8/10 Very good

A nice resort, but at a dead-end
The resort was everything it described and the on site restaurant was DELICIOUS. But Google maps had told us there were roads available for getting to other places but there are not! Know that once you get to Bourinquen the only way to get anywhere else is to all the way back to the main highway.

Family weekend
Very nice experience for a weekend scape with a family of 5. (3 kids below 9). They enjoyed the time there, in the volcanic spa, (mud and thermal pools) and also in the swiming pool and gardens

8/10 Very good

While the resort itself is quite lovely, you need to understand that it is not close to anything, with a challenging road to get there, and only one option for dinner. It is ideal if you are looking for a quiet retreat. The property is stunning - small chalet/villas dotting the hillside, overlooking the gardens, the canopy and the mountains. The villas are great - fresh and clean - with a balcony for you to sit on with your morning coffee. The pool is also great & well maintained. There is a wet bar poolside and a snack bar over the steps next to the thermal pools, mud bath. However, visitors - especially families- need to understand that the wet bar and snack bar closed at 4pm (not sure if this is because it's off season) and we could only eat dinner by reserving at the one restaurant, even though it said there were three restaurants. Food was good but once you finish dinner there is nothing more to really do, as the pools close at 8pm. This is all lovely if you are looking for peace and quiet but 3 days was too much for us. The grounds are perfect for bird and monkey watching! A huge WOW for the ziplining which my 15 absolutely loved! One last thing - if you are going to drive in, be warned that 15 km of uphill, unpaved road isn't for the faint of heart. Ensure you are driving a 4X4. After taking a road trip to the beaches, we couldn't imagine doing any more day trips. Overall, peace & beauty, but two days with a family, is enough.

4/10 Fair

Pros: beautiful, liked the mud baths Cons: terrible food and terrible service in the restaurant. Expensive for what you get. They start using blowers in front of your door early in the morning. Woke up kids. Seemed unnecessary. Beautiful property but will not be back.

It’s a great place to relax and enjoy nature and best of all disconnected from society for 3 days or more can be very relaxing and takes away stress. Great coffee every morning in your room.

Jewel in the rainforest
The property is lovely - made up of bungalows. Wel-manicured yet in the rainforest. The staff is great and super friendly. The real only drawback is that it is in the middle of nowhere so after a couple of days, you have exhausted the activities and the menu at the restaurant. Also, it is very hilly but you can catch a ride in one of the resort's pick up trucks. Highly recommend the horseback riding and ziplining tour. (Reasonably priced activity too)

This is a great hotel for anyone that loves nature, fauna and a relaxing environment. It is the perfect place to relax, disconnect and appreciate the beauty of nature. The hotel offers different tours, and counts with a delicious included breakfast! The access the property could seem hard if you are not familiarize with open routes, some small hills and curves, but it is quite easy to sort out if you drive carefully. The reward is at the end of the road, I promise it. Since the hotel is a bit far from local dining, you better plan to eat in any of the two restaurants that the resort offers (their food is good, with a nice variety of natural fruit flavors and local produce). We love the trails, the mud bath, the pool, the horse riding and the adventure during the tours. I recommend the sunset tour. Our tour guide was Oscar, he was excellent, very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. All the staff was helpful and friendly, the lady at the front desk was really nice. Definitely we should be back! Great place to explore Guanacaste and if you love the forest! Pura Vida :) Thanks a lot!
