site and unforgettable service!
Would recommend for families, solo travelers, traveling with a group or a couple.
Such a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Would recommended"
