Top Younger Beach Hotel Reviews

Ocean Pacific Lodge

4/10 Poor

"The walls were very thin and I could clearly hear the people next door as if they were in the same room. The particular room I was in smelled very bad like bad body odor. The room was clean but the place generally looked pretty run down. I will stay elsewhere next time."

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at Casablanca. The location is fantastic. We were traveling with our three little dogs and they were well taken care. A dog run was super easy and clean. By the second day they walked themselves there. lol. We could walk downtown and to the boardwalk and the pier without exhausting ourselves. Everything is super near and at night time you can hear the ocean waves. Next time I’m booking up front with a balcony. Would you believe it rain one of the days. But even then we had fun. I had forgotten how beautiful and entertaining and not to mentioned the restaurant choices Santa Cruz has. The college kids playing volleyball, the kids on the boardwalk and all the folks walking around made me feel safe."

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location right across from Santa Cruz main beach! Coming from Australia to visit for the first time and so glad we chose Marea Sol. Beautifully renovated - everything is clean, modern and high quality. Spanish charm to the architecture of the place but it was the staff, especially the legend of a manager Katrina, who made our stay so fun and special. We had a luxury double room and it was so comfortable and spacious with everything we needed. Balcony looked out to the beach and there was also a huge rooftop balcony with the best breeze and views to eat and drink at, which we loved. Parking on site, a great pool area to relax by and coffee shop on site for a lovely brew. Incredible value especially for the location which was only a five minute walk to the iconic Broadwalk. Katrina had so much energy and positive vibes with great local knowledge and recommendations which really elevated our stay. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Santa Cruz! Can't wait to return 🏄🎢"
