V!VA User‘s Description

The Casa del Lago is part of an effort by owner Elena Albarado to offer tourists alternatives that emphasize social and cultural responsibility. Suites are rented on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis.  Both housing units have fully-stocked kitchen units and stylish architectural design and furnishings. Recycled glass fragments in window frames play with incoming light; hand-painted tiles add flair to showers and staircases; and wild fabrics give the walls, ceilings, and beds a spicy character. The residence is adjacent to the Casa del Lago Cafe Cultural and looks out on the spectacular Laguna Las Ninfas. This is a comfortable and affordable option for travelers looking to venture outside the norm. The owner can also arrange custom-designed tours for student groups and other parties interested in educational tourism.  Tours visit local hot-spots, farms, and residences and generate proceeds that directly benefit Santa Cruz residents.

Nice but too pricey

Rating: 25%

A lovely place, beautifully furnished. But it's way too much money and the owner has raised the price 30% as of Januuary, 2008. In fact, she tried to charge us the new price even though she had quoted the old one in our e-mail correspondence. Also, it is noisy given its location. But the food is great. I'd recommend staying somewhere else but stopping by for breakfast or lunch.
