Book a Santa Cruz Cottage

"The place is really well maintained and beautiful. They do a lot of events. But what stood up are the staff. They are so kind and very helpful. Kudos to Peter and Ticiana for making us feel so welcome. They were so helpful and always smiling. "

"Everything was same as usual except check-in. Took us almost three hours to get a room - sitting in hot lobby with our winter clothes on. "

"I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I booked this property, given it was significantly less expensive than the other ones around it at the time when I was looking. However, this place definitely exceeded my expectations. The room is huge with a bunch of extra things in the kitchen like, silverware, blender, pots & pans, etc. The staff were super friendly. PARTICULARLY the older bellman with brown skin and a slim build, I cannot remember his name but he was delightful and should genuinely get a raise based on how much he cared for the guests and how helpful he was for someone like myself. I enjoyed the beach being right across the street, as well as the views from the gym and the gift shop with the snacks. Overall, this place was great and honestly, a lot better than I thought it would be. Personally, I would recommend this place to a friend/family member"

"Easy access to beach everyone was friendly our new vacation spot!"

"The rooms were spacious, modern, and super comfortable, and the whole vibe felt calm, polished, and elevated. The pool area? Chic, relaxing, and not overcrowded—exactly what you want on a getaway. Staff was attentive and welcoming, which made the stay feel even more high-end. Not beachfront, but still perfectly located. "

"This is our 6th stay at the Divi all inclusive. The food at the 5 reservation restaurants has gone down, it is good when it used to be great. The worst part was the smoking it seemed that they were smoking everywhere even around children at the pool. Smoking needs to be limited to just a few places away from most of the people."

"Such an amazing experience. The staff was extremely generous and helpful at all times, the breakfast spread was the best, and every area was clean. The room was sparkling and every other part of the hotel. The pool had a beautiful setup with cabanas, lounge chairs and a pool bar. I will definitely be back"

"Meals were wonderful, lots of choices and good value for the money. Some restaurants never seemed to have availability though. Not sure if the reservation system was also open to the general public. If so, people staying there should get preferred treatment. Fortunately, one restaurant took pitty on us, and snuck us in. Do Not Use the Concierge to book excursions! We wanted snorkeling and sunset cruise. I think the company the concierge recommended must have been giving her some serious kickback $$$. The meal was meh. The snorkeling was rough going in choppy water. Didn't get to see anything because I was exhausted 5 minutes after getting in the water. The tour guides should have known and moved over to the over side of Aruba where I hear it was much easier. Glad we were on the far end, 2200/2300 building area. Beach was shallow and no rocks fortunately. Just past the Bunker bar, it was mainly rock to help with the erosion problem. Keep your AC on and door closed otherwise humidity condenses on tile floor and you could slip."

"Staff were always so nice and helpful! And the resort was beautiful and had lots of activities and pools for everyone!"
