Hotels in Santa Cruz

Need to book a hotel in Santa Cruz, Costa Rica? Unfortunately, you won't find a whole lotta places to base yourself within easy reach. But you're spoiled for choice if you travel a little outside of town. Choose from 92 accommodation options within a 30-kilometre radius of Santa Cruz's downtown area.

You might have to pull out your map and travel outside of the city to find them, but the Naxos Condominium and the Crystal Sands are brilliant options. You should also consider checking out the Hacienda Pinilla Vacation Rentals and The Westin Golf Resort & Spa, Playa Conchal - All Inclusive.

Want more options? The Reserva Conchal is situated 25 kilometres from central Santa Cruz, and the JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa is 25 kilometres away. More options include the Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas, 30 kilometres away, and the Hotel Riu Palace Costa Rica - All Inclusive, 35 kilometres away.

Don't blow through before you've had a squiz at the Canopy Vista Tamarindo and the Casino Diria in El Guapote. The El Sabanero Eco-Lodge and Angels Ecolodge are a few of the hotel options here. 25 kilometres to the west of Santa Cruz you can also stay at Pinilla, home to the Cafe Playa Negra and Las Avellanas Villas. Tamarindo Church and Blanca Beach are just some of the most popular sites to check out when visiting Pinilla.

La Agonía, Church of La Ermita La Agonia and Iglesia Inmaculada Concepción de María are just some of the awesome things to see and do in Liberia. This regional centre is 45 kilometres north of Santa Cruz and has a population of 45,000. Liberia Parque Central and the Museo de Guanacaste are a couple more attractions which are sure to offer up some envy-inducing photo ops. Liberia has hotels and apartments that should suit most tastes and budgets, including the Canon de La Vieja Lodge and Las Espuelas Hotel.

On the last flight to Santa Cruz? Completely dog-tired? Then it's probably a sensible idea to find somewhere to stay near the airport. The Green Sanctuary and the Costa Rica Yoga Spa are just short cab rides from Nosara Airport, 30 kilometres from the centre of town.

Most recent Santa Cruz hotel reviews

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort
lastminute.com.au Verified Review
5 / 5
This was such a peaceful vacation — the views were absolutely breathtaking! It’s a lovely local hotel with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. I booked an ocean-view room, and hearing the waves while watching the sunset each evening was truly magical. A quick note for future guests: the hotel is divided into two areas, though all part of the same property. If you book a pool view room (which overlooks the larger pool), it’s located across the street from the main entrance. That side features a beautiful pool surrounded by rooms, complete with a swim-up bar. You’ll just need to cross the street to reach the beach. If you choose a beach view room, you’ll be on the main entrance side of the hotel, which has a pool, a kiddie pool, direct beachfront access, and the main restaurant. Both sides are wonderful, and guests can enjoy the amenities of each no matter which side they stay on. The breakfast buffet was excellent — plenty of fresh options — and the pool stays open until 9 p.m., which was perfect for a relaxing evening swim. Overall, I had such a peaceful and enjoyable stay and would definitely come back!
