My famiy and I stayed at this resort June 2008. Our entire costa rica experience was amazing, but this hotel in particular became very special to us. Despite the difficult and uncomfortable journey to get there - it was worth it. When we arrived we were taken to our rooms in a little buggy, rooms were spacious with a hammock... more

We stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of a 10 day vacation. The hotel is beautifully situated on a lush, green mountain side. Our room was clean and comfortable. I appreciated the artful way they folded the towels, like a swan, and the large shower. They even provided a nice crib for our youngest child. The swimming pool... more

I stayed for two nights at the Hotel Borinquen with my husband and two daughters. The rooms are comfortable, elegant and spotlessly clean. Yes, as one reviewer pointed out, the minibar is very expensive but you are not forced to buy anything. The tap water is perfectly safe so you don't need bottled water. The grounds are beautiful and meticulously... more

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
