Sierpe, Puntarenas Province hotel rooms at the Independent

"It was lovely to have 5 steps to the sunbed and 5 to the pool. A very relaxing place. We loved Melissa and that fact it was a family run place. Rooms were bright and airy with hand painted designs, which was a nice touch. The floral swing is a nice touch that mum thought of and the pool area is all very lovely. Melissa was incredibly helpful with suggestions on where to go and what to do. And she was always interested to hear what we had done and where we had been (for future reference). We would happily stay another time, but would absolutely recommend it to others. Thanks Melissa. Xx"

"What a lovely place to stay. We loved every minute of it. "

"What a special place! We arrived in the surf, to be greeted by Dylan and his staff who grabbed our bags and suitcases and brought them up to the room. We then had pineapple smoothies and talked to Dylan, who I produced us to the routines there. You tell them when you want to eat. Eat! It's more like floating in gourmet heaven. The food is out of this world!!! The room was many steps up a rocky staircase, do prepare for earning your heavenly food. The view from the room takes your breath away. Do download the free app Merlin that will help you identify the many birds you will hear and see there. The shower, equipped with shampoo, conditioner and body wash, has two shower heads for a nice couples shower. There is no air conditioning, but the screened "ceiling" openings (really, up on the wall) let in enough air to cool you down sufficiently. We had to turn down the ceiling fan speed in a heat wave to keep from shivering. We will definitely return here again! "

"Mucha amabilidad por parte del Dueño y anfitrión! "

"Purpose built hotel, not meant to have a reception or interaction. Very clean, perfectly adequate for us for one night while travelling on."

"What a Great Ocean View from the private Pool of the House!! I also stayed in one of their apartments, their pool as well have a spectacular vie to the Pacific Ocean and breathtaking sunsets. The hosts and their team are very helpful and friendly. And the best: our dogs were welcome and enjoyed their stay as much as we did. To Dog owners: to maintain this place dog friendly control your dogs and clean up after them, thank you! Overall one of the best places we stayed in the Uvita region! "

"Great hidden gem"

"Contrataron una empresa para fumigar el hotel y a las 12 media noche empezaron con una máquina de motor de gasolina y levantaron a todos los huéspedes asustados por el escándalo y el olor."

"Could see the ocean but room got very hot due to the big window to see the sea and beach and no Aircon to cool just a fan."
