Hotel Review
El Barranco
Santa Cruz

Incredible hotel and staff. Best location. We almost chose a more expensive hotel, but when we got to the area we realized we made the better choice. 10 out of 10. Walkable to shops, the main pier for water taxis, restaurants. Honestly you could eat and drink at the hotel because the food was incredible. Gorgeous view and pool!

The chef was wonderful! The food was so good, and more than we could possibly eat. There were turtles all over the area. We got fresh food from the farm before we made our food.
