Santa Cruz Beach Holiday
The smell of salty sea air and fabulous ocean views are some things to look forward to on your Santa Cruz holiday. If you're eager to save on your trip to Santa Cruz, here's how to do it — opt for one of our Santa Cruz holiday deals. Grab one close to Dos Playa, only 3 kilometres from the centre of town and a must-see while here. Alternatively, select a package that puts you close to Daimari Beach, another gorgeous strip of coast. Whichever you choose, you'll be left with extra dollars in your holiday budget to have fun with.

Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort
We loved the flamingo island experience and the ability to use both hotels. The rooms in the marina were a bit outdated- shower leaks, refrigerator leaks but overall great!
