Top Rio del Mar Hotel Reviews

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time staying here. Very clean and quiet. The restaurant was also delicious and the coy pond was very entertaining."

Seascape Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at Seascape Resort many times over the past 30 plus years, tu[pically in the 2 bedroom townhomes. It is a lovely and restful place. For the first time, we stayed in the studios in the main building. It was a spacious and well maintained room with a fireplace, balcony and kitchenette. It was perfect for our needs and very comfortable. we enjoyed the beach, the pools, the bar and restaurant, and the shuttle sevice to and from the beach. All in all a great time. We highly recommend Seascape resort."

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"We stayed here after a day at the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. Check-in was quick and painless. The motel was full and there was still adequate parking. The A/C worked well enough. There are several food options and a convenience store within an easy walk. The Beach Hut Deli on the corner makes a mighty fine sandwich, and you can even have a beer while you wait. The only ding on this motel is that the bathroom was a bit tired. The sink was down to steel in a couple of spots and please repair the stripped spline in the shower temperature control."
