The resort is very nice for a relaxing trip. Food options are good and the best part is the thermal hot springs and pool facilities. Getting to the resort is bit of a drive from the airport and you should have a vehicle otherwise it is very remote.

Everything was perfect and all employees were courteous except the ladies at reception that work in the morning I believe one of the girls name is Sofia and her attitude is so bad and doesn’t even greet customers acts as if she eats scorpions on a daily basis passing the poison to customers. I have stayed at borinquen 3 times and next time I go if they are still there at check in I will definitely bring it to their attention about their bad attitudes.

The property is majestic, the staff capable and always ready to assist. The staff that maintain the property are so kind and amazing at their jobs. They have passion for the property and are experts at what they do. This property is unique as you get to enjoy all the amenities while looking at monkeys, lizards, birds, panthers, etc. In their natural habitat. The drive to the resort is part of the experience as you are on a road to a wonderful adventure.

This is a beautiful resort that is a bit far from town but very lovely and quiet. They have wonderful staff that are happy to help you. There are events to that you can do while on the property- I did a horseback ride to the "top of the world" with my kids. It was wonderful, and we saw 2 waterfalls as well. The resort has a nice trail where you can see a fumerole- steam and hot water coming from the ground- and bubbling mud too. There is ziplining and plenty of food choices at the restaurant. They all spoke English and were so kind to my family. I didn't try the spa but I'm sure it's top notch too.

The resort is peaceful and clean. Most staff was friendly. We only had one unpleasant experience. On Tuesday, the twelfth. I think his name was Eric. My husband stayed he spoke to him rudely. I loved Jose Maria and Genesis! They are genuinely kind and friendly. I would love to go back, however, the road leading to the resort is very rough! You almost need a 4 x 4. It’s a dirt road and lots of curves and narrow! I can not imagine it when it rains. I also noticed some small worms in the room. I didn’t mind it since the resort is out in nature. I think they were harmless. The pool is very beautiful and so is the dining area.
