Chaminade Resort & Spa

One of our best stays so far perfect for a small family, with a beautiful 2-mile trail.

Surrounded by a forest

The property was in a nice area. The lobby area was nice. But that’s where the nice stopped. The room was well worn, bathroom ceiling was peeling, and carpets were not too clean. The pool area ran out of pool towels by 11am and there were no more than 20-30 people at the pool. The room we stayed in had a glass “wall/window” that faced the interior hallway. There should be some kind of shutters, or window covering to block the light from the hallway. It was very difficult to sleep with the room lit up all night.

We waited nearly 2 hours after check in time for the room to be ready. Sure it was a holiday weekend, but we couldn't help feeling discriminated against when other people got their room before us even though we had been waiting in the lobby longer. I also saw another family get offered a restaurant credit when their room was not ready, however we were not offered anything.

Beautiful views, nice hiking trails, pools, hot tubs, sauna, steam bath, spa services. Really wonderful place to relax, we enjoyed it thoroughly.

Amazing stay!

Always love staying here.

We went expecting a nice resort like atmosphere but instead got a Travel Lodge business motel vibe. The grounds are pretty but the only view is from the restaurant. That and the lobby are somewhat updated- not luxurious but at least newer looking. The rooms are awful- dated ugly firniture, thin sheets, threadbare towels, no reception, unprotected wifi. The "View Suite with Patio" was a joke- the view was of the driveway and the patio was a tiny concrete pad with two plastic chairs- no privacy, right off the driveway with cars driving by. The pool was unheated, no food or drink. Spa was closed. The food in the restaurant was ok- nothing special at all but at least that one spot had a nice view and some live music. Service was fine- check-in and waiters were friendly and competent. It's far from town and you can't walk to anything, which would be fine if it had everything you needed but it doesn't.

They have the best staff! Very nice people, very accommodating, they treat us well! THE View restaurant’s staff are amazing! They gave us complimentary chocolate cake! The front desk of Chaminade hotel is very hospitable. Will come back here with my family.

The rooms are outdated, need some repair and to fix the repair jobs that were done terribly such as patch and paint. we saw lots of paint patches all over the room, instead it should have been painted completely to make it smooth and nice. Furniture has no theme, because it's all over the place from photos of santa cruz, to a ruler coat hangar (yes, looks like a ruler, but with hooks coming out). Overpriced everything from cocktails to parking (20$ a day!!). They leave out that if you're 55 plus, you can receive discount on your room, plus a credit for dining. I am 57, and I wasn't offered anything. I was robbed if you ask me. Never ever going back!!
