Every fiscal year we have 3 to 4 Leadership Development off-sites at the Chaminade. It is well equipped with large conference rooms as well as smaller, yet very roomy breakout rooms. They have all the A.V. setups you could want available and also wi-fi. Your group will never go hungry as the buffets are plentiful and snacks are always available.... More

I read some sketchy reviews that had my husband and I worried about staying here for our 17th anniversary getaway. Although just a few streets away from civilization, the property is surrounded by several acres of natural grounds. (There was a wedding each day we were there). The furniture and decor is nicely done and the hotel room very clean.... More

Great location. Views are fabulous. We jogged down to the lighthouse and back for our morning workout. Conference rooms were well equipped. Staff was very pleasant. The food was very good and lots of variety and vegetarian choices.

I recently stayed/worked at the Chaminade for a whole week. If you're looking for a quiet place to rest and truly get some peace of mind, this place is it. I plan to return for a personal retreat. The food, service and staff is great. Please take advantage of the Spa I got a massage and felt so relaxed and... More

The Chaminade is wonderful in every way: lovely setting with a pristine pool and access to serene hiking/jogging trails; fantastic service; great bar and grill with an unstoppable view; large and comfortable rooms with nice amenities and the most sleep-friendly beds imaginable. Highly recommend!

This was my second time at Chaminade for a work event that lasted several days. Both times I found the staff to be amazing - very service oriented, pleasant and can-do, but not annoyingly hovering. The food was wonderful, with a great variety of healthy, tasty items as well as sinfully delicious if you so chose. My room was well... More

Recently attended a work meeting at the Chaminade. Although I have stayed in Santa Cruz before the Chaminade was a new experience and nice surprise. The hilltop location, grounds, and view are beautiful. Meeting rooms and outdoor areas are fantastic with views to the ocean. There is a perfect outside veranda for a wedding. Rooms are a little dark and... More

Great place to stay while visiting my son at UCSC. We requested a fridge, then saved on costs by grocery shopping and eating in. Room service was clean, fair in taste and relatively quick. Know that gratuity is already included! Also, there is a $20 spa fee for each day--this covers pool and gym use--make the most of it. Great... More

We booked a one-night stay at Chaminade as a quick getaway to the coast. After viewing the website and reading the reviews, I was so looking forward to a four star resort. Wrong! It was a two star motel trying to be a four star resort. We arrived and were nicely greeted by the valet and then proceed to the... More
