All hotels with pools in Santa Cruz

Looking for a hotel with pools?

‘Does it have a pool?’ is arguably one of the most common questions when booking a stay in any location. These hotels offer a great way to keep active during your holiday without having to hit the gym. Indoor pools allow you to practice your backstroke come rain or shine, whereas outdoor options allow you to relax on a sun lounger after swimming a few lengths.

I like how close it was to the boardwalk, yet just a bit away from the boardwalk to beat the crowds. The swimming pool was very clean. The rooms were clean, and it’s not loud at night.

Great location as a home base there for 3 nights. Good breakfast in walking distance (across the street and a short walk to the Picnic Basket). The swimming pool was excellent, and the 2 hot tubs were clean and relaxing. There were laundry facilities and that was a game changer, as it was a mid-trip stay for us. The people at the front desk were nice and remedied a situation from our first night. We were given a discount on that night and a room upgrade at no extra cost due to issues in our first room.
