Santa Cruz Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History Hotels

"We just stayed at La Bahia Hotel & Spa and I honestly can’t say enough good things about it. From the moment we arrived, everything felt top-tier. The staff was incredibly respectful, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience they’re providing. The hotel itself was beautiful and extremely clean—every area felt well taken care of and thoughtfully designed. There’s also so much to do, which made the stay feel like more than just a place to sleep. The gym especially stood out—seriously one of the best hotel gyms I’ve seen. Big shoutout to the valet team too—they handled my truck perfectly, no issues at all, and were professional the entire time. Overall, it was an amazing experience. We would absolutely love to have our wedding here in the future. We’re already planning to visit regularly and will be recommending this hotel to everyone we know."

"Felt taken care of from start to finish!"

"I just spent the night, so I didn’t use the pool. If it is anything like the rest of the property I am sure it is very nice. Really close to everything and right across from the beach. Great property!"

"Excellent value for the price. Microwaves and a small business center for printing would be great. "

"Hotel grounds, location, staff, pool, gym and room was top notch. Would highly recommend!"

"Ac/ hear were both working! People were nice"

"A very fair priced, neat location. Minutes away from the boardwalk. Location was nice enough to let me park my vehicle early so no need for a parking pass when you can move along down to the boardwalk. WILL DEFINITELY BE RETURNING:)"

"Nice place, nice location. Good price! Only wish bathroom light was inside bathroom not outside as in the night time you’re forced to turn the light on with the door open which wakes up whomever else is in room. Nice front desk. We were given an extra hour for checkout "

"I booked 2 rooms....1 room was absolutely filthy (dried vomit on floor, poop on wall in bathroom, curtain had white sticky substance on them, and what looked like dried urine by the AC) The other room had live roaches.... My family and i packed our stuff up and left after the first couple of hours. The only reason why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 is because the staff was friendly and I got a full refund. Needless to say I will read others' reviews carefully next time. "
