Find Beach Hotels in Santa Cruz

"We enjoyed our stay very much. Hotel is located right on the ocean and walkable to restaurants and markets. Our room had a fantastic sea view, spacious clean with big walk-in shower and very quiet. Buffet breakfast was satisfactory with plenty of seating. Happy hour in the bar was a nice bonus. Paid parking is recommended as street parking is limited."

"This was a gem of a find. The facilities are slightly dated but the upkeep and condition is excellent. All of the staff that we encountered were superb. We felt that the selection that we had at the restaurant were very good and a good value. We'd recommend this hotel to our family and friends -- we would like to do a return visit ourselves!"

"Very charming place with nice views. "

"This was the first time we have ever stayed at a RIU resort and we were not disappointed. The staff were all wonderful. Big shout out to the bartenders and wait staff for their friendliness. "

"Second time staying here. Lovely hotel in Garajau. Decent breakfast, clean rooms and extremely nice people. Would highly recommend."

"I liked the option of purchasing the dinner Buffett while I was there. After exploring all day it was nice to just go downstairs and enjoy the wide selection of food. I also enjoyed the bus stop right in front of the hotel that was easy to use. Everyone was friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. One thing was the pool closing hrs were at 2100 which for my family is typically the time we have winded down and are ready for a swim. I will say there was one night the front desk clerk kept the pool open a little later so we could take our time enjoying the pool so that was definitely a plus!"

"It was close to the airport "

"Large, clean facility, close to restaurants and airport. Just a bit noisy."
