Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve, Puntarenas Province hotel rooms at the Independent

"The place was nicely quiet, everyone was so nice. The only negative was the road getting there. So is all of Costa Rica. The staff were very friendly, ocean & beach great. We loved it!"

"Great hotel and location, maybe slightly outdated but we liked tropical style of the hotel. The hotel is oriented mainly for Spanish speaking people."

"Just stayed at Blooma Boutique Hotel in Santa Teresa and honestly, it’s the best spot in town. The location couldn’t be more perfect – walking distance to the beach, with a supermarket right next door, and some of the best restaurants around. The Bakery (amazing for breakfast and lunch) is just across the street, and if you’re up for a quick 5-minute ride you’ll be at favorites like Koji’s, Amici, and Katana. The hotel itself is beautifully designed. The pool feels super private and relaxing, the beds and pillows are extremely comfortable, and every detail in the rooms makes you feel right at home. Most importantly, the staff make the experience even better – friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything you need. Special thanks to Johan at reception, who went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. If you’re heading to Santa Teresa, Blooma Boutique Hotel is definitely the place to stay."
