Very relaxing. Hotel attendees were so kind and corteous to us, even after i went up to front desk asking different questions. But the young man there made me feel comfortable and of No bother. Hope he did well on his deep sea fishing escapade. Wish i could have stayed longer.
I love this place. I've been staying here for more than 20 years. As a former Aptosian, this is the hotel I recommend to everyone looking for somewhere close to the beach.
This is the worst company to work for and the most mediocre to stay at. The management treats all employees like disposable Garbage. Jill Crosby is a terrible lead supervisor and has no business running a hotel. The Rio Sands fires employees to avoid having to pay their benefits and overtime. For instance did they fired the best manager they had because he wanted a raise after working there for 6-7 years. Beware young jobseekers and vacationers do not be fooled and do not associate yourself with this company . Hopefully they go out of business soon so a new company can try run a fair equal opportunity business. Jill Crosby will fire you if you ask for more hours or benefits. You can expect a .33 cent raise after 2 years of hard work here. All I can say is JILL CROSBY has no business running a hotel and being under the influence at work is a crime! You know what I'm talking about. Allen Property Group Drug test your management and this message will all make sense.
Wonderful place to stay especially for families.
The staff is great! They really put every effort into making sure that your stay is as stress free as they can.
They pool is clean and kept at 80 degrees. The hot tub is wonderful too. At 9:00 P.M. everything is closed and covered so everyone is wound down for a good night's sleep.
Breakfast is served in the commen hall 7-10 A.M. only steps away. 5 different coffees, O.J. is the best. Waffles, regular or blueberry, cereals, fresh fruit, different breads and bagels, yogurt, All self serve.
Beach is only 200ft from the Hotel.
Rooms have different configurations to fit many different families.
All in all 5 of 5! Will be back next time.
Really nice little hotel! In a cute little neighborhood in Aptos, short walk from the beach! Peaceful area, hotel is very warm and inviting. Plus they have memory foam mattresses! First hotel I've ever actually been jealous of the bed, lol!
Room was newly renovated, spacious and lovely. This is an ideal location and super close to the beach. Walking distance. Free enhanced continental breakfast. The grounds were well taken care and there was delicious hot coffee in the lobby all hours. The employees were helpful and friendly. Lots of noisy kids during this visit but it should not be a reason to score this place anything but a 5 star . After all, isn't the beach all about family time?
Super friendly staff! Clean rooms and grounds. Very family friendly! Breakfast available at 7am and good coffee! Good coffee was a very pleasant surprise. They serve Santa Cruz Roasters. I will be back very soon!
Basic beach side motel. Stair carpet could use a clean. Nice staff. Comfortable beds.
Nice hotel. Pool and hot tubs very nice. Breakfast room very nice. Room (two queen) was a bit small and bathroom was a bit dated. Everything was clean and staff were friendly.
