    Super cute, small hotel with awesome rooms. The owner was extremely friendly and spoke good English. We booked a tower room and were impressed on the level of detail the rooms were designed. A little bit outside from the habour road but still...

    A real refuge in Santa Cruz, with a very attentive and helpful owner. You can also book a boat trip with him which was also very enjoyable.
