Santa Cruz de la Sierra

The room was great, good location, and as my first review not sure how to phrase it but basically the guy tried to snap my bank card in half upon paying the bill- which while travelling would have left me a little stuffed. So maybe he had something against me but I would be wary. All the other employees were lovely. 

Nice but left with bitter taste

Had a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 showers and 2 toilets.   Good water pressure and hot water. Close to plaza.  We booked again at the end of the trip.  Dated and worn furniture at least in our room. I Can definitely recommend. Nice for bolivian standards. Friendly staff,  administrator speaks good english.  

Nice place with lots of room!  

Maybe it was the fact that we arrived in the middle of the night, maybe it's the dodgy-looking surrounding area, or maybe I just don't know what the overall standard of accommodation in Santa Cruz is like... but I have to admit I don't understand all these excellent reviews here. 

Our room was dark with not enough light even with lights turned on. The bathroom was really-really basic and old. The room was actually quite dirty and the kitchen sink was full of what looked like black dust or something. There was no curtain across the glass balcony door so we were completely exposed to the outside. It just felt quite depressing and not like a place I would have liked to stay for more than 1 night. 

I have to admit that the owner, who we met the next morning, was extremely polite and helpful, plus he spoke good English as well. 

Apologies to him if this review is a bit harsh, but I just don't feel that these reviews are representative.

Just about OK

My sons (11 and 14 years old) recently stayed at Terrasol for the entire month of July and I strongly recommend staying here.  Danilo (the owner) picked us up from the airport himself, called for taxis when needed (even for a 6am flight), sent one of his employees with me to purchase a local phone, and arranged for the exchange of some of USD to Bolivianos while I was away with my sons.  He and his friendly staff are available 24 hours/day to help with whatever is needed.

The apartment itself was spacious and clean and housekeeping cleans and changes linens regularly.  The full kitchen was invaluable with two growing boys (cereal and milk are a snack staple for us).  Laundry service is available for a few $/kilo and is returned ironed and folded within a day or two.  Hot showers are reliable as is the free wi-fi (both not always the case in Bolivia).

We'd been warned off the location as unsafe, but we never had an incident or even a moment when we felt unsafe.  The city center is a lively, vibrant spot -- full of restaurants and stores and Terrasol is down the street from a huge outdoor market where locals shop for everything they (and you) might need.  There is a Tia supermarket a few blocks away that carries a great assortment of standard grocery items  and a bakery around the corner with ridiculously affordable saltinas and bread.

The Plaza is a lovely, interesting place to walk around during the day and evening -- full of families and children, seniors playing chess, etc.  The Cathedral is a beautiful community place with people going in and out all of the time.  Santa Cruz isn't as tourist-heavy as other parts of Bolivia and although we stood out as non-locals, we never felt endangered or even uncomfortable.

If you come to Santa Cruz, know that Danilo and his staff at Terrasol will make you feel welcome and cared for and that the inner-ring should be explored and enjoyed rather than feared and avoided.

Great for Family Stay

Modern rooms, good wifi, fully equipped kichen with cooking utensils etc. Breakfast was brought to our room but wasn't amazing but then it's hard to get a decent breakfast in Bolivian hotels.

Excellent customer service at the desk, which is sometimes all too rare...
