Hotels near Hoja Santa, Crucecita

Quaint and colonial hotel, in the heart of Santa Cruz. Had a loft style room, very spacious, with a bar fridge, 2 flat screen tv, one in the living room, and one upstair. Breakfast was included from 8am to 11am, I had omellets every day, made to order, with a variety of sides. The staff behind the workstation go beyond to serve you, plus the servers. The pool was amazing, with patio lounge chairs and sun umbrellas. Everything is close by, restaurants, Chedauri, and Chahue Beach. I would definitely stay again at Villablanca. Met some wonderful people from Chilliwack, London, Markham, and Saskatchewan.

This hotel is well located for walking around the area, 5 minutes from Chahue beach, 3 minutes to coffee across the street, 12 minutes to Santa Cruz beach and about 15 minutes to Crucesita. Staff is friendly and rates are decent. It’s also very clean, amazingly clean. Rooms are big with small balconies. Unfortunately there is only one chair in the room and no patio furniture on the balcony, so not easy for two people to sit on the balcony at once. Two items I would like to see them improve; closet space is limited, so it’s difficult to unpack for a longer stay, and there is no coffee maker in the room. Small fridges are available on request. Our air conditioner worked very nicely. The pool is decent for both kids and adults and it gets decent shade which is nice in the heat. I would certainly stay again.

Great spot for a home base, close to everything; shopping, restaurants, connections to other areas, but quiet and not a lot of traffic. beautiful common areas, garden and plants well tended, pool is fantastic, restaurant is amazing with great staff. the room was a bit dated but was huge and clean and quiet. couldn't have hoped for more - especially for the cost. would definitely stay again!

We checked in the hotel at 3 PM parking our rental car straight from airport no stops to their parking. Which is a lot behind the guard booth with the gate that goes down and up by a security guard who questions and then allows you on the property and tells you where to park. The night we check in our air-conditioning goes out. It’s mid 80s at night with a tropical storm pouring rain. So we had to **** all doors & windows, meaning zero air flow. Next morning we go downstairs and tell them of the problem. They sent 2 different teams of people to fix it to no success. We advised him we will be leaving the property and when we come back later this afternoon if it wasn’t fixed we were ok with changing the room. We walk out to our car to our surprise was damaged in the parking lot. Not by a car but looks like a cart or something hit it. There is an employee/work entrance where I saw all types equipment being carried between cars yo the door. Wise they will look at their cameras. Come to find out that the cameras do not face their parking lot on their property. Even though there is a bar, a restaurant and an employee entrance and work area entrance. Their told us cameras on face the security booth to let you into the parking lot and the front of the hotel. Returning to the hotel and changing our rooms from a king-size bed to a queen size bed which is a $40 difference tonight. That was not refunded back to us, so we were charged for a more expensive room that we were in one night. The 2nd and last night in the second room we noticed the floor was completely wet in the bathroom and figured maybe they had mopped before we came in. We were wrong also wrong. We dried the floor and later that night going to the bathroom both of us nearly fell to the ground because the floor was soaked again. The roof was leaking. Not in one location but all over. The queen size bed mattress was broken literally broken down. To the point if you were within 3 inches to 4 inches away from the edge of the bed the mattress would just roll you off the bed. That morning we informed them will be checking out of the hotel due to one night at a room with no air conditioning, Iour rental car was damage on their property and then taking no accountability, and the third night let’s just call it a wet room with a broken bed. They refunded the other four nights we had scheduled, but would like to give us back the difference for charging us for emergency room the one night. Seven restaurants on their property however we couldn’t get guacamole and took over 1hour 30 minutes to figure out they have frijoles. I asked for a manager everyday as I know the people working the counter we’re not able to fix these issues. We weren’t able to have a conversation until 1 week later after calling daily. This provider gave me $15 worth of credits for my troubles. WOW way to make your customers fell appreciated🏆
