Isla Zapatera, Granada hotel rooms at the Independent

"Our family loved this hotel for its colonial charm, walkability to the center of town and to various restaurants and coffee shops. There is a great restaurant that is associated with the hotel that also served a great breakfast. The pool was refreshing. The front desk staff was very helpful in recommending activities. Great laundry service. The room was a nice respite from the heat and with good air conditioning. If you want to see the lively local market, there are a number of vendors only a block down where the locals shop. "

"Comfortable rooms, beautiful grounds, great location, lovely pool, delicious breakfasts, and the most superb, helpful staff. What else do you need? I can’t wait to return!! "

"This hotel is truly a hidden gem with absolutely breathtaking views of Lake Apoyo, with a stunning volcano rising in the background that makes the scenery even more unforgettable. Waking up to that view alone is worth the stay. The hotel is intimate, with only five rooms, so it never feels crowded and offers a very peaceful, private atmosphere. The rooms are amazing—spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed—with beautifully crafted bathrooms that feel luxurious and serene. The pool area is spotless and offers incredible views of the lake and volcano, making it the perfect place to unwind. One of the highlights is the peaceful waterfall, which adds a calming atmosphere and makes it easy to relax and recharge. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the stay even more enjoyable, and parking is easy and convenient. As for dining, the menu offers a decent variety of options. While dinner didn’t quite meet expectations, breakfast was absolutely amazing and definitely a highlight of the stay. If you’re looking for a place to disconnect, relax, and fully take in nature’s beauty, this hotel is an exceptional choice."

"This place is so beautiful and peaceful! The view of the volcano is amazing! You can sit under the stars at night in a comfortable hammock and feel the breeze come from the volcano! Highly recommended place to stay the bed is really comfortable as well! "
