Blown away by this magical place. Such a gorgeous property. Carefully curated yet very accessible (not stuffy). The staff were all just lovely -- super helpful, friendly, thoughtful. The food was just amazing. Cara Cara would be a world class restaurant in a major city. And the little touches like snacks in the room - lavender sachets from the property when you check out - were next level. Come while you still can; this place is going to be really popular.

I couldn't resist sharing this review—it was a truly magical experience! The grounds, pool, and restaurants are beautiful, but it's the staff that really stand out with their perfect service and attention to detail. If you need a reset or want a peaceful escape, this is the ideal spot! Don't miss the horseback riding adventure—visit the horses, including a funny donkey, and chickens! Great farm-to-table dining! Enjoy a meal at The Green Room while watching the waves, and at CaraCara, both right on the property. Oh, and don't forget to look up at the sky in the evenings and watch the moon, stars, and constellations

We had a great stay here. Staff is primary reason, close second is the location. It is expensive relative to other options or other beach side resorts along the California/Baja coast. One big reason is Baja/Mexico has a large tax on items - rooms 33%, cars & food/15% by my best estimation. Staff seemed to love their jobs, cared about our stay and enjoyed engaging with us - maybe more humoring us : ). Rooms were fantastic, comfortable and I can't express enough how nice it was to have the roof top. There is a hot tub (not shallow) along with a fire pit and a large lounge couch with umbrella...great space. Food is good for the most part, some hits and some misses, but overall good...again, just note there's a 15% charge on top of the menu price.

We loved this our time at Villa Santa Cruz and will definitely go back if we find ourselves in the area again. The staff were amazing, the service excellent, grounds and property top notch. We saw so many whales in the ocean, and such great birdwatching as well. The beach is pristine and peaceful. The pool is clean and lovely. The hot tub was actually hot too! The only thing I would factor in to your stay is that the roundtrip transportation from SJD is a little pricier than I expected. Not a huge deal, just something to consider when budgeting for your trip.

Todo Santos is a beautiful town, this hotel has a great beach front location, and a beautiful villa setting and a great restaurant.

The breakfast that was included with our stay was delicious, the bartender making drinks poolside Aaron was so sweet and made the best mango margaritas from scratch ( so good).

It was a girls weekend getaway ( four adults) so we shared “The Familia” suite, it had a nice little kitchen set up.
A plush king bed, but the two other beds are not true twins, the length is that of a child's bed.
I had called the hotel directly to inquire about the room once booked, and I spoke to a gentleman who told me he could accommodate two rollaway twin beds, somehow this was a miscommunication as they were never an option, they managed to set up a bed with added cushions to give it length, so it was workable.
The issue was the two girls that slept on those beds were attacked by some kind of insect/ bug. I slept on the king bed and had no issues the first two nights, but by the third the girls were frustrated and extremely uncomfortable, we brought it up to front desk and they quickly cleaned up and addressed the issue, I slept on the “twin” third night and did not experience the bites thankfully.
Also the bathroom was nice and spacious but the shower had the worst water pressure, the outside pool shower was better.
We had a great time overall the place is nice just lacks a few details.

Super Villa Stay

We were absolutely delighted with our stay! The accommodations are spotlesly clean and the grounds are beatifully maintained. Blissfully slept on the most comfortable bed while lulled by the sound of the ocean waves nearby. At 7 in the morning hot coffee, hot chocolate and mini empanadas were by our door to enjoy on the back deck while watching the little birds in the bushes. Then, early morning walks on the beach. We would have enjoyed our stay even more if the weather had cooperated; it was chilly so we didn't enter the pool but did enjoy the large jacuzzi. We stayed at one of the separate units by the pool that I thought was what we booked. However, apparently the booked unit was in the main building that has a center staircase that is hard to navigate if you have any mobility issues. Fortunately, the unit by the pool was made available to us. Antonio prepared the most delicious margaritas we'd ever had which we enjoyed by the pool while we waited for our room to be readied. The Green Room restaurant dinners were fantastic. Even better, we walked there along a short path from our room.
Getting to the Villa is tricky even with the detailed instructions kindly emailed by Jessica, one of the owners. I would suggest downloading a local map of the Todos Santos area to your mobile phone before traveling there. Between the map and instructions, we got there! We even stopped by the Tortugero, the turtle rescue mission along the way from downtown to the Villa.

Beautiful villa right on the Pacific Ocean.

Matt & Jessica made us so welcome from the fresh margaritas on arrival to home cooked breakfasts every morning and a fresh pot of coffee delivered to our room at 7am daily.

The villa and gardens are stunning and right on the beach. We were able to spot whales and flying rays from their palapa or roof deck and walk down the beach to one of the best surf spots on the Baja Coast.

Such a beautiful place. We'll be back!

Amazing Best Ever

Don't even know where to start. We are very well traveled and have never stayed in a place so beautiful. Every aspect was so well thought out. It felt so exclusive and remote yet was only 15 mins to Todos Santos. Beach was all ours. Water too rough to go in. You can walk forever on beach and never see anybody. Sunset over ocean: pick your spot to watch, the sand, the crows nest on beach, your room, rooftop patio and the list goes on. Start your day with coffee and tea waiting at your door. Breakfast excellently prepared and presented out of doors or in doors by a lit fire. Pool is great plenty of shade and there is always a lounge chair for you or a hammock if you prefer. Palapa / crows nest on beach is inspired! Lay in your Hammock while kids play in the sand all while you take a break in the shade. Climb upstairs to the crowd nest and recline against the pillows for a little nap in the shade while the ocean lulls you to sleep. Sit on your second floor balcony and watch the stars come out. Very little light in the area to compete with stars. Time for your evening meal in Todos Santos's : walk down beautiful glass stairs lite with multiple candles to the fountain foyer all lit with gas lites. I could go on and on but you need discover the rest for yourselves.

Superb facilities. It is like a high end resort with just 4 rooms. So, all of the amenities but very quiet and tranquil. Excellent staff, great pool, comfortable rooms, and an awesome palapa with a crows nest out on the beach where you can sit in the shade with a cool breeze watching the surf break on the sand.

Romantic Ocean Villa With No Detail Overlookef

One of the top three boutique hotels my wife and I have visited. Matt & his colleague Carl could not be more pleasant and helpful. Not one detail from gas lamps and candles to Owen the turtle (who lives in the interior fountain) was over-looked. With only four rooms, this is similar to being invited to your friend's house. Enormous concrete bath tub The entire hotel can be rented with kitchen priveledges. Third floor roof is worth the trip by itself; high powered gas fire pit, benches, stand up wet bar with 4 stools, a round table, bench table and a rolling skylight that opens allowing the outside into the lower levels. A second house (inside not seen) is available for rent. Aged tequila honor bar. Large pool with hot tub and colorful chaise lounges/umbrellas. Hammocks at pool and ocean-front. Virtually no detail overlooked. If you need a break from life where every detail and every request is taken care of, here's the place. The Aguave Suite is top notch and fronts the ocean. Matt was helpful in making reservations for swimming with the whale sharks in La Paz, providing suggestions on good restaurants and showed how much pride he had in the beautiful boutique hotel he built. A tray with a pot of coffee is delivered to your 100 year old door at 7 AM. There are few ways to start a day better than sitting on a private balcony, watching whales and having fresh coffee. Fresh flowers from the estate were placed on our mantle that request. Clean, romantic and a great value.

Best Place in Mexico!

If Villa Santa Cruz has availability during your dates, you're a very lucky person! This is the most amazing property we've had the opportunity to stay in. Everything has been thought of to ensure you're comfortable and cared for while you're there. The beach is a 1 minute walk through a garden and it's almost deserted. We didn't run into any other people for the 3 days we were there. The pool is always at least 80 degrees and you can whale watch while lounging on a pool float. Lastly, the \"Crow's Nest\" palapa was my son's favorite part of the whole experience. He was up every morning at 7 to read, watch the sun rise, and whale watch from 20 feet up.
This place is a dream and you won't regret one second of your time!
