Our room was next to the stairs and children were running up and down them until midnight, terrible wait service at restaurant, room was booked as 2 queen beds but got 2 double beds. Lack of sleep a definite problem. Overpriced room. Not a hotel.

Walls are very thin and we had a neighbor partying and fighting until 3a.m ruined our nights sleep. Super unfortunate to have people running up and down hallways, slamming doors and had to call security to handle it. Would be nice if they rounded to ensure it was quiet.

The power was out for many hours upon my arrival. While I know that this was not a fault of Chaminade I feel that the additional $40.00 resort fee that was charged should have been waived. I could not eat there or use any of the facilities. Had that been waived, I would have been happy where this way I have a bad taste in my mouth for the facility

The property seems miles from the hustle and bustle of Santa Cruz but is only a short drive to town. It was busy weekend at the resort, but it still felt very peacefull.

Though the property was beautiful, the room was far below average. The room was tiny and there was absolutely nothing special about it. It’s not worth the price. I’ve traveled pretty extensively and understand that room size isn’t everything, but this room was so incredibly disappointing. It made me want to do anything other than be in the room. If you’re traveling with your family and want something to do with the kids, I’d recommend the property. The pool is nice, the fire pits are lovely; but if you’re traveling as a couple, find something else.
