Blue River Resort and Hot Springs

The room was amazing! The views stunning! I did not mind the long unpaved road because the scenery was spectacular. We did two different excursions while staying with Blue River. The first was the white water rafting and I can't express how fantastic the guides were and I would highly reccommend this excursion, our kids are 12 and 14 and they both loved it. The second excursion was the rafting, it was fun too but the river just a little shallow because of the dry season but still had a good time. The ladies at the front desk of Blue River have a difficult time understanding any concerns and were not always very helpful. They were polite but could not understand a simple question or request. The food for breakfast and dinner was good. We tried many different menu items and everything was good. The gentlemen(waiter ) in the restaurant was very friendly and helpful. We had an air condintioning problem and the maintance manager was more than helpful. The unit was leaking and unfortunately ruined my daughters ipod charger and they gave us a credit for the amount of the charger. The grounds were beautiful and it was an amazing experience.

The room was VERY large, great balcony w/hammock, large bathroom/shower and closet, safe in the room but felt very safe at this location and did not feel we needed to use the safe. The grounds were beautiful and the hot spring pools amazing! Mud bath included in your room rate and it feels great and refreshing. Butterfly garden, orchid and humming bird walk were beautiful! There is only one restaurant/bar and make sure if you arrive late you have snacks, drinks and water because the restaurant bar closes early. The roads are a bit rough getting to this location and highly recommend 4-whl drive. You can make it in a car but it would take a really long time and I can imagine would be very rough. Other than the resort, there is not much around in the way of restaurants, shops or bars....pretty much nothing else. So after a few nights we were a little tired of the same restaurant for every meal but they do offer a great selection and the food was tasty. The staff were very friendly especially in the restaurant/bar and the resort offered many different tours such as zip line, horses and hikes. This resort was very family/couples oriented and would not recommend for singles looking to party. We had a great time relaxing at this resort and would highly recommend it to others!

After a rough trip (lost taxi driver), stepping into our cabana was blissful. Suddenly, we were surrounded by lush landscaping, birds chirping and frogs croaking. Every cabin has a hammock on the porch along with 2 rocking chairs. The hot spring pools were delightful and so were the staff. Greta in reception and Victor in the restaurant were stand-outs. We met one of the owners Kevin during our stay and he appreciated our input and told us about their future plans. Overall we spent 3 nights there and revitalized ourselves immensely. The restaurant food was delicious and considering that you pretty much have to eat there, the prices were not over-priced but rather in an Applebee's price range. Just don't leave anything at home, it is a long trip to town.
