Santa Cruz Trip

The landscaping and vegetation was park like. But after that things go down hill - I was led to believe I would have a room with a beach/sea view, That was not the case and there are no such rooms. Then the rooms have no clear windows. There was a nice folding door to a nice patio - but all the windows were opaque (same for the other 2 windows) and you had to keep the doors closed because it was too hot. So the room is very dark all day and not a desirable place to be in - they don't seem to get the idea that when you wake up in the morning one wants a nice view if not the sea - at least the garden area. Then there were no dedicated beach lounge chairs and the area in front of the hotel on the beach was strewn with trash. Further out closer to water's edge there are some lounge chairs and umbrellas that can be used if you buy a drink from the beach vendor - these were rather run down. Then there is the swimming pool which was well kept - accept that the local flock of crows were constantly doing bird baths on the infinity side of the pool - making one wonder what biologicals are in the water and no desire to go for a swim to offset the heat.

Incredibly tranquil and would love to come back again. Very intimate and beautiful setting. Great facilities and the food was wonderful.

Really dated I booked an indulgence room. It was terrible Swimming pool is in the shade and really cold water. Only 6 sun loungers around it because nobody went in the pool. Clean towels supplied smelt horrible. Always got dirty feet when I had a shower as they obviously don’t clean the floor
