Partial Ocean View Premier Studio Suite

This suite has a partial ocean view, so you see the water from the room without a fully open panorama. La Bahia Hotel and Spa sits directly across from Main Beach, and blackout drapes let you control the morning light.

The suite is built around one king bed dressed in hypo-allergenic bedding and sleeps up to three guests. It suits a couple comfortably, or a couple travelling with a child.

The private bathroom offers a bathtub or shower, bathrobes, slippers, towels and complimentary toiletries including shampoo and soap. Towels and bed sheets are changed on request, and nightly turndown service is part of your stay.

The nightly resort fee covers a welcome beverage at check-in, in-room Nespresso Vertuo coffee and teas, complimentary wine and snacks, bottled water, unlimited Wi-Fi, nightly turndown and 24-hour fitness room access. It also includes complimentary beach cruiser bicycles and Tommy Bahama beach chairs, subject to availability, with e-bikes to rent.

Yes. La Bahia is family-friendly, children of all ages are welcome, and families receive a complimentary stuffed-animal toy at check-in. A high chair is available. The rooftop pool and hot tub are marketed as adults-only, and guests under 18 are not admitted to the spa.

The hotel is at 215 Beach Street, about 245 yards from Main Beach, a couple of minutes' walk. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is roughly a 5-minute walk, and the Santa Cruz Wharf is about half a mile away.
