Zona Norte hotel rooms a the Independent

"Above and beyond "

"My first room had now AC, i tried sleeping couldn't, but went down to lobby and they were able to place me in a new room that had good AC. The rooms are okay, get what you payed for, I would spend double the money to be near beach now that I know. "

"Great place to spend your vacation, everything was clean and safe, great restaurants, gym and spa, friendly staff, safe beach and the neighborhood. Planning to return in the near future."

"Swimming pool is very small. It is across the road from the beach. The rooms are nicely air conditioned. Staff don’t have much of a personality. They are not bad but not great either. Overall reasonably clean. They have a feet sand washer in the front which is nice when you finish the beach before you get in the hotel. Breakfast is Brazilian continental nothing special but it will get you started for your day. Opens at 6.30am for breakfast. Generally speaking best to have lunch and dinner in a proper restaurant as you will be paying similar prices for better food. For the price you won’t complain as much but don’t expect more than a 3 star even though hotel is a 4 star. "

"The staff was wonderful. Everyone from the checkin, to the restaurants, to housekeeping. Directly across the street from a great beach. Great amenities too. And a feeling of safely throughout "

"Large room with amazing ocean view! Breakfast buffet is excellent and has an omelette bar. Prices are reasonable at pool and lobby bars. "

"Main door to unit's closing mechanism in disrepair. Room lock safe had pieces of wall missing around it. Makeshift repairs. Not much in the way of making you feel safe/secure."

"Great location. Friendly staff. Loved the included breakfast. Would stay again."
