Located just 550 metres from the historic Looff Carousel, the lovely 4-star Casablanca Inn On The Beach Santa Cruz offers Wi-Fi in public areas and private car parking. The smoke-free inn also offers views of Santa Cruz Wharf and proximity to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Iconic Amusement Park, which is merely 0.6 km away.

Location

This Santa Cruz hotel is near the entertainment district of Santa Cruz and a stone's throw from the Wide Main Sandy Beach. The Casablanca Santa Cruz offers location within 20 minutes' walk of the protected Lighthouse Field State Beach.

You can easily find Santa Cruz Surfing Museum only 1.6 km from the accommodation.

Guests will find Sky Glider cable car station in proximity to the hotel.

Rooms

Overlooking the patio, some rooms at the Casablanca feature a stone fireplace furnished with a writing table. They come equipped with tea and coffee-making facilities for self-catering along with complimentary wireless internet and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels for business and leisure. Offering amenities such as bath sheets and bathrobes, the bathrooms also have a separate toilet.

Eat & Drink

Guests can relax in the on-site lounge bar. Situated a mere 8 minutes' walk from Casablanca Inn On The Beach, the soup restaurant Riva Fish House offers an American menu.

Leisure & Business

Other facilities at the property include a sunbathing terrace, a lobby fireplace, and a golf course.

“In my opinion, this four-star beachfront inn certainly courts families with its Santa Cruz location and pet-friendly policies. The ocean views and balcony access, standard in many rooms, are the true highlights. I think the unique beach cottage style and Thai dining add some charm, but I'd consider construction next door.”
