Top Lincoln Beach Hotel Reviews

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good

"We recently visited Santa Cruz over the holiday weekend. It was a wonderful trip the view of the ocean from our room was literally everything! The room itself was very basic but to be honest people don’t visit here for the room itself for the location. I will say though that parking is crazy, my mom is handicapped and there were several times that people who did not have handicap placards were parked in the assigned parking spots and parked illegally making things rather difficult for my mom I did have to complain to the front desk staff more than once before action was taken to make those individuals move their vehicles but eventually the front desk staff did enforce proper parking requirements. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend this place."

Spacious Santa Cruz Beach Home, Walk to the Ocean, Game Room, Pet Friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"We have rented this property over the Labor Day weekend about 8 times, and we'll keep coming back!!! Michelle is the perfect host, answering any questions and dealing with any issues that we may have.The location is amazing-1 block from Black's beach.The layout of the home is perfect for our family get-together. Lots of bedrooms and hanging out areas.The amenities are well stocked-paper products, soap, towels, beach equipment.We will return every year. It has become a family tradition!!"

Carousel Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Value for your money. Beautiful and very spacious rooms!"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel stay couldn’t have been better! Staff is so helpful and attentive, hotel itself is magical, the scenery is amazing, overall the whole thing is top notch. I want to come back as soon as possible! Super dog friendly which was great for me. I don’t have anything bad to say, only great things! Anyone giving this place a bad review needs to get their head checked."

Bella Notte

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at the Bella Notte several times before but the experience was new this time. Rooms and the property have received a refresh, with clean, contemporary decor. Beautiful large room with kitchenette, well appointed, large shower. My room was on the second floor, closest to the street, yet the noise was not noticeable. It was quiet and peaceful. This, as well as the incredibly comfortable bed, led to a very restful and comfortable night’s sleep. The new hostless check-in system worked just fine and communication from the property manager was complete and very clear. Price for the Monday night stay was incredibly reasonable for the high quality of the room. Easy walking distance to the beach. Highly recommend for a stay with easy access to amenities and local sights. Walking distance to coffee, restaurants as well."
