Balatero hotel rooms a the Independent

"Staff are very kind and helpful, they made sure we had what we needed. I booked a room for 2 people but I chose a bigger room because I was anticipating to have some relatives coming with us. So there were 4 of us who showed up for the room. I was expecting I would be charged for the 2 extra people but they didn’t charge me. The location is very nice if you want a quiet place to relax. We had the whole beach to ourselves most of the time but not advisable if you have kids because the ocean is deep in this area, but good for diving and snorkeling. Room is outdated and needs improvements especially the washrooms. The place is not suitable to people with knee problems because of the steep stairs going up the road. Overall, we had a good stay 😊"

"Room was beautiful, perfectly clean and smelled nice. The staff was super friendly, bossman even helped me try to fix my scooter when i asked for some tools! The premises are gorgeous, the breakfast was tasty and the vibe was generally calm, relaxing and comfortable. The AC is a bit dated but did a reliable job nonetheless. If i had to critisize something, the water pressure in the shower could be a little better. All in all still a 5 star experience for me!"

"The staff is amazing. The beach is better than the white beach. An experience unparalleled truly."

"This was an extended 1 night after being at this resort for 3 nights. 1. Excellent Sevice and Amenities (snorkeling was fun to see fishes and corals but be careful of the rocks. It can scratch your skin. Kayaking was also fun. Other amenities includes swimming pool, billiards and lounge chairs. It’s so nice to seat outside for breakfast and dinner. 2. Price: Excellent. It was worth every penny of it! …and more! Note: Room was basic not luxury but amenities were provided. Note: I also had check-in at two other resorts in the area. This is the best especially for the price what you get."

"The staff were great, receptive, courteous and knowledgeable. Quiet and peaceful to say the least."

"Staff is courteous, the room is nice and large and luxurious. The food is good and not too pricey. The ambience and location of the hotel on its private island/beechfront is excellent."
