Lunch with mom today - delicious vegetable fritte appetizer with lemon aioli for dipping. I had a tasty Caesar salad and mom ordered a pepperoni pizza. Was more than plenty for both of us. Dessert was a decadent serving of strawberry ice cream served with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Excellent service and attention from server/bartender “Alicia.” Our water glasses were always refilled. We were seated at a table with a great window view of the ocean. Beautiful interior decor. We will definitely be back!

The hotel is absolutely beautifully decorated and is right across the street from the beach. The service was excellent and the rooms were elegant and comfortable. I have stayed at lots of hotels in Santa Cruz and this one is by far the best.

We had the absolute best stay! From the warm welcome at check-in (and the delicious welcome beverage) to our sparkling clean room with an impeccable view, everything exceeded expectations. The pool atmosphere was perfect, and the drinks and food at Low Tide were fantastic. We truly enjoyed every moment and can’t wait to come back!

La Bahia is a wonderful hotel. The facility is very new, and is very, very clean. It has a very comfortable and relaxed feel to it, but upscale at the same time. The staff is fantastic. The Low Tide restaurant is perfect for relaxed dining. It’s located in the heart of the Santa Cruz beach front attractions. It is the best hotel in the area.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff was amazing—friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. They truly made me feel valued and comfortable throughout my entire stay. A special thank you to Gabbie at the front desk—she was spectacular! Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail really stood out. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and made the check-in process smooth and pleasant. It’s rare to meet someone who genuinely cares about guests the way she does. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for such a great experience!

Five star experience! From the minute, we pulled in! Traveled from Sacramento. From the valet (Justice) luggage service (Gabriel) to the front desk concierge (Andrew and Melissa), ALL employees treated us like a million dollars and that we mattered to them. Their customer service and hospitality is stellar and STERLING! We even extended one more day and still did not want to leave. Overall the hotel and our room was clean and pristine! We absolutely will come back and I highly recommend LA BAHIA to anyone considering a stay in Santa Cruz. Nothing else will compare.
