Top Moore Creek Wildlife Preserve Hotel Reviews

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome property right in the heart of it all!"

The Aqua Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was nice and clean with what felt like high-quality bedding. Shower was nice, they had very unique lighting, which was cool. We unfortunately had a bad neighbor, slamming doors and fighting all night, but it was not the hotel’s fault. All hardwood floors, which is a must."

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good

"This place all around was beautiful, the location is great. My only complaint was that our coffee maker was missing a piece and I let the front office know about it and instead of getting a new piece or new coffee maker they told me oh well nothing they can do about it. They have a coffee bar from 8-10am but we have a baby so our mornings start at 5am so not having a coffee maker in the room sucked."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Santa Cruz, CA

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful and kind. The hot tub was not working. Pool is not heated."

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"good"

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good
