I'm not much for writing reviews, but I felt that this hotel warranted one. My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. This is absolutely the place to go to relax- if you are looking for nightlife and partying then this is definitely not the place for you. The grounds were stunning, lush, and... More

This seems like it was an amazing place about 10 years ago. The place needs some work. However, the service was very good and we enjoyed the food. An in-room guest book would have been very useful though. It was difficult to get any type of information. More

I also stayed at the Borinquen as part of a group doing a hike up the Rincon de la Vieja volcano for charity. The grounds are extraordinarily beautiful and the rooms are very comfortable and clean. The walk up to our room was very steep, however we were the closest to the bottom and it was good practice for the... More

Hotel Borinquen is a beautiful green oasis. If you are looking to relax and enjoy nature this will be a great place to start your trip in Costa Rica. Their staff and service was amazing. We met Noah one of Borinquen's employees he was really helpful to us, always very friendly, and he made us feel at home. Gracias Noah!... More

I stayed at the Borinquen as part of a group doing a hike up the Rincon de la Vieja volcano for charity. The grounds are extraordinarily beautiful and the rooms are very comfortable and clean.

The villa was exceptional. Large, beautiful accommodations with private balcony and hammock. The food was good, and the grounds were lovely. We took the 4-wheel excursion to the waterfalls and the nature trails. Our nature guide was excellent. Be sure to enjoy the mud bath and sauna. Messy, but great fun. Though the road there is long and bumpy it... More

Large rooms in a very peaceful and green environment. A large swimming-pool with a volcanic sauna, mud baths, hot and cold water basins... It's a quite big resort with groups. Food was good, but breakfast was only average. Beware, the Rincon de la Vieja national Park is closed on Monday and no one informed us, so we drove 2 hours... More

We loved this hotel nestled beside Rincon de la Vieja -- beautifully manicured grounds, comfortable and quiet rooms, first-rate service and staff and a long list of fun things to do while you're there. Our family of five enjoyed the canopy tour, horseback riding to the waterfall, painting ourselves with volcanic mud and playing in the pool. We stayed in... More

Went with another family and had a great time. Food was amazing, the staff was very kind and helpful, and the kids loved the pools. Accommodations are really nice and the rooms with hammocks on patio are highly recommended! Our kids were too small to do any excursions but I've heard the waterfall/horseback ride tour is fantastic.
