“This property strikes me as a smart retreat, set back from the bustle yet still within easy reach of Santa Maria's attractions. I appreciate the conscious design, where oriental touches meet the beachfront, creating a peaceful atmosphere. For travelers prioritizing relaxation and an authentic, smaller-scale hotel experience, it seems a particularly good fit.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Livvo Budha Beach offers a relaxing stay with spacious and clean rooms. The pool area provides amazing sea views, becoming a highlight for many, and a refreshing escape despite the unheated water. Breakfast impresses with fresh fruits, a huge range of pastries, and daily eggs and bacon; however, some guests have found the storage space in certain rooms to be small. Conveniently located, the hotel is a short walk from both a sandy beach and the city center of Santa Maria, offering a calm atmosphere near local cafes like Art Kafe and Cape Fruit Cafe.

The pool area offered AMAZING views of the sea. The pool itself was not heated. It provided a refreshing respite from the heat. Breakfast included fresh fruits alongside a HUGE range of pastries. Lovely eggs and bacon were also available daily.
