Top Academy Bay Hotel Reviews

Capitan Max B&B

Capitan Max B&B

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is conveniently booked close (but not too close) to the busiest parts of Santa Cruz- so you can get around easily, but it’s not too loud. The only noise to be aware of is the school nearby- which we found endearing and not disruptive. There is a simple but tasty breakfast offered. And the staff were helpful in arranging a taxi for an early morning check out. A fun but sometimes disruptive part of the rooms are the hammocks- but even when it got in the way, I still enjoyed the character it brought to the room. Overall, I’d recommend!"

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and service are exceptional! The venue cannot be beaten. It’s the only place with a private beach. They have complementary water taxis that take you everywhere. When we got off our boat, they were waiting for us without us, even having to notify them. Definitely would recommend this hotel again."
