The Santa Cruz vibe is real: diverse (happy) people, terrific beaches, lots of eateries, beach boardwalk and arcade fun. Walking around the boardwalk area feels safe, if crowded, on weekends. There is definitely a broad range of fun activities for families.Guest review byMarianUnited States - 10.0

Capitola offers many good restaurants, and plenty of beaches to visit. We went to the Moss Landing slew one day to watch the numerous birds. We ate at Cafe Cruz, and several other restaurants. We are not exactly a young couple, so we mostly like eating good food, and gazing at the Pacific. The weather was bright and sunny.Guest review bysuzanneUnited States - 6.0

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!Guest review byJodyUnited States - 10.0

You can't beat the property and the hospitality of the owners as well. 5 stars and first class all around. I'd like to book it again, but it's a little too expensive right now during busy season so I'll likely have to waitGuest review bySantolucitoUnited States - 10.0

We enjoy going to the beaches, the Boardwalk and the local restaurants. We found that breakfast at Zachary's was excellent. Their potatoes are really tasty and the have homemade bread. We had dinner at Bedda Mia. Their Spaghetti alle vongole and Carbonara is good. We would go back to both of those places.Guest review byAnn - 4.0

Of course, we may have missed what's on offer... Our hotel was on a busy road near shopping malls, boring chain food outlets and petrol stations, next to a noisy facility of some kind which beeps and crashes into action early in the morning. I hope there is more to Capitola, but our part was definitely NOT by the sea. If there is a better side, it's a pity the hotel didn't illustrate or explain this. If you're on business or visiting family - fine. On holiday looking for a stop by the ocean? Forget it.Guest review byKathrynUnited Kingdom - 8.0
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.Guest review byRobert - 10.0

But I most like the beaches I would like to just sit out there for half a day towards the evening a watch the sunset. It’s just beautiful and everything else is fine. I like the food places. I recommend them to check out some of the food places just wanted a little more time at this wonderful little place to stay or live.Guest review byRebeccaUnited States - 8.0
Drab and musty. Needs better decor.
Drab and musty. Needs better decor. Uncomfortable small bed and couches. Excellent location with view of ocean and ocean sights and sounds but overlooking a crappy roof first. No cookware, dishes or utensils in kitchen. Brown fake leather couches, cheap old pictures on the walls of Mediterranean?? Beige paint, dark brown carpet brown tables and more brown. Tiny shower. Spacious.Guest review byRachelUnited States - 10.0
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...Guest review byAlida
