Santa Cruz Hotel & Travel Guide\n

Santa Cruz does not have a large amount of hotels or lodgings. However, people who don't mind shacking up in the surrounding area will have a load of Travelocity-listed places to stay. When you spend a few nights at any of the 92 short or long-term lodgings within a 19-mile (30-kilometer) radius of Santa Cruz, you'll discover and experience the best of what the region has to offer.

The Naxos Condominium, Costa Rica, which is the nearest accommodation, is positioned 17 miles (28 kilometers) from the city center of Santa Cruz. That said, how about you check out the Crystal Sands, located in Costa Rica, which is 17 miles (28 kilometers) from the city center.

The Luxury Villa Rentals at Hacienda Pinilla is around 16 miles (26 kilometers) away from central Santa Cruz. Another place to stay is the The Westin Golf Resort & Spa, Playa Conchal - All Inclusive, which is situated 17 miles (27 kilometers) away. Another option is to investigate the Reserva Conchal or the JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa.

Still looking for things to do? You could spend some time enjoying Safari Surf School and Frog Pad, which can be found in Nosara, 20 miles (34 kilometers) south of Santa Cruz. Travelocity-listed Nosara lodgings include the LAcqua Viva Resort & Spa and The Harmony Hotel. 30 miles (47 kilometers) south of Santa Cruz, you may also choose to stay at Carrillo, home to the Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort - All Inclusive and Hotel Guanamar. The Samara Beach and Carrillo Beach are some of the most popular places to discover when you're in Carrillo.

Just because you and your family are on vacation, who's to say that you can't feed your obsession for sport. You can find Tronadora Arena 50 miles (79 kilometers) to the east of Santa Cruz. Anybody that hope to find a Travelocity-listed hotel near to the action can compare the Hotel Puerto San Luis or the Hotel Cielo Azul Resort.

For travelers flying through Daniel Oduber International Airport, you may find it convenient to book Travelocity-listed rooms at Hilton Garden Inn Liberia Airport, or Hotel Rincon del Llano, both of which are a short ride away.
