Top Bananna Belt Hotel Reviews

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Hot tub not working. Cart for cleaning staff should have air filled tires, it was loud when carts were moving on the catwalk"

Seascape Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at Seascape Resort many times over the past 30 plus years, tu[pically in the 2 bedroom townhomes. It is a lovely and restful place. For the first time, we stayed in the studios in the main building. It was a spacious and well maintained room with a fireplace, balcony and kitchenette. It was perfect for our needs and very comfortable. we enjoyed the beach, the pools, the bar and restaurant, and the shuttle sevice to and from the beach. All in all a great time. We highly recommend Seascape resort."

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"We stayed here after a day at the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. Check-in was quick and painless. The motel was full and there was still adequate parking. The A/C worked well enough. There are several food options and a convenience store within an easy walk. The Beach Hut Deli on the corner makes a mighty fine sandwich, and you can even have a beer while you wait. The only ding on this motel is that the bathroom was a bit tired. The sink was down to steel in a couple of spots and please repair the stripped spline in the shower temperature control."

Chaminade Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night and I wish we could have stayed for a week! Beautiful property. Amazing staff. Front desk was so kind and on point. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in. Room was huge and well laid out. LOVED the patio. View onto beautiful trees and trails. It was very quiet while we were there. I will absolutely be back."
