Upon my arrival at the hotel, I had no clue where things were. I had to ask for directions, and eventually, everything was explained to me. There was a miscommunication in booking; the room I was assigned was not the one I had reserved. After discussing with the manager, I was transferred to a suite. Despite being advertised as all-inclusive, there was only one restaurant open at a time. Although I was informed there were four, only one was operational. Consequently, we were stuck with buffet meals for three days, with one day offering a different experience where someone took our orders. Nevertheless, all the staff were extremely kind and helpful, and the drinks were excellent. The property was very clean. The food and drinks at the beach bar were also great, with another set of excellent staff. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. However, I wished there were multiple restaurant options, especially since I booked the all-inclusive package with that expectation.

Rosa and Manuel were the perfect hosts even though our command of the Spanish language was limited. The location was wonderful, giving us a commanding view of the marina and the bay. We saw the beautiful sunrises every morning. Easy walk into town. The scent of the sheets was heavenly and added to our peaceful sleeps.
Beautiful property, which is lovingly maintained. We loved talking to Loulou, the resident parakeet. She was delightful! We loved the Palapa Suite. Beautiful views and very romantic!

Service staff was very nice, however the front desk was horribly inefficient. Had to ask multiple times for the same things (in English and Spanish) and the front staff would say things will be ready “soon” and we ended up waiting hours. Terrible experience waiting for everything except for the check out.

We stayed 4 days in La Cruz and had a great time.
We stayed 4 days in La Cruz and had a great time. The city is small and quaint. There are many bars and restaurants to choose from. Not much night live but they do have a 2nd floor bar that plays live music, which we went to twice. You must walk the marina on Sunday when they have there vendor fair, it was awesome.

This town had much going on, from the market on the water to good, interesting restaurants. Masala Grill, Ramone's to name a couple. The beach is a good walking spot and views are very good. My accommodation was about a twenty minute walk from town. A good way to make an appetite!

Apart from some initial room cleanliness issues and the lack of communication with respect to changes in restaurant location the stay was excellent. Any issues were dealt with in a very timely manner with the staff.
One 'gripe' is free WiFi, it is obvious, the hotel want the guest to pay for premium WiFI, as such the free Wifi was terrible

The town is quiet, it is a beautiful slice of the past.
The town is quiet, it is a beautiful slice of the past. It has cobblestone streets open air restaurants. Every Sunday they have a huge market at the marina. You can sample local cuisine and buy hand made products. You can also purchase freshly caught seafood. Every night of the week at least one of restaurants/bar have live music. If you like specialty coffee walk to Cafe Shule'l, their food is also great. 63732 Cruz de Huana caxtle Way.

Sunday La Cruz Farmer's Market was fun and tons of vendors and food vendors all along the boardwalk and by the marina. Biggest farmer's market I've ever attended. Delicious Guava cheesecake, free margaritas ladies night Thursdays and awesome view of the marina at Frascati La Cruz. Fireworks on New Year's Eve was amazing. You could see at the end of the marina path about 40 - 50 areas that were setting off fireworks. Magnificent display from Bucerias, Nuevo Vallarta, Marina Vallarta, Hotel Zone, Romantic Zone, Malecon PV all the way to Conchas Chinas. Breathtaking fireworks galore!

This was our first time in La Cruz and were happy to find this very unique hotel. We had 1 of the 2 small rooms and it was fine for the 3 nights there and having the little outside area we could sit at was great! All staff was exceptional and we met the owners and they are very nice. We ate at the restaurant a few times and the food was very good and liked the tables out on the street. Enjoyed the rooftop music as well. Overall a great experience and will plan to come back!
Staff [Yolanda & Mario] - extremely kind & helpful. Authentic Mexican atmosphere and the whole building was spotless. Pool was a good size and deck furniture comfortable and lovely. Many areas for public and/or private use as the space is quite large. Beach in front is quiet and it is a short walking distance to a 5 star hotel for wining and dining. We enjoyed watching the oyster divers each morning while we sipped our coffee on the roof top.
A spectacular place!! Even though the restaurant options are quite limited, the food at any of the ones available has a unique and delicious flavor! The staff is always very friendly; the only issue is that we didn't receive the hotel points or credits for the spa.
The hiking trail in the jungle mountain in front of the hotel is great.
The location was excellent. Only 10 minute walk to the beach and marina. The Villa is beautiful and the gardens are very pretty. The staff including Liz were excellent.

This hotel was perfectly located for us. it was very clean and comfortable and the staff was terrific. We just spent a few days in town but it was an easy walk to restaurants and also the market in the marina . The restaurant on site was very good.
The lovely hotel is right on the beach. There is pool large enough to swim laps.
The grounds are spectacular--put together by the original owner, an artist, who collected Mexican artifacts, tiles, and gorgeously designed the villa.
Great place to spend holidays with small kids. Loved the pools and the new water park. It is also all inclusive but does not feel like the normal all inclusive hotels where crowds are everywhere and food is not great.
A petite hotel with excellent desing and facilities, villas are very nice and kitchen and cookware were always available. Pool is amazing and the jacuzzi marvelous.
Breakfast was fresh ordered and served.
Pool and grounds were beautiful and view stunning!
