Top De Anza Beach Hotel Reviews

Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Staff, Clean Room, Affordable Rate on Rooms"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Stayed at La Bahia for two nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: - nice amenities! The gym was clean with a pretty good selection, the pool was super pretty with a nice sized hot tub, and we loved our spa experience (we got an outdoor couples massage) - the hotel’s decor was well designed and continued in the guest rooms - our room was spacious and liked how big the bathroom was - we had a room with a pool view and it was fun to just hop over the short barrier and grab a drink from the pool bar hehehe - super close to the boardwalk and warf Cons: - some parts of our room didn’t seem the cleanest (our room’s tea kettle had a hair in it and there were some glass rings stuck on the coffee counter) - the bed was really soft (not in a good way) and made it hard for my husband to get a good sleep - the low tide restaurant associated with the hotel was a bit disappointing and it took a long time to receive our breakfast after we ordered - I don’t know how well their text the front desk communication works… tried texting for an item to be sent to our room and after waiting for a reply for 20min, I ended up calling the front desk While I give this place a 4/5, I still don’t think it’s worth the bang for your buck. If you’re paying that much for a nights stay, the place has gotta be pretty close to perfection and I don’t think it’s there yet."

Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing! We originally were given a room and upon attempting to turn on the television we realized it was not working. We went to the front desk and a wonderful staff member went up with us to investigate and it turns out it definitely was not working. We were given and different room immediately with a functioning television and the room was gorgeous. Breakfast was delicious and we had a very comfortable stay."

Lighthouse Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house awesome location! I know that Santa Cruz isn't usually hot this time of year, but it was in the mid to high 80s and the AC was either broken or didn't work very well at all. Just take into consideration if you are staying during the super hot months! Other than that, it was a fabulous stay!"
