Book a hotel near Blue Parrotfish Water Park, Santa Cruz

"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. "

"We LOVED our stay here. Savaneta/Pos chiquito is our favorite part of the island to stay… we love being away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist towns. Mangel halto is an incredibly gorgeous beach and this house is perfect. The cozy and comfy decor and the sliders that open all the way across the front of the house set the perfect Caribbean vibe. The layout of the 3 beds and 3 baths give plenty of privacy and space for everyone. There’s no need for a pool… just take a float into the gorgeous water of mangel halto and you’re instantly in heaven!!! Also great snorkeling spot! The owner Michel is so quick to communicate and very helpful with anything you need. We will 100% be staying here again! We’ve stayed in some great houses in aruba, and this one is now our favorite.A few things to note are that Mangel Halto is a local area. The locals love to hang out here in the evenings and play their music and cut loose. We LOVED this, but this vibe may not be for everyone. There are also dogs that walk freely around the area and they are super friendly and love company. We also loved this!!! We felt safe and comfortable at all times. If what you want is a genuine aruba experience, this is the perfect place to stay! "

"Directly across from the most beautiful beach on the island. Far away from the tourists. Grab a pastechi for breakfast and a cold Balashi beer. Enjoy life like a local. Make memories you never wanna forget"

"no hot water but a great spot across street from cool beach"

"I was moved to another property due to an issue with my original location. The owner contacted me promptly and had additional support available in case I needed it. I am exited to go back to Aruba and hope to stay there again. "

"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. "
