Very nice hotel with a very nice staff in a good location.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 3 Feb 2019via mobile
We stayed in the Camino real for about 8 hrs in between flights from Salar de Uyuni and the US. The Camino Real is in a nice location across from the Ventura mall(about 25 min from VVI airport). The staff was VERY friendly and even offered us boxed breakfast since we were leaving before breakfast was served in the morning. The grounds are very nice with a tropical feel. The rooms were nice with flat screen TV’s, bathroom was nice with good water pressure in the shower, though the sink had an issue but at 1am I didn’t really feel like calling to complain.
The hotel also has a taxi service, which is extremely convenient.
Overall it was a nice short stay and I’d stay there again.

What a great hotel. The reception desk staff is very professional and extremely friendly. The bar is really good and the atmosphere is nice. The restaurant is always good and many locals eat at the restaurant as well. The rooms are very nice, extremely clean and the bed is very comfortable. To make an extremely nice hotel better their spa is top of the line. I just had one of the best massages ever. The pool area is big and spacious and very well maintained. A great pool bar. When you arrive you can tell this is a resort hotel and very well managed. I highly recommend the hotel.

One of the best hotels in Santa Cruz de la Sierra indeed.

It is probably a bit expensive compared to brand new Marriott and Radisson nearby hotels, but considering its premium location it could make sense the price tag even for a holiday season.

Pro:
Beautiful indoor and outdoor decoration
Room in the tower was spaceful with a great view.
Restaurant staff friendly
Good food variety and tasty both for breakfast and lunch.
Pool areas and activities for children was good.
Frigobar variety was good.

Cons:
I did complain twice about the room phone not working. It was not fixed at all during our stay.
No parking valet and lack of enough parking spaces.
During check out, I called (from the hallway phone) the bellboy for assistance. After 30 min no one showed up. Had to bring our stuff by ourselves.
Basically, I can say, there is room for improvement with customer service overall, taking in consideration that it is a 5 star hotel.

I love this place. I always stay here while in Santa Cruz. And I choose it over other hotels because of its wonderful spa. However, this time I was disappointed about the loose regulations of the spa use. A sign at the entrance says that "No children under 18 are allowed into the spa", for obvious reasons: a spa is a place for relaxing and resting. Both are impossible things to achieve if there are 10 screaming children. When the spa manager was addressed, she told us that children are allowed in if outside weather is not good.
I think that rules are there for a reason. Besides medical ones -child dehydration, for instance-, people like me choose Camino Real and the spa to get a relaxing time. It was impossible to get some, and the manager didn´t gave us a solution.Will think twice before choosing Camino Real again if there is bad weather.

The place is huge and lovely. Requested a Royal Suite with twice the space of a regular suite and balcony overlooking the pool area. Got an early check-in and late check-out with no issues. Service is excellent. Breakfast buffet included with ample variety of food including custom made omelettes. Highly recommended for value as pricing is below comparable facilities in the US.

Room tip: Center Suites in original building are larger and less expensive than those in new tower
