Good location, large room, good staff and great sunset view.
Pros:

One of the best features was the size of the room, which was very large. We also liked the terrace and pool area, which had a great view of the ocean and was a great place to watch sunsets. We appreciated that they had an "adults only" pool. The beach right in front of the hotel was too rough for swimming comfortably, but we could walk 10 minutes north along the beach to find good swimming areas with beach chairs and umbrellas for 200 pesos for the day. The hotel's location was in the quiet part of town, but close to several good restaurants.

Cons:

Nothing to mention.

Pros:

The pools were lovely with nicely kept plants and grounds. The reatraunt was awesome every time we went. We had nachos and the cheese on them was superb. For dinner I had Chiles replenish, never had before and it was a great meal. Big portion. Nice and close to the beach and you can see the sunset from the restraunt.

Cons:

The beds were rocks.

Across from famous Zicatela Beach.
Pros:

The hotel is across the street from Zicatela Beach and convenient to many restaurants. Beach access is simple. The rooms were clean and fully stocked with toiletries and towels. The pools are right outside the doors and the restaurant has ocean views along with superb food. We would stay here again.

The Santa Fe made for a relaxing four-day stay.
Pros:

The hotel was beautiful and beautifully landscaped. I liked that there were two swimming pools, one being reserved for adults. Our room was very spacious. The personnel was extraordinary. It was fun being able to walk to bars directly on the beach for cocktails to accompany the gorgeous sunsets.

Cons:

I was suffering from a sore knee, so all of the stairs were a trial.

Lovely hotel, very comfortable in perfect location
Pros:

we very much enjoyed our stay at Santa Fe. Its location is perfect—on the beach, close to many restaurants, but off on a side street so it’s quiet and peaceful. we would like to make a special note about the staff, in particular Criselda and Iberth. Throughout the stay they were helpful and nice. Pleasant staff like them made our stay even more enjoyable.

Cons:

Adding fresh fruit to the continental breakfast would be welcome!

I would not recommend
Pros:

Nice view of the ocean from the common terrace

Cons:

Very expensive for what it was. The hotel needs to be upgraded and to charge those prices. Reception staff are nit straight forward about room price and type. Staff give you the line of tips when giving you poor service and a noisy rundown room when paying the big price… Quite noisy by the road side.
