This is one of my favorite hotels, and I have been coming back for a few years. The people, property, and views are wonderful!
Great location, very family friendly
Everyone was so accommodating and kind! After a long drive we were able to check into our room early. That meant the world to me!
Chaminade is in a beautiful location on a bluff overlooking the ocean in the distance. The rooms are located in a number of different buildings that span the property. There is a nice pool and hot tub as well as a fitness center and spa, however, I didn’t see the fitness center or spa while I was there. The rooms were rather disappointing. Though the furnishing seemed to be recently updated, they were just odd. The headboard was a non-functional abacus, the coat hanger by the door was a ruler and the signs on the door with your room number also had dominoes. The side tables were large barrels but had very little space on top for anything you might need. There were 4 plugs on each barrel which was nice but only some worked. The room had low ceilings and was rather small with a little alcove that has a sectional bed that was also a pullout. The bathroom was pretty small too. The property has a lot of potential but it needs some sort of an overhaul to be all is can be. The staff was lovely, the bar had great cocktails, the restaurant had potentially beautiful views if the fog wasn’t there. We didn’t try the food but the menu looked tasty. I called and asked for a late checkout on Sunday, hoping to get an extra hour since we had nowhere to go before meeting some friends at 12:15pm and the woman curtly informed me there were no late checkouts because they were fully booked. Seemed unlikely on a Sunday in May but whatever.
Gorgeous area, with trails on the property. Small things were negatives, but the small things matter. Some towels that smelled like they had been sitting, wet, for a long time, the safe didn't work, a key didn't work. There is nothing like a seamless hotel stay, and this was not one. Again, small things, but nonetheless...
Elaine and her team were phenomenal! A great stay during Columbus weekend, starting from checking-in thru checking-out ( very accomodating), the View restaurant service was great, etc. The ground was kept beautiful. Kevin, kudos to your team! Thank you. We will be back. C from San Jose
Great property. We were down graded from our room and did not get what we paid for.
Nice vistas n tree things. Continental breakfast could’ve ran a lil later.
That property was under construction and not very clean. Also the jacuzzi was not working.
Our first time here and we really enjoyed it. Despite not being close to the beach, we were still able to enjoy an evening glass of wine with the Pacific in sight. Great place.
staff was great and the room was clean and modern.
Nice hotel. The dining experience was mediocre. Food was a B. Service was a C. The rooms were nice. The pool was ok -- small for the number of guests. Loved the trails!
Hotel facilities were excellent. However, the $36 additional “resort” fee is a blatantly unfair although common additional charge. Why not charge customers an “air” fee for breathing?

Thank you for choosing to stay at Chaminade for your Santa Cruz getaway. We have a multi-year renovation plan in place, with the main villa having completed a $10M renovation last year. There is more to follow this year but you can imagine, after being closed or at a limited capacity last year, it has been delayed. Thank you for the thorough feedback. Please come back to see us again soon.
