Probably the best hotel in Santa Cruz

I have stayed at many hotels in Santa Cruz during 20 years of traveling in Bolivia. This is the one I keep returning to. Top notch from start to finish, and highly recommended.

The hotel facilities, food and its staff were great! It would be a solid 5 stars for me except my stay for vacation and relaxation was met daily by 9 hours of a hammer doing some kind of construction up me. There was no sleeping in or coming back to the room during the day to relax and take a nap. Very frustrating. I ended up checking out a day early.

Excellent hotel. Nice pool and sauna and small gym - excellent for Bolivia. Friendly staff and decent breakfast. Only gripe is the coffee machine outside the breakfast restaurant: it isn’t free. This is my second stay there in 2 weeks and they had no indication of that the first time. I saw the second time they put a sign saying it was 20bol.. they only charged me 15bol the week prior.. minor detail.. My go to hotel when I arrive in Santa Cruz.

Excellent hotel. Disappointed that there was no notice that the pool was being fixed. They offered free entry to a water park instead but we didn’t have time to use it. Just really wanted the pool. But otherwise faultless. Amazing breakfast included. Clean and comfortable. Beautiful gardens to enjoy. Great location.

Wonderful and unique place. There is free coffee around the clock (to accomodate the many Brazilian gusts, I'm sure) but no drinking water! When we asked for a bottle of water, we later found it was charged to our account! IMO this should be courtesy but FYI if you plan to book. Great breakfast buffet! Overall, one of the nicest hotels I ever stayed at.
