🛏️Jethro Hotel and Resto
About this place
Built in 2024, Jethro Hotel and Resto is one of Santa Cruz's newer accommodation additions — a charming 1-star hotel in Brgy. Pag-asa with 9 well-appointed rooms and a restaurant on the ground floor. For travelers wanting reliable, affordable mid-range comfort in the town center, Jethro is among the freshest options in the municipality.
The Hotel
- 9 rooms, all fully air-conditioned - Hot and cold shower in every room - Free Wi-Fi - Complimentary breakfast included - Genset-ready for brownouts - Pet-friendly - Free coffee for guests - Restaurant on the ground floor — fresh home-cooked meals - Access to kitchen (for guests who want to cook) - Accessible for a range of mobility needs
That feature list lands the property in clean mid-range hotel territory — not luxury, but everything that should work, works.
The Restobar Side
The ground-floor restaurant serves fresh, home-cooked meals — the kind of comfort food that pairs well with a long travel day. For solo guests and small groups, having food a flight of stairs away is a real convenience.

Where It Sits
The hotel is on Lopez Jaena Street, Brgy. Pag-asa — town-center location with the Sta Cruz Municipal Police Station as the nearest landmark. Within walking or short tricycle distance:
- Market - Pasalubong centers - Banks and ATMs - Medical facilities - Town plaza and Holy Cross Parish
That cluster makes Jethro a good base for travelers who want everything within a few blocks rather than spread across the municipality.
Why It Works
Among newer Santa Cruz hotels, Jethro covers the bases without overcomplicating: clean rooms, on-site food, central location, and the small touches (genset-ready, pet-friendly, free coffee) that show the team is paying attention. For a 1- to 2-night Santa Cruz stay, this is a solid pick.
Best Time to Visit
Year-round. The restaurant runs daytime + evening hours; ask current schedule when you book so you don't show up to a closed kitchen at 9 PM.
What to Bring
How to Get Here
On Lopez Jaena Street in Sta Cruz Centro — one of the central commercial blocks. From Balanacan Port, jeepney to Sta Cruz Centro and walk over from the town plaza. Easy to find on foot once you're in the centro.
Local routes, fares, and ferry schedules can shift without notice — and travel times depend on weather, traffic, and tide. Confirm fares and timing with the driver or locals before you set out.
