- From £469.96 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Superb - What previous guests thought, 282 reviewsSanctuary Beach Resort was and absolute highlight of our trip! The location is stunning, right on the beach with breathtaking ocean views and direct access to the sand. Our bungalow-style room was beautifully designed, spacious, and had a private balcony where we could relax and watch the waves. The resort’s peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind. We loved the fire pits in the evening, creating a cozy and romantic setting. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The on-site restaurant served delicious meals with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. If you’re looking for a serene and luxurious escape along the California coast, Sanctuary Beach Resort is a must-visit!Guest review byClo BoucheritFrance

Great location, lots to visit, has something for everyone.
Great location, lots to visit, has something for everyone. From Dennis the Menace playground fro kids to kayaking for the outdoorsy types to galleries and historical strolls for the culture-hungry. Don't forget to visit Carmel via 17 mile drive. Make a day of it!Guest review byLauraUnited States - 10.0

When I was young I lived in San Jose and our mom would bring us to Santa Cruz all summer long. Coming again as an adult brought back so many fond memories. The boardwalk was so different then then. Santa Cruz is such a fun place and so many rides and shops. Every child needs to experience it at least once in their lifetime.Guest review byWanda PapineauUnited States - 10.0

Very pretty location with lots of boutique shops and variety of restaurants serving great food. Carmel beach is very beautiful but not for swimming in the sea due to the strong undercurrents. We stayed 1 night which was about right for us as we saw all we wanted to see. If travelling from Monterey, definitely do the 17 mile drive, It was stunning!Guest review byYvonneUnited Kingdom - 8.0

We enjoyed this location as it was easy to access Monterey and all the areas we wanted to visit. Rosine's in Monterey is Tops to us! Transiting the area was very easy. No bad traffic. Everything flowed well.Guest review byTirasmomUnited States - 10.0
Marina is a beautiful little town just north of Monterey.
Marina is a beautiful little town just north of Monterey. With CSUMB right there, there are a number of stores and restaurants typical of a college town. Monterey is just a short drive away but Marina is quiet without the hustle and crowds. Daddy's City Diner is a great place to start your day with a hearty breakfast! Stop by Baker's Bacon for some fresh, tasty bacon, sausage and cheese. Take some candied bacon with you for a wonderful snack.Guest review byMelindaUnited States - 8.0
Everything you need for a Roadside Hotel.
Everything you need for a Roadside Hotel. Outside and property was well maintained, clean and landscaped. Room was well appointed and for the most part really clean. I very much appreciate a laminate floor vs. carpet that you know is never clean. Had a a nice sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, ice machine. Area has grocery stores and restaurants in the area that you can walk to. (Just avoid the Mexican place across the street, unless you want some stomach upset! Trust me you'll thank me!) Again, was everything you needed and will book again for my Concours stay next year! Thank you!Guest review byKathrynUnited 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
So much wildlife, we loved it.
So much wildlife, we loved it. The sea lions were hilarious, all piled on docks at the harbor, and it seemed like a real working town, not a fake touristy spot. And do visit the Shakespeare Society of America in Moss Landing. What a hoot! Can't really explain it but see for yourself. We ate at Sea Harvest and the Thai restaurant near the inn, both adequate and inexpensive. I was stoked to visit Pezzini Farms and I will be ordering heritage artichokes from them this spring. Whale Watch Point right across from the harbor was fun just to chill and stare at the sea lions and so many pelicans.Guest review byCynthiaUnited States - 10.0

I had no idea that Castroville is 'The artichoke center os the world', I love artichokes! so it was an awesome surprise, Giant artichoke restaurant is a must, El Huarache 1 food truck too. For groceries, people at La Reyna's supermarket is really friendly. Hope to get back soon :)Guest review byRaulTaiwan
