Loved by Chaminade Resort & Spa guests
"The on-site restaurant offers a beautiful view and live music, which added a nice touch to the evening."
"Chaminade is a stand out spot amongst the quiet eucalyptus forest atop a wonderful hill above the city of Santa Cruz, so the second you turn off busy SoQuel Avenue you are transported into another land."
"The Chaminade is a great pet-friendly resort with so much to do on site: spa treatments, hiking, swimming, pickleball, and more."

“Located on a mountaintop near Santa Cruz, this resort emphasizes getaways for couples and families, offering a range of recreational options from tennis to disc golf, plus a spa. I noted accessibility issues reported by one guest, though the property seems to have addressed pool access. The dining and event spaces, along with its mountaintop setting, could make it a choice for those seeking both relaxation and organized gatherings.”
