Santa Cruz Hotel Guide - Balashi Gold Smelter Ruins hotels in Santa Cruz, Aruba.

"Fantastic place! Great views and quiet area, highly recommend!"

"A very unique experience. It met my expectations. Owner was very accommodating. Need a car, but then everything is very close. Nice pool, nice private outside areas as well as common areas. Extremely affordable. Keep in mind , I stayed in the Gypsy wagon Queenie for 2 weeks, it’s small but it has what you need. They also have an outdoor kitchen area where we occasionally cooked our own breakfast. Owner gave us a dozen eggs . I look forward to going back again "

"Couldn’t have been any better!Perfect private setting- with easy access to tranquil water! Shared property amenities abundant!Absolutely enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning!"

"We loved the home and being right on the beach was such a nice experience. The property manager Ton was very helpful and accommodating, we loved having the 10 person van available, we used it everyday. it was easy to drive and maneuver. I personally liked not being surrounded by hotels and resorts. I liked the quieter residential area. By staying here you get a closer look at Aruban life which I appreciate. Locals are all friendly. Enjoyed the reef in our backyard and seeing the local wildlife; iguanas, pelicans, small lizards and birds. Some of our group did some snorkeling right there and really enjoyed seeing all the many species of fish. Currently the home next door is being renovated there was a few days of unpleasant noise, thank goodness it di not continue all week. "

"First off, having ensuite bathrooms is always a win. The house is absolutely beautiful. The owner is very nice. Thank you for a beautiful time in Aruba."

"great staff, property very close to beach, great views "

"Located in the very safe and quiet area. Great place to stay if you want to snorkle. Rent a car. Bring water shoes and snorkeling gear. Yes, no hot shower; but we almost didn't need one. "
