My boyfriend and I stayed at the Chaminade for a night over a weekend in May. The hotel was quite busy the day we checked in, with 2 weddings going on, yet the staff still made every effort to make our stay enjoyable and were extemely accommodating. While we enjoyed everything about our stay, the hospitality of the staff was... More

We had our wedding at the Chaminade and we could not have had a more amazing customer service experience. Angela is a ROCK STAR! Everything that goes into making a wedding venue a success is done proper here. The service, food, rooming, lighting, drinks, convenience, and of course the view are top notch. First of all, Angela is your guardian... More

I decided to take my family down to Santa Cruz for Mother's Day weekend. I was able to get a room at a terrific price via a discount site. I have visited the Chaminade about 9 years ago, so I was hoping that my experience would be as good as it was back them. Honestly, I saw some of the... More

Our daughter recently had her ceremony and reception at Chaminade. Everything was perfect, from the incredible outside ceremony site, to appetizers in the courtyard, followed by the reception in the large ballroom (Courtyard Terrace). The food was delicious and service during the meal, etc. was impeccable. We especially enjoyed working with Shannon Norfleet, the catering manager, who was extremely helpful... More

We recently spent 5 nights at this resort attending an on-site wedding. The food was good, the views were terrific and the staff was uniformly friendly. The location is convenient to all of the Cal. coast south of San Francisco down to Carmel.

I stayed at this hotel for a work off-site. Upon arrival, I observed mosquitos in my room. I called the front desk to determine if the resort would change my room, they refused saying that mosquitos were common. During the night, I was bitten several times. The room itself was outdated and dirty. For example, there were rings and dust... More

I had to book multiple rooms for my team - the staff was amazing and the property and rooms were large with beautiful views. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a very relaxed vibe. I did not have a chance to try out the spa, but the food was excellent! I would absolutely book at the Chaminade again and... More

The first time we arrived at Chaminade Dale, at the front desk, greeted us with the kindest, most helpful disposition. He proved our theory that CA offers some great hospitality and Dale is one of the best! We enjoyed our room, that Dale graciously upgraded from 2 queens to a king, with a private deck and beautiful natural surroundings. because... More

Stayed here overnight after a friend's wedding. It was a lovely venue for an afternoon wedding as it had a beautiful view of Santa Cruz. The hotel is set atop a hillside, so it feels very exclusive without actually being far from town or from the beach. However, I was disappointed with the quality of the wedding food. I felt... More
