Guest Reviews:

- "We had an excellent breakfast pack from them on our early morning excursion. Well presented and packed for us to eat as we got hungry on the boat trip. All were wrapped in eco-friendly packaging. 10/10 We were super happy with how they explained their commitment to being responsible towards nature and what they do to be actively involved. The info in the rooms was presented subtly, although not overwhelmingly. The free shopping bags and water bottles were a nice touch."

Would recommend as one of the best hotel experiences around the world HANDS DOWN" - "The staff was very helpful, breakfast was delicious, the hotel grounds were beautiful and proximity to beach and town were great." - "Great property with incredible staff. Pool is outstanding. Food is delicious. Best hotel on Santa Cruz." - "Location. View. Vibe. Staff." - "The only hotel with own beach, close to the main attractions. Getting there is a bit complicated as you need to use either the hotel shuttle boat or water taxi (one dolar per person) to get from the town. And later walk app. 0.5 km to the hotel. But it is worth it. Recommended."

- "Hotel Acacia exceeded our expectations. The rooms were very clean, had high ceilings, & were beautifully decorated. We had water bottles available to us during our stay & a fridge in the room. The air conditioning was strong & nice (ceiling fans were available above both beds). The beds were comfortable with nice pillows & were large (2 king beds). We really appreciated the blackout shades to make the room dark & having a balcony to dry clothes was helpful. The bathrobes for each guest were a nice touch. The lounge area on the first & second floors were nice added features. The staff were very friendly. Jose & the manager especially. The breakfast available every morning was fantastic. We enjoyed our stay & would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice hotel & wanting easy access to the downtown harbor area. This hotel was a great value & is a great alternative for those looking for a great hotel that isn't as pricey as Finch Bay. We had a very enjoyable stay & I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
