8/10 Good
"The services and the amenities there were just enough to make the resort enjoyable to stay the whole time and not drive anywhere. However I wished the hours of services would be open longer. There’s almost nothing to eat or do after 9pm"

What's the difference between 5-star and 4-star hotels in Santa Cruz?
If you choose to book a stay at a 4-star hotel in Santa Cruz, you'll typically find lots of amenities to keep you comfortable, such as a gym, restaurant and pool. You can experience top-quality service and upmarket accommodations. Choose a 5-star hotel and you'll get a few extra perks — think around-the-clock concierge, on-site spas and indulgent turndown services.
