I'd give this place 5 Stars except for the horrible accident that occurred on their zipline and their lack of concern or accountability. My wife severely injured her leg on their zipline. The guide did not throw out the brake and she wasn't strong enough to stop herself with the "brake" they provide (which is not much more than a... More

We came here for an excursion because we wanted to go to a volcano but Arenal was over 3 hours from our resort at the RIU Palace. We absolutely loved it. It was very quiet, I think we only saw one couple actually staying at the resort. We were a group of about 25 people. We started with ziplining which... More

After a ride on horrible roads, you arrive at the entrance and the only thing you can say is WOW. What a resort! Big, luxuruous rooms. A perfect service. Well kept grounds. The spa is heaven. Avoid weekends, because too many visitors from outside the hotel who take advantage of the facilities without contribution. When we were there in April... More

If you are visiting Costa Rica for its nature, beauty and activities then you should look no further than Borinquen . Costa Rica is NOT know for its beaches so don't go there if you want blue water and white sand but if you want nature and activities then by all means Costa Rica is the place and Borinquen is...

They sat us outside with candles and torches for dinner by ourselves because it was our honeymoon! The hot mud and sauna was a delight and... More

We stayed at the Hotel in late March. It is a unique lush valley in the CR highlands. The service was outstanding with all staff eager to please and help. The horseback ride and zipline was the best in CR with great guides who were friendly and knowlegeable of the environment pointing out unique plants and animals. Food was excellent.... More

Thank you for your great comments, we look forward to having you come back again soon. Regarding the tipping, a 10% service charge is included by law in Costa Rica. If you feel that your waiter went that extra mile, you are welcome to leave an additional tip at your discretion. Mario Jimenez Owner Borinquen Resort More

As we have read the reviews on tripadvisor, we decided to visit the resort despite of the quite high price and the distant location. As we have arrived, we have already been surprised by the pure quality of the reception (no questions could be answered about Rincon de la Vieja and no information about the surroundings is provided). I have... More

great pool and hot springs, nice rooms and good food. the guides are nice and we had a very good horse ride. the hotel area is large and might be a bit problem to carry kids around... the restaurant has good food with reasonable prices.the highlight of the hotel is the pool and springs.

This is a beautiful resort out in the middle of no where. The volcanic rocks by the river are absolutely incredible. The resort is immaculately kept. The rooms are beautiful with wonderful views, lots of privacy, strong water pressure, honor bar and safes. The mud pot is so much fun to play in, not to mention the hot springs and... More

Borinquen Mountain Resort is about 22 kilometers down a rocky, bumpy, dusty road off the Panamerican Highway. It's definitely a place to get away from it all. The property is pretty, with many trees and flowers. The room my wife and I had was pleasant, with amenities like a refrigerator, coffee maker, and air conditioning. The beds were comfortable and...
