Top De Anza Beach Hotel Reviews

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Immaculate surroundings, loved the various patios on diff levels with grand ocean views. Upgraded very clean rooms, lovely surroundings!"

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"i liked how clean the whole property and rooms were"

West Cliff Getaway

8/10 Good

"This was a clean and well-stocked house in a wonderful location just off West Cliff Drive. Short walk to Natural Bridges Beach."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is highly recommended."

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was probably my least favorite. The eggs were cold and of course they didn’t have any flavor and I thought that they had hot oatmeal cereal, but on closer examination, it wasn’t that I think it was potatoes or something. Not appetizing at all. But I grabbed an orange, an apple and some yogurt and a stick of cheese and that was fine. Whatever"

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my family decided to have a last minute beach visit we had no idea we were going to want to stay the night and once we figured we would I called everywhere (it was 7pm) and only this hotel answered there was always someone to help at the desk and it was fast and easy to book and it was a great price and me and my family would definitely recommend my only complaint would be you can hear the trash people early in the morning but everything else was just what we wanted"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"Pretty convenient location and a decent price compared with the astronomical price of many other options. Adequate parking and walkable distance to the downtown and plenty of dining options. I would stay again but would make sure my room was not immediately adjacent to the ice machine ( foot traffic of people getting ice) and the pool ( kids birthday parties etc not great if you’re trying to rest). Air conditioning was a bit loud tbh at least in my room - but on the plus side their wasn’t any drama at night or noise and I think they keep a close eye on the place- it’s a motor court arrangement with rooms facing out so could be vulnerable to randoms wandering through but there was no problem."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Santa Cruz, CA

8/10 Good

"Breakfast is excellent. Beds are bit firm for my task. Didn't try pool or hot tub. Staff very friendly and professional. Parking is easy."

Sunny, Modern Cottage w/ Stunning Views, Steps from Beach & Natural Bridges

10/10 Excellent

"It was very clean and comfortable. Walking distance to Natural Bridges, great for sunsets. Better than we had expected. Wonderful hosts."
