Book Cheap Hotels in Santa Cruz

"I just returned from a five-day trip to Aruba, marking our fourth visit to the island, our first stay at the Radisson Blu, and our first experience in a non-beachfront hotel. **Pros:** The rooms are spacious with large balconies, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The pools were beautiful, and lounge chairs and umbrellas were always available at the pool and the beach. We never had any trouble securing a spot. The staff was fantastic and readily available to answer any questions. **Cons:** Housekeeping left something to be desired; they didn’t wipe down tables or clean the floors during our entire stay. They only made the beds and provided fresh towels, which was disappointing. While the walk to the beach is short, it can feel a bit inconvenient if you’re accustomed to beachfront properties. However, there’s a shuttle service available for those who prefer not to walk. Despite not having direct beach access, the overall high quality of the property makes it a minor issue. Having stayed at the Ritz and Marriott Stellaris, I can confidently say that the rooms at Radisson Blu are much more spacious and modern! Overall, it’s a beautiful, upscale, quiet, and relaxing property!"

" Beautiful location and view from room was a plus. Very hospitable service including Mercedes who treated us like family. Beachfront and walking path was very nice. Steak restaurant was wonderful if you could get in. Lines formed very early but worth the wait. Would come again."

"Great property."

"Our room was half way between the ocean and pool/ bar making very convenient. Only complaint is that there should have been instructions on how to use the mirror technology. Also wasn’t informed that we had to dump the water in the humidifier twice a day. We will definitely be back. "

"No complaints! Hotel was nice, staff was great. 5$-7$ will get you to palm or eagle beach. It is walkable if you would like to also. Great stay. They do have a resort fee."

"We stayed at the royal level and loved the view from the room, the access to beach, safe walkable path outside, free flowing drinks and food. We specifically loved the Japanese place for dinner - Kyoto"
