We had a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful, the front desk staff was very hospitable and helpful, the doorman was very enthusiastic and made a great first impression. We were thrilled with the breakfast and again everyone was extremely helpful...we loved the little spoons : ) We have already referred friends. Thanks Geri More

This was our first visit to Santa Cruz and I was really looking forward to staying at the Chaminade. From online research, seemed like an idyllic spot for our 4-day anniversary getaway. I should've read the TA reviews before booking... PROS: It's removed from the bustle of the city, nestled atop the trees on a lovely hillside, and had accommodating... More

I had my wedding at the Chaminade on 11/19/2011. I couldn't be happier with their services. Clearly, the Chaminade are masters of their craft. The Chaminade simplified the wedding planning process for us and shifted burdens that typically fall on the couple onto their own shoulders. The Chaminade allowed us to enjoy the wedding planning process which allowed my wife... More

I stayed here for 3 nights during a work conference. The room was cozy enough, but the bed was fantastically fluffy and comfortable. I especially loved the honeybee line of soaps and lotions, all eco-packaged. Nice touches like a one-cup coffee/tea maker in the room was great for warming up late at night. The only strange thing was the lighting... More

[A few weeks ago I wrote about my stay at Chaminade Resort and Conference Center, but when posting I clicked the wrong button and erased my work. Hastily I tried to recreate my review, but did a poor job. TripAdvisor is giving me another chance to do better.] I thought Chaminade was just for groups. In years past I had... More

After reading the reviews on this place, we decided to come here for a mini getaway. We requested an upstairs room, but were given one on the main floor. We could hear the people outside walking and talking as though they were in the room with us. Dog a couple of doors down barked at everything. It was far from... More

We spend here 2 nights during the business conference. Very nice hotel. Great room, with open porch right to the forest view. The conference and dinning room was in different building. And it was outstanding! They even had kosher table for Passover. We had a full pension and each time I thought it couldn't be better. The reception stuff was... More

My husband and I attended a wessing here last weekend. We enjoyed the spectacular view from the hilltop locale. Our room was spacious, and the bed was comfy. The breakfast buffet was generic and did not match the quality that the resort strives for. The overall serice of the resort staff was good. A nice little pool and hot tub... More

Chaminade was the perfect place. I needed a place that allowed a pet and was close to family and friends. We enjoyed the peaceful grounds and the hiking trails. The room was clean and large. A dog area was close by. I had dinner with friends at the bar and grill. We enjoyed the wonderful view and a very nice... More
