Top Hotels Near Donkey Sanctuary in Santa Cruz from NZ$225

"This property was excellent! Here are the best parts: 1) The house and back area were huge and beautiful. Tons of tables/seating areas for big groups. Plenty of sun and shade locations to relax out back. 2) Bedrooms and bathrooms were great. Big bedrooms with air conditioners to suit each person. Water pressure and hot water were plentiful. 3) Easy to make our own meals in the giant kitchen. Also a washer and dryer right there.4) House is right on the beach so you can hear the ocean all the time. 5) The pool is wonderful and well kept. Bigger than I expected. We put the lounge chairs right in the shallow end. Heaven. 6) Host is really easy to work with, responds quickly, and very accommodating! The grill ran out of gas and he had someone there super quick to fix it. We also asked for a late checkout because one of our group members was ill and needed to rest, and he was great about it. 7) Very close (but not walkable) to a supermarket and great restaurants (like Zeerovers).Very small cons:1) Beach is rocky right by the house, but you can just walk or drive 3 minutes down to snorkel and swim at Mangel Halto beachbest snorkeling on the island. 2) You have to drive to get to a walkable beach. 3) Would love to have a local guide of nearby stores/restaurants. Yes, we can Google, but a local’s perspective would be good. 4) Traffic on the main road (not the one the house is on) can get bad, but not like the north side!Great place - just book it! Thanks, Edward!"

"Mammaloes is magical. If you're looking for a! Easy to experience Aruba without the hustle and bustle of the resort areas this is a wonderful place to do so. A short drive from all the beaches and attractions but quiet and serene. Very safe for solo travelers. "

"Owner and staff were great. "

"The apartment is beautifully situated with great ocean and snorkeling access and a 2 minute walk to the beach! It was clean and beautiful, but the appliances could use some maintenance (the toilet runs and only one burner works on the stove.) John is a welcoming host and the use of the beach chairs and coolers was most welcome. Best to rent a car if you stay here, it has one fabulous restaurant around the corner but there isn’t much else nearby."
