Relaxing Mud Baths

The volcanic mud experience was really enjoyable! It was fun to apply the mud and feel rejuvenated. The hot springs area was beautiful, with three pools of different temperatures. I loved relaxing in the hot pool while surrounded by nature.

Delicious Dining Experiences

We had some fantastic meals at the restaurant! The Costa Rican breakfast was included and was utterly good. I also enjoyed the nachos and burritos by the snack bar; Eduardo is a fantastic cook! Room service was incredibly fast too.

Comfortable Bungalows

We stayed in a spacious junior suite that felt like a cozy little house. It was well-equipped with cold AC, a king-size bed, and very nice privacy. The view from the top of the hill was amazing!

Adventurous Activities

The horseback riding tour to the waterfalls was a highlight of our stay. The horses were well-trained and the views during the ride were stunning. It's a must-do if you visit, especially when combined with ziplining!

I had a lovely experience at Borinquen, perfect for a short and peaceful getaway. The villas are beautifully situated in the hills and offer privacy and comfort. The staff were generally welcoming and helpful, but I did encounter one rude waiter. The limited dining options were a bit disappointing, as were some instances of service. Overall, the property is stunning with plenty of activities to enjoy.

This hotel offers a unique experience with stunning nature and great activities, but it's a bit isolated with expensive dining options. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but some areas could use maintenance. The wildlife sightings are incredible, and the spa facilities are a highlight, although the service can be inconsistent. Overall, it's a memorable stay if you’re looking for peace and quiet in a natural setting.

While some staff provided great service, I felt that getting helpful information about local wildlife and activities was lacking. It seemed like they wanted us to book everything through them instead of giving us guidance.

The hotel is beautifully set in nature, surrounded by wildlife and beautiful landscapes. However, reaching the hotel requires navigating old dirt roads, which may not be ideal for everyone.

The food was decent but on the pricey side, given there were limited options because of the hotel's remoteness. The breakfast choices could be improved, but I did enjoy the fresh bread.

Borinquen is a beautiful resort located on the side of a mountain, offering stunning views and clean accommodations. The mineral pools and hot springs are incredibly relaxing, though the dining experience fell short in terms of meal consistency. While the staff is friendly, I found the pricing for meals and drinks to be quite high for Costa Rica. Overall, it's a unique getaway, but some aspects could definitely be improved.

The service was generally excellent; the staff went out of their way to remember our names and preferences. However, they seemed a bit intent on directing us to their excursions instead of offering helpful tips for exploring on our own.

Location

The resort is situated on a steep slope, so getting around can be a workout! The views are absolutely breathtaking, but the isolated location may be difficult for those with mobility issues.

Dining

The mineral pools and volcanic mud baths were definitely a highlight and provided a unique spa-like experience. However, they could use a bit of improvement in terms of the comfort of poolside seating.
