Top 10 trending Santa Cruz hotels

Pacific Sunset Ground Unit Condo across the beach
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"I have to say this was a very nice place for the price point. The location is great. 5 minutes from Coco and 2 minutes to the beach. Nice pool and secure grounds. Restaurants, convenient store and awesome coffee shops next to the property. If I had to say something cautionary- it would be that it it small. It’s a 2 bedroom but the living area and kitchen are for one or two people. But if you are on the go then it’s a great base camp for more. I would definitely stay at this location again !!!"

"We had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff, our hosts are just lovely. Great suggestions for dinner, breakfast, and places to visit. Just a quick note. When your GPS tells you to take Monkey Trail road. Take it. We did not, and drove a couple more hours than necessary. That was our fault for not trusting the technology "

"We really liked this cool place – super clean, had everything for cooking. The bed was like a dream. The host gave us towels, chairs, umbrella, and a cooler for the beach – super handy. Instead of cooking, we walked 10 minutes along the beach to The Beach Bar and Restaurant for the best meals in Costa Rica. There's also an awesome breakfast spot just across the street with healthy choices, yummy croissants, and great Costa Rican coffee. Can't ask for more. Totally recommend this place if you're...

"This community of small Villas was perfect for our stay. The grounds were beautiful and the staff were very helpful and kind. The location was very convenient, being next to a supermarket and a 10 minute walk from the local beach. The rooms are not luxury, but nice for this price and they have everything you need. We had a problem with our AC unit on the first night, but the staff was quick to offer us a new room while it was being repaired. The breakfast was traditional Costa Rican...

"The swimming pool is huge, can easily accommodate scores of people. Rooms basic, but entirely sufficient for overnight stay. If staying longer, one might like to have a small fridge in the room, especially as no lunch services in the facility. (The two of us had a portable cooler that proved sufficent for out purposes during our one-week stay). Breakfast, dinner entirely satisfactory, the latter served 7-8 PM only. -- Price-to-room ration favourable"

5/5 Excellent
Great for 1 nite before or after arriving at LIR
"Reception is excellent, fastest check in, in quite a while. Car rentals are available onsite. We had dinner & breakfast here before our journey south on the Costa Rica West Coast. There are a lot of family's that use this place as it is very close to LIR airport. The room was spacious, bathroom clean but starting to show signs of needing updating. All the staff that we encountered were fabulous. About the only complaint was that to get a bottle of water you had to pay $5 USD for a quart of local water or $9 USD for the name brands !"
