Casablanca On The Beach

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good
"We had a beautiful large room, with sunroom. We felt like we were in a bit of a fishbowl, but we chose that room, since we needed the three beds. There was a fantastic view of the beach and the volleyball courts from our room, so no one noticed us. The walkable wharf to the right provided a nice variety of restaurants, although very pricey. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. There was not much ventilation in the room, I would have appreciated more, as there was a bit of a stale smell. I would suggest you take your own pillow, as the ones they provide are small and lumpy. Those are just small nit picky things, that can be overlooked, as we had a delightful stay and wished we could have stayed longer."

"Whenever you are in Santa Cruz, Courtyard Santa Cruz is it ! It’s walking distance to the Pier, and Beach. Unfortunately the pool was closed during our stay, which was a bummer, kids were excited. Other than that great family friendly hotel"

"The location worked well for the activities that I planned. The breakfast was suitable for my needs. The staff very helpful. The room was spacious. The hotel is has two stories and no elevator. Fortunately they sent a message to make me aware of this and I got a needed first floor room."
