Deluxe Room, Partial Ocean View

This room has a partial ocean view, so you see the water from your room rather than a full, unobstructed panorama. La Bahia Hotel and Spa sits directly across from Main Beach on Beach Street, and most of the hotel's 155 rooms have ocean views.

The room has 2 Queen Beds with hypo-allergenic bedding and sleeps up to 4 guests. That suits two couples travelling together, friends, or a family. A high chair is available for little ones.

The private bathroom has a bathtub or shower, complimentary toiletries including shampoo and soap, slippers, and towels that are changed on request.

A nightly resort fee applies (about $50, or roughly $56 with tax). It covers a welcome beverage at check-in, in-room Nespresso Vertuo coffee and tea, complimentary wine and snacks, bottled water, unlimited Wi-Fi, nightly turndown and 24-hour fitness access. It also includes complimentary beach cruiser bicycles and Tommy Bahama beach chairs, subject to availability. E-bikes can be rented.

Yes. La Bahia Hotel and Spa welcomes children of all ages, and families receive a complimentary stuffed-animal toy at check-in. The two queen beds and the high chair make this room practical for a family of four. The rooftop pool and hot tub are marketed as adults-only, and guests under 18 are not admitted to the spa, so plan children's activities around the beach and boardwalk.

Main Beach is only about 245 yards away, a couple of minutes on foot. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is about a 5-minute walk, and the Santa Cruz Wharf is roughly half a mile away.

There are three restaurants and bars on site. Low Tide Bar & Grill serves breakfast from 7am and all-day dining until 9pm. High Tide is the dinner-only, ocean-facing restaurant. Pearl is the lobby bar, which also serves Cat & Cloud coffee in the morning. Plunge is the poolside bar and grill. In-room dining runs daily from 7am to 10pm.

Valet parking is $55 per night, with a $10 surcharge for oversized vehicles, and height restrictions apply. San Jose International Airport (SJC) is about a 45-minute drive away, and a public bus stop is about a 3-minute walk from the hotel.

Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. The front desk is staffed around the clock. Cancel at least 72 hours before arrival to avoid a one-night room-and-tax charge, unless your rate says otherwise. The main guest checking in must be at least 21.

Dogs and cats up to 90 lbs are welcome, at $175 per pet per stay, with a maximum of two per room. Pets stay only in designated pet-friendly rooms, which you request by contacting La Bahia Hotel and Spa directly before you arrive.
