Garafia Vacation Rentals

"Gorgeous hotel in a fantastic part of Santa Cruz. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Love the rooftop terrace for a nice afternoon cocktail. Can't wait to come and stay there again!"

"Excellent value for money in a lovely setting, the half board buffet was good quality. All staff were friendly. I stayed after getting off a cruise and was allowed access to my room at 10am, this was really appreciated. Would definitely return to the hotel. It is beside a beautiful beach and lovely coastal walk."

" Nice hotel with beautiful views, beach close by, parking was available as well as some restaurants. Rooms are not climatized, plan ahead."

"Very comfortable, chilled 3 night stay. "

"Such an amazing place to stay. A true oasis of calm and relaxation. Staff were all very friendly, helpful and professional. Room was huge and very comfortable. Breakfast very good. Always quiet around the pool."

"Pool is great. Made my stay. "

"The staff were very friendly and wanting to assist. "

"For a four star it was good. Thumps up. only a few things that should not spoil it for you... 1. Only 1 heated pool in the Autumn. 2. For meals you are told where to sit, rather than choosing for yourself. (I felt like a school child, after queuing to get in the dining hall) And a member of senior staff, very rude, for a chair that was not allocated to a table that we wanted to sit on. Very bizarre, on every meal. The food was very good. 3. The other staff including reception, were great. "

"Buena Vista is gorgeous! The property is situated in gardens overlooking the Atlantic, catching the rising sun for breakfast and the setting sun highlighting the windmill in the west of the in the evening. The style is local and simple, with an imaginative decor . The hosts greeted us like old friends and arranged a birthday cake for my husband and horse riding up in the mountains. We enjoyed their company! The only negative comment was that the swimming pool was not functioning but we believe that this will be available again next year. Thank you Joakim and Karina ( and Alma the dog)!"
