"Beautiful view and very friendly staff. You do have to take a water taxi ($1 and operates 24/7) to the main part of downtown Santa Cruz but the view is worth it! Also it’s across from The Point by Midoro which as an amazing view and food. I would stay there again! "
"Centrally located with lots of choices to shop and eat. A block away from The Port and plenty of taxis available.
The Staff was great and their breakfasts in the morning are incredible! WiFi was a little spotty but that’s the only thing I’d change. They even packed us little snack bags for our airport run!! "
"Relatively new hotel by a family who is passionate about hospitality. Huge rooms, elegantly appointed, and the best bed I’ve ever slept in. Unusual for a rather downscale town, but still felt authentic to the surroundings. Beautiful public spaces on all floors with scenic views. And a genuinely warm staff. "
"The property design itself is unique. It’s close to the main avenue, but still private. The staff was exemplary, everything about our stay was 10/10. Muchisima gracias! "
"Hotel Coloma is in the Main Street with easy access to shops and Pier. Staff were friendly and the breakfast, fresh and delicious with your choice of eggs whatever way you want them.
We needed 1 night prior to cruise departing - this was perfect.

2 minor comments:
- Slightly far from the areas of the restaurants and shops (10-15 minute walk)
- The room only had white light (no warm yellow light) - which I'm not a fan of"
"We loved our stay at Lava House. It has lovely outdoor space with various patios and an open air dining area where breakfast was included. The room and lobby had purified water dispensers for filling water bottles. We stayed three night and could easily walk to restaurants, bars, pier. "

"I stayed in the Wolf suite- BEST view on the island! It was dreamy… the restaurant smells were great and made me hungry… the restaurant itself,(not associated with the hotel) meh. The staff was friendly, but they want to make money off of you- so save your money and go into the town and book your own activities. You’ll save a ton of money. But I liked this place. Very accommodating. It was a little noisy- lots of birds in the rafters and lizards coming in and out… but I actually enjoyed them. I had ample hot water - the best shower! Definitely a suite for lovers although I didn’t have one with me- it left me wishing I did. "
"The rooms were very comfortable, the jacuzzi was a very nice surprise for us, the weather was a bit cold so we had a very good time there. It has a very convenient location you can walk to many places. The breakfast was very good and the staff was very kind. "
