Villa Santa Cruz

A very special stay in an incredible, unspoiled location! We stayed in the beach tents and could not have loved our experience more! Bed was very comfortable, soaking tub and hammock were lovely, and we loved having a private beach bonfire lit each evening before falling asleep to the soundtrack of crashing waves. We even spotted several whales! The front desk staff is incredible- any special requests were answered graciously and promptly. We never waited very long for anything! The cleaning staff also did an amazing job keeping our tent sand free and impeccably clean. Service throughout our stay was seamless, timely, and gracious. There are a lot of little, thoughtful touches at this hotel that go a long way towards making each stay more comfortable and special- (electric) pillar candles lit at turndown service, coffee and mini muffins delivered to your room each morning before breakfast service, a nightlight in the bathroom, snacks refreshed in the minibar each day, etc. One very small suggestion would be to add fresh fruit to the in room minibar set up for the health conscious. The gardens (!!) and facilities are also incredible at this property. It is clear that a lot of thought and intention has gone into creating this very special place. Though there aren't currently any spa facilities, we heard rumors that one is in the works, and really, this is the only thing I can think of that would have improved our stay and position Villa Santa Cruz as a wellness destination. We would love to go back and take advantage of facilities like an infrared sauna, plunge pool, or temezcal. However, the massages we got in the palapa near the beach were *superb*. We also really enjoyed the sunset beach horseback riding experience. Suez was incredibly tuned in to the ability of each rider, matching demeanors and personalities to each horse. She made sure each rider had individual instruction and was comfortable before heading out of the paddock onto the beach. The horses are all rescues and they are very clearly very well cared for. The ride was very scenic and peaceful along the undeveloped beach, past a palm tree oasis with views of the mountains. Truly spectacular. We also appreciated the ethos of the property- they focus on recycling, reducing food waste, reducing plastic, etc. While we were there the owners were hosting a fundraiser for the local high school. Our dinner at the Green Room was not our favorite food of the trip, but I think perhaps we ordered incorrectly. The scenery and setting, however, were absolutely unrivaled and I am comparing food quality to an incredibly high standard set elsewhere in Todos Santos (don't miss Jazzamango, Agricole, or Carnitas Miguel in Pescadero!!!)- I would still classify the food here as "solid/good", just not "great". Still well worth going for the incredible setting at sunset. VSC was one of the most special places we have stayed anywhere, and made for a truly restorative trip! We will undoubtedly re

Amazing!!! Amazing!! We had such an amazing time at Villa Santa Cruz. The property is stunning and everyone there is so warm and welcoming. Feels like having an extended family. The owners are all spectacular hosts. So excited to return!
