Top Santa Cruz Main Beach Hotel Reviews

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Velvet parking was terrible; I gave the card to one of the short guys, and he asked me to check out, and I said yes. It took 30 minutes before we got our car; people came after us, and they had already left. I texted them before we left the room, but it didn't make any difference. Finally, an Asian guy in a blue uniform came up to us and asked for our last name, and he was very helpful."

"Much better experience than the last few times we stayed there. Property was much improved. Last time we stayed there the Jets in the hot tub were horrible. This time they were strong and useful. We have been staying at this property for at least five or six years two or three times a year and this was one of the best times."
