Northern Plains hotel rooms a the Independent

"The Springs is truly heaven on earth. I've been to Costa Rica fiver times since 2015 and my stays at the Springs have been most memorable than all of my other trips combined. Yes, it is one of the most expensive resorts in the area and I'm frugal but every dollar spent at the Springs is absolutely worth it. From the moment you arrive, everything feels intentional, thoughtfully, and beautifully maintained. Dining, the hot springs, Club Rios, the rooms, dining - every part of the experience has been incredible. It's been a month since my family's last stay and now that I'm back in the States, I find myself thinking about the resort almost every day. One of my favorite memories is sitting alone in a hot springs at 7am, watching an iguana float across the pool while rain fell around us. Moments like that is priceless. I would absolutely return again and I'm incredibly grateful for Mr. Lee Banks who created this amazing place. "

"The hotel is spectacular; the thermal waters flow through pools seamlessly integrated with nature. The service from reception, housekeeping, and the restaurant is outstanding. There are also excellent excursion options."

"Courteous and kind staff Beautiful and well maintained hot spring pools - not sure if it's because it's not high tourist season or if they are making sure things are well kept Large breakfast selection We had a rental car but hotel provides a convenient shuttle all day and night "

"Hotel and staff were excellent. We had to ask management to quiet down a group of drunks who took their own speakers to pool and spent 3 hours screaming like animals. The second we asked, the hotel did everything right and addressed the situation in a classy and professional way. It was well handled. Not hotel’s fault— shame on the people. "
