Santa Cruz Holidays from £1,150

The complex was clean, well-maintained, and the owner was frequently on site if you had any questions or needed assistance. Beach chairs and coolers were also available to rent for $5 per day for each item. Be sure to choose your room category carefully. I booked a studio in a rush and was disappointed to find that the kitchen and cooking utensils were located in a shared outdoor area by the pool rather than in the unit. The studio also had a small fridge and a Nespresso machine, but you’ll need to bring or buy your own coffee pods. The studio was also smaller than I expected. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but next time I would book a larger room with a private kitchenette.

This resort is close to the beach. Free parking. Driving is very easy in Aruba.

We rented a 3 bedroom with balcony facing the rear of the property for a week. Easy check in process, plenty of parking for rental car. Clean condo with AC that kept us very comfortable and even chilly during our stay. We requested an additional blanket for the living room couch and were able to get that quickly. Staff is extremely helpful. King size beds in each room were comfortable. Plenty of pillows, towels, beach towels, beach chairs, cooler available for use. Best part is LOCATION. Walk to tons of restaurants, bars, shopping, casino, beach, ATV rental -all walking distance. The area felt safe to wander during day or night. It’s a busy area -especially at night but we didn’t hear anything from inside the condo. Condo has washer and dryer which we did use and worked great. Nice big Smart TVs in each room also. A short ride to the supermarket to get snacks and additional supplies. Condo starter items provided but we ended up purchasing additional toilet paper and paper towel for the week. Some suggestions for the owner would be to provide filters for the coffee maker and some basic cleaning supplies. I highly recommend the Cove and would definitely stay there again.
