I had an enchanting experience at this mountain retreat! The accommodation was absolutely magical, with serene surroundings and a fantastic pool. The staff went above and beyond to provide top-notch service, especially when I lost my phone. However, it's unfortunate that we faced some issues with communication during check-in. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for adventure and relaxation, just be sure to be aware of customer service shortcomings.

The resort offers a beautiful environment with hot spring pools and mud baths, perfect for a rejuvenating getaway. I enjoyed my stay in a junior suite, which was spacious and provided a great level of comfort. However, the dining options were limited and slightly underwhelming, and the customer service was lacking at times. Despite the steep location requiring transportation for navigation, the wildlife and excursions add a unique charm to the experience.

We had an interesting stay at this hotel. The rooms were stunning with impressive wood ceilings, but the mountain view was a letdown. While the thermal baths and spa were enjoyable, the lack of lighting and safety concerns dampened the experience. The dining options were limited, but we found a few dishes we enjoyed. Overall, it's a quite peaceful place but not without some significant flaws.

My experience at Hotel Borinquen was absolutely magical! Tucked away at the end of a rugged dirt road, the resort opened up to lush grounds filled with wildlife. The hot springs and mud baths were an incredible way to unwind after thrilling activities like zip-lining and horseback riding. The attentive and friendly staff made everything even better. However, do be prepared for the nighttime travel on those uneven roads, as it felt a bit limiting. Overall, I would highly recommend this oasis for anyone wanting adventure blended with relaxation.

The property is visually stunning with plenty of wildlife to enjoy, including monkeys and coatis. The rooms are nice, but unfortunately, the beds and pillows leave much to be desired. The dining options are expensive for what you get, and while breakfast was decent, I found myself wanting more variety. Be prepared for a rough road to get there and to bring your own essentials as the location is quite remote.
