Borinquen Thermal Resort

Resort located up in mountains, steep hill road. Excellent service and food. Amazing hot springs and Spa.

Beautiful peaceful place to be and unwind. Pleasant staff beautiful grounds. Horseback riding and zipline at the resort were one of the best we've had .Our guides were great lots of fun. Breakfast in the morning was good and filling. The pool and hotsprings were very relaxing .The mud baths were a highlight, and the steam room was amazing . I hope to return one day .

I was happy to stay there for the second time, visiting to celebrate my mother’s 60th birthday. Unfortunately, I had to leave early after receiving news of a close family friend’s passing. I asked if it was possible to be refunded for the unused night, but was told no. I understand the policies, but a bit more empathy in such unexpected situations would have been appreciated...

This is a classy place centered on guest experience. Comfort is great, it is not crowded and the staff is very attentive and kind. One can feel that this is a family business with a ling tradition of hospitality. The amenities are exceptional: natural sauna, thermal bath, mud and spa. The facilities are very well maintained and kept. First rate and great value.

We spent 4 nights here- we had a Jr suite for my husband and I and a standard bungalow for my teens (19, 16, 14) The resort is very remote- the road going in gets bumpy at the end and it takes about an hour from Liberia- but this is what we wanted to end our week long stay in Costa Rica. The bungalows are pretty basic but well appointed and clean- there is a smart tv (for the kids, I never turned mine on!) and a mini fridge in each room plus a nespresso machine for coffee. No snacks or waters or anything like that- bring those things with you to stock your own room before you get there! Plan to eat on site- you don't have restaurants near by to pop over to for dinner/etc- the included breakfast was good (basically same thing each day with small variations- changed the potato/side option, did french toast one day corn cakes another, etc but had gallo pinto/plantains & fresh fruit & a fresh egg cooking station each day). We left the resort one day to do the La Leona waterfall adventure hike off site- on the way back we stopped at El Mirador restaurant and would recommend a stop there! The beds were comfy & we slept well, AC works great, they will drive you around the resort (it is very hilly) if you call the front desk for transport. We did an adventure tour on site- the 4 senses (horseback ride, hike to waterfalls, zipline in canopy) and it was AMAZING! A great value for the cost and the guides were so great! The views- the best part of this place! From our balcony we could see out to the Pacific ocean in the distance, the most amazing sunsets, we had a tree full of squirrel monkeys each day next to our bungalow, we saw howler monkeys down by the pool, we lathered up in volcanic mud & soaked in the hot tubs. We never tried the spa or the pool area so I have no reports on that. The last day was very rainy and we just relaxed and enjoyed the tranquility- it was a perfect ending to an adventurous week.
