Find hotels near Aruba Lava Formation, Santa Cruz from SAR 256

"We stayed for a week in early April. I had been to Aruba many times but this was my first time staying in a home outside of the hotel area. This home did not disappoint, the cove and beach right in the backyard was perfect for our children (age 7-11) and the pool was fantastic. The home had everything we needed and the location was easy to get to restaurants, shopping and other beaches during our stay. Would definitely recommend this home."

"This was our second stay at Coral Reef, and we really enjoy the laid back atmosphere. We can get in the car and go up to the high rise area and hang out and than come back n chill. The staff are always there to help, but I love how they just let you do your vacation. "

"Wonderful"

"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. "

"We LOVED our stay at Mammaloes! It felt authentic and was simply delightful. We loved the location near the donkey sanctuary (one of my favorite spots) and Willeke was so helpful and considerate, helping us quickly secure a car (we had forgotten) and super attentive to anything we asked for. Already ready to go back :)"

"We had a wonderful stay with our family of 7. Lots of space in the rooms and wonderful pool. We did a little snorkeling right off the beach by the house. There are several rocks to climb to reach the ocean and water shoes are helpful. There’s a nice dock nearby and our kids enjoyed jumping in the ocean from it. We did have an issue with the washing machine and dryer but Edward was helpful and replaced it the next morning with new ones. Highly recommend this beautiful house!"

"We spent four wonderful nights in Building #3. Last year we were in #1. Both units were more than advertised and the location is fabulous. The view of the ocean from our suite and pool were breathtaking. Well maintained and a very quiet neighborhood. We'll see you next year!"

"This beautiful home was perfect for our family. Quiet residential area, 2 min. Walk to beach, and 5 min. Walk to local supermarket. Will be back next year! Thank you to Edward and Antonio."

"Family and friends for a party of 10 for an amazing week in Aruba. It’s hard to say that the property could exceed the expectations I had from the photos, but it did!!’n Communication with the property manager and the assistance from all of the staff was also superb and a well oiled machine! Location on the beach, infinity pool, beds so comfy and amazing sunsets and plenty of space for all of us!!! We also hired Freya from Barbulet Concierge to arrange transportation, groceries and Chef service! It was an unforgettable week!!! "
