Lock in a great price for Dream Inn Santa Cruz – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

All rooms have an ocean view which I found amazing. We had a lovely balcony, large and recently refurbished room. The room was very clean and decorated very nicely and in accordance with the natural surroundings. There is a pool and a restaurant/bar on site. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and relaxed. The location is just perfect, sleeping with the sound of the waves and the beach right in front of you!

Christina, United Arab Emirates

The room and view were awesome. We stayed right above the pool. We really enjoyed the amenities and all the hotel had to offer. We will be back again. :-)

Yolanda, United States of America

Ideal location for the beach and trips up and down the coast. Perfect distance away from commercial centre.

Stephen, United Kingdom

We loved the room, the bed was comfy, the balcony was wonderful, the view was amazing, location is perfect, and the renovation has been done very well. Basically the whole place is amazing.

눉The pillows were extremely soft. Like lacking any substance soft. I had read that there was a pillow menu before booking, but once there no one knew about it and I couldn't find it online again. There front desk was friendly and sent someone up with "foam" pillows when I called down, but they were exactly the same. We ended up stuffing multiple pillows into one pillow case to make them usable. For the money they really should have better pillows. My only gripe of the whole trip.
눇We loved the room, the bed was comfy, the balcony was wonderful, the view was amazing, location is perfect, and the renovation has been done very well. Basically the whole place is amazing.

눉The room rate is getting so high that after 8 years of going there each year for our son's birthday, it's becoming unaffordable for us to continue the tradition. No discount was granted when we mentioned our repeated business. That was disappointing.
눇Renovations are great. Front desk staff and valet guys were super friendly.
