Top De Anza Beach Hotel Reviews

Beachview Inn

8/10 Good

"This hotel was in an excellent location. The staff was super friendly and super close to the boardwalk. The only complaint is that the sheets had some stains on them but they were clean."

Marea Sol Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beach view and stayed at first floor which is all a bonus cause it’s quick and easy. Only downside is there’s no microwave in the room and coffee maker doesn’t work. At the price these two basic should be always be there and available."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was basic. I dont think Pets should be allowed. I dont want to see a pet peeing inside or outside. Pet dander. I have friends allergic to pet hair. They could never stay at Hyatt. Bottom of hot tub needs cleaning a few people were complaining about that. I agree. Should have happy hours (free) Wed-fri. Free chartuerrie or chips & salsa. Should NOT charge for parking."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"The property was a good value for the price. It was dated but comfortable and fairly conveniently located."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Exquisite! What a beautiful hotel! Wish we were staying longer. Everything was impeccable and beautifully decorated. The architecture is amazing. Loved the location. The bed was super comfortable with fine linens, one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Spacious luxurious room with a balcony. The restaurants were very nice as well. No need to leave the property if you just want to relax! Well done, La Bahia!! I hope to return soon!"

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

"Regular TV viewing"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Staff and breakfast was great! I really was offended by the daily on premises parking fee of $25 per day. It was never clearly posted on any site. I would have paid for a higher reasonable room rate and had the parking as a amenity service like the advertised free morning breakfast."
