Top Hotels Near Aruba Lava Formation in Santa Cruz from NZ$314

"Wonderful family vacation. Great stay and beautiful home. "

"Excellent location and staff with private dock and grotto. Best snorkeling in Aruba is right there with a barrier reef about 100 a-yards out. Loved it."

"A clean and cozy place on the southern part of the island. Nothing fancy - but a very clean Villa right on a very secluded part of the beach. All new appliances, remodeled bathroom, and cold A/C throughout the entire Villa were a plus at this Villa! Villa also had an outdoor charcoal BBQ pit and a new gas grill. A wonderful private little place to relax and recharge without breaking the budget. In the evenings, my daughter and I would sit on the covered porch and play games or sit on the lounge chairs along the beach (directly outside from Villa) and watch the sunset. We rented a car so traveling to other parts of the island and resort areas were simple. The owner and staff really care about your comfort and want to ensure that all of your expectations are met. And of course, everyone on the island is super chill and happy."

"We’ve been staying at this property for a couple of years already. We love it and wouldn’t pick any other."

"Our stay at Mammaloes was absolutely wonderful. The property offered everything we needed. The pool area is perfect for lounging in the afternoon, right at the hottest part of the day. The outdoor kitchen is well equipped and the rooms very suitable to a cozy stay. "

"Let me first say this is not a resort, but if you are into hiking, exploring, roughing it a little, then this is your place. You will find the need to rent a car as the home is closer to the rugged coast and in the middle of the island in Santa Cruz. Recommend four wheel drive. Host are very accommodating and extremely communicative. This is our second time in Aruba, the first time at a resort and the second time at this little gem. We enjoyed our second trip so much more and saw much more of the island this time. You have a view of the rough cost, ocean and sunrise every morning. PROS - free WIFI, private pool, large bar area, great location, with car you can get to any spot on the island in 30 minutes. Outside shower separate from the main living area. Stove, fridge, microwave, utensils and cookware. Plenty of outside chairs. Cooler to take to the beach along with towels and beach towels. Also you can save on bottled water, we bought a few and refilled from the tap, the water on Aruba is one of the cleanest in the world. Also , TV with cable. The outside area is amazing. Our 8 day stay was cheaper than one night in the better all-inclusive resorts. CONS - No washer and dryer. But not a problem for us, we just rinsed our clothes in the sink and hung them on the line. Next time we will pack lighter.In closing this was perfect for my wife and I. Really nice for two people or a small family. If we go a third time we will definitely stay here again. "

"It was just what the doctor ordered! Sophie was beyond gracious. We would hang with her any day. Definitely coming back."

"If you have a beautiful and clean home, then this is a home away from home. Host is the greatest, she pulled up at the same time that I arrived. She gave a thorough walkthrough and showed me where everything was and how to operate all appliances and lighting as well as locking up for the night evening.evening.evening.that'needed"

"This property is very relaxing, clean, and comfortable. Catherine was great and very attentive and helpful."
