Hotel Silken Atlantida Santa Cruz

From March 2023 to March 2024 I stayed here perhaps 5-6 times and it really stands out as one of my favourite layover hotels. What first caught my attention was the sheer size of the rooms. Almost a mini apartment/suite with a separate living/dining space and then the bedroom area which houses the most enormous bed. My only negative here would be the views...or lack of. (Nevertheless, I do think this depends on the side of the hotel you're staying on. I almost always had to go to the back of the hotel behind reception, and here whilst I think the rooms are definitely bigger, the views are what they are... overlooking the shops on the street next to it. For my last stay I was on the side of the hotel where the main elevator is and whilst the room was much smaller, it was definitely cosy and felt somewhat superior! I have uploaded photos of both types of room) The breakfast is quaint but definitely has a high quality selection of products. Dressing gowns in the bathroom are always a nice touch; as is the coffee machine on the first floor at the back of the building. The views from the elevator on the way up to the gym/jacuzzi area are great and this section is perfect for a quick workout or a relax in the tub. Finally, the reception area smells divine! (Although the first floor at the back of the hotel where the coffee machine/bar is, smells like a dental surgery). Nevertheless, a wonderful hotel and I would definitely recommend for those wanting a hotel with a central location in Santa Cruz- especially in Carnaval season- which I was lucky enough to witness.
