Top Lincoln Beach Hotel Reviews

Chaminade Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect. Definitely would stay again."

Seaside Inn & Suites

6/10 Okay

"Front desk staff very friendly. While fairly clean the furniture was damaged, poor lighting, noisy air conditioning, sink faucet so small and low - difficult to use. The bed was fairly comfortable. The fridge kept things cold. Ample parking and centrally located in town. From pictures online it was way worse than it appeared online. It was graduation weekend at UCSC so prices were sky high."

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time at Casablanca. The location is fantastic. We were traveling with our three little dogs and they were well taken care. A dog run was super easy and clean. By the second day they walked themselves there. lol. We could walk downtown and to the boardwalk and the pier without exhausting ourselves. Everything is super near and at night time you can hear the ocean waves. Next time I’m booking up front with a balcony. Would you believe it rain one of the days. But even then we had fun. I had forgotten how beautiful and entertaining and not to mentioned the restaurant choices Santa Cruz has. The college kids playing volleyball, the kids on the boardwalk and all the folks walking around made me feel safe."
