Standard Room, Partial Ocean View (Mobility Features)

This room has a partial ocean view, so expect glimpses of the coast rather than a full panorama. La Bahia Hotel and Spa sits directly across from Main Beach, and the room is a good fit if you want the seaside setting without paying for a fuller ocean-view category.

The room has 1 king bed with hypo-allergenic bedding and blackout drapes, and it sleeps 2 guests. That makes it well suited to a couple or two travelers sharing a bed.

The room has a private bathroom with a bathtub or shower. It comes with bathrobes, slippers, shampoo, soap and other complimentary toiletries. Towels and bed sheets are changed on request.

You get a 65-inch smart TV with cable channels and streaming services including Netflix and Hulu. There is also air conditioning and heating, a phone, a laptop-compatible safe, and free Wi-Fi (25+ Mbps). The resort fee adds in-room Nespresso Vertuo coffee and tea.

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

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

There are several options on site. High Tide serves ocean-facing dinner from 5pm to 9pm, and Low Tide Bar & Grill serves breakfast from 7am and all-day dining until 9pm. Pearl is the lobby bar and morning coffee spot, and Plunge is the poolside bar and grill. In-room dining runs daily from 7am to 10pm.

La Bahia is family-friendly and welcomes children of all ages, with a complimentary stuffed toy for children at check-in. This room sleeps two and has one king bed, so it suits a couple or a parent and one child best. The pool and hot tub are marketed as adults-only, and guests under 18 are not admitted to the spa.

Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, and the main guest checking in must be at least 21. Valet parking is $55 per night, with a $10 surcharge for oversized vehicles, and height restrictions apply. Dogs and cats up to 90 lbs are welcome for $175 per pet, per stay, in designated pet-friendly rooms only. The hotel is smoke-free and the front desk is staffed 24 hours.
