Aruba sands is a great hotel to stay at if you are a fan of the Gold Coast. The rooms are not the fanciest in Aruba but it is a good value for all of the activities close by.
Yes, sometimes a cheaper place may stretch your budget to an extra day or two which is always great! While I don't need room service or a pool I do like the basics such as clean linen when needed and a TV in the room.
I think this place does have a pool. I have stayed there as well and the service is good. I think the difference is that the rooms are not as impressive as far as set up. They are a lot like what you might find in the states.
Its a good place to stay, its only a few minutes walk along the beach at the same time the price is quite affordable at $180 a night for two is a good bargain for low seasons. The savings you get you could spend the rest of your money with different activities around Aruba, what do you think?
