Chaminade Resort And Spa

Great facility! Our room felt like an elegant tree house with the redwood deck extending into the woods. The staff was perfect and the food was amazing and really fun. Ostrich Carpaccio - WOW! Current rates makes this resort a bargain!!

Not worth staying away from...

Liked: The room was nice.
Disliked: The pools are much smaller than what they looked like in the pics. One of them was closed and the other one was so crowded that we gave up . The long chair area was also pretty packed.Santa Cruz has both the ocean and a vibrant downtown. This hotel is a 15 min drive from all of that. We decided for this hotel hoping for a glorious afternoon at the pool. It was pretty disappointing.Staff was also not really on top of things. We have witnessed folks still waiting for their room at 4:45pm, some negotiations around food service in the pool area. We waited 50 min for our food at dinner.

They need better staff

Liked: Views were beautiful. Restaurant was nice.
Disliked: I was double charged.

Understaffed ruined vacation.

Liked: I love the location.
Disliked: They were full and under staff. My room had the carpet soaked, and it took almost 24 hours for them to arrange another room. The staff attitude was unacceptable. I had stayed here before and was looking forward to enjoy the facilities, but it just increased my stress.

Average
