The hotel was lovely, with a decent kitchen for an extended stay. However, the King size bed was too small and almost useless. The service was helpful but lacked assistance with tours. The location is relaxing but a bit secluded at the end of town. The dining was complimentary but disappointing and finished early.

The hotel rooms were very nice and comfortable, reminiscent of 4-star hotel rooms visited in the past, despite being small due to the hotel's family-style setting. The service was excellent, especially in assisting with tasks or questions, although lacking effort in tour arrangements. The location was great for exploring Santa Cruz independently, being close to Tortuga Bay and the town center. The dining experience was simple but good, and the facilities offered were satisfactory overall.
