The breakfast was yummy both days that we were there, and the service at the restaurants was top-notch! However, we were disappointed not to have a swimming pool available to use as guests at Santarena Hotel. The rooftop infinity pool was way too small for the number of rooms available.

Very much, enjoyed our stay at Santarena, the help we’re very friendly and with great service. They gave us a ride to the Pickleball courts and gave us a ride back and never charged us. The courtyard effect of the area around the hotel with all the restaurants is very quaint. Is it very nice quiet place, we had an immensely great time.

Beautiful hotel. Wonderful rooftop views. Short walk to the beach. Unfortunately someone from staff rifled through my luggage while in the hotel room and stole $100USD (not passports thankfully). Cash was not in the room safe so partly my fault. But something travellers should be aware of as it otherwise seems like a classy hotel.

This is a beautiful property with about six restaurants in it. We very much enjoyed our stay at Santarena. A few drawbacks were that since the hotel is kind of secluded, we did not have many options for shopping, and the restaurants were quite over priced.
