Little within walking distance (though some might see this as a pro)
Located outside of Santa Cruz in a gated community, Celeste Beach Residences and Spa is a contemporary luxury option overlooking Conejos Bay. The laid-back, boutique hotel has 21 two- and three-bedroom condos, each equipped with full kitchens, washing machines, and massive balconies with ocean views. There are two dining options at Celeste -- the casual poolside snack bar serving lunch, and the upscale Pur which serves breakfast and dinner. With a modern fitness room, lovely infinity pool, and private beach, there are a few nice activities to keep guests occupied, but the hotel’s location outside of town means nothing is within walking distance. For those looking to be closer to town and the nightlife of Santa Cruz, consider Binniguenda All Inclusive in downtown Santa Cruz, at a much lower price.

Scene
Laid-back and tranquil condo-hotel popular with families and couples
Built into a hill, Celeste Beach Residences and Spa is a luxury property that has a tranquil and laid-back vibe throughout. Housing 21 condos, the hotel is spaciously spread across several buildings along a private beach, with each condo occupying one floor to ensure plenty of privacy. Located in a quiet, gated residential community, the hotel is ideal for those looking to get away and relax in a secluded setting, though some might miss the lively nightlife of Santa Cruz. While all beaches in Mexico are technically public, the beach at Celeste is surrounded by high cliffs to either side making it difficult for anyone else to access the beach and allows guests to enjoy a mostly isolated beach paradise. This protected area of Conejos Bay means no motorized water sports are permitted, so there’s no noise pollution to bother guests looking to spend their days quietly lounging by the pool or beach. Families, couples, and groups of friends are among those who stay here.
