Summary: We’ve stayed at this hotel multiple times before and once we knew we were gonna spend some time in Santa Cruz again this was our choice. Khaya was very helpful as always and responded to our needs, whether that was extra towels, notification when our room was ready (we arrived early), or an extra key when needed. This is a great location close to the Santa Cruz wharf and main beach with a hot tub to relax in after a long day in the sun.
