Santa Cruz Hotel Guide. Hotels in Jamanota, Santa Cruz, Aruba

"The service staff was excellent. That includes restaurant, housekeeping, reception, pool bar and food. The only complaint would be at the towel huts. It was like a chore to get a fresh towel. Also, except for the last day, the pool bar though very responsive must have been watering down the alcohol. Very weak!"

"Our stay at Joia aruba was one of a kind experience! The staff was super friendly and helpful The hotel was newly built at the time of our stay The food was really good with 3 restaurants and amazing breakfast The hotel was a legit 5 star Will come back for sure! "

"Have stayed here many years and always the best of everything!"

"The room was spotless and the staff was top tier. Especially Dre."

"The room had an amazing view and all the staff were extremely friendly! The food and activities will be awesome! Good times!!"

"All the staff was amazing. The folks at Tuccis(? The Tams bar at entrance) were especially impressive. And of course it’s Aruba! Was in the 2100 building ground floor and was the best room I’ve ever had. Didn’t get a chance to eat at an ala carte, but the buffets were very good. Not saying 5 star dining, but very good and better than expected. The only gripe I have and does not impact the rating is young children sitting at the bar. In my opinion it is inappropriate for young children to be seated at a bar where alcohol and smoking occur. My opinion, but doesn’t impact my rating"

"Extremely clean, so many details which provided a very enjoyable and relaxing stay! Happy hour each day, wonderful buffet breakfast with made to order omelets and great food variety. Extremely helpful and cheerful staff, cabanas on a beautiful section of beach which was no where near as crowded as Palm Beach! Restaurants and entertainment in walking distance. Rooms very comfortable and well laid out"

"My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at the Wind Creek Aruba Resort. Our goal was toes in the sand, no agenda, reset, relaxation. We stayed at the adults-only/Marina side. We had an amazing time and will likely be back! What we LOVED: - Staff - so friendly and helpful - Amenities - left like there were enough chairs, floats, etc for everyone without having to wait or be disappointed - Beaches/pools - the private island is amazing - the flamingos, iguanas, and atmosphere was perfect for us. The oceanside beach and pool were perfect and peaceful. None of the beaches or pool felt too crowded. Loved that so many water amenities were included - nothing like floating on the sea without fear of being pulled out too far. - Food - so many food options and each was delicious. We passed on "all inclusive" so we could explore the dining nearby - no regrets, soooo good. - Rooms - were very comfortable and well kept during our stay - Aruba in general - water quality was excellent, felt very safe. Wish we knew/would do differently next time: - Stay - I wish I'd understood that staying on the adults only/Marina side meant I would need to get on a boat or walk a ways to reach my beach options. Next time, we'd book oceanside. - Room - because we were in the adults only and/or the location of our room, it was easy to hear everything going on in the lobby/bar until all hours of the night. Just wasn't the vibe for us on this trip. "

"The facility and amenities were both fantastic . The service was top notch and attentive. The beach was small and crowded but the beach staff did their best to accommodate the guests. I would return !!"
