Wonderful experience at Cruz del Vado. The property is beautiful and comfortable. Staff was incredibly accommodating. We had a late check in and their security guard escorted us from our car. We even had treats left in our room. Cant wait to go back!

Plans can change without warning, so yes, you can. You may be able to cancel or alter your El Arenal vacation package for free if you’ve booked in the last 24 hours. For bookings made more than 24 hours ago, you can still cancel or make changes, but your airline, hotel or car rental company may impose a fee. Need more information?
