kitchen

The property is close to a small beach, shopping, and restaurants. However, when I arrived, no one appeared to be onsite. A neighbour provided a phone number for the manager, who seemed to have no record of my reservation. Eventually, the lady cleaning the property came out and showed me to my unit, which was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was fully equipped with full sized fridge and stove, coffee maker, pots, pans, plates, and utensils. The TV worked well, and the garden around the property is beautiful and serene.

However, the blinds covering the front door of my unit were partly broken, so I always had to keep the bedroom door closed for privacy. The batteries in the remote for the AC were run down, so I was sometimes not able to get it to turn off or on. The soap dish in the shower was broken off, so no place to rest the soap. The wi-fi was off for a couple of days, but we were given alternative credentials by the cleaning lady.

If you want a safe, reasonable, clean place to stay downtown, this will work. But, if you prefer something less rustic, book a hotel.

Budget accommodations

When we arrived is a big house divided into apartments. As soon as we parked the property manager came out right away. He told us where to park and he escorted us in and walked into the one bedroom apartment. He was trying to see what kind of people we were by the looks he was giving us! I felt very awkward. The villa had no view to the ocean although on the pics it was showing a terrace with table and ocean view. We had a street view from the bedroom. The apartment was old so was the furniture the tv had horrible reception the kitchen had a coffee machine from the 70’s. The door has blinds that one is broken and u can see in and out. We felt watched. The property manager tells us to make sure we turn off the ac when we go out. And to top it all off NO HOT WATER!!! 😱 on top of that is asked about the terrace at least to compensate and we can not use it is only for the top unit and he lives there. I don’t think it should be shown as Part of the property!! So we  just left and decided to go to another hotel the next morning! 

Never again

Property had no sign letting us know we were at the right location.  No parking lot, street parking only.  Air conditioning only worked after the owner got it going somehow.  No blankets on the bed only a sheet.  No hot water for showering only lukewarm water.  The location is walking distance to the downtown area but you must drive to the beaches.  Will not be staying there again.  Will book at a hotel next time.

Not exactly as described

Aruba, being a huge tourist destination has two choice of accommodations. Go to the area that’s full of high rises, tourist restaurants and other tourists, or stay in a different area.
This is what we chose, walking distance to some lovely restaurants and the main town.
We hired a car so distance wasn’t an issue.
We arrived about 9pm, minus my luggage to be greeted by the owner who happened to be on site.
He is a lovely, friendly man.
Our room, downstairs and tucked in a corner was good, not great, but perfectly adequate. It was large, sotless, had a kitchen and was quiet.
We did have an issue with mosquitos to start with, but spray was provided and that took care of them

Great position

Steak was great , sides were awesome. Reasonable prices for the food you are getting. Excellent service very friendly . Atmosphere is nice but not like a madam jennetts. I would highly recommend going located at low rise area .

Excellent

Upon arrival there is no "parking lot" there is street parking only.  You are on your own with bags and the room is filthy and dusty.  It looked like no one had been there for a month and it was never mopped.  No housekeeping no beach, the owner tried to give me a towel and told me I could use the Renaissance, ahh no.  There was a dog that barked all night from next store.. never stopped.  I would never stay here again.
