Great property with lots included! The pools, thermal baths, sauna, forest trail, etc were all such a pleasure to experience in this beautiful place. Horseback riding to the world‘s best canopy zip-line tour of theirs was so amazing and special! Each and every staff member was so kind, welcoming and attentive to details: really excellent.

The guest experience

9.2out of 10
600 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Lush natural setting and abundant wildlife (spider monkeys, birds)
  • Hot springs and spa facilities
  • Friendly, attentive staff (specific praise for bar staff)
  • Wide range of on-site activities (waterfall hike, zipline, horseback riding)
  • Good restaurant and abundant breakfast
  • Pools with swim-up bar and pleasant grounds/walking paths

Worth knowing — Main pool cleanliness issues (floating bugs, murky water) · Remote location and transport delays (about 45 mins to town) · Limited external transport/shops/pharmacies nearby · No first-aid kit reported by one guest · On-property transport vehicles could be more comfortable (suggestion for golf carts)

How guests scored the stay

  • Service9.8

    Consistently praised staff—friendly, attentive, excellent treatment (specific praise for bar staff like Armando); staff provided transportation around the property and excellent guest care.

  • Amenities9.8

    Strong amenity offering: hot springs, multiple pools (including swim-up bar), spa, walking paths, creek, ziplining, horseback riding and on-site activities—guests highlighted ability to stay on property for everything.

  • Food and Beverage9.4

    Multiple mentions of abundant, tasty breakfasts and delicious restaurant dishes; wet bar cocktails praised and food service received very positive feedback.

  • Room Quality9.2

    Comfortable cabins mentioned with AC and television; guests described rooms as relaxing and fitting the natural, comfortable vibe of the resort.

  • Overall Experience9.2

    Overwhelmingly positive overall impressions—described as a 'magical' experience, 'experience of a lifetime', restful and likely to return; minor issues did not detract from guests' enjoyment.

  • Location9.0

    Stunning, secluded rainforest setting with abundant wildlife and natural features; accessibility is a drawback (about 45 minutes to town, transport can be slow or affected by weather).

  • Value for Money9.0

    Guests felt the resort delivered excellent experiences (activities, hot springs, service, food) that justify the cost; no major complaints about pricing.

  • Cleanliness8.2

    Generally clean accommodations but guests reported the main pool was murky with floating bugs and in need of treatment; overall property cleanliness otherwise described positively.

    “In the hills, isolated but in an area renowned for its thermal pools and mud we found the hotel better than the photos and a lovely place to spend a few days. You will smell the natural sulphur in the air and the rooms are spread out over the hills so you will get your steps in or call for a ride. The pool is wonderful and the monkeys a treat. The thermal pools are interesting and the mud an experience (wish there had been a bit more info on how/why to use the facilities). The breakfast was top notch - à la carte and served on an open air restaurant with lovely choices. The restaurant is also where we ate dinner and the service was great and dinner delicious. Overall a great place, not too far from the airport with a vehicle, up-around some very bumpy and windy roads and a great time was had.”

    “We were beyond blown away by the resort's amenities, food, and staff. You don't need to leave the property at all to adventure and experience local nature. We did a 4-hour waterfall hike and 12-stage ziplining through a spectacular canyon, and there was no one else in the group. Our favorite part, however, was sitting in the hot springs and watching the spider monkeys in their natural habitat. Don't stay elsewhere and schedule activities with various companies; simply go to Borinquen and enjoy everything the resort has to offer.”
