"Our stay was amazing, Mariel and Dirk were the most friendly and helpful hosts, they helped us with absolutely everything we needed (and more). The property is clean, beautiful and well located right in the middle of the island. They have beach chairs and coolers for rental and even some free snorkel gear which was very useful to us.
When we come back to Aruba we definitely stay here again."
"Fantastic, relaxing stay! Breakfast was amazing and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even assisting us with car rental!! Definitely looking forward to another stay!"
"This was a good budget option for a work stay. Its a very central property and only a short walk to restaurants and shopping. The room was small and quite basic but the bed was really comfortable and I slept exceptionally well."
"The Hotel is superb very helpful and very informative. The location is great easy to drive going to downtown, Oranjestad. Just five minutes drive to Aloe Vera Museum. Highly recommended this hotel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ from Calgary, AB Canada 🇨🇦"
"It was everything I expected. The furniture in the rooms was a lil beat up and the tv only had a few channels but the room was 7/10😉 The staff was excellent."
"Jesus was super friendly and very helpful. The property was clean and the recommendations he gave for things to do around the island were appreciated. Will be visiting again in the future and staying here. Thanks for everything! Loved Aruba "
Lowest nightly price found within the past 24 hours based on a 1 night stay for 2 adults. Prices and availability subject to change. Additional terms may apply.
The place is nice and very clean. The rooms are cleaned and beds made up every day. Security is a pro. The personnel is very kind and generous. The pool is great. I will definitely come back again.
My stay with Dirk and Mariel was overall a 10/10 experience !! They are both super friendly , helpful , professional and attentive !! When I booked , I originally booked for only 2 night but I wanted to extend an extra 3 and they assisted me to the best of their ability and accommodated me . I usually don’t like to stay at homes with the hosts on the property but this one was such a blessing .. they made me feel safe and as if I was home . They are not in your way at all but it did come in handy...
Wonders Boutique was a welcome surprise. We stayed at "Wonders" for two nights to end our 12 day stay in Aruba (our 4th trip to this beautiful, friendly Island) and enjoyed the quaintness of the hotel. Gaston welcomed us at his hotel on our 3 hour early arrival from a 1 week stay at La Cabana. The room wasn't quite ready which presented no problem as we were able to relax in the beautiful garden setting around the pool. This hotel resort clearly displays the personal touch that Gaston and his...
Thank you for letting us stay in your apartment. Your apartment was very clean. Everything was very nice. The area was very nice and safe the pool my daughter loved it. I love swimming in the pool as well or you would definitely stay again. When I needed garbage bags and toilet paper, the owner responded very quickly. Thank you for that.
I hope to stay again in the future thank you again for everything
There are nice bars just around the corner of the block.
As of 12/29/2022, just $24 Taxi ride to the airport, $10 taxi to the Renaissance complex on 1A highway near cruise ship terminal... Wilhelminastraat runs east-west, it's about 8-10 blocks, easily walkable so no taxis required for walking to cruise ship terminal area for restaurants and bars.
Super friendly staff, little breakfast/bar area for coffee/bagel breakfast service. Rooms small, but super clean and quiet for great rest at night...
It was great to stay here the view was amazing the food nearby activities and excursions and the private island 4 minutes near by beaches and the host was great and suites was so nice and big and comfortable an great prices I am going back real soon ❤️❤️❤️
This was our second time visiting JOIA and it was an excellent stay like the first time, which is why we returned. We had a minor inconvenience on our third day but one of the managers Mariana went above and beyond to rectify the situation. We were truly appreciative and thankful for the level of service she provided.
Enjoyed the 5night-4day stay at the Hotel. Very clean and well maintained. Can see attention to detail all over the hotel. In the design of the rooms, facilities, service etc.
Breakfast included had a large number of options, some of which changed daily. The large seating area ensures, you are never out of a table to enjoy the breakfast. Made to order omlettes were really good.
Even though the Hotel is not directly attached to the beach. You can cross the not-busy-at-all road to reach the...
Clean, happy studio/apartments fully equipped (especially if you travel as a family but also as a solo traveller on a budget). Staff ia friendly an helpful. The place is lliterally across the beach. You can even go barefoot if you wish. SuperMarket (Cosco type) is walking distance. Bus stop to take you to Arashi Beach is outside the hotel same for Downtown. I strongly recommend and i definately rebooking it
LOVED our stay here and will be back for sure. Beautiful beaches, great staff and grounds were lovely. Only negatives were that breakfast buffet was mediocre and I would have loved to have robes available for after showering. Highly recommend!
Host Fernando was very gratious. His home is a large expansive eclectically decorated space. There are multiple rooms all decorated differently. He has a very large back yard oasis that we enjoyed relaxing in before and after going out. We had a ref in our room for drinks. Fernando had a new years eve party for some friends (started at midnight) and we were invited. He gave us champaigne and food. He lit off an enormous string of fireworks. The home is located east of downtown close to druif...
The resort was wonderful. Very clean.
The staff for the most part was cordial but not as helpful and welcoming as you would expect coming to Aruba for the first time.
The beach was great and it was easy to relax and enjoy the whole resort. The staff in the restaurants and bar were friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed the Christmas Mass. I would not hesitate to return on my next trip to Aruba.
