Captain Jack's Lodging Recommendations
There are so many hotels in Santa Barbara, it's hard to choose one! Captain Jacks Tours can provide door-to-door transportation from any hotel in Santa Barbara, but here are a few of Captain Jack's personal recommendations.
Secluded Mountain Top Retreat
This mountain top retreat center is located in the beautiful Los Padres National Forest just 20 miles from Santa Barbara. The 210 acre camp provides breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the channel islands and can accommodate groups as small as 10 people as well as groups with up to 160 partcipants. The retreat features many activities such as high & low ropes courses, paintball, a recreation room with ping pong, foosball, bumper pool and air hockey, and a huge grass field which is perfect for softball, frisbee, capture the flag, and more. Horseback riding and the beach are only a short drive away. View the information video on youtube for more details.
Santa Barbara Ramada Limited
The Ramada Limited is situated between Santa Barbara and Goleta and is only a short 5 minute drive from downtown Santa Barbara. They feature some of the best room rates in town as well as exceptional customer service. You will also want to take advantage of their swimming pool and hot tub!
Holiday Inn
The Holiday Inn is located in Goleta, about a 10 minute drive from downtown Santa Barbara. There is a shopping center with many restaurants nearby, as well as a bowling alley and other stores. The Holiday Inn features an outdoor pool, a restaurant, and Captain Jack's guests will also receive 25% off room service.
Hotel Oceana
This beautiful Hotel is located along Santa Barbara's oceanfront drive, Cabrillo Blvd. This is a great spot if you want to be within walking distance of the beach, and it's also very close to downtown Santa Barbara and within walking distance of many restaurants. One of Captain Jack's favorites!
Old Yacht Club Inn
The Old Yacht Club Inn is a hidden treasure among the many hotels of Santa Barbara. The Old Yacht Club Inn has been voted as one of the best bed and breakfast spots in the country. It is also only a few blocks from the beach, and only a couple miles from downtown. Charming!
