We had read the positive revues in TripAdvisor but as we drove the 4km road off the highway began to wonder what I'd gotten us into. It's narrow and very rocky. Once there however we were very pleased we'd booked it. The three cottages are all very comfortable and clean. The pool area was beautiful. We were there five days... More

We stayed at the Blue Banyan Inn for three nights in March 2013 and had a wonderful experience. If you're looking for a standard hotel room next to town, this is not the place for you. But if you're looking for a unique experience, an inn "off the beaten path" (literally), a warm and friendly staff and wonderful accommodations---then definitely... More

We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed it very much. The breakfasts were very good and everyone was so friendly. The banana pancakes were really great as we had read in other reviews. Our room was one of the smaller ones, but was perfect for us. The grounds are very beautiful with lots of flowers. The view is incredible from the... More

My wife, 11 month-old, and I stayed at BBI for three nights over this past weekend. It was fantastic. The drive is slightly bumpier than a paved road, but the directions are very clear on the website. And, honestly, it's not very far...though you feel a world away. We will be coming back here when our son is older and... More

We had the good fortune to stay at Blue Banyan Inn while in Costa Rica. What a find...all thanks to trip adviser. We are a family of 5 adults and had 2 nights to fill before staying at a villa near Dominical. We found a cottage at Blue Banyan and we still cant believe how nice it was. We wanted... More

We only spent 1 night here, but we really enjoyed our stay. Yes, it is a drive from the main road and Quepos, but it's an easy one versus some spot we stayed at in the Monteverde area for example, the road is easy to drive back and forth. The villas are modern and clean, the bathroom was amazing, beds... More

We were greeted by a very chatty parrot, and the nice thing is -- its wings hadn't been clipped, and it was free to fly around anywhere. Blue Banyan is a bit off the beaten path, about 5 km drive through palm plantations. The road is quite rough, and the turn-off is not well-marked at the main highway. It's helpful... More

This is a clarification about the Blue Banyon, since although we had reservations, we did not end up staying there. We've given it a rating because Tripadvisor requires a rating before a review can be submitted, and the information that follows would have been helpful to us in making our plans. The Blue Banyon is a destination in itself, not... More

While our family of 5 (stayed in 2 of their cabins) stayed in plush high end lodges throughout Costa Rica, this was our favorite. While we all enjoyed our rooms, the experience as a whole was outstanding. Yes, it is far off the beaten path (and main road) but that adds to the experience. We were away from the crowds... More
