My husband and I stayed at this resort the first 3 nights of our trip. The road getting there is very rough and curvy and it took forever to get there! The resort was quite empty but did pick up a bit Christmas day as more people arrived. A lot of people just do the day tour there which includes... more

The Hotel Borinquen was just lovely. My husband and I spent the first two nights of our honeymoon there. When we stayed at the hotel during the rainy season plus there was a tropical depression in Hondorous which caused a lot of rain but we enjoyed our stay anyway. We rented a car from Liberia airport and drove up there.... more

This was not really what we expected at all!! It could have been our lack of research or the fact that it was the rainy season but we didn’t like this place much. We actually cancelled our reservation after checkin which ill get into below. We took the long drive up the mountain, very sketchy but somewhat adventurous. The road... more

Traveling to Costa Rica for the first time by wife and I chose this hotel for our first 3 days of our 10 day trip. We rented a 4x4 in Liberia and after making the turn off the main road encountered a long (approx 18 KM) but unique drive up to the Borinquen. Drove through several small towns which was... more

My family including 2 kids ages 12 and 9 stayed for 2 nights in the JR. Suite. The Suite itself was sumptuous but we were disappointed that there was a pull out couch and not 2 beds which was not specified when we booked the room. We paid 429.00/night huge in Costa Rica standards. The grounds are meticulous and we... more

There are things to love about this place and things to come home disgruntled about. Overall, the pros outnumber the cons! It has a beautiful rural setting - cows grazing on rolling hills, bird song at dawn, and amazing volcanic mud pools hissing and bubbling and spewing sulphur smelling gas into the air. Dont worry about the sulphur smell- there's... more

We stayed 3 nights at the Borinquen and overall we were impressed. The staff was very helpful and accomodating. We opted for the lowest priced Villa and were very happy with our choice. The grounds were very beautiful, the pool area looked great. Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to use the pool because we were out most of... more

Spouse and I and 36 others stayed here 2 nights as part of a tour. Incredible location, on side vent of active volcano - which supplies hot pools & sulfur mud and sauna in middle of dry coastal forest. However, it is a 1 hour ride mostly on an unpaved rutted/stony road from main Hwy ( #1). The ride is... more

The Hotel Borinquen is not near anything. Once you leave the main road around Liberia, you're on some really bad roads for quite some time. But when you arrive, the scenery is really magnificent. And though this place is far from civilization, it really has everything you could ask for right on its grounds. We were two couples and we... more
