A group of 8 of us stayed at the Blue Banyan Jan 5-9 2012. Our group stayed in both the cabins as well as the larger and newer 3 story building. Unlike the reviewer 'Kallins' we had a lovely stay in the 3 story building. It was incredibly clean, well furnished, and an excellent place for a family. Jim and... More

We had such a fabulous time the first time we visited and returned with our friends. Barb and Jim are great hosts and so likable. We missed them this time as they were on their own vacation (they work hard with the monkeys they rehabilitate and deserve their vacation). We were the first guests after a few weeks of no... More

We stayed two nights in early January and found Blue Banyon enjoyably restful. There are three identical cottages. Simply decorated, and with unique stone showers. The beds -- well, they could be more comfortable -- and down comforters with duvets would be a great addition. I really dislike bedspreads -- knowing they aren't washed between guests. That said, sitting in... More

My husband and I were excited about our plans to travel to Costa Rica, but due to a family emergency, had to cancel our entire trip, including our stay at the Blue Banyan Inn. I want to thank the Blue Banyan for helping us as we rearrange our travel plans. I can't imagine booking a stay anywhere but here when... More

Unfortunately our stay at the “Blue Banian Inn” was not as expected. Having said that the location is very nice and quiet, the structure and his owners disappointed us. Our cottage looked shabby as the rest of the structure and a good clean at the hole place was needed. The first evening we discovered that we could not keep the... More

It is very unfortunate that our guest had a very bad experience at the BBI. As with all our guests we try very hard to make your stay a memorable one in a most positive sense. Unfortunately, in this case, it just didn't happen. On arrival our guest was very upset about his previous accomodation in Costa Rica and we... More

I would much prefer to post positive reviews, but I feel I must let you know about our experience at the Blue Banyan Inn. We were a party of 9 with 5 kids and 4 adults. We were told we would have an apartment for the adults and a room downstairs with bunkbeds for the kids. We were a bit... More

We are so sorry about your experience in the brand new building. We feel terrible about the smells, and we now have them resolved. The problem was that the building used new environmental technology for this country, both solar and low/high flush toilets. They are new here in Costa Rica and it was the first time the construction crew had... More

The Blue Banyan is set 5+ Km from the Quepos - Dominical highway, and is set in a lush valley. There are 3 cottages that all have wonderfull views of the valley and the well maintained gardens. There is no light pollution, so the evening skies provide a wonderous view of the heavens. There is a large, well designed pool... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Blue Banyan Inn for four nights in early December. To begin with we had some trouble finding the place (see below) but it was all worth it. There are only three cabins here, although they were in the process of completing a new three story structure. It will house the volunteers for the... More

Amazing location. The grounds are beautiful and the hosts couldn't have been nicer. Great facilities, pool, wifi, etc. Even droven us to town to catch our bus back to San Jose. They will help you with anything and were great just to sit and talk to. More
