It’s a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. The pool is great, and there are hammocks beneath the coconut trees, perfect for unwinding. The air conditioning works well, though there’s no refrigerator in the room. Still looking forward to trying the continental breakfast, but expectations are high.

Room maintenance is poor, hotel did no have extra towels so we needed to wait for the used towels to be washed!, used couchings on the beds that clearly are not washed!, breakfast was single choice, not even could select type of eggs you wanted. Even parking was not marked. Overall minimum effort to maintain property and customer service.

Propiedad descuidada, vieja y sucia.
Es más una "cabina" que un hotel pero mantiene buen precio. sobre todo para pasar la noche.
Ropa de cama y paños muy viejos, la cortina del baño es de plástico y tiene moho. El servicios sanitario de la habitación no funcionaba ( y ellos lo sanían pues le tenían cerrada la llave de paso de agua) .
Desayuno incluido OK
Tiene la mejor locación de Sta Cruz probablemetne , pero necesita mejoras urgentemetne

Sobrevalorado! El parqueo con poca iluminación, es un hotel muy viejo, estaba lleno de mosquitos, el lavatorio se salía todo el agua y se inundaba el baño, habían pelos en la ducha y un jabón usado. Las camas súper duras, el aire acondicionado no enfriaba. Contactamos a la recepción para reportar el daño y nunca llegaron a resolver la avería. Realmente no recomiendo este lugar pésima experiencia y sobrevalorado.
