1 night getaway that was peaceful and relaxing
Posted 14-Jul-2014The bed was so relaxing and cozy that we were able to catch up on some much needed rest. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere and view of the ocean, however we were underwhelmed with the food. The house red wine was fantastic though and Jr., our waiter, was fantastic!

Beautiful setting great service
Posted 07-Jul-2014Chaminade is a gorgeous resort tucked away in the Santa Cruz mountain staff was pleasant. Service was excellent. The resort was dog friendly which was great for our Maltese. Didn't get to enjoy the spa but it looked amazing. That's the excuse to go back nextra time.

The woodsy side of Santa Cruz
Posted 22-Jun-2014We enjoyed the forested setting and watching the deer while we had breakfast on our deck. The room was spacious, the bed very plush/comfy, and the shower head mounted at about six and a half feet which we love. I took a morning hike on the Trail that rings the grounds. It has a decent amount of up and down sections and feels more remote than it really is.

Beautiful grounds and convenient location
Posted 16-Jun-2014Beautiful grounds. Lovely terraces to enjoy a glass of wine and/or a meal. Staff are very pleasant. Location convenient to Highway 1, beaches, and short distance to downtown Santa Cruz and Capitola.

No stars are too many
Posted 03-Jun-2014The front desk person literally hung up on me and the shower had no handle. We had to use our own wrench to adjust the temperature.

Convenient to the highway
Posted 27-May-2014Cons: Better service and amenities.
I stayed here with my daughter for a 3 day soccer tournament and expected more from what could be a spectacular location. The spa was open and accommodating but had no nail service !! Room service was quick but the veggie plate ordered multiple times was different each time - once included grapes, veggies and cheese, once no grapes and once no cheese or grapes...same price though. It was an ok room in a convenient location.

Anne- Thank so much for the time we spent speaking. After speaking with the Chef and the team involved you order one day included a kids fruit and veggies tray the next day the sent out a fruit and cheese tray. Both on our menu but separate items. While our Spa is focused mainly on body treatments I will continue to watch the trends on nail services to determine if it makes sense for our operation. Again, we appreciate your patronage and look forward to welcoming you back. Kevin Herbst, General Manager

Nice place to stay!
Posted 19-May-2014Pros: The staff was VERY accommodating, helpful, and nice to talk to. The grounds are very beautiful!
Cons: It would be great to have TWO spa's by the pool. ONE strictly for ADULTS - no kids allowed!......and one for kids only. Sharing is not very fun!
It was our anniversary and the hotel staff was VERY accommodating to our celebration. We were upgraded, had menu items and a bottle of wine compliments of the hotel. The social hour/wine tasting was wonderful. The staff was very social and fun to talk to......as was the other hotel guests. The pool was nice and the new gazebo's were a nice addition.

A place to relax
Posted 13-May-2014Pros: Nice facilities
Cons: Remodel showers
The hotel is in a great setting for those looking to get away from the daily stress. It's an older hotel which make some features not quite up to par with a 4 star rating such a very outdated bathroom, but the rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable.
