Not worth the price

We were overall disappointed by our stay at the Chaminade. We hoped for a luxury romantic weekend getaway, and thinking that at that price-point, we couldn't go wrong... What we got were a tiny room, dirty hot tub and drunk college kids all night long. While the Chaminade is beautifully located and secluded, we were surprised to find very small rooms (maybe even smaller than a regular motel) - with not even a real closing bathroom door (not great as a romantic couple thing), the TV was not working (couldn't load Netflix, couldn't turn off so we had to unplugged), the shower was flowing all over with badly located soap so you can't avoid getting your hair wet. I'm also very surprised that at that price point, we still had to pay for our own parking, when there is actually no way of getting there since it is located inside a park. Finally we got there during a UC conference, so the whole resort got really loud with drinking college kids all night long. Our next door room had about 15 of them doing drinking games and being very loud. We felt like spending a night in a college campus, but paid over $500 for it...

So sweet and comfortable, starting from the drive up through the eucalyptus grove to the soft, cozy robe to the yummy bath products... everything was what I needed for a great night's rest. And on the way out the door at 6am I was greeted by the hoot of an owl! Amazing!

Had a great stay at Chaminade Resort & Spa. It felt like a true getaway from the city noise. Only had a chance to use the pool area in the evening, and it was lovely. Ordered room service for dinner and everything we ordered was delicious. Can’t wait to go back next time we visit Santa Cruz.

The rooms are cozy and comfortable. Beautiful views. Quiet and serene. The pool area with jacuzzis is relaxing. The spa is relaxing. There is one side for adults only. It has a poolside bar. Super fun! Dinner was amazing and you cannot beat the views and atmosphere. There’s a fun bar as well. The fire pit is cozy. All staff were so friendly.akecsure you explore the trails around the grounds too. Love it!

Okay, first off the staff here is really great! The property is super quiet and you definetly pay for the view to stay here. The rooms definetly need a revamp just the dungeon like feel the rooms are just too dark for my liking and for the price you pay just does not add up really. But the location and views is what your paying for maybe better off to pitch a tent in the woods probably would be more justified. The beds are comfy just did not like having to change my room several times while staying here that sucked but other than that we had a calm nice time here staff is super sweet, the pool and the fire pit at night is nice too. The beds are actually pretty comfy too but that is about all I can say about the dungeon rooms just too dark for my liking. I do appreciate getting the nice fruit plate after bing down at the pool for hours was a really nice addition and super fresh love that! Would I stay again probably but hopefully they update these rooms a little better to be so dark and gloomy... Thanks so much Chaminade have a great day! :)
