About this property

Welcome to SUITES & BUNGALOWS SANTA CRUZ

SUITES & BUNGALOWS SANTA CRUZ presents a relaxed, Colonial-style atmosphere with vibrant touches, featuring an outdoor pool that offers views of the ocean. The hotel includes a combination of suites and bungalows equipped with kitchen facilities, which guests have highlighted as clean and comfortable, though some note the rustic nature of the rooms. The property also provides beach towels for guest use, adding practical convenience for those spending time by the sea.

Located just a minute's walk from the nearest beach, the hotel benefits from proximity to several notable beaches such as Playa Carrizalillo, 2.7 km away, and the popular surf spot Playa Zicatela, 4.8 km from the property. Reviews emphasize the quiet nighttime environment and straightforward access to local dining and shops. While situated on a main avenue, occasional street noise has been mentioned but generally does not disturb guests significantly.

The facilities include two pools, a small but pleasant area to relax, and a restaurant on-site, enhancing the convenience of the stay. The setting is enhanced by palm trees and greenery, with a pool area that feels somewhat private due to the limited number of bungalows. Air conditioning is available in bedrooms, though some living areas rely solely on ceiling fans, as noted by previous visitors.

Rated 4.1 from 90 reviews, SUITES & BUNGALOWS SANTA CRUZ attracts a diverse crowd, including LGBTQ+ friendly guests, looking for a balance of comfort, location, and value. Its convenient location, including a short drive to Puerto Escondido International Airport, makes it well-suited for travelers interested in beach activities and local surf culture.

Es un lugar muy agradable con habitaciones amplias, muy limpias y cómodas. A unos metros de la playa principal. Tiendas y restaurantes a pocos metros del lugar. La alberca pequeña pero muy agradable. El área de camastros es bonita y arbolada. El único detalle es que esta sobre la avenida y suelen pasar algunos carros por la noche y hacen un poco de ruido pero nada molesto.

We stayed in a two bed suite with a kitchen. Everything was always clean and tidy. Staff were nice, friendly and helpful. Location was amazing. It was quiet at night and near everything you needed. Two pools and a restaurant on site. Always had hot water. They loan you towels for the beach!

My wife and I stayed here for a week and it was absolutely perfect. The location is 10/10, right across the street from Zicatela. The pool is nice, clean and in the shade for most of the day. The hotel is very conveniently located and well maintained. I could not recommend this place enough!

Excelente ubicación. Entorno y precioso con palmeras y mucha vegetación. Hay pocos bungalows por lo que esta la piscina muy cerca. Parece privada con poca gente. Terraza con hamaca. Aparcamiento. Instalaciones quizás necesitan alguna renovación. Cocina completa. Buena relación calidad precio. Ventiladores en techo y AA en la habitación. Pero si alguien duerme en el sofá del comedor no hay AA. Recepcionistas muy agradables (es l recepción del hotel Santa Fe). Dan toallas para la playa gratis
