I travel frequently and often book rooms for groups professionally, so I’ve experienced my fair share of hotels around the world—and I can say with confidence that Novotel Santa Cruz is one of the best.
The rooms are consistently clean, modern, and comfortable, with thoughtful touches that make every stay feel like home. The hotel itself is beautiful and well-maintained, from the lobby to the dining areas to the pool and common spaces. Everything feels fresh, updated, and welcoming.
But what truly sets Novotel apart is the staff—especially Claudia. She is an absolute gem. Coordinating group bookings can be complex, but Claudia makes the process seamless and stress-free every time. She’s professional, responsive, kind, and incredibly good at what she does. In all my years of working with hotels across multiple countries, she is the best I’ve ever worked with—hands down.
If you’re traveling to Santa Cruz, whether solo or with a group, don’t hesitate to book at Novotel. You’ll be well cared for, and if you’re lucky enough to work with Claudia, you’ll see exactly what I mean.

It is needed to be updated and have a proper training of personel into the hotel to be as how it...

I stayed in a room on the top floor with big problems in the wifi coverage. Restaurant menu and service is a bit poor, if you are looking for a business hotel it is not the...
