Manuel Antonio National Park, Puntarenas Province hotel rooms at the Independent

"This place is truly a gem. From the special attention given upon arrival to the extraordinary hospitality we received throughout the stay, this is truly a resort I would highly recommend to anyone. Couples, families. Something for everyone. A separate adult pool for more quiet but the family pool with waterfall and water slide has adults also partaking in the fun. Laying on a Lounge and looking at the jungle along with the ocean is breathtaking. We see toucans, parrots and more from just laying at the pool on a lounge chait while having drinks and an exquisite lunch brought to you. Tours pick you up at the resort if you want to have a private tour to see the animals or go tubing rafting zip lining horseback riding. It’s all there. Thank you to the staff including kitchen and restaurant staff. Top notch service. Thanks for the memories. We WILL return."

"This was an amazing place to stay! Walk to the beach. And the breakfast was incredible! Rooms were large and very nice! I would deffinatly recommend this place!! We loved it!"

"We loved our experience at the Parador! We were there for 8 days with our family of 6 and another family of 3. Food and drinks could have been a bit cheaper for the times we just wanted to grab a quick bite and drink around the pool. With so many people it adds up quickly. Everything else was excellent! Staff, rooms, cleanliness. The nature and wildlife is amazing, how green and beautiful everything is can't be beat!"

"Room came with black ants; shortly after, became a pool of them. The layout was not what was expected nor presented via their pictures. Staff in restaurant and property manager were great. Breakfast was a static menu and parking was adequate. "

"The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is possibly the friendliest, most helpful staff I've ever come across. From the incredible views of the ocean from every angle of the hotel to the dining experience this hotel is 5 stars across the board."

"Professional staff that were always trying to help us. Very clean."

"Beautifully landscaped, very comfortable, great breakfast, outstanding staff"
