Guest reviews for Hotel Santa Fe
"I loved the traditional Mexican style of the decor, Top notch bedding, The restaurant was very good, and the staff were so friendly and attentive. Thank you José for all your help!"
"It’s quite pricey for a traditional older Mexican style hotel."
"One of the best features was the size of the room, which was very large. We also liked the terrace and pool area, which had a great view of the ocean and was a great place to watch sunsets. We appreciated that they had an "adults only" pool. The beach right in front of the hotel was too rough for swimming comfortably, but we could walk 10 minutes north along the beach to find good swimming areas with beach chairs and umbrellas for 200 pesos for the day. The hotel's location was in the quiet part of town, but close to several good restaurants."
"Nothing to mention."
"We enjoyed the view of the Pacific, the colonial structure, the staff, the guests, the entire experience!"
"Nothing"
"It's well located and clean, staff is very friendly, especially Miguel Angel, the waiter at the pool. The pool and the dining area has a lovely view to the ocean, great to spend the afternoon and watch the sunset."
"We didn't have our room cleaning, but the staff sent water, more soap and fresh towels right away."
"The ambiance is magical at this hotel. There are views of the sea or the pools through amazing foliage everywhere and lots of quiet spots to hang out and read, drink, nap or swim. I loved the fact that there were two pools, and the length of the adult pool was amazing."
"Breakfast. The coffee was mediocre and the bread was stale."
"The location, facility and pool were excellent. Staff was super helpful and attentive. Terrific bed and bedding."
"The room furnishing and bathroom were old. They needed to be updated. Lighting was very poor."
"The staff was amazing, always very helpful. Also the restaurant because the food was really good and has a nice view to the beach."
"Maybe the only thing that didn't like is that it doesn't have an elevator for elderly people."
"Great location and service. Very charming. Renovations underway."
"It’s dated, but clean and beds / bedding very good. They are undergoing renovations so will be improved. The pools were great and lots of seating !"
"Very good staff service. Nice pool and patio area with great ocean and sunset views."
"Can't think of anything."
"we very much enjoyed our stay at Santa Fe. Its location is perfect—on the beach, close to many restaurants, but off on a side street so it’s quiet and peaceful. we would like to make a special note about the staff, in particular Criselda and Iberth. Throughout the stay they were helpful and nice. Pleasant staff like them made our stay even more enjoyable."
"Adding fresh fruit to the continental breakfast would be welcome!"
