The only beachfront hotel in Santa Cruz, the Dream Inn really lives up to its name! Every room features views of the ocean, which you can admire from your own private balcony or patio, marvelling at the surfers perhaps or the most tremendous sunsets with a cocktail in hand. The boardwalk is just steps away as is the centre of this archetypal Californian town, home to a variety of exciting attractions. Monterey Bay is also conveniently close by as is the Seymour Marine Discovery Centre and the Roaring Camp Railroad which takes you through incredible redwoods all the way to the beach. Grab your book and head down to the beachfront swimming pool for a good laze in the sun. There’s also a hot tub to soothe limbs tired from sightseeing! There are plenty of restaurants and diners close by too but don’t miss the hotel’s own Jack O'Neill Restaurant, also on the beachfront and serving sustainable and delicious dishes in a cool and breezy atmosphere – the perfect place to chill after a busy day!
