This is the first time we have stayed in Santa Cruz and we're aware that we would be more or less under the flight path - this may not suit some people, but we actually enjoyed seeing the planes in ( it's not Gatwick after all). The view from our 2nd floor room was about 75 yards from the sea, overlooking a square. We had a balcony which was well shielded from the winds. (The weather was not particularly good for our stay). The hotel was immaculately clean. The reception, bar/restaurant staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast was OK, but if critical, it could have been served a bit warmer - there was plenty of choice. Air con in the room was efficient and quiet enough to be on overnight. The shower wa excellent, with very good water pressure. The views from the 6th floor restaurant would have been lovely in better weather. We paid £45 per night for B&B and would definitely stay again. Santa Cruz is a lovely little village/town, with quite a few restaurants and bars. Has a good atmosphere.
