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.

Rooms

The room was spacious and comfortable, designed like a little apartment with a large bedroom and a huge bathroom. However, the shower could use an update.
Service

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.

This resort offers an incredible blend of natural beauty and adventure, making it a great choice for those seeking a unique experience. The surroundings are stunning, and the activities like horseback riding and zip-lining are simply thrilling. However, some aspects like the rustic accommodations and a few service hiccups left something to be desired. Overall, it's a memorable place to visit, especially for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

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.

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.
