"Die Klimaanlage ist in einem Schlafraum, jedoch kann man sie geschickt mit zwei Ventilatoren in die anderen Räume umleiten.Wir waren zu dritt fünf Wochen dort und fanden es ganz toll dass wir eine Reinigungskraft zur Verfügung gestellt wurde. Die Unterkunft ist ruhig gelegen und nicht zu weit abseits, so dass man in kurzer Zeit zu Fuß ins Ortszentrum und auch zum Strand laufen konnte oder eben ein Tuk Tuk oder Aluguer nehmen konnte. Alles Gute und vielen Dank"

"Unsere Buchung hatten wir Wochen vorher gemacht, man wusste also, dass wir kommen. Vor Ort war die Kommunikation erst recht freundlich und man gab uns das angeblich "beste Apartment" des Hauses. Wir schauten uns ein wenig um und stellte dabei fest: - Die Fernbedienung zur Klimaanlage fehlte - Es gab so gut wie keine Ausrüstung in der Küche, also keine Pfanne (nur zwei uralte Töpfe), kaum Gläser, nur eine kleine Tasse und einen einzigen Becher, kein Sieb, kein schafes Messer, keine Schüsseln,...

Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Casa Jardim di Sol

10/10 Excellent

"I like the decoration , massages, the diner time They Rome was very clean, the staff was very polite."

Praia Confort

8/10 Good

"Praia Confort is conveniently located right in the heart of the city, within a 5min walk of the beach and several restaurants. The room was on the small side, but the beautiful mountain views from the balcony made up for it. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and breakfast was decent. Unfortunately, the service was a bit of a mixed bag. I found the male staff friendly and helpful, while my interactions with the female staff were less welcoming. The bathroom was also quite small, and the soap supply was insufficient, I had to ask for more just to take a shower. The biggest downside was the Wi-Fi. I’m not sure if the connection was poor because I was staying on the 7th floor, but it worked much better in the lobby than in my room. Overall, the hotel’s central location, proximity to the beach, and mountain views were definite highlights. However, improvements to the Wi-Fi, bathroom amenities, and customer service would make the stay more enjoyable."

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."

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."

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."
