Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Hotel Vip Praia

10/10 Excellent

"I didn’t have a universal charger and they provided one to me right away. There was a water leak in my bathroom and I informed them and they switched my room within 15 minutes of knowing about the issue. They also called a taxi for me at 4:00 AM and the front desk spoke clear English, if that’s a concern for you. They are a great staff, have great wifi connection and have water, and other free goodies that make your stay more welcoming. Yes, welcoming is the word I’d use for this hotel, especially the staff."

Syds Guesthouse I

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is lovely 😊"

Praia Confort

8/10 Good

"Good bank for the book. There was a steel smell in the hallway in the bedroom when we walked in. The building is old but for the price, it was reasonable. Breakfast was very poor. Selection could improve. I probably wouldn’t stay there again, but if you’re staying in the downtown area, not such a bad selection."

Pestana Trópico

10/10 Excellent

"Only resort that is handicap accessible! Stuff are friendly and helpful! Great customer service! definitely recommend"

Boutique Hotel Praia Maria

10/10 Excellent

"We just stayed one night between island hopping . This delightful hotel in an older but beautifully maintained building is central on pedestrian only street . Dinner choices, shopping and groceries are all nearby . Live music entertained us on the lovely patio that looks over the street . You are about 10 min taxi ride from airport and cost is 1500 CVE (about 15€). For great coffee and ambiance including live music don’t miss Cafe Sophia."

Casa Jardim di Sol

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice the staff, the pool the room and breakfast was amazing my cousin said they will coming back again."

King Fisher Village Eco-Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was excellent, and the view was to die for and the location is very exceseble. The only problem is that I only stayed on night😂. The place is worth to stay more then one night."

Hotel Vulcão

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing to say"

Hotel Pérola

8/10 Good

"I was a little disappointed when I thought the room I booked had an ocean view and it did not. The building is nice, clean and staffs were friendly and courteous. Tiles on floor need to be replaced since some had cracks in them and some parts of the building can use some fresh paints. The Buffett breakfast was good."
