The hotel room and property were very beautiful. We stayed in the private room with a hot tub (all the way at the top). The staff at the front desk weren’t super welcoming, but the staff everywhere else were awesome! Especially Danny, he made us feel welcome and we hardly had to wait anytime we needed picked up. The food for breakfast and dinner was fantastic! Our big complaint was not being able to drive to our room and the hot springs were very stinky (not the case in other hot springs that we have gone to in the area - so definitely figure out the source of the hot springs when booking). Overall this was a nice place that seemed very family friendly. Beware if you go during high time as the transportation is definitely going to be an issue then.

Big, clean rooms. Excellent breakfast and dinner menu. Friendly staff. It is a 2 minute walk up beach, this beach is quite rustic and a few more minutes to walk to more sandy beach. My only con was the outdoor grounds could have used a power wash and the pool sitting area was dirty and slimy.

This was an amazing property. Beautiful location and great service. Plenty of activities! Even on a rainy days, you can enjoy the sauna and hot springs. The swimming pool was enjoyable and we saw monkeys in the trees while we were at the pool and restaurant. The property is beautiful. I enjoyed walking everywhere, but there was also a shuttle service available. I definitely plan on going back again!

This place is an absolute gem! I will give a detailed an honest review of Borinquen: Communication - 5/5 Throught whatsapp i was able to communicate directly with stafff before we got there. We organized our transportation through whatsapp with detailed info. They answered all my little questions about Drone usage, excursions, and general inquiry. Even when we were at the resort already, this was the best way to reach them as well. Faciltiies - 5/5 This place is magical. Because it is in the mountains and the foliage is so beautiful. We went during rainy season, which we expected a drizzle here and there, and this is what made the place lush is that tropical rain that comes and goes and helps cool the place down. Loved our bungalow it was so cozy and felt luxurious. The balcony was a generous size and i even filmed my yoga content here! What a beautiful backdrop for my videos! Lets not forget the natural thermal pools that heated up the natural saunas and the volcanic mud experience. This was just cherry on the cake! Excursions, spa, and staff -10/10 The costa rican culture is seen in the rooms, in nature, and also in the warmth of the locals there. Gave this many stars ⭐️ as no words can describe the experience. We did the 4 senses tour, with a guide that made us feel so comfortable with the horses. An unforgettable experience going up the mountains seeing the volcano while horseback riding. Bring bug she ray this ia non negotiable! Now the spa is just a dream! The view!

The resort is very nice for a relaxing trip. Food options are good and the best part is the thermal hot springs and pool facilities. Getting to the resort is bit of a drive from the airport and you should have a vehicle otherwise it is very remote.

Everything was perfect and all employees were courteous except the ladies at reception that work in the morning I believe one of the girls name is Sofia and her attitude is so bad and doesn’t even greet customers acts as if she eats scorpions on a daily basis passing the poison to customers. I have stayed at borinquen 3 times and next time I go if they are still there at check in I will definitely bring it to their attention about their bad attitudes.

The property is majestic, the staff capable and always ready to assist. The staff that maintain the property are so kind and amazing at their jobs. They have passion for the property and are experts at what they do. This property is unique as you get to enjoy all the amenities while looking at monkeys, lizards, birds, panthers, etc. In their natural habitat. The drive to the resort is part of the experience as you are on a road to a wonderful adventure.

This is a beautiful resort that is a bit far from town but very lovely and quiet. They have wonderful staff that are happy to help you. There are events to that you can do while on the property- I did a horseback ride to the "top of the world" with my kids. It was wonderful, and we saw 2 waterfalls as well. The resort has a nice trail where you can see a fumerole- steam and hot water coming from the ground- and bubbling mud too. There is ziplining and plenty of food choices at the restaurant. They all spoke English and were so kind to my family. I didn't try the spa but I'm sure it's top notch too.

The resort is peaceful and clean. Most staff was friendly. We only had one unpleasant experience. On Tuesday, the twelfth. I think his name was Eric. My husband stayed he spoke to him rudely. I loved Jose Maria and Genesis! They are genuinely kind and friendly. I would love to go back, however, the road leading to the resort is very rough! You almost need a 4 x 4. It’s a dirt road and lots of curves and narrow! I can not imagine it when it rains. I also noticed some small worms in the room. I didn’t mind it since the resort is out in nature. I think they were harmless. The pool is very beautiful and so is the dining area.
