“Had a great stay at Chaminade Resort & Spa. It felt like a true getaway from the city noise. Only had a chance to use the pool area in the evening, and it was lovely. Ordered room service for dinner and everything we ordered was delicious. Can’t wait to go back next time we visit Santa Cruz.”

“The rooms are cozy and comfortable. Beautiful views. Quiet and serene. The pool area with jacuzzis is relaxing. The spa is relaxing. There is one side for adults only. It has a poolside bar. Super fun! Dinner was amazing and you cannot beat the views and atmosphere. There’s a fun bar as well. The fire pit is cozy. All staff were so friendly.akecsure you explore the trails around the grounds too. Love it! ”

“Okay, first off the staff here is really great! The property is super quiet and you definetly pay for the view to stay here. The rooms definetly need a revamp just the dungeon like feel the rooms are just too dark for my liking and for the price you pay just does not add up really. But the location and views is what your paying for maybe better off to pitch a tent in the woods probably would be more justified. The beds are comfy just did not like having to change my room several times while staying here that sucked but other than that we had a calm nice time here staff is super sweet, the pool and the fire pit at night is nice too. The beds are actually pretty comfy too but that is about all I can say about the dungeon rooms just too dark for my liking. I do appreciate getting the nice fruit plate after bing down at the pool for hours was a really nice addition and super fresh love that! Would I stay again probably but hopefully they update these rooms a little better to be so dark and gloomy... Thanks so much Chaminade have a great day! :)”

“This is a great property offering wooded trails and spa. I used neither on my first visit to the resort. Our king room had separate living room with mini bar/fridge. The patio option is not private. Open to the strip of rooms on your sides. Small 2 seat slab facing slatted wood separator. Early check in was requested by me and three times (phone calls to insure availability) was promised by reception but was not available when we all arrived leaving us with few free options for shade and relaxation. Granted it was a super hot sunny afternoon which can be rare in sc.
The situation was handled very well by the management and we really enjoyed our suite. Pool bar is +! More suitable for families imo.also you can hear the people above feet and muffled talk/music In the 1000 block and you are across from pool and separated by parallel parking and drive. Out of 5 star I would award 3.4 * which is high for Santa Cruz stays.😉”

“The resort is older but fairly well maintained. Pillows were too thick for my liking. Rooms are tiny. My biggest complaint is they charged 20$ per day for self parking. I was there less than 24 hours and paid 40$for parking my own car. Irritating ”
