9.8/10 Exceptional! (317 reviews)
An unforgettable stay with an incredible sunset view. From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was exceptional. Our room was extraordinary — beautifully designed, comfortable, and with a stunning view that made it feel truly special. Having our own private pool was an amazing touch and made the stay even more relaxing. The common pool area was another highlight, especially around sunset. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and watching the sun go down over the ocean from the hotel was one of the most memorable parts of our trip. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome throughout our stay. Every little detail seemed thoughtfully taken care of. Between the spectacular location, incredible views, beautiful room, private pool, and outstanding hospitality, this was easily one of the most memorable hotel stays we’ve had. We would absolutely love to come back! P.S - This is a polished version from GPT. But I promise each and every statement holds true.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,006 reviews)
This hotel is beautiful. Is small feels really personal. The food is delicious is not a huge buffet but everything is great quality and they have plenty of what they offered. The staff at the buffet is friendly and attentive. Is all inclusive which is a plus for us. The pools are big but unfortunately they only had one of the bars open and only one bartender in the one that was open which is a lot for one person to handle. We all want to have a drink in our hands but it takes time. Adrian at the bar was wonderful he was “overwhelmed” at times but he did it gracious , with a smile, zero complaints but we all had to wait our turns. Adrian is a wonderful employee the hotel is lucky to have him. This place is pet friendly and we came with our rescue dog he was accommodated. We will come back in a heart bit!

8.4/10 Very good! (99 reviews)
"Although very conveniently located if you need something in Santa Cruz; the hotel is very basic; beds are just OK (not very comfortable, pillows so high that are not possible to use); restroom very hot and you get the noise from the street. I don’t think is worth the money."
