" [](https://expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Chaminade-Resort-Spa.h27566.Hotel-Information) ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does a budget hotel in Aptos cost? ### Which area of Aptos is best to stay in for cheap hotels? > Areas slightly away from the immediate coastline, such as those closer to the Aptos Village Park or along Soquel Drive, often feature more affordable motels and guesthouses. These locations still offer convenient access to the beach, often just a short drive or bus ride away, without the higher price tag of direct oceanfront stays. Solo travellers will find these areas provide a good base for exploring the region's natural beauty, from Nisene Marks State Park to the local beaches. > > > Furthermore, consider looking at properties in neighbouring towns like Capitola or even Santa Cruz, which are just a short bus journey away. These towns may offer a wider range of budget-friendly options, and their public transport links make it easy to commute to Aptos for its attractions. ### When is the most affordable time to visit Aptos? > For solo travellers, these months offer a more tranquil experience, allowing for peaceful exploration of the natural beauty without the peak season rush. You'll find better deals on guesthouses and smaller inns, making your stay more economical. > > > Families might also appreciate these quieter times, as the beaches and parks are less crowded, offering more space for children to play. While the water might be cooler for swimming, the mild weather is still great for hiking in Nisene Marks State Park or enjoying a stroll along Seacliff State Beach, where you can admire the historic concrete ship without paying for parking. ### How can I save on a budget hotel in Aptos with Expedia? ### What free activities should we do in Aptos? > Families can start by spending a day at Seacliff State Beach, where you can explore the historic concrete ship, the SS Palo Alto, from the pier. It's a wonderful spot for a picnic, building sandcastles, and watching the waves. Nearby, New Brighton State Beach also provides scenic views and opportunities for beachcombing and birdwatching, with easy access and plenty of space for children to play. > > > For a change of scenery, head to Nicene Marks State Park. This expansive park boasts miles of trails suitable for walking and hiking amidst towering redwoods. It's an ideal place for families to connect with nature, enjoy a leisurely stroll, or even a more vigorous hike, all completely free of charge. The shaded trails offer a pleasant escape, especially on warmer days. > > > Finally, simply exploring the local village of Aptos can be a delightful free activity. Wander through the charming streets, admire the local architecture, and perhaps catch some free live music if you're lucky enough to visit during a community event. ### Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Aptos as a package? ### Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia -
