We have stayed at Chaminade many times over the years (at least 10 times)) and it is ALWAYS a pleasure!! It is a full service resort and VERY child friendly! We always bring our three children and they have a ball! The pool is wonderful and there is a sand Volleyball court...Excellent restaurant and the spa is fantastic! One year... more

Service from front desk staff start to almost finish was awful. Tried to check in a little early...made us wait 1 1/2 hours more than then originally quoted - no apologies. They'll mention to you about maybe wanting a 2nd floor room - this is because they know full well of the poor construction and that the walls are paper... more

Went to a wedding held at this resort on Memorial Day Weekend. We had booked a block of rooms at another hotel but moved here for the second half of the stay due to problems at our original base hotel. We were able to get in on a great special where others we knew who were staying here had paid... more

Stayed at the Chaminade while visiting UC Santa Cruz with my husband and college-bound son. Our room had 2 queen beds, desk, chair, tv, closet, wardrobe, refrigerator, bathroom sink, and additional raised sink across from the mini-bar area. Beds were supercomfortable, and the decorative throw was also a nice warm addition in the cool evenings. We arrived 8:00 in the... more

I spent two nights here for a company conference, and overall was very impressed with the place. The location is in the Santa Cruz mountains, and while not really near the beach, feels secluded and is surrounded by plenty of hiking trails. The hotel rooms are spread out in numerous buildings across the property. The buildings look older, but the... more

I left some items behind at the hotel. When I called a few hours after I left,they told me not to worry, that they are sure they will be recovered. I was very disappointed with the management when I finally realized after weeks that nothing would be returned. Nothing was of large value in price. When I did call again... more

Every two years we have a family reunion numbering from 30-60 people. We've done this for the last 20 years and except for the first one, they've all been in California as most of the oldest generation resided there. The Chaminade is almost a small campus type setting with a number of two story buildings with guest rooms, the main... more

I stayed here over the weekend for a work related event and thought the modern contemporary vibe of the room was excellent. The bed was ultra soft, and I loved the raised bathroom sink. It reminded me of a page out of a design book. The food's really good too. We had a lunch buffet, and dinner outside. The bartender... more

We stayed here over a long weekend for a conference and were very pleased with this hotel. We ate like kings; while two of the meals were for the conference, the other meals were with the rest of the guests. The food was amazing, fresh and delicious and I wanted to take the chefs home with me. The rooms are... more
