North Pacific Coast, Guanacaste hotel rooms at the Independent

"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. "

"Very accommodating! Clean and a lot of amenities "

"Everything was clean. Close to the airport and free shuttle to the airport. Highly recommend"

"Excellent stay. We enjoyed a very pleasant stay, from check in,"

"I love the food, the pool, beach access, and the staff! My one complaint is that the location of the hotel requires extensive commute, which is quite costly. "

"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."

"really friendly staff, beautiful area. "

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