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.

The hotel is very nice and staff is very friendly. The restaurant prices are quite high and size of portions are too small. Prices do not include taxes in any menu which is not very convenient. Even worse for foreigners.

A beautiful location on the slopes of Rincon de la Vieja, Borinquen Thermal Resort is a treat in the heart of the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. From the finely appointed rooms to the spacious, lush grounds, to the superb restaurants, this resort stay was one-of-a-kind. Staff was friendly, helpful, and good at their jobs. The pool (with swim up bar) and the natural thermal-fed hot pools were both relaxing and invigorating. The food and drinks were terrific any time of day and served by genial staff. There are thermal features on the property, a small, but quality hiking trail, and wildlife was abundant. With Spider and Howler Monkeys in the trees, iguanas and coatimunde roaming the grounds, and toucans and a wide variety of colorful birds overhead, we did not have to leave the property to enjoy nature's abundance. We also chose to venture with a knowledgeable guide to two photogenic waterfalls through a dense forest populated by many bird species. Borinquen Thermal Resort prides itself on sustainability, and staying there we really felt one with the environment.

Big, clean rooms. Excellent breakfast and dinner menu. Friendly staff. It is a 2 minute walk up beach, this beach is quite rustic and a few more minutes to walk to more sandy beach. My only con was the outdoor grounds could have used a power wash and the pool sitting area was dirty and slimy.
