We loved our stay - the hotel pool and hot tubs were our favorite. The weekend pool party with a DJ was a fun scene. The lobby decor and games had a unique vibe. The restaurant food was good and we enjoyed eating at the pool. Our room was cute and clean, but a little tight for a family of four. Overall we enjoyed our stay and found great, affordable food options very close to the hotel.

Hotel Paradox is a gem in Santa Cruz. This hotel will hopefully set the tone for hotel improvement in the area. It is beautifully appointed. Very clean and beachy vibe. The pool area is very nice and is complimented by a nice bar and restaurant. The lobby is welcoming to families and has games for kids to play. The rooms were spacious.
