I wasn't sure that any hotel could be worth it from the treacherous road required to get to the inn, but it totally was. Three lovely cottages on tons of land meant that we felt like we had the place all to ourselves. Tons of room in our place with nice, separated areas to make it feel more like home.... more

We spent 3 nights at the Blue Banyan Inn (April 19, 20 & 21) in the middle of our first trip to Costa Rica. What a wonderful, relaxing, beautiful and friendly place to stay! Barb and Jim were so welcoming and helpful. Our family of 5 occupied one of the spacious, well decorated cabinas, another was occupied by another family... more

OK, so this might not come as a surprise to you after reading all the other reviews, but this is one of the best parts of our trip. We are a family with two little kids and every one of thoroughly enjoyed the trip (including my 18mo old). There are only three or so cottages and every one has a... more

My wife and I stayed at the Blue Banyan for 3 nights earlier this month and it was truly one of the best decisions we made on a great trip to Costa Rica. The view of the distant mountains from our cottage was spectacular, as were the stars at night while we swam in the outdoor pool. We were the... more

$ Strongly agree with all the comments previous guest posted. It is not your average Costa Rica hotel. It is definitely designed with taste and high standard. It far exceeded our expectation in terms of views, room, facility, hospitality, nature, breakfast, famous banana pancakes .... $ If you like nature and animals, this is the place to stay. They are... more

Barb & Jim have really outdone themselves for our son's wedding on April 4, 2009. I highly recommend it for future wedding groups who want a destination wedding to remember. We were a group of 60 and every person who commented said it was the best wedding meal they had ever eaten, not to mention the incredible site there at... more

We absolutely loved our stay at the Blue Banyan Inn recently. Barb and Jim were fabulous hosts and were the icing on the cake at this amazing place. They hosted our family and nephew's wedding reception recently and it was perfect! We loved our views, the pool, the food, all the great information about the area and the animals, especially... more

In the midst a rather busy town, co-mingled with tourists and inhabitants, the Blue Banyan Inn is a wonderfully hidden gem of relaxation and true Costa Rican beauty. We can't wait to return as 3 days was not enough time to enjoy Jim, Barb, the Inn and the surrounding areas of Quepos and Manuel Antonio. We will re-emphasize that guests... more
