"We enjoyed our stay! It was comfortable, rustic and basic needs were met. Nothing fancy. Restaurant was yummy. Free breakfast was good typical Costa Rican food. Many activities available. Spa service, mud baths, horseback riding, rock climbing all available. Nice poolside bar."

"Great staff! Loved sound of running brook by the cabin."

"Loved the day pass option for all the activities. "

"Wonderful people at this property. From the moment we arrived, everyone was friendly, helpful and willing to make our time memorable. Costa Rica is a special place-Blue River encompasses that. I would definitely come back and we were so happy our first time in CR was here. "

"We strongly recommend this property for families looking to experience a bit of forest resort life in Costa Rica. Regarding the hotel itself, the bathroom was excellent - strong water pressure and high-quality toiletries. The staff were very responsive; they immediately fixed the wifi after we let them know it wasn't working and delivered blankets after reception hours. Breakfast was outstanding with a buffet of hot, cold, sweet, and savory options (there was also an omelette bar). There was a fridge but no microwave (we booked a superior room). This resort shines in its waterfalls and thermal springs. The trails to the waterfalls were impeccably maintained with attendants on hand to keep an eye on cars, take family pictures, and monitor belongings if you would like to take a dip. The thermal pools (10 pools, volcanic mud, 2 cold showers) were outstanding; there are towels and lockers available at the trailhead and attendants watching over your belongings at the actual pools. The locker rooms to change into swimsuits were well-maintained and appointed. You can book all kinds of activities at reception, but we found the included ones to be sufficient."

"The property itself was beautiful. The road leading to it was very rough and the transportation vehicles were in rough shape. If the transportation vehicles were upgraded and the road leading to the resort was paved or at the very least graded, then this place would be"

"Rinconcito is remote. Costa Rica’s roads are horrible. But once you get to Rinconcito, you’re in a stunningly beautiful area. The staff were great, the room was perfect, the food options were good and tasted great. We wish we had scheduled more time there so that we could have explored the property itself. In the full day, we had there, we had Rinconcito’s guide, Walter, take us to both sections of Rincón de la Vieja, which was AWESOME."

"Our stay at Eladio's Place was great! The rustic charm of the property gave it a cozy, authentic feel, while having all the essentials needed for a comfortable stay. Eladio was an exceptional host; he genuinely cared about our experience and wanted us to fully enjoy his beautiful country. Whenever we needed anything—even the smallest request—Eladio was quick to help and ensure we had what we needed. His hospitality made our trip memorable. I highly recommend Eladio's Place to anyone looking for a delightful getaway! Thank you, Eladio, for a fantastic stay!"
