"Absolutely beautiful hotel. The position was amazing and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The restaurants were very good too. I would highly recommend this hotel. If you want a room with a pool at the top, either request a top floor or second floor room. We requested a first floor room and ended up on what I’d consider to be the ground floor, however it ended up being a blessing as we could retreat here when the sun became too much, which it often did."

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was superb!!! When I travel, I shop for luxury travel, it has to meet all my standards and this one hit every box. Comfortable beds, good bedding, relaxing and comfortable living room furniture for watching TV at night, a good spacious kitchen with all the amenities of home etc.. This building and particular unit was Very classy, high end furniture all brand new, a little oasis in your own private surroundings. The top deck with the outdoor BBQ, the dining table and the plunge pool was a huge deal for us. I enjoy floating in the water but appreciate my private space and this is what we had. The unit was Extremely clean and well maintained. Location was within walking distance to all the lovely cafes, shopping and beach. Could walk anywhere and felt safe. Couldn't ask for a better upscale rental unit. THANK YOU for a job well done."

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Es de las mejores experiencias que he tenido alquilando una propiedad para vacacionar. Desde el principio la experiencia fue muy agradable, porque al llegar el administrador nos espero casi hasta las 7 P.M. y nos llevó de la mano hasta el Departamento. Se encontraba en condiciones muy limpias muy bien decorado con todos los servicios, para cocinar, lavar la ropa, agua, gratis, todo lo que una Casa necesita para recibirte de una forma confortable, tiene dos habitaciones. La principal tiene baño, In suite, balcón precioso, y la otra habitación tiene dos camas individuales, un poco pequeñas, pero muy cómodas, tiene también una terraza, extremadamente agradable y que incluso tiene una mini piscina privada para pasar un rato muy relajado, tiene aire acondicionado, realmente fue excepcional nuestra experiencia. Solamente al final en la última noche se fue el agua, pero se resolvió en aproximadamente una hora y media el problema.También la ubicación es excepcional, porque está aún unos pasos de la playa Santa cruz. Entonces es casi tener la experiencia de un All inclusive. Recomendado 100%."

The two bedrooms with king beds are so spacious and comfortable! Our morning coffee on the deck with the view of the mountains is spectacular and out of the sun too enjoy!The upstairs is another gorgeous place for lounging or jumping in the plunge pool to cool off!It’s just a great space. The main pool at the complex is also so nice and big with another pool soon finished. Never played pickle ball but the court was also very nice. This place is very beautiful and quiet and close to the beach and restaurants."
