We stayed here for 4 nights and really liked it. All of the staff were very pleasant, professional, friendly and accommodating. One of the servers at the breakfast buffet even ran down the street to get an avocado for my vegan niece!! The beautiful restaurant is located on the roof top with nice views of the port and nice breezes blowing through, they even have room service!! The room was spacious with a nice covered deck where you could sit and watch the tropical rain. The a/c was nice and the shower had very good water pressure. The pool was closed for renovations on our first day, but opened the next day and it was so nice to be able to cool down after a hot day! It’s a beautiful blue tiled pool with the perfect temperature . We took advantage of the bikes they offer for free to ride around the quaint town. It is in a nice location, less than 5 minute walk to the docks, multiple restaurants , a deli with vegan options and killer vegan sorbet, an ATM and a super market! The hospital is very close. I would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend this hotel to others.

This hotel is beautiful, it looks even better in person than it does in the pictures. Rooftop restaurant and downstairs pool area were especially nice. Great service in restaurant with excellent breakfast buffet. Huge bathroom and enormous bed. Staff went out of their way to provide me with hypoallergenic bed linens (no down/feathers). Nice toiletries. Wish the shower had better pressure and you could flush toilet paper but that's a problem everywhere on Santa Cruz, not specific to this hotel. Extremely close to the main strip of restaurants and bars and front desk staff gave us dining options upon request, including a map of the area. They arranged taxi service for us upon departure. Only stayed one night and really wish we had stayed longer. Only downside was the lack of soundproof rooms. Birds and fellow guests can be early risers and you will here them making noise quite early in the morning.
