Great location near the bus terminals and in centre of town. Lovely open plan hotel restaurant. Double bedrooms on the balcony are great. Comfortable clean with air con and a fridge. Lovely owners who were kind and helpful. Delicious breakfast. Bar restaurant nexr door is great fun and full of lively locals. 1.5 block away is a great little karaoke bar too. Loved every bit of our stay.

Amazing stay in beautiful house. The terrace has a Chorotega roof and there is a beautiful Pool. There are beautiful plants around the house and sweet lights along the path. It is surrounded by fields and nature and there are lots of birds and iguana's.. Alicia and Monica are very very kind and willing to help with everything. Monica even made me breakfast so I could taste the traditional Chorotega food. They made me really feel at home. It is very special to stay in Guaitil village. The pottery is excuisite and if you stay more days you have change to visit all the shops and see the different styles. They use still the old traditional methods to make the pottery. The people of the village told me a lot about the pottery and the symbols. I did a multi-day-pottery workshop with Andy, so I could see the whole pottery proces. Also I visited Don Juan from 'Sol de Vida' in the village next door to learn about medicinal plants and the old Guanaste foods. Which is very interesting since this area is the actual bluezone area. I can really recommend to stay here, it was an unique experience I will never forget.

La casa del Artesano !Casa completa frente al mar!

We loved that the beach was right in front of the property. Alejandro, the host, was super kind. Communication was quick and he helped us with everything that we needed. He made our stay (2 adults, one 5 year old and a baby) very comfortable. Parking is right on the property. If you are interested in fishing, the beach is amazing to catch some nice fish: there are roosters, jacks, trigger fish, blue runners, mangrove snapper and more... Locals there know how it's done and fish there daily. They are kind and can help you out. If there are plenty of sardines in the water, safe your time with artificial lures. Get some sardines and fish on the bottom. You won't wait long for a bite ;)

The owners were having a pool built at Miniapartemento el Guanacaste, so we took up their offer of staying at their other property, Casa Brisa Marina (also on booking.com), to which these comments relate. Diego had very good English and was exceptionally helpful. I had very good WhatsApp communication with him and he made useful suggestions about things to do. The property was in a good location for exploring the coast - we particularly liked Playa Conchal, Playa Junquillal and the boardwalk to Playa Avellanas. Casa Brisa Marina has 3 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Plentiful supply of hot water for showers. Well equipped kitchen - particularly liked the 2 ring induction hob. Unfortunately the oven wasn't working while we were there. Good outdoor seating. Bed was comfortable. Lots of electrical sockets.

    Santa Cruz has a lot to offer for shoppers of all ages. Everything you require is within walking distance. Lots of Soda's Y restaurants and bars. Seems to be a safe town. I did not feel unsafe walking at night

    We stayed at Hotel Diria for two nights...we came straight...

    We stayed at Hotel Diria for two nights...we came straight from the Liberia Airport. Santa Cruz is not a tourist destination, we chose it because it was only an hour from the airport and we wanted a hotel within a half hour of the wonderful Palo Verde boat tour in Ortega and our fantastic visit to the traditional pottery community of Guaitil. The rooms are basic and clean. The grounds are beautiful, the people are friendly and they serve a very good breakfast. There was a good restaurant (La Terraza) a block away. A tranquil setting in a busy town.
