Bad night
Hotel is mostly fine. The room is ok but the bathrooms are uncomfortable. The hotel has a museum attached to it that it’s truly interesting. The restaurant I s fine and breakfast is good. Our last night they apparently planned some repairs in the room above use so at 2 in the morning we had enough and had to get dress and go to the lobby to complain, few minutes latter they stopped the work.

Beautiful property, incredible service
Wow! We had a fantastic time at the Santa Cruz Plaza hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff was extremely attentive and helpful. The property is beautiful, restaurant delicious, and it’s very conveniently located. Parking was easy and secure, too. A big thanks to the hotel staff for going above-and-beyond. Highly recommend!

A gem in the wine country
The Plaza is a gem in the wine country. It is old but well maintained. The architecture is interesting and features many items like bas relief sculpture and stained glass. We had a comfortable room facing an inner courtyard which was quiet. Outside rooms on the plaza might have a lot of traffic noise. The grounds are beautiful, with a small stream running through the property. The restaurant opens onto a pleasant, tree shaded outside courtyard by the outdoor pool. The is an indoor pool and spa but we did not visit. We had good lunch on the day we arrived. We went to breakfast each morning and found very mixed results, ranging from a great omelette bar on the weekend to weekday buffet that featured cold, hard bacon and lukewarm, mostly liquid scrambled eggs. The service was attentive and friendly, however. The concierge, Pablo, was fantastic. We had a great time chatting with him and getting laughs for our weak attempts at Spanish (we are English speakers, and found most of the staff could handle this well). He helped us plan excursions into the wine country, recommended great places to eat, and gave advice on the best way to drive to Vińa del Mar (our next stop). The hotel is next to a museum and a casino. We spent several hours enjoying the museum, but did not check out the casino. Maybe next time.

a very pleasant stay with very friendly staff and an excellent breakfast buffet. if you come by car on a busy weekend, you may have trouble in parking inside and will need valet parking to park the car at a secure outside facility from the same hotel. to get it next morning may take a while.

We normally stay at VIP hotel as they treat you special. We do not mind spending a little more. Room was not upgraded. In fact it was probably one of the worst rooms in the hotel as we looked out to white wall. With all the great balconies they have this is how they treat VIP’s. Will not return here

Hotel Santa Cruz has a lot of PROs and a few CONs. I’m an American who travels frequently to other countries and use reviews as a guide. will be very honest with my observations. PROs = property is very nice with resort feel in the quaint city of Santa Cruz. Location was perfect! grounds beautiful and our room was spacious with nice view from 4th floor to the square. Security guarded with a lot to do on property. Ate there twice, both great. BBQ dinner was fantastic. good experience with concierge and restaurant staff. Santa Cruz is safe, easy to walk. CONS = floor/carpet in our room was very dirty. Glad they gave slippers, carper needs a good cleaning. disappointing hotel tour assistance (RoutaTours) and manager we spoke to about a RoutaTours issue not good. We didn’t find all front desk staff to be friendly. My husband speaks fluent Spanish, so it was not a translation issue, more a hospitality issue. RoutaTours took $80 from us and said we were “out of luck” when the wine tour they did not honor one of the tours when we ubered to the location. Hotel did not refund or reschedule. Thier response was that the winery took the money paid and won’t refund back. Manager said there was nothing she could do. Concierge was helpful telling us where to go on our own so we could avoid booking tours from hotel after that. There are a lot of children and families. If you don’t want children running around, playing in pool, screeching, etc., you might want to go elsewhere.

the hotel is well located, close to shops and visits to the vineyards. It is spacious, comfortable, with lots of vegetation. The attention is very good for its kindness and good disposition. It has different spaces where to eat or dine that makes the stay very pleasant. Although the hotel is in good condition, the rooms showed deteriorated paint, and details in general such as the shower was loose, clothes hanger in the bathroom does not work. the nightstands and cushions already show deterioration due to age. the cushions on the pool chairs were dirty. On the other hand, the benefits of VIP ACCESS I did not obtain.

Not the greatest service
Its the best hotel in town, they say ,and I booked 4 roooms. Its got great features and very convenient. Valete parking but it lets its self down. I advised that room 407 the air con did not work on arrival. We went out . On returning they said it was fixed . That was a lie. Next day i reminded that the air con did not work . Retuned in the evening. It still did not work . They advised that they could not get engineers. They said they would move us to anothervroom, and someone would come for the luggage. No one did. We did it our selves in the end. I requested to speak to the managers. Seems he is not available for clients, or there scared and they dont want you to see him. If you don't speak spanish its also difficult. For me disappointing. For the rest of the family it was nice. With lots of features
