"The staff is really nice"

"The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Nice view of the lake and convenient to activities. They offer many excursion options including a night hike on the property. Would definitely stay again when in the area."

" This is one of those really special places that makes you sad to leave and wanting to return. The bungalows are simple yet really well thought out. There are special touches like fresh cut foliage in the bathroom and lots of surfaces to place your belongings. Each bungalow feels very private as they are situated in such a way that the private decks look over lush grounds. The hammock is a wonderful place to hang out and see wildlife. We saw many amazing things including toucans from our bungalow, and sloths by walking the grounds of this adorable place. We had beautiful breakfast delivered right to our door each morning. Everything was so delicious and you could feel the care and love cooked into each bite. The walking gardens were so natural and serene and private. For picky sleepers, like I normally am, the bed is firm and it's not pitch black or silent, but I didn't care as I left the drapes and window open and A/C off to hear the birds, the rustle of the palms and the nearby stream. Full immersion is where it is at. We truly loved this place and would definitely visit again. "

"I can say enough about how wonderful this property is. Werner and Carlos are fantastic hosts who were knowledgeable about everything in the area. They helped us make reservations and pointed us in the direction of great places. The room was large and comfortable with a large soaking tub and rain shower. The deck had a beautiful view,nice pool and visiting toucans. The breakfast made by Carlos was 5 star worthy!! I highly recommend this property! "

"Super friendly receptionist and very helpful! We stayed here so that we could be close to Tenorio Volcano National Park. The motel was clean and met basic needs. The attached restaurant was good and offered typical Costa Rican fare. We were not able to take advantage of the tours offered by at the motel but tubing looked like it would be fun."

"Everything "

"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. "

"The property was beautiful! We saw more birds on the property than we did at the nearby natiknal park. The food from the restaurant was excellent! A true highlight of our trip. The rooms were very clean and so was the entire property and the staff was very nice and helpful. Only negative of the property is a lack of heating/cooling in the rooms. The temperature was fine during our stay, mostly missed being able to get the room dry. We were soaked from our hike during the day and were never able to get fully dry, even after getting back to the hotel. "

"Mystica is an automatically relaxing spot with great food, great staff and very clean rooms. We will be back soon "
