"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 "

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...
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...
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...
From the start of the stay until the end this was by far one of the coziest, most romantic, island/beach perfect hotel I've ever stayed at. Everything about the hotel makes you feel happy and like you're actually on a secluded island getaway. The most amazing thing about this hotel was that it didn't feel like it was on Palm Beach with all the high rises, it just felt like you were in your own little corner of Aruba. The staff is super friendly and always happy. The breakfasts were just the...
We had a wonderful 4 night break at the Ritz Carton over President's weekend. So although it was busy, the hotel was able to manage with the high volume of guests. The room was spacious with beautiful bathroom! The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating to our every need. We enjoyed the restaurants, where food was outstanding (if a little pricey!) We enjoyed using the fitness center every day too. A lot of good equipment and plenty of space. We would definitely return here.
We loved our stay at the Divi Phoenix. It was perfect for our first visit to Aruba. The proximity to the beach was great and made it super easy to reserve a palapa each morning.
Drinks made by Sandra at the pool bar were the best!
Getting our beach towels from Sandra each morning was a delight, she was lovely :)
Highly recommend choosing the Divi Phoenix for your next trip.
We chose Bubali Bliss for our "romantic getaway" and it was perfect. Having done the all inclusive bit before, we were looking for something way quieter, more romantic, and with a local, island feel. Bubali Bliss Studios fit the bill perfectly. Located right next to a Superfood, we were able to buy snacks and drinks to enjoy in our room-a nice touch for lazy mornings over coffee, something we never get to enjoy at home! Additionally, the location was also ideal for all activities: a 5 minute...
I booked this stay for a short night to escape a bad situation and the host was so wonderful and kind to me. She upgraded my room and drove me directly to the airport the next morning. I was comfortable and safe!
Evelyn at the front desk was extremely accommodating in helping with our rooms, she made our vacation 100% more pleasant, thanks Evelyn. The rest of the staff greeted us everywhere with smiles and pleasant attitudes. The room service was daily even though we did not need it except once. The gym is pretty basic but functional. Could use some weights/barbells for strength training. We did not use the restaurant at all during our stay as we did a lot of outdoor stuff and drove all over the island....
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.
The property was quiet the 4 nights I stayed there which was highly appreciated. It's a small complex of mainly couples or small families. It is walking distance to the beach (Marriot resort) and to a small market. I found it cleanly and comfortable.
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...
