Hotels in Oranjestad

Positiv:: Alles. Wir waren bereits vor 3 Jahren im Bucuti und schon damals restlos begeistert! Für uns war klar, dass wir, wenn wir nach Aruba fliegen was noch sehr oft der Fall sein wird, einzig das Bucuti für uns in Frage kommt. Ausserordentlich schöner Resort mit einem wahnsinnig tollen Strand, dem besten auf Aruba. Die Liegen sind äusserst bequem, das Personal hinreissend zuvorkommend, das Management sehr herzlich und der „smoking umbrella“ am Strand oder die Raucher-Insel im Garten der perfekte Ort für meet and greet. Es hat unglaublich viele Repeaters, Wiederkehrer, wie generell auf Aruba und auch wir haben viele Pärchen aus vergangenen Urlauben getroffen. Das Frühstücksbüffet ist toll und der Infinity-Pool spitze, dass sogar wir, die Pools am Meer kategorisch meiden, darin geschwommen sind. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Negativ:: ? Rein nichts zu beanstanden.

Positiv:: The Breakfast was really great! Fresh fruit, an omelet station, waffles, eggs benedict, and a special option of the day. You would end up spending at least $12 per person without tip somewhere else. The Staff here really go out of there way to make it a special trip for you. It is also very romantic and quiet. My wife and I will be coming back for sure! Also the Beach is the best we've been to!

Negativ:: There is nothing to complain about this Resort. It truly is wonderful.

Positiv:: Big rooms, great amenities and gym. Staff genuinely friendly and helpful. Location on the beach

Negativ:: Loud, very loud group of Americans on the beach or at the bar which can be quite annoying sometimes, especially if you want to relax with your wife. I felt the staff was more attentive to them at times (probably tips)

Positiv:: Food was awesome, great choices, service was outstanding! Rooms were clean and very nice and comfortable! Beach was unlike any other!!!

Negativ:: Sometimes a little too quiet. Would prefer a little background music at beach or bar. Bed could have been a little more comfortable.

Positiv:: Sehr gute Lage, Top-Strand, Frühstück sehr gut und große Auswahl, Freundlichkeit des Personals

Negativ:: Zimmerreinigung klappte an einigen Tagen nicht.

Positiv:: What is there not to like !! Such a beautiful and peaceful location.. this was the perfect location for a couple. Good amazing staff super friendly and attentive beach phenomenal... I can not say enough about this location... we are so happy we chose Bucuti!

Negativ:: That we had to leave !!!

Positiv:: Geräumige Suite mit tollem Meerblick und wunderschönem Strand direkt vor der Haustür. Sehr freundlicher Sektempfang und ebenso freundliche Mitarbeiter. Wir waren überrascht von den diversen kleinen Gastgeschenken. Die hilfreiche Concierge hat uns die Planung von Unternehmungen sehr erleichtert. Zweimal die Woche Kino am Strand mit Popcorn. Insgesamt sehr saubere Anlage.

Negativ:: Die Sitzmöbel an der Strandbar sind leider sehr von Vogelkot betroffen. Gerwöhnungsbedürftig war, dass man die Wassertemperatur in der Dusche nicht regulieren konnte. Das Wasser kommt einfach handwarm aus der Brause. Arubatypisch recht hohe Preise für Speisen und Getränke (es gibt aber eine großzügige Happy Hour).

Positiv:: Alles war perfekt. Insbesondere die extreme, ehrliche Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter, das Nachhaltigkeitskonzept, die perfekte Organisation und einer der schönsten Strände der Welt.

Positiv:: We spend our honeymoon here and it was the best selection we would have!!!

Positiv:: Beautiful grounds. Well maintained and beautifully laid out.

Negativ:: All employees were extremely detailed and proud to care for the property. All facilities were within walking distance.

Positiv:: Frühstücksauswahl und Lage des Hotels

Negativ:: Die Helllhörigkeit der Zimmer

Positiv:: Alles! Das superfreundliche Personal, der Strand, das super Essen! Alles top! Nicht zu vergessen: das "grüne Konzept"!

Positiv:: Die lage

Negativ:: Der Pool wurde während unseren Ferien renoviert, wie auch mehrere Zimmer, was Lärm verursachte, wie auch kein Baden ermöglichte.

Positiv:: Die Lage ist traumhaft, kaum zu übertreffen.

Negativ:: Service entspricht nicht dem Preis. Und die Bedienungen sind scheinbar angehalten, möglichst schnell die Rechnung zu bringen. So bekam ich einmal beim Frühstück die Rechnung bevor ich überhaupt einen Kaffee bekam. Es fanden umfassende Arbeiten am Swimmingpool statt. Als Alleinreisender bekam ich dann auch ein Zimmer ganz in der Nähe der Bauarbeiten zugewiesen. Der Baulärm war furchtbar.

Positiv:: My wife and I loved EVERYTHING about Manchebo. We had excellent service, food, drinks, EVERYTHING! What a terrific place.

Negativ:: EVERYTHING was perfect at Manchebo. Highly recommend to anyone going to Aruba!

Positiv:: Everything from the moment we arrived.

Negativ:: Leaving the room. Also maybe the hotel needs renovation to keep the standards high.

Positiv:: The staff was helpful and kind.

Negativ:: The beach chairs were pretty far from the ocean. Couldn’t hear the waves. The pool was right outside the restaurant so people eating just watched you swim. Kind of awkward. The rooms were a bit musty. There weren’t many walkable shops or restaurants and the restaurants on property were very expensive.

Positiv:: Great location. Friendly staff.

Positiv:: People and Staff very friendly and professional

Negativ:: N/A...Everyone and everything was fantastic

Positiv:: I liked the size of the property. It was easy to get from your room to the beach. From the beach to the grill and pool area was convenient. The food was very good also. We had a very nice time.

Negativ:: More room on the balcony.

Positiv:: Es ist so einzigartig Hausstrand ist ein super weicher Sand und 100 Meter weiter war der Eagle Beach Das Personal ein Traum Vom Empfang bis zum Schluss alle nett Und vorallem Benutzt die Öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel die Funktionieren einwandfrei und man kommt überall Hin!!!!

Negativ:: Leider ein Negativer Punkt Leute reservieren die Liegen und wenn man einmal am Meer liegen will findet man vorne keinen Platz Finde ich unfair gegenüber anderen Gästen! Vor allem reservieren und dann zum Frühstück dass muss leider geändert werden

Positiv:: Lage, sehr gutes Essen, Strand

Negativ:: Aircondition im Restaurant, zu wenig Restaurant im Freien. Leider würde uns nicht mitgeteilt dass der Pool zu ist, respektive renoviert wird.

Positiv:: Loved the location and the overall privacy the resort offers and yet the social atmosphere too. We liked the smaller resort style too. Staff ie Josuel and Magda at the bar were above and beyond. The meals were fantastic and exceeded Expectations — Oh almost forgot about the spa. Amazing services

Negativ:: Not that we didn’t like but we would suggest it would be really wonderful to incorporate more hammocks in the open areas for cozy spots to read, nap etc. that would be a great enhancement of places to “hang out” in the shade or look at the stars

Positiv:: It really a corner of paradise! Everything perfect

Positiv:: The staff was extremely friendly, security was always around no matter the time of day or night, and my room was cleaned and mopped daily. This was a reasonable price resort worth every penny.

Negativ:: I was afraid of the iguanas but they don't bother you.

Positiv:: I love the people that worked there they were very nice. The food was very good, housekeeping was great too with cleaning our room everyday.

Negativ:: What I didn’t like was the WiFi wasn’t strong enough for our phones to work & when we checking in it we stood in like for our an hour. Then when we got called to check in the computers was slow & we had to wait for our keys to our room for almost an hour.

Positiv:: My wife, 9 months old and I had a great time at this hotel. Our little one loved the kiddie pool and even though there were plenty of kids in the hotel, it was never crowded and always clean. The beach is just across the street and it is absolutely gorgeous. We were always able to get lounge chairs and found a shady area to relax, I gave this hotel 4 stars because the food at the one restaurant available for lunch was not that great. The staff was nice but not efficient. The casino was pretty small and it did not have a lot of choices.

Positiv:: The resort is fabulous The beach is a three minute walk We will be back, already planning our next stay

Positiv:: Across from the beach,assesable to all market's and casinos,sidewalks everywhere.

Negativ:: No complaints about anything,did not like sand blowing on me at the beach while trying to get a tan.

Positiv:: The staff was very friendly and the service at the bar and restaurants was excellent. The location was perfect with a large sandy beach with palapas at no cost. The superfoods across the street and the kitchen in the room made it affordable for us to splurge on our dinners since we could dine in for breakfast and lunch. We ate at some amazing restaurants! We had an amazing vacation and will definitely come back to La Cabana!

Negativ:: The door adjoining our neighboring room seemed almost too thin or it could be that it had a large space from the bottom of the door to the floor. Our first night I could hear the people next door and they were up very late. I did put some rolled up towels at the bottom of the door which did help. I think they checked out the next day because it was very quiet for the remainder our stay.

Positiv:: The comfort and friendly staff! We have been coming to LA CABANA since the early 1900s with my children, who are now all grownup, yet my husband and I still always choose this resort! We'll be back year for sure!

Negativ:: Can't think of anything!

Positiv:: Comfy bed.... couch bed ok but could be a bit more comfortable. Food good and reasonable. Ran into a room electronic key issue and were given an upgraded room and gift certicate to dine do to inconvenience. Original room quite a distance from pool area but new room perfect! Beach beautiful as well as view and sunset!

Negativ:: Inconvenience of original room given but made up for it upon inquiry.

Positiv:: Friendly and helpful staff. Clean updated rooms. Lots of activity around the pool, food was great and good prices for drinks. lots of happy hours!

Negativ:: Tends to echo when people are not being respectfully quiet late at night or early in the morning.

Positiv:: Everything was good, the beach in front of the property one of the best in the island

Positiv:: Super schön angelegte Anlage.Ruhig und sehr familiär.

Negativ:: Gibt nichts

Positiv:: I love this property

Positiv:: Sehr schön eingerichtet, grosses Zimmer mit Balkon

Negativ:: Die Lage, wenn man kein Auto hat, muss man recht lange laufen

Positiv:: Das Frühstück war gut. Es gab eine Auswahl zwischen 5 Variationen oder man konnte es sich selbst zusammenstellen. Das Hotel ist sehr sauber, die Besitzer sehr nett, Man muß bedenken, daß sämtliche Lebensmittel importiert werden müssen.,denn auf der Insel wächst nichts Das Ortszentrum erreicht man zu Fuß in 8 - 10 Minuten. Wenn man nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit nochmals weggehen möchte, sollte man ein Auto haben oder man benötigt ein Taxi. Ich war alleinreisend , zu zweit kann man abends vielleicht eher weggehen. Das Hotel liegt an einer wenig befahrenen Straße, rechts und links sind Wohnhäuser, die bewohnt und damit beleuchtet sind. Morgens wird man auf Wunsch an den Strand gefahren , am Mombaa Beach stehen für die Gäste des Hotels Wonder kostenlose Strandliegen bereit. Handtücher für den Strand bekommt man jeden Tag frisch, es stehen auch Strandstühle bereit, aber dazu braucht man wieder ein Auto .Je nach Strand kosten Liegen u. Sonnenschirm ansonsten mehr als 50 Dollar. Es gnügt aber auch ein Handtuch im Sand und ein schattiger Divi- Baum. Die Rückfahrt ist mit dem Bus einfach .

Positiv:: Excellent staff. Nice atmosfere.

Positiv:: The atmosphere of the hotel was great! The owner was very friendly! We truly enjoyed the stay

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: The feel when you walk in. It's like an Oasis. The pool area is a dream and parking on premises perfect.

Negativ:: Bed was big, but 2 mattresses.

Positiv:: Everything else

Negativ:: Location

Positiv:: I cannot rave more about Wonders. This trip was our 11th anniversary trip and everything that could go wrong went wrong. From missed flights, to lost luggage to a lost passport. Gaston (the owner) made this trip the best vacation ever. He reassured me about transfers, kept my room spotless until we made it there, he called the airport and the transfer company tirelessly about my passport and offered us toiletries all the while saying to enjoy our vacation while he takes care of everything. He drove us to the beach and offered chairs, snorkel equipment and beach bags! He also gave perfect recommendations on where to eat. Next, breakfast was amazing. Delicious food served by the pool by the sweetest woman. Oh the pool! It was like an oasis surrounded by nature. We saw hummingbirds, butterflies, lizards, and the birds had no fear and flew right up to us. The walk to town was easy and short and I felt totally safe. All in all I highly recommend this hotel and we will be coming back yearly from now on.

Negativ:: There is nothing I didn't like! I only wish I was able to bring the kids next time but then that would ruin our perfect, romantic little spot LOL!!!!

Positiv:: Ein kleines Hotel mit grosser Ambiance. In Haus und Garten steckt viel Herzblut. Das Frühstück wird im Garten serviert, wobei aus verschiedenen Vorschlägen ausgewählt werden kann. Für die Gäste steht ein Kühlschrank mit verschiedenen Getränken zur Verfügung. Zum Zentrum sind es 10 Minuten zu Fuss.

Negativ:: nichts

Positiv:: We loved this place,Gaston & staff were wonderful.Room,garden,pool& breakfast were perfect,cannot wait to return.Alice & Jim Malonson

Positiv:: It was a beautiful space in a great location. Rooms were very clean and comfortable, nice pool area, great decor and landscaping!

Positiv:: Sehr freundliches Personal in Rezeption

Positiv:: Im Foyer gab es jeden Tag frisches Obst. Stets freundliches Personal. Mini Market und Frühstückslocation sind gleich gegenüber. Auch weitere Facilities sind fußläufig erreichbar. Nur wenige Meter zum traumhaften Strand. Für kurze Aufenthalte - auch aufgrund der Strandnähe - ist die Unterkunft definitiv zu empfehlen. Für uns war es perfekt, da wir eine moderate und strandnahe Unterkunft (eigentlich nur zum Schlafen) gewollt hatten.

Negativ:: Der Kühlschrank im Zimmer war extrem laut. Der Außenbereich ist großzügig, aber etwas lieblos gestaltet.

Positiv:: The family that owns this little hotel could not have been nicer. Juan was especially delightful. They are adding 70 more rooms to their hotel and when that happens I am sure they will be packed. Only a short walk to Eagle beach and they supple towels and chairs. Very clean.

Negativ:: Tissues in the bathroom - that’s it!

Positiv:: Great location, just a small property but they are planning on expanding. Was a nice quiet alternative to the palm beach area. Love that they have a little kitchenette which was very helpful and saved us money on food.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Exceptionally clean. Friendly and professional staff, who go out of their way to help.

Positiv:: Clean room, good rate

Negativ:: Located on side street, very few amenities on property.

Positiv:: Das Personal war super, man konnte sich Strandstühle und Handtücher ausleihen. Der Strandabschnitt des Eagle Beach ist sehr ruhig.

Negativ:: Der Kühlschrank war tatsächlich etwas laut, aber man gewöhnt sich dran

Positiv:: The hotel personel is just great! They are lovely and sooooo helpful, my staying wouldn't have been smooth and easy without them! The room is nice, they also have a little backyard with the swimming pool It's really near Eagle Beach which is a lovely giant white sand and light blue water beach They also give you a beach chair so you can be more comfortable at the beach!

Negativ:: It's a pity there is not a breakfast service, I would have bought it. In general it's not an area with a center and many restaurant, but that's obviously not on them ;-P

Positiv:: Liked the location & accommodations. People running place were great! Very friendly & pleasant.

Positiv:: Good position and very quite

Negativ:: The view

Positiv:: I loved the location, the hotel itself was clean, had everything we needed, provided us with beach chairs and beach towels whenever we needed them. The room itself had everything for us to cook great meals and save money since eating out it’s quite expensive. The pool was great but we barely spent time there because this hotel is less than a block away from the most amazing beach!!! The staff was friendly and helpful. They called taxis for us whenever we needed to go anywhere outside eagle beach! Perfect stay, perfect location, perfect beach, amazing staff and hotel! The Greek restaurant at the hotel was closed for most of our stay (it’s low season) but we heard it’s one of the best rated on the island! Can’t recommend this hotel enough! Thank you for everything!

Positiv:: Comfortable beds, kitchen with everything you need. Very friendly staff. Great location near beautiful beach and amazing sea.

Negativ:: the floor in the room could be cleaned better with wet cleaning. Supermarket is far to walk, but with taxi is expensive. (one way 9 US dollar)

Positiv:: Lage, Essen und Getränke waren großartig.

Negativ:: Das Zimmer war ein wenig alt und heruntergekommen.

Positiv:: The facilities were nice, beach front was perfect and the pools were great. Quick location to the rest of the island... shuttle between hotels was clutch as well!

Negativ:: The food was worse than typical all-inclusives and they only had one spot that was open late night, which served really lackluster pizza. Should have more options open when the buffet isn't open and available for more people - jetskiing and swimming make you very hungry! Feed me, Divi!

Positiv:: Schnorcheln war super! Liebte die Aussicht auf das Meer

Negativ:: Die Getränke waren sehr schwach Meine Frau hatte eine Lebensmittelvergiftung

Positiv:: Get a first floor room. Open your sliding door and your toes are in the sand. Drinks and food are decent. You will not go Hungry or thirsty. Lots of different options for snacks and food throughout the day. We loved taking long strolls on the beach. It's awesome that you have access to the Divi. Typical routine includes getting a drink at the bunker bar, walk down and sit by the pool to people watch, get a new drink (and maybe some chicken strips), continue the walk down the beach. Nice 10 minute walk to the divi... By that time you are ready for a new drink, grab one at the first bar. Continue the walk to the divi pool and beach area, people watch, lay in the sun, listen to a live band, grab another drink and take a stroll back to the Tam. Lots of activities. Book them early so you won't be directly in the sun. We did a snorkeling/snuba trip (booked at hotel). I would highly highly recommend. We did the ATV tours and it is by far the best way to see the island. We went to the natural pools, natural bridge, an old gold refinery, and a really neat rock formation. We went downtown. And it really only took us a few hours to get a good experience. We took a cab, which was fine... But we regret not using one of the hotels bikes to ride down. We aren't horribly athletic so we didn't want to commit to a bike ride downtown in a different country. However, we drove along a really nice, flat, bike path leading directly downtown... Wished right away we did the bikes. The Spa was awesome! We did massages and a body wrap.. So relaxed. Do not bring pants... You will not wear them. Bring some nicer shorts for dinner and you will be fine. Girls, sundresses and bathing suits... No need to get too fancy. always bring extra sunscreen, expensive to buy on the island.

Negativ:: We had to leave. Palm grill was our least favorite restaurant... But fun and worth doing once.

Positiv:: MVC bietet eine tolle und gastfreundiche Alternative zu den Arpoador Beach Resorts. Es scheint wie ein Stück Paradies.

Negativ:: Die Einrichtung im Zimmer könnten mal renoviert werden.

Positiv:: Strand direkt gegenüber, einmal über die Straße. Unbedingt, falls körperlich möglich, Zimmer im 2. Stock nehmen. Zimmer wurde jeden Tag sauber gemacht. Kostenlose Eiswürfel an der Rezeption. Parkmöglichkeiten auch reichlich vorhanden.

Negativ:: Kein Aufzug für Zimmer im 2. Stock. Diese sind nicht behindertengerecht und nur über eine enge Wendeltreppe erreichbar.

Positiv:: The facilities were very clean and the bed was super comfy. There was a fridge and a safe in the room, and soap and body lotion was also provided. The staff was very friendly and the beach is right across the street. We would highly recommend staying here :)

Negativ:: The food in the restaurant was ok, but nothing more.

Positiv:: - very comfortable room and bed - Amazing location, right in front of Eagle beach - Friendly staff

Negativ:: - Our room was right in front of the outside stair, so everyone pass in front of the room window.

Positiv:: The hotel was very quiet and the staff was super friendly. The room and hotel in general was very clean. Eagle Beach is right across the street.

Negativ:: I think the rooms could use better lighting.

Positiv:: The location is perfect either if you want to just lie down on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world or if you want travel around the island, in fact there are free parking lots behind the hotel, so no stress at all. The room is quite comfortable, with all the fundamentals services/amenities, e.g. hair dryer, fridge (a real one), ice bucket, glasses and a radio alarm clock. The shower is very spacious and equipped with high quality shower gel/shampoo/body lotion. The beach is equipped with fixed umbrella and the hotel beach boy is always very kind to help to find a free place.

Negativ:: We had the buffet breakfast of the hotel just a couple of days and that's the only point we liked less, but probably just because we like to vary the meal. The choice in the buffet is not so huge ("just" breads, ham, cheese, jam, youghurt, orange juice, coffee, millk, tea, fruit), but good. Anything else is not included and should be ordered as "buffet enhancements".

Negativ:: There was no make up mirror in our room as advertised

Positiv:: The decor was nice

Negativ:: Not worth it! We stayed in Aruba travelling from hotel to guest house for two weeks. We choose MVC Eagle for a slightly upscale hotel on the beach for a night and maybe more. BUT: - They put us in a room in front of the stairs so everyone could see into our Small Bedroom ... would not change our room - WIFI was terrible - No tea, coffee or water in our room ... so had to buy two for $7 and was horrendous! - the food was extremely over priced - the beach was across the road with no bars or places to get a drink unless you walked 20 mins. - Swimming pool was paddling pool sized - Rude & miserable staff (Chinese lady on reception) and Man in the bar area.

Positiv:: The location is perfect and really quiet at night. Loved how it’s only a walk across the street to the beach, and the restaurant was amazing as well.

Positiv:: Beautiful view. Great value. Right across street from beach access. Very homey and convenient refillable water jug in room mini fridge to keep your thirst quenched. Cheap continental breakfast at $9.50. Ample free parking in back. Friendly staff. Sparkly clean shower, sink, and toilet- appears recently renovated or installed, or just well kept! On possibly the islands' best beach- Eagle beach, and, not over populated like high rise area. Beautiful outdoor seating areas- lots. Didnt take advantage of their small pool due to time but looked very clean. It was our honeymoon and they gave us complimentary wine delivered with fresh cut flowers from their gardens.

Negativ:: Room cleaning service charge additional to room rate- this should be all together. All the levy, taxes, etc; are enough, it makes it seem excessively gutted for pricing breakdown. I'd rather have all the room type pricing process be just room rate, classier this way. No fan in bathroom for showering, but not the end of the world. Little molded spots on clothes line dryer so maybe should replace these when they start to show age? Continental breakfast could be a bit more for selection, such as scrambled eggs and sausage or potatoes o'brien and could charge a few dollars more, but was filling nonetheless. Bit of confusion about lawn chairs across the street at the resort area beachfront, theirs are free to use for guests but they appear locked, so we didn't know how to get, but saw others taking them out- I guess its just a dummy lock? People were leaving so just took theirs instead. Could use more direction on this at check-in. Nearby beach chair vendors trying to rent us theirs, was kind of annoying.

Positiv:: Staff were amazing; so nice, friendly and helpful! We felt very welcome during our entire stay. The location was perfect; right off the beach. The rooms are basic but we were barely in ours so were great for us. Bed was comfortable. Would recommend for anyone looking for a small boutique hotel right next to the beach. Would definitely go back!

Positiv:: Direkt am Eagle Beach (nur über die Straße gehen). Hoteleigenes Restaurant gut. Frühstück als Buffet preiswert und gut. Zimmer wunderbar im amerikanischen Motel Stil. Einige hauseigene Liegen und Handtücher am Strand kostenlos. Alles in allem ein klasse Aufenthalt.

Positiv:: Staff attention.

Positiv:: Everything was super clean, the staff was very helpful and extremely friendly. Breakfast which was served on the balcony was delicious as well. The hotel is located at the beach and in walking distance to the center of Oranjestad.

Negativ:: The hotel is located at the beach however a more convenient access with beach chairs would make the hotel even better. The hotel has no pool either with would also make the apt even better.

Positiv:: The sea view. It´s spatious. Breakfast and late beer on the terrace is a pleasure. We loved the privacy, and the fact that the staff is quite missing. If you want to feel "attended", don´t go there. If you dont want to be bothered or having to engage in conversations, (what we like), its simply perfect!

Negativ:: the bedroom doesn´t have sea view, a real pitty. Shower has very little water...more than once, there wasen´t enough water for the second one taking a shower. Breakfast is perhaps below OK... you simply get what they decided for that day.

Positiv:: Quite, clean and staff very attentive.

Positiv:: The location is perfect (only 7 min from the airport). It is very convenient to downtown, also 10-15 min drive to the north coast to see California Lighthouse, Eagle Beach, Palm Beach, Arashi Beach, and snorkeling at Boca Catalina. 30 min drive to Boca Prins Bay (east) and 30 min drive to Baby Beach (south). Plenty of parking at this location plus private beach. The staff is super friendly and kind, especially Martha (she cleans our room and prepare our breakfast every morning). Breakfast is better than most continental breakfast and it's different each day. The room is big, clean & quiet, the ocean view on the balcony is gorgeous, and the bed is super comfortable. Services is first class and they even allow early check in and late check out. It is a beautiful property...we loved it!

Positiv:: Great location! Ocean view room, and breakfast on the patio was awesome! I could walk a little ways down the road and be at some cool restaurants and the mall. Food stands/bars available right next to the hotel.

Negativ:: I would suggest adding actual coffee to the rooms instead of instant coffee. But this was a great location for me to come and relax

Positiv:: Very clean and comfortable. Has a private beach that’s overall quiet. This location is not for anyone looking to party. There is also no pool. Its only a 10 minute walk to the downtown area. Breakfast every morning. Beautiful views.

Negativ:: Lighting in the room could be better but nothing too major.

Positiv:: Good position right on the beach with great view

Negativ:: All good

Positiv:: Wir hatten ein Superior Zimmer mit tollem Meerblick und feinem Frühstück auf der Terrasse. Alles war sehr sauber, das Zimmer riesig und das Personal sehr freundlich. In die Stadt geht man 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Direkt in der Nähe hat es mehrere Bars und Restaurants. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wer die Bettenburgen bei Palm Beach allerdings mag, wäre hier falsch. Hier ist es zum Glück ruhiger und ursprünglicher. Toll wars.

Positiv:: Die Lage des Surfside Marina war für uns Ideal. Direkt vor der Haustür ist Surfside Beach, was wunderschöne Ausblicke vom Balkon ermöglicht. Fußläufig ist alles gut erreichbar und dennoch gibt es keinen Hauptstadttrouble. Den Flughafen in 3 km Nähe empfanden wir als nicht störend. Klar hört man es, wenn eine Maschine startet oder landet - aber es ist nicht sehr laut (und wir fanden es eher spannend, die Flieger ankommen zu sehen). Sehr gutes kostenloses W-LAN für Besucher. Sehr saubere Zimmer und jeden Tag ein frisches und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück. Die Betten waren wunderbar bequem und ermöglichten einen guten Schlaf. Wir haben uns hier mehr als wohl gefühlt und können das Surfside Marina mehr als empfehlen.

Positiv:: Schöne Lage, direkt am Strand. Gutes Frühstück. Nettes, hilfsbereites Personal:)

Positiv:: The continental breakfast was delivered to your room every morning at the time requested. It was different every day and it was great!!

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Breakfast daily on my balcony, beach steps from my door, very safe, walking distance to a lot. Very clean, no bugs.

Negativ:: I wish the rooms were switched. Bed to overlook the ocean in the same room with the closet. TV with sitting area by the front door.

Positiv:: Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Wir bekamen ein kostenloses Upgrade alles in allem war es eine großartige Erfahrung!! Sehr empfehlenswert!!

Negativ:: N/A

Positiv:: Es gab nichts, was mir überhaupt nicht gefallen hat! Ich liebe, liebe, liebe die private Insel! !! Sehr modernes Hotel. Liebe es! !!

Negativ:: Nichts

Positiv:: Das Personal macht sich auf den Weg, um Sie willkommen zu fühlen und sich um Ihre Bedürfnisse zu kümmern.

Positiv:: Das Personal war freundlich und erinnerte sich an uns während unseres Aufenthalts. Das Zimmer war komfortabel und gut ausgestattet. Es gab viele Aktivitäten in der Anlage, die uns beschäftigt hielten, und die private Insel war wunderschön. Wir genossen eine Paarmassage und ein Abendessen für zwei Pakete, was ausgezeichnet war.

Negativ:: Die Lage war direkt an einem Einkaufszentrum und an der plaza mit viel zu tun, aber es war weit entfernt vom Haupthotelviertel, in dem das Nachtleben und viele unserer Freunde waren. Taxifahrten, um unsere Freunde zu treffen oder zu gehen, begannen sich über unseren Aufenthalt zu addieren.

Positiv:: The beds are so comfortable, the staff was nice and accommodating. Love the pool and the bar food was really good also. House keeping was really good about keeping fresh towels in the room also. The location is probably the best part lots of food and shopping. And plenty of beaches.

Negativ:: The shower was a little small but not a really big real. Water stayed hot

Positiv:: Atmosphere was perfect. The food variety was great. Overall everything was really good.

Negativ:: N/A

Positiv:: Private Island ist fantastisch- Strand, Flamingos und Personal - einfach top! Restaurants sehr gut ( Steakhouse & Beachbar auf der Insel)

Positiv:: I’ll start with the private island, as this is the reason you’re coming here. It’s worth it. More than worth it. This is how i imagine paradise looks like. The flamingos are unique and a joy to watch, both beaches (Flamingo and Iguana) are pristine, the sand is silky, and while basically the entire hotel wants to come here it doesn’t feel crowded. You don’t know what you’re missing until you experience it, honestly. Now, you can probably tell I’d stay in a hole in the ground if it meant I had access to the island, but the hotel itself is anything but. Rooms? Check. Big, really upmarket feel to them, ridiculously comfortable beds. Service? Check. Quick and and efficient, and the staff is really accommodating too - they helped celebrate my wife’s birthday at a moment’s notice! Location? Check. In the middle of Oranjestad, everything, bars, shops, restaurants, banks were within short walking distance (keep in mind though that Oranjestad itself is far from the rest of the island and the other beaches). Food? Check. The breakfast is the best I’ve had in any hotel - highly recommend to include it. I didn’t try dinner, but if it’s anything like breakfast...ooooh mama! And keep in mind we didn’t even have time to use a lot of the hotel’s facilities....pool, pool bar, shops, etc. In short: access to paradise, perfect hotel. If I don’t rate this a solid 10 I don’t know what I will.

Negativ:: N O T H I N G

Positiv:: The hotel is beautiful. We arrived late due to our flight being delayed and we were a little stressed out, and then we met Janice, the receptionist. She’s lighten our mood straight away. And to our surprise she send a bottle of champagne and some chocolate strawberries to our room the next day! As a little thank you for choosing them for our honeymoon and welcome to the hotel. The island makes it worth. The boat picks u up from the lobby- is lush!! Overall amazing stay!!!

Negativ:: They took a deposit- it’s taking a month for them to return it.... they say they’ve done it already but our bank tells us it’s still being held. Not convenient.

Positiv:: The private island was nice

Negativ:: I was charged 41.00 more after I left the resort have not received a response. I guess 470.00 a nite was not enough.

Positiv:: - Efficient service with boat to go to Flamingo Island - Good breakfast with good selections

Negativ:: - Room window had the view on the reception and lobby, so everybody can see you in the room - Not all the staff were friendly - Check in strict at 4 pm - they didn’t make the room properly, just set the bed and a very quick clean - Too high price for this kind of room and service

Positiv:: Very good location nearby many amenities bars and restaurants, friendly members of staff, comfortable bed and something you get with your stay is access to private flamingo island.

Negativ:: A bit pricey considering breakfast was not included in our rate, with the price paid in any other hotel at least breakfast would be included.

Positiv:: This was our honeymoon and it was completely wonderful! Thank you!!!

Negativ:: Nothing, everything was wonderful!!

Positiv:: Das Hotel liegt super zentral in der Hauptstadt und ist somit gut vom Flughafen aus erreichbar. Wir hatten einen Mietwagen, der kostenlos auf einem etwa 5 Minuten entfernten Parkplatz abgestellt werden konnte. Das Hotel ist schön und war auch sauber. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Wir hatten zunächst ein Zimmer bei dem die WC-Tür fehlte. Nach Besuch der Rezeption wurde uns umgehend ein neues Zimmer angeboten. Die Aufmachung des Hotels integriert in die Shoppingmeile hat mir persönlich gefallen.

Negativ:: Das Hotel hat für mich persönlich kein "Strandurlaubfeeling". Auch der Pool mit überschaubar wenig Liegeplätzen verbreitet kein Gefühl von Sommerurlaub. Die Flamingo Insel war der Grund für die Buchung des Hotels und eigentlich auch für die Reise nach Aruba bzw. der Auslöser für den Wunsch Aruba besuchen zu wollen und doch war es am Ende die größte, aber auch einzige Enttäuschung unseres Urlaubes. Die Insel an sich ist wunderschön und liebevoll angelegt. Die beiden Strände können aber einfach nicht mir den wunderschönen öffentlichen Stränden der Insel mithalten. Zudem ist es sehr laut, da der Flughafen nicht weit weg ist und man doch teilweise das Gefühl hat man würde direkt auf der Startbahn liegen. Die Flamingos am Strand zu sehen ist schon ein tolles Erlebnis! Aber am Ende haben die Tiere mir leid getan... Sie werden permanent von fotowütigen Touristen umringt und teilweise bedrängt. Auch wir haben natürlich Bilder mit den Flamingos gemacht - das ist ja auch eine einmalige Gelegenheit solche Bilder in so einer Kulisse machen zu können, aber ich denke trotzdem, dass man den Tieren mit ein wenig Respekt und Abstand begegnen sollte. Da waren so viele Menschen an dem Strand und bei den Flamingos und ich habe kein Personal gesehen, was vielleicht mal eine Ansage hätte machen können geschweige denn eingreifen hätte können (Abgesehen vom Barpersonal natürlich). Entspannt kann man an diesem Strand seinen Tag nicht verbringen, da empfehle ich lieber an den zweiten Strand zu gehen und den Flamingos dann einen Besuch abzustatten. So haben wir es dann auch gemacht. Da ich das Hotel nur für die Flamingoinsel gebucht hatte, war das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis somit hin. Ich würde es mit diesem Kenntnisstand nicht wieder buchen!

Positiv:: Der Private Strand Mega !!

Negativ:: Die Zimmer leider etwas veraltet .

Positiv:: Clean

Negativ:: Terrible location - no beach!!!!

Positiv:: Wonderful cozy and quaint hostel! Exactly what I wanted for a peaceful getaway in paradise. They make you feel like part of the family. If you are looking for a loud party hostel with nightlife right around the corner this is not it. It's peaceful, chill, very safe, and close to everything you need.

Positiv:: Hostel staff is A+, felt more like a guesthouse.. very welcoming! Location is actually very good walking distance to most, if your not an avid backpacker you may get lost finding the property on the 1st day but once checked in the staff helps pointout everything nearby. Biggest landmark one block away is the Burger King along main street. AC in the room worked great, kitchen and bathroom clean. Pillow was good, bed itself is adequate for a hostel. Plug for phone charging and locker all provided, only upgrade they may need to make is to add some sort of nightlight next to the bed, or near the door to see where you are walking if have to use restroom during the night. Highly recommend bc of the incredibly friendly staff, value, cleanliness and proximity to everything in orangestaad. Bus stations not too far away either.

Positiv:: Hosts were very friendly and nice! They made me feel like home! Hostel has a great location, walking distance to everything and room and bathroom were very clean.

Negativ:: It's a little small.

Positiv:: The hosts were great and really accommodating! It’s very close to the beach and plenty of local cuisine around, which is a nice departure from the food around the hotel areas. They also offer a lot of tips for where to eat and how to use public transport. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Positiv:: Very cozy and just like home feeling. :)

Negativ:: N/A

Positiv:: Host are super nice and helpful!!! They show you around the town, advice you where to eat... It's in the city center which is really convenient For 15 dollars they offer a pick up service from the airport, You can hang out the swimsuits outside which is very convenient

Negativ:: From booking site I honestly didn't understand that there was a shared and not private bathroom The shower is a one-temperature one you can't have it hot or cold. It's quite warm, which is ok, but I'd rather have a hot shower.

Positiv:: Sehr freundliche Besitzer und sehr guter Service

Negativ:: das Zimmer ist etwas klein für vier Personen mit jeweils Gepäck, so dass es sehr eng werden kann, aber da man eh die meiste Zeit draußen ist, ist das kein Problem.

Positiv:: It was very convenient for me

Positiv:: Infos vom Hostelbetreiber und eine kurze Führung am Anfang, da es keinen Stadtplan von Oranjestad gibt.

Negativ:: Unbequeme Betten + sehr instabil (bei jeder Bewegung wachen alle auf), ein Bad und ein Kühlschrank für alle (inkl. den Hosteleigentümern, die mit im Hostel wohnen), kalte Dusche, keine Möglichkeit Handtücher zu leihen, Zweifel an der Sauberkeit.

Positiv:: The host was very accommodating. He picked us up from the airport and provided us rides when we needed them. He also showed us around area as well as told us how to get around via public transportation 9

Positiv:: The owners are very helpful and hospitable people, but I would call this more of a homestay than a hostel. It’s got everything you need, it’s just quite small and you don’t really meet many other travelers because there’s one dorm room with 4 beds. I probably wouldn’t stay again because Couchsurfing and Airbnb offers more comfortable options.

Negativ:: It’s expensive for what you get. It was the most money I spent on lodging in Aruba for the entire month I was here.

Positiv:: Everything

Negativ:: -----------

Positiv:: Wir kannten das Gelände und die Umgebung. Der Pool war schön, aber jeden Tag schmutzig von den vom Wind verwehten Bäumen.

Negativ:: Unser Zimmer war im Erdgeschoss, viele Wanzen. Wir baten darum, die Zimmer zu wechseln. Sagte, dass es keine gäbe, also gaben sie uns Bug-Spray. Unsere Vordertür hat zweimal nicht mehr funktioniert. An der Rezeption gab es nichts für unsere Probleme. Am letzten Tag kamen wir in ein anderes Zimmer und man sagte uns, dass wir um 12:45 Uhr dort sein sollten. Das Zimmer war nicht fertig, sehr frustrierend.

Positiv:: Mir fällt nichts an, was mir nicht gefiel

Positiv:: The location, ability to shuttle ride to other properties, proximity to beach, food options, golf course views, peace and quite, perfect pool situation for our young daughter, with a slide!

Negativ:: Overall very enjoyable and relaxing experience.

Positiv:: Good location, close to the tram stop. Big pools, close to the beach. Loved having a kitchen in the suite.

Negativ:: So many bugs and mosquitoes right outside our suite door. They kept sneaking into the room.

Positiv:: It exceeded our expectations. Full size fridge. Quiet location yet everything close by.

Negativ:: No

Positiv:: Beautiful, clean grounds and wonderful resort within easy walking distance to sister resorts and beach.

Negativ:: Room we were in needed some updating; painting worn areas, fixing some rusted and stained appliances.

Positiv:: Convenience of location and hotel amenities.

Negativ:: The golf course was under construction and you cannot see the water from this hotel

Positiv:: easy walk to pool & beach

Negativ:: Dated and damaged furniture, dead fly on ceiling, No sun comes into room, chairs around pool are hard to get and most chairs were damaged, Man had heart attack NO IED available (He died at pool) Staff had no idea of what to do in an emergency.

Positiv:: Rooms where clean and comfortable

Negativ:: Poor communication for the front counter staff about the amenities offered

Positiv:: Location, amenities, cleanliness,friendliness of staff, tram service.

Positiv:: Great beach across the street lots of sand space and always a palapas available. The 3 pool areas were also very nice. We had a great pool view too. Rain shower was nice.

Negativ:: The room was a bit dirty we saw ants all the time too. You can see water damage on the bathroom vanity bottom outside near toilet. There was a musty smell when we first walked in the room that did eventually go away. Toilet was too small too.

Positiv:: So close to the beach and wonderful pools

Negativ:: Not a thing

Positiv:: The rooms were huge and we were given a complimentary upgrade

Negativ:: It's very large and across the street from the beach

Positiv:: The staff who drove trolley Also the pool and activities were great

Negativ:: It could use some updating of rooms esp. tub and bathroom

Positiv:: The location was very good

Negativ:: Would liked to have had a table in the room

Positiv:: Sehr schöne Zimmer, nette Ausenanlage. Zum Eagle Neach und den Supermarkt kann man zu Fuß gehen, für alles andere ist ein Mietwagen praktisch.

Negativ:: Der Spiegel war bei der Ankunft schmutzig und wurde bis zur Abreise nicht gereinigt. Die Unterkunft würde ich trotzdem weiterempfehlen!

Positiv:: Quiet, close to supermarket nice pool area and good choice for breakfast

Positiv:: I liked the size, your library, lack of wind inside your courtyard and your loungers. The service was great and it was very quiet which we loved.

Negativ:: The bedding was in need of replacing, it had holes and rips and I would have loved a hairdryer. I thought the fact you had chairs for the beach was great but expensive, it would have been cheaper to buy our own, they should be free.

Positiv:: Staff was extremely friendly and courteous.

Negativ:: The bed was extremely uncomfortable, for someone who does not like a very firm mattress.

Positiv:: self catering

Negativ:: no complaints

Positiv:: Ingrid was super kind and accommodating. Even if I arrived too early, she went out of her way to make me comfortable.

Positiv:: The hosts were very welcoming and always asked if there was anything they could do for me. They even got up at 4am to give me a lift to the airport for only a few dollars. Really nice people

Negativ:: It was fine as it was .I really cant say anything bad

Positiv:: The location is great, close to Orangestad's downtown area, within walking distance to it. The couple there really looked after me and provided me with ice the first day I arrived. The pool looked inviting but I unfortunately didn't get to try it since I was busy beach hopping and sight seeing all of Aruba but it's a nice touch. The couple even offered rides with their vehicle but I already had rented from Avis.

Negativ:: The huge mirror in the room gave me the creeps a little, felt watched, but that's my paranoia, lol. The bathroom was very tight and tiny but the water came out amazingly warm and refreshing. Really liked everything about this place, well worth staying here.

Positiv:: A cool place to stay in a real Aruban neighborhood in the city of Oranjestad. They upgraded me for free to a full apartment and I even had the giant balcony all to myself during my stay. The family is very nice, friendly and accommodating. They also offer a taxi service which is cheaper than all the regular taxis in town to and from the airport.

Positiv:: Nice accommodations and super-friendly and helpful. I enjoyed staying in a “real” neighbourhood and there were supermarkets and food options nearby. It was an easy walk to Oranjestad, with shopping and good restaurants. There were no problems getting buses to the beaches and other parts of the island. The family running the place is great!

Negativ:: I had a good stay, but some might not like the absence of a 24-hour front desk.

Positiv:: Flughafentransfer organisiert, hat alles tiptop geklappt. Ist sogar noch günstiger als wenn man ein Taxi am Flughafen nimmt. Besitzer superfreundlich, WLAN funktioniert prima.

Negativ:: Die Unterkunft/Zimmer sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen (Teppichboden, Küche, Bad) und würden eine Rundumerneuerung durchaus vertragen. Leicht unangenehmer Geruch im Zimmer, nehme an von der Küche herrührend. Zusätzliche Info: verfügt nur über kaltes Wasser (in Aruba nicht zwingend störend, bloss zur Info für Leute, denen das wichtig ist)

Positiv:: Stan and Inga were absolutely wonderful hosts! Our flight from Miami was 2 hours late but they were waiting for us in the arrivals hall with our ride. They also kindly sent up some tea and biscuits to our room despite the late hour. The roo.was immaculate and comfortable, lovely porch and in a quiet neighborhood. Awoke to a crowing rooster!

Negativ:: The one bed was a little lumpy but problem solved by laying ac4oss the bed! No other problems!

Positiv:: The A1 Apartments were a great value and a very comfortable experience. A family run facility, the apartment had everything that we needed for a relaxing time in Aruba. Simple accommodation with a lovely small pool (with a waterfall!) and bbq facilities available, main bus terminal not far which allowed easy access to Eagle Beach and beyond. Airport pickup service was very efficient and good value. Grocery store 3 blocks, restaurants a bit further. Wonderful to be in a residential area with roosters crowing in the morning. The Kemp family provides a warm and welcoming environment for their guests!

Negativ:: Our experience at A1 Apartments was a good one, and there is nothing that could be termed 'bad'. It is not a place for those demanding a luxury establishment, but rather a simple accommodation for those looking to see/understand the 'real' Aruba.

Positiv:: Samuel and his family is really great, they welcome as a friend and you leave the place feeling like one.

Positiv:: Owners were fantastic, room and grounds were very clean. Have stayed there for 4 years, not one complaint. nice little place without the big price tag.

Positiv:: Location and owners. Services by staff. Pool and outside area.

Negativ:: Loved everything.

Positiv:: The staffs are nice

Negativ:: you get what u paid for. The property is small and it's not what they described online. There was a smell in the bathroom from the sewage. They said we will have out own porch but it's not. The bed is so uncomfortable. I wont stay there anymore. It's my first time in Aruba, didnt know anything.

Positiv:: Saubers Zimmer und Anlage, freundliche Gastgeber, leckeres und sättigendes Frühstück (auf Abruf), nette Gäste, keine leeren Versprechen, tolle Tipps vom Gastgeber, sauberer schöner Pool, gutes WLAN!, Ambiente und Umgebung sind gepflegt und nett dekoriert!

Positiv:: Die Familie war nett und hilfsbereit. Das Ein-Zimmer-Apartment mit kleiner Küche ist groß genug zwei Personen. Wir konnten unsere Kleidung aufhängen oder in eine Kommode einsortieren. Auch im Bad gab es genug Ablagefläche. Das Bett war sehr bequem. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte einwandfrei.

Negativ:: Am meisten gestört hat mich, dass zum Preis, der uns auf booking.com angezeigt wurde, zusätzlich noch 80% Servicegebühren kamen. Somit wurde die Unterkunft zunächst mit 180 USD ausgezeichnet, Endpreis waren aber über 400 USD. Die Leistung der Reinigungskraft ließ über die Zeit der Anwesenheit nach. Die Küche ist sparsam ausgestattet. Ein Topf, eine Pfanne, zwei Messer, zwei Gabeln, zwei Becher... ein scharfes Messer, um z.B. Gemüse zu schneiden gab es nicht. Das Badezimmer war geräumig, jedoch war warm duschen nur selten möglich (bei 30 Grad Außentemperatur weniger schlimm trotzdem möchte ich es anmerken). Die Lage der Unterkunft eignet sich nur, wenn man ein Auto hat oder Lust eine halbe Stunde zum Strand/zur Bushaltestelle zu laufen. Uns hat das nichts ausgemacht, aber die Strecke zieht sich. Die Gastgeber fordern 20 USD für eine Fahrt zum 6,5 km entfernten Flughafen. Ein öffentliches Taxi kostet 23 USD.

Positiv:: Ganz besonders gut gefallen hat uns die grandiose Betreuung beim Frühstück, die täglich wechselnden Säfte und die Liebe bei der Zubereitung der Mahlzeit. Wir haben jeden Morgen mehr als ausreichend frühstücken können und immer im Kopf, dass man abnehmen ja zu Hause kann.

Negativ:: Das einzige, was uns wirklich gestört hat, war, das die Wege doch ziemlich weit sind, ein Auto ist da dringend zu empfehlen.

Positiv:: Everything

Positiv:: sehr freundliche besitzer. man fühlt sich sehr willkommen. der pool und die anlage sind sehr schön und gepflegt. wir kommen wieder!

Negativ:: wenig küchenutensilien z.b. schneidbrett fehlt.

Positiv:: Excellent staff perfect pool hammocks comfortable bed air conditioning private parking space, secure location close to everything but far enough away so as not to feel touristy

Negativ:: No hot water as typical on the island

Positiv:: Very nice people, the breakfast was yummy and the place was quiet and cozy.

Negativ:: Just read the fine print so you’re not surprised that the price doubles.

Positiv:: The room and swimming pool

Negativ:: Cleaning and location

Positiv:: Not value for money

Negativ:: Dated facilities

Positiv:: Spacious and clean

Negativ:: Cool place near downtown

Positiv:: The room is clean .The owner was very helpfull ,because my flight had a delay and the owner had no problem with that and picked me up at the airport.

Negativ:: No complain it was what i had aspected.

Positiv:: good location

Positiv:: I loved everything about my stay at the Rutena suites. The location was great, walking distance to almost every thing. Staff was excellent and the suite where we stayed was definitely worth the price. Planning another trip soon.

Positiv:: Spacious & clean, everything you need is in the apartment, location is perfect for staying in Aruba, close to most facilities. Jean has performed well above & beyond duty, thank you so much for all your help & informations, even drove me to airline purchase ticket to Curaçao, definitely will recommend to friends & other travelers.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Everything was good! The staff, Sean, was so accommodative and gave us some tips for our trip! He texted me about 2 weeks prior to the trip and greeted us when we reached the hotel. On our last day, we left something in the wardrobe and he rushed to the airport with the item to returned it back to us!

Negativ:: It would be nice if they could provide complimentary coffee and tea sachets.

Positiv:: The staff was great, Jan took care of anything we needed. The price was reasonable and close to everything. Loved the little tram that went up and down. Close to restaurants and great food

Positiv:: Very good location! The apartment was clean and comfortable. Pharmacy, 24/7 foodstop, restaurants and bus stop streetcar are a few steps away. Love the view of the streetcar passing by every 20 minutes. Jean was so friendly and very helpful. We will be back again!

Positiv:: Zentrale, ruhige Lage, mehrere preisgünstige Restaurants bzw. Grills (= 15 $ pro Mahlzeit in der Nähe), bestes Frühstück bei Burger King für ca. 8 €, Tram hält vor dem App., Turbo-Kühl- und Eisschrank. Tolles Restaurant am Strand: West-Deck - zum Sonnenuntergang reservieren. Unübertroffen gut: Baby-Grill: leckere Ribs und anderes Grillfleisch - erstmal mit "Small-Portion" beginnen für ca. 12 € incl. Beilagen.

Negativ:: Vorgegeben 5* - aber 2 Wochen kein Zimmerservice bzw. zubuchbar für 15$ pro Tag, Zugang über eine steile Treppe mit ca. 30 Stufen - daher nicht geeignet für Gehbehinderte. Nicht zu empfehlen: Dutch Pancakehouse - eindeutig nicht frisch gekocht.

Positiv:: Die persönliche Betreuung von Jean bei An- und Abreise. Das Appartment ist sauber, ganz gut ausgestattet und voll klimatisiert.

Negativ:: Bei Anreise standen wir zunächst am Abend vor verschlossenen Türen, mussten erst eine locale Telefonnummer anrufen, um die Schlüssel zu erhalten.

Positiv:: Das Personal war großartig. Eagle Beach läßt sich zu Fuß erreichen. Ein paar gute Restaurants in der Nähe.

Negativ:: Zu weit weg von den dichter besiedelten Gebieten. Das Hotel ist am besten für eine Familie geeignet.

Positiv:: Nichts!

Negativ:: Kein Wifi! Zu laut! Billig! Will eine Kaution von $300!

Positiv:: der Service, freundlich

Positiv:: Lage

Negativ:: Benötigt eine Renovierung

Positiv:: Das Personal ist freundlich. Kann auch zu Fuß zum Supermarkt

Negativ:: in den letzten Jahren hat nicht aktualisiert worden. um zum Hotel zu kommen, muss man über befahrene Straße zum besch

Positiv:: Größe der Zimmer - groß, mit Küche und Wohnzimmer

Negativ:: Muss modernisiert werden - mehr Restaurants

Positiv:: Our 1BR king room was big, the balcony was awesome, and the staff was always courteous. Our friends stayed at the very nearby property and we much preferred our room and layout even though it wasn’t oceanfront like theirs. The walk to the beach is a short one. I loved having a mini kitchen but would have preferred the convection microwave that our friend’s room had. We instead had a microwave and small toaster oven...only a small detail in the grand scheme. The HUGE supermarket is right across the street and the kitchen provides any cooking utensil you need. The Eagle’s pools and facilities are better suited for families compared to the nearby property which was more bustling and had better entertainment. That pool seemed more fun but we technically weren’t allowed to use it because we didn’t have a wrist band. We, and all our friends, loved that our room key was a waterproof electronic silicone wristband. Awesome idea! Since we traveled with people who had been to Aruba several times we didn’t need to use the concierge and did not eat at any of the restaurants on the property but they were very convenient. We did get coffee at Dunkin Donuts which is awesome to have right downstairs. Overall I don’t have much to complain about. When I was price searching it seemed like Eagle was a great value and I’d recommend it to anyone who, like me and my husband, don’t need to stay in the fanciest of resorts. I’d absolutely stay there again.

Negativ:: There were some wooden blinds in the living room that could not be adjusted and were fixed open allowing full view from the rooms across from us. The info about the restaurants, spa, and fitness room were brief and not easy to find. For example I read one of the restaurants offered room service but I never saw a menu. The wireless internet did go out one morning so weren’t able to text our friends at the other property but it wasn’t that big of a deal.

Positiv:: It was very close to everywhere i wanted to go. The staff was very helpful. I got such a nice clean room. I will defintely come back.

Negativ:: I loved everything.

Positiv:: We appreciated the service the staff provided.

Negativ:: The wifi was missing a few days.

Positiv:: The resort was great! The updates to the rooms were beautiful and exceeded our expectations. I will be staying here when we return!

Positiv:: The pools were nice

Negativ:: The rooms smelled and the windows were old and couldn’t see out

Negativ:: The staff constantly trying to make me attend a presentation for their timeshare. Every time I came In or out or walked around the property.

Positiv:: Great updated room. Nice pools.

Negativ:: Very loud music Upon check in. Thankfully it didn't last very late.

Positiv:: Location is good

Negativ:: It was ok need to update roomsl

Positiv:: Absolutely amazing value for money. The room we stayed in was a recently renovated suite, and it came at a price that usually gets you a standard room in a hotel. Excellent location, a short two minute walk to get to the amazing Eagle Beach. There are a couple of restaurants right in the vicinity, not you need them, because there are two restaurants inside the hotel itself, and both are good. We ate breakfast at the buffet and it was definitely worth it. Should you want to cook for yourself, there is a giant supermarket just outside too. There is a lazy happy atmosphere in the air which sets the mood perfectly for your stay in this happy island. The iguanas basking in the sun all day long also help ! (I had read some negative comments about the iguanas, but they really won’t bother you, they just go about their business. I liked them)

Negativ:: The hotel could be perfect, but unfortunately it does have some glaring flaws. I could even see rating it lower, but I was so impressed with the location and quality of the room that I couldn’t bring myself to do it. To start with, they make you leave an extra 200 dollars upon check in as a deposit for “safety reasons”. Really shady, especially as it’s not made clear upon reservation that you will need to do this. The staff are polite, but pushy - in a polite sort of way. They will stop you whenever you pass the front desk, to offer “information” which almost always includes some sort of excursion package or late night event, always at a price. Also, they called us three times at 9.00 am for some sort of briefing - absolutely unacceptable and I have not seen this in any hotel. Oh and they won’t give you an adaptor, you can only purchase one - so if you come from outside the US, come prepared or be ready to $$. I should also note that the hotel is not beachside per se. There is another hotel just in front of it. So you won’t be in front of the beach. It doesn’t matter much, because you only need two minutes to walk there anyway, but Aruba is full of hotels that lie directly on the beach, so if you come expecting this you might be a bit disappointed. You do get the advantage of a relatively better price due to the lack of sea view though. Finally, while the breakfast and dinner are ok, you can only choose from limited options, which are the same every day. I don’t particularly mind that, but I can see it getting tiring over a longer stay.

Positiv:: The staff was goofy

Negativ:: Was faraway from the beach and was a long walk.

Positiv:: Das Frühstück beim Italiener war gut. Es gab an 3 Plätzen die Möglichkeit zu grillen. Der Strand war sehr schön.

Negativ:: Die Baustelle im Hauptgebäude war sehr laut was gleich bei Ankunft mit einem 10 Dollar Gutschein fürs Casino “gut gemacht“ wurde. Das Frühstücksbuffet im Casino war eine Katastrophe. Das belegen der Liegen am Strand mit Handtüchern und Taschen war überaus nervig. Da die Jungs am Strand bestechlich sind, wird auch nichts dagegen unternommen.

Positiv:: Did like the cleaning lady very nice friendly pleasant & good at her job! Never any trouble to accommodate us.

Negativ:: Every single time we tried to get fresh towels we were greeted w/ a frown. & then when we tried to schedule the grill for cooking get a cocky answer, we were always told 7:00! But there we people who cooked for 2hrs & made trays of food for multiple families that probably weren't even staying there? Not a nice lady I think she either doesn't like her job? OR was racist towards us bc we were who we are...…?????? Was all friendly with other guests, what her problem was I do not know? But we took turns going up to her bc she was not a happy person at all! We were hoping for a pleasant relaxing Anniversary week, there were a thousand kids running everywhere in & out of the pool screaming & no parents in sight? They took over the entire resort, no adult swim time at all? & they left litter everywhere. People screaming constantly??? Why? No school, what was all that about?

Positiv:: The place was very clean, I loved it!

Positiv:: Dowstairs sitting room ok but near main road so cannot open door.

Negativ:: Male toilet upstairs is broken, shower curtain is old,dirty, blind very old dirty, toilet tissue u keep in a bucket after use , very unhealthy near kitchen. I moved in a airbnb near stadium which is very clean hygenic. Full of lots of extra people from Venezuela, may be friends of staff girls. But they are good people.

Positiv:: Excellent location, ten minutes' walk from city centre, 45 walk from airport. Cheap, but you get what you pay for - twin room was equipped with a bunk bed. There is, however, a full size kitchen available for house guests (microvawe broken, though)

Negativ:: No shelf or cupboard in the room - no problem for solo traveller in a twin room, but possible challenge for a couple. Bathroom floor cloth seemed unchanged after previous guest.

Positiv:: I did like the location, it is close to everything and the room is clean and the ac is excellent, when you finally see the staffs , they were very informative and courteous.

Negativ:: Overall it is great, but bed it's so hard and there's no staff there, you are pretty much on your own, when you got there, I was looking everywhere for someone to give us keys finally, I went upstairs and knocked on doors before someone came out., they need to fix the stove only one eye work, they need new microwave and clean bottom of pool

Positiv:: The place way beautiful and I felt comfortable.

Negativ:: I didn't like how I wasn't able to get staff via phone when I needed them.

Positiv:: Für diesen Preis ist die Unterkunft absolut zu empfehlen. Wir waren im Nebengebäude untergebracht, wo es eine sehr saubere Küche, einen Fernseher, eine Couch und 3 oder 4 Zimmer gab. Wir waren allerdings alleine mit einer spanischen Frau, die dort wohl dauerhaft wohnt. Die Zimmer waren liebevoll eingerichtet und auch das Badezimmer war sehr sauber!

Negativ:: Die Gegend ringsherum schien uns nicht sehr sicher. Vom gegenüberliegenden Restaurant wurden alle Gäste mit dem Taxi heimgebracht (wir können uns denken warum :) )

Positiv:: Anlage ist sauber. Betten waren bequem. Die Lage ist gut! Schöner Outdoor Bereich.

Negativ:: Es gibt keine Rezeption, weder für check-in noch Abreise, was Organisation teilweise erschwert hat. Kommunikation auch schwierig.

Positiv:: Einfach eingerichtetes und sauberes Zimmer. Die Zimmer waren geräumig.

Negativ:: Laute Geräusche, keine Verpflegung oder Frühstück in der Unterkunft, später Check-in. Es gibt einen Flughafen in der Nähe, der total laut ist. Keine Privatsphäre

Negativ:: Lobby. Keine Gepäckträger

Positiv:: Location

Negativ:: Furniture is old

Positiv:: Everything

Negativ:: Warm water was not working

Positiv:: The location is perfect. You can go directly to the beach which is nice and relaxing because it’s never crowded. You can also stay by the pool which is also nice, it looks ever better than the pictures. The rooms are big and very clean. It’s walking distance from the city center where you can shop etc. It also has a good car rental inside the hotel.

Negativ:: There was nothing I didn’t like.

Positiv:: Good and clean room, great atmosephere nearby at the other side of the road. Also the fact that you’re only one minut from the centre of town was great especially at night.

Negativ:: The noise of the cars and motors doing fevers at 2 till 3 o’clock at night. Unbelievable
