Casablanca On The Beach

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent
"We had the family room, which is such a great, large, unexpected room to have in a hotel, near the beach. I highly recommend it for groups that don't mind sharing the sleeping space like a sleepover. Conveniently located, cool, quaint property."

"Comfortable beds. Mexican restaurant around the corner walking distance. Walking distance to the boardwalk. Perfectly placed. All hotels in Santa Cruz are a little used and beachy. Perfectly safe. I will probably stay here next year when we come."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

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."
