• The location was wonderful, quiet, calm, with panoramic views of Santa Cruz and ocean.
• After our credit card being charged, hotel applied additional $16.00 per night. Unlocked hallway doors.

“We stayed in the mid-week. It was very quiet, calm and the panoramic views from the main terraces were spectacular. The room was large and very comfortable. The grounds were beautifully landscaped. It was a great getaway. I enjoyed the serenity.”

• Lounge was comfortable and had great view.
• Room was small with view of parking lot.

“Chaminade is a great place for a conference but not what I'd call a luxury resort. Our room was just okay - small with minimum amenities. The walls were thin and noise from neighbors was distracting. The view from the room and from the patio was of the parking lot so we didn't sit outside and kept our shades drawn. It would have been nice to have wine glasses in the room. The area was heavily wooded and beautiful. Quiet and serene (except for the noise at night from our neighbors).”

• Very comfortable bed, nice linens, nice hot tub.
• Walls were thin, no elevator.

“Older facility but nicely renovated. Large room with dining area but no refrigerator. Very comfortable bed with nice linens. On a busier stay noise could be an annoyance as the walls seemed thin. Hot tub was clean and hot! Situated just inside the forest
- we saw deer grazing by the pool.”

• Staff very friendly and accomodating.. The setting and grounds, excellent.
• Mildew on the bathroom tiles and walls. The feather bed had quills sticking out into the sheets making it very uncomfotable to sleep,

“The hotel staff, view, grounds and and room decorations were excellent. We changed rooms because my husband wanted a forest facing room. They gave us a handicap room which had mold and mildew on the bathroom floor tiles and walls. Totally unacceptable.”

• There were cloths left in our room, we changed rooms 3 times.

“The staff was moderately helpful when we complained about cloths being left in our room as we checked in. We were then moved to a new room which was not a 2nd floor room as we had requested, and then we were asked to move again to a different room down the block. It was very inconvenient and the room we finally ended up in smelt like pot and cigarettes.”

• Spacious, great scenery, quiet, and secluded.
• The hotel staff were rather pretentious.

“Loved that it was a very secluded resort. Scenery was remarkable. Great place to stay with kids. Enjoyed sitting on the back porch with the family. Comparable to a home away from home. Very relaxing and would absolutely go back again.”

• There was some renovation being done at 8:00am which was ab noxious.

“This hotel has a lot to offer its guests. The fitness facility and spa are very accommodating to guests. the heated salt water swimming pool is great.”

• the staff was excellent. It was quiet.
• The rooms had spider webs. we had to ask to have the room cleaned every day.

“I am upset that I was not told upfront that there was a resort fee of 16.00 per night. I asked if I was all paid up and the registration assistant said yes, I was all paid up no more fees. Then I get a charge on my credit card of 40.30. I would have been fine if someone told me upfront.”

• Surpisingly luxurious and felt like you were staying in a private villa.
• Should have a fridge a
  microwave in the room and unfortunately wifi is not free!

“Excellent and classy decor and clean! though you have to pay for a hotel service fee, the pool and exercise facilities are more than
I expected.
My wife also had an excellent facial experience except for the receptionist who wasn't as friendly, otherwise, overall the total experience was 5 star!”

• It looks over the city of Santa Cruz. Great views, spa and resort.
• Had to pay for the Internet.

“The hotel is a spa and resort and has all the items that you expect with that. There are hiking trails, good restaurants, a bar with a great view overlooking Santa Cruz, tennis courts, beautiful decoration, etc.”

• Very comfortable room and bed, beautiful location.

“Unfortunately I did not stay very long. I was up there for a graduation, didn't arrive at hotel till very late and left early in the morning. We had a beautiful scenic room which was very very nice. I would love to go back and enjoy the spa, room and hiking some other time.”

• Beautiful surroundings, serene and relaxing.
• Breakfast buffet was a waste of money and the service was poor.

“Fabulous hotel especially for spa people. Kid friendly but not in the restaurants. This place has a fabulous view and is located close to Santacruz and capitola. Water pool and tennis courts. Would definitely stay again.”

• Super friendly staff.
• Charged for parking, charged for everything, noisy.

“We had a fabulous romantic getaway. The staff is so friendly we ate breakfast at the restaurant on site is was wonderful. Every night we had cocktails, fabulous staff in bar/lounge. Even in the rain it was so beautiful. The con was the hall was very noisy, you could hear everything going on. Also, the charge for everything, for instance to park there. The resort is up in the hills, where else are you to park ($16.00 a day)!”

• The location was pretty.
• Full of bugs, very noisy-paper thin walls, poor customer service.

“I had been to this hotel many years ago. I was so terribly disappointed this time. Ants all over the toilet, we changed to another room that was an adjoining room. The next door neighbor had three noisy children and the walls were paper thin. We could literally hear their entire conversation. Our second room had silverfish bugs in the bathtub. The room was poorly decorated and in general, it was a very unpleasant stay. We tried to get a 1:00 checkout (1 extra hour) and were told no. After all that we tolerated, they would not give us one extra hour.”
