Top Santa Cruz Main Beach Hotel Reviews
Marea Sol Hotel
8/10 Good
"Great view of the beach from our balcony. All the food, fun and surf is just across the street"
Hotel Solares
10/10 Excellent
"We were very happy with the staff and the condition of the room. Nice and close to the beach. Walked there in about 5 minutes. Best hotel we have stayed at considering the many times we have visited. The only negative thing about the hotel was no breakfast with my stay like most hotels."
Torch Lite Inn
8/10 Good
"Great location, nice front desk clerk. Room was fine except smell in the bathroom. It needs a more powerful fan. It smelled really moldy. No way to air it out."
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Good clean hotel, very good location with very friendly stuff"
Dream Inn Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"First visit at this hotel and it was beautiful our room had a nice ocean view and a slight view of the pool area. The rooms were clean and we fell comfortable with our young Babies."
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"We booked our stay through Expedia, expecting a room with a balcony and an ocean view. Unfortunately, our dining experience at the High Tide restaurant was disappointing. From the hostess who seated us to the uncomfortable low seating at our table, everything felt subpar. The food had no flavor at all, especially when compared to their sister property, Bernardus, in Carmel Valley—there’s simply no comparison. On a positive note, the pool and staff at the hotel were excellent and very accommodating. However, while the room was decent, it did not justify the additional price we were charged for our two-night stay."
Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
