Wow! What a surprise! Wonderfully manicured lawns and ultra clean private casitas. Given the remote nature of this property, I was expecting more rustic accommodations. The grounds were gorgeous set in the mountains - and the whole property was much bigger than I anticipated. Perfect for an outdoor adventure. The thermal pool area was so fun. Start with slathering mud... More

This place has everything including a little adventure and also a great natural spa to relax. The mud, 3 natural water swimming pools with different temperatures, natural sauna from the volcano and also a canopy and tour to the volcano. It is really great and unique experience. Every time I go to Liberia, I always visit. More

We just returned from a wonderful 3 day stay at the Hotel Borinquen. This was a wonderful secluded resort that consisted of a group of bungalows. The staff and managers were excellent and very accomidating. I had an unexpected orthopaedic injury that limited my mobility before I arrived, and they were able to find me many things to do. We...

This place is about an hour from Liberia airport. Rent an SUV, since the road there is unpaved. It is very isolated, but this resort has so much land. We went horseback riding, which was beautiful! They have 3 hot pools which we used everyday, a mud area, and a big pool. We ate there everyday too, since there was... More

We rented an SUV (didn't need 4x4 though) and drove from Tamarindo through Liberia and out to Borinquen, which took just under two hours. The road is only bad from Canas Dulces to Borinquen, and it seemed fine to us, but I imagine it's awful during rainy season. We did all the tours right there on the property--canopy zip line,...

I recently spent two nights here as part of a weeklong trip to Costa Rica and was extremely satisfied with my stay here. Location - Simply divine! I used ecotrans to transport my companion and I from the beach to the resort and the whole drive took about an hour and a half. Yes, the last 20 mins or so... More

We had a 3 day stay at this Hotel\Resort and honestly it was amazing. The food is fantastic, with a lot of possibilities. The activities that you can book at the resort are great and with a lot of variety. The only thing different is the breakfast that isn't buffet. The rooms are gigantic and very cosy. The sauna\mud bath\pool... More
