Tennis and Pickleball Courts in Santa Cruz County

I stayed for two nights here. The place has a nice location and surrounded by forests with a few hiking trails. The tennis courts are very nice. The rooms have bad isolation and it could be noisy if someone walking in the room on top of yours. The worst part is that the wifi of my room is broken and I asked the front desk three times in the day. They said they would send someone to check every time but nobody came in the end. The last time they even asked me wait in my room but nobody came at all. So the wifi stayed broken the whole time during my stay. I would not recommend it for anyone who needs some wifi availability during stay Trip type: Business Travel group: Solo. Rooms: 2 Service: 1 Location: 4 Hotel highlights: Great view

We were looking forward to spending some time in Santa Cruz and we were pleased to find a last minute deal online. However, once arriving to the hotel, we realized that the pictures were more pleasing than the actual accommodation. The hotel and the facilities are very old and dated. The clerk at the front desk was super friendly; however, we realized that her 'great recommendations' were soon to be short lived. She was very nice and helped us put our rooms next to our friend's rooms and she also gave us a choice of an upstairs or downstairs room. She recommended that the downstairs room was much nicer since it had access to a large balcony -- we decided to listen to her since, hey, she knows the most about this resort! In hindsight, I should have listened to my boyfriend's recommendation of going with the upstairs room. The room we were given was SO NOISY. We could hear every creak and crack of the guests staying above us. I don't think the guests were doing anything particularly crazy -- just walking around. The 'large balcony' turned out to just be an open sliding glass door into a wooded area (no dividers between the different blocks of rooms). We were also disappointed because the front desk clerk said that we could reserve tennis courts and that they would be able to rent us tennis rackets and equipment. When we called later to reserve a court, we were told that they do not rent out equipment. We probably would not stay here again.

Totally overpriced, club members preferred, would be "resort and spa". We have spent a long weekend at Chaminade Resort & Spa, looking forward to the relaxation, spa, fine dining. It turned out that the restaurant does not accept reservations because it is fully booked forever. Weird thing when you look at all the empty tables kept for who knows whom. The spa was also not available and booked out. The spa amenities are open to the spa guests (not since no reservations possible) and the club members. The tennis courts were mostly occupied by the club members also. So basically as a regular guest you are left out to your luck with a forest "cabin" amenities at the price of Ritz Carlton. After complaining to the management we were eventually granted a place in the restaurant and a refund of $350 on the total hotel fee (16%). I assume we should be thankful to be let in so such a minor thing like serving an appetizer simultaneously with the main course should not be mentioned. We never got to the spa. When checking out the promised refund did not show on the bill. After complaining again, we got the $350 off. Strange that such "mistakes" only happen to the hotel benefit and never other way around. The overall grounds are beautiful, to give it a justice. The forest trail is not overbooked and available to non-club-members. The restaurant has a beautiful view and good food if you manage to get on the short list of preferred guests. Considering the secluded location and the lack of alternatives other than driving to the nearest cities to eat it is a weak performance. I would not recommend to anyone hoping to find resort and spa. If you need a forest cabin, it is a great place, of course assuming you are ok to pay several hundreds of dollars for a cabin. Trip type: Vacation. Rooms: 3 Service: 2 Location: 5
