Pensions in Cantón Santa Cruz

"This resort is clean, safe, fun, family friendly, beautiful, beachfront, accommodating. My son had an accident and the entire staff came to help him. They treated us like their own family, I cannot be more thankful for their kindness and care towards our family. I love this resort! Highly recommended!!!! Will visit again and again. The staff is SO friendly!!! Safe safe safe!"

"Probably the best resort style place in town"

"This place was absolutely gorgeous. The Hotel Santarena was incredibly clean, the staff were incredibly friendly, and it came off as genuine and warm. It was my first time to Costa Rica and I would recommend the Santarena to anyone that wants to have an amazing experience. It was a quick drive from the airport in Liberia, and it was conveniently located in an area that was not far from other great places to experience like Tamarindo and the Diamante Eco Park. And if experiencing local life and food is on your list of desires, just 10 minutes away was Potrero with some incredible food with the kindest locals at Los Abuelos. I recommend the Red Snapper. But seriously, the Santarena was a great stay experience. It was all inclusive and we were so incredibly well taken care of. "

"Beautiful garden-like property! Excellent service, people were very friendly and helpful. The food quality and selection was great. The beach was right across a small road and the hotel had its own private gated beach area with daybeds, lounge chairs, dipping pool and bar with food orders available. The overall ambiance was perfect for a serene and/ or romantic getaway, for adults only. Loved it! "

"Beautiful location, staff, and hotel! Great restaurant and we especially enjoyed the family of howler monkeys we saw several times on the property. "

"Stayed 6nights in the club room and it was worth the upgrade. Property and rooms were beautiful, hot water all the time ++, the premium liquor was top shelf the staff/bartenders were overly generous w their pours. The staff was wonderful and accommodating. They didn’t skip a beat. I travel regularly out the country and have stayed at plenty of all inclusive resorts and the Westin Resera was excellent, they did not disappoint. The beach was beautiful, no seaweed in sight, a lot of complimentary activities. It was a very chill, relaxing vacation and exactly what I was looking for to celebrate a bday w adult family. I would 100% recommend this resort for both families and adults as the adult amenities were very separate very much enjoyed. "

"We will be going back."

"We had a fantastic vacation with our family. The rooms are clean and the property is well kept. The beach is beautiful, but the water was rough. If you want to enjoy a calmer water you can walk or uber to the town beach it’s beautiful and close to the resort. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. I enjoy that they had juice stations in the lobby and at the snack bar, so if you were thirsty you could help yourself anytime. The food was delicious and had a great variety for everybody. At breakfast I absolutely enjoyed the smoothie station- all from fresh fruits. The only thing I would preferred to have air conditioning in the buffet. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we would return to this resort. Lovely vacation. "

"Will definitely be coming back, and definitely located at the best end of Tamarindo beach - safe and less crowded. Beautiful and quiet, and exactly as described. Staff was kind and helpful. "
