Rio Sands Hotel, hotel in Aptos

Located off Highway 1, this Aptos hotel offers an outdoor pool and hot tub, serves an expanded daily continental breakfast and has spacious rooms and suites with free Wi-Fi.

We missed the breakfast. There was no mention of it when we checked in so we didn't think we were entitled to it! It would have been an excellent addition to our stay. Especially with two little ones! I had looked around to see where it would be set up, but once I didn’t see it and nothing was mentioned about a continental breakfast.

Ocean Echo Inn & Beach Cottages, hotel in Aptos

Built in the early 1900s, Ocean Echo Inn & Beach Cottages is located on a quiet cul-de-sac that ends at Monterey Bay's unique Sunny Cove Beach.

The hotel’s location is very close to beach (walking 2mins). And it’s dog friendly even the beach. My kids and dog spent wonderful afternoon at beach. We ordered food from DoorDash to lobby. The hotel’s staff sent to our door that’s super nice. Rooms are very clean. It’s a 1b1b apartment. Has every thing you need.

    I went to Aptos for one night to attend an anniversary party...

    I went to Aptos for one night to attend an anniversary party. I have visited the area several times and never found it very appealing as it is very crowded, traffic can be horrendous, and the public beaches that are easily accessible are not very beautiful. I much prefer Monterey or Half Moon Bay or Northern California area beaches for scenic beauty. The party was held at Bittersweet Bistro in Aptos, however, which is a restaurant I do highly recommend if you go to Aptos, the food was wonderful!

    Beautiful grounds and beach.

    Beautiful grounds and beach. Fresh, clean and well decorated and appointed room. Ocean view is spectacular. We didn’t use them although the resort has 3 pools and several outdoor fire pits. Shore birds galore. Soothing sound of the surf from our patio. Warm fireplace in the room added to its appeal. Kitchen went unused although it is well appointed including glasses, tableware, and utensils. Kitchen table seats four.

    I liked Aptos.

    I liked Aptos. There are some good restaurants and the people when I went to town were observing the correct protocol . The Swallow is a great dinner restaurant. When I return I'll be looking for a great place to stay...

    Aptos is a nice location to vacation or spend a weekend.

    Aptos is a nice location to vacation or spend a weekend. The beaches are nice with lifeguards in many locations. The weather was perfect during our recent visit. The restaurants were very busy and we were unable to get a reservation for dinner on Friday night. I attributed that to Covid restrictions on the number of guests allowed. Due to the popularity of this area, the traffic can be quite heavy at times. All things considered, it is still one of our favorite areas to visit.

    Aptos is just fine. Just don't use Booking.com.

    Aptos is just fine. Just don't use Booking.com. Booking.com overpriced the stay for a substandard accomodations. Avoid Booking.com at any cost. It seems there are many rentals available in Capitola near the water.

    My family and I stay in Santa Cruz a lot for the kids.

    My family and I stay in Santa Cruz a lot for the kids. We decided to give aptos a try since it’s a short drive to the boardwalk. This hotel exceeded my expectations. Very clean rooms the staff were great. The restaurant Severinos was the winner. Great food and our waiter Cavan saw my family multiple times a day dining in. Cavan was great and made our visits outstanding. The pool was clean and a good size for families. All said this will be our main hotel when we go visit Santa Cruz now. Not crowded, plenty of parking, great staff and very good rates.

    We really enjoyed the bottom level rooms being able to walk right out into the lounge and pool area. The proximity to the beach and short walk to dining was great for our family. We really enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. Beds were very comfy even the pull out. Kitchen was small but perfect for a few days and we really appreciated the full size fridge. Continental breakfast was good although they seemed to have less and less food as the days went on. Day 1 was amazing, day 4 was basically boiled eggs and cereal.

    Clean, safe motel a block from arguably the nicest beach in the area, at a very good value compared to other local options. Nothing fancy, but great for a getaway with kids and much nicer location than the hotels at the boardwalk. Good to have a suite with kitchen at a reasonable price.

    Resort was amazing and centrally located to Santa Cruz, Capitola, and Monterey...other places we visited. Our condo was beautiful and had a cozy fireplace that we took full advantage of. It also had a private balcony that offered an amazing ocean views and stunning sunsets!
