Top Pleasure Point Hotel Reviews

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"clean room and yes"

Seascape Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Seascape resort is beautiful! We rented two ocean view rooms and the rooms were large, lovely and had studio kitchens. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. One lovely lady at the front desk even went out of her way to make a map to show us how to get to a restaurant in Capitola. We have been there during the busy summer season, but this time we went in October and it was very quiet and relaxing. We will definitely be back!"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This is a Five Star Hotel! It is in a great location for everything you need. Friendly staff, great service and they made sure you had everything you could possibly need. Rooms were above and beyond, with a wonderful view from every room. Pool and hot tub at your leisure, along with relaxing chairs and firepits. The beds where so comfortable and they had water, turned down your bed at night, plus left you a little treat, along with a bottle of wine and snacks. Breakfast was to die for; the avocado toast was amazing. I would definitely stay here again! It was such a relaxing 4-night stay we thought about extending but had to go home."
