Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great place to stay with family "

"This property was kept spotless! The people working on property were absolutely amazing! They were kind, helpful, and genuine. We ate on property most meals and enjoyed all of them immensely. The resort is small and quaint and felt very much like a large family with a wonderful beach to walk on adjacent to the property and a large pool with swim up bar to cool down in. Can’t wait to go back!"

"We absolutely loved this hotel. We checked in when the sun was setting and fell in love immediately! Our room was on the first floor with ocean view. We spent an entire day just relaxing at the pool and beach and eating at the delicious restaurant. My husband never wants to do that but he loved it at the resort. When we were leaving we peeked in to see the pool across the street and wish we would’ve gone in it - it’s beautiful! Everyone was so kind and worked so hard. We definitely recommend it. "

"Beautiful. Large beach. Another beach close by. Great drinks."

"We loved our stay. The views are amazing and the staff is very friendly and helpful. "

"The staff was really good. Very friendly and professional, spoke excellent English. Our family with mid to late teens felt very safe on the grounds. Lots of really fun amenities. The food was really good and had lots of varieties. "

"The hospitality was outstanding. The bar and restaurant staff were so nice and kind; and got to know us on a first name basis. The room was beautiful. The shower was next level. The double shower heads and the outside view had me taking multiple showers a day. Additionally the view from our partial ocean view room was beautiful. I would definitely return to this property."

"Quiet and relaxing. Just what I needed. All the staff was great, respectful"

"It was so much fun to see cows on the beach! The room we booked was huge and comfortable. My kids really enjoyed the bunk beds and the privacy curtains. The kitchen and living space was nicely equipped. All the nature around the hotel and the set up of the hotel is relaxing and lovely. We did encountered a plumbing issue during our stay that caused our unit to not have water for several hours for two days. The staff were helpful regarding this and accommodate us to shower in a different room. Not necessarily convenient but was not their fault and responded appropriately to the problem. The two restaurants had very similar food options and it was just alright. There were too many flies during meals and that was a nuisance. Staff were friendly at the restaurant as well. The pool and common areas look old and in my opinion could have more maintenance. We saw the pools being cleaned in the morning but the cement looks stained and many insects fall in the water throughout the day that could be cleaned for better enjoyment of the pool. "
