The 6 best Specialty lodgings in Aruba, Caribbean

April 23, 2023 Russell Mellin

Aruba is the quintessential Caribbean island, all sun and sea and stretches of powdery white sand. Time will slow to a pleasant crawl as you linger over a tropical cocktail or flutter serenely underwater, where only the parrotfish are in a hurry. The pastel façades of Oranjestad landmarks and shops lend an inviting and playful vibe to the capital city. Enjoy the shade of an Eagle Beach divi tree while the crashing waves of turquoise water create a soothing soundtrack just for you.

Fatima, the front desk clerk at the Hyatt Aruba Airport hotel was absolutely amazing! She is so friendly and helpful, it was good to see this in customer service these days! She made us feel right at home and did everything with a smile! The hotel was very clean, and very comfortable for our family of 6 (2 rooms). We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there - the food & the service was great too, we really enjoyed it.

This is a fantastic condo! My husband and I didn’t want to spend all of our money on an all inclusive, so we decided to try something different. Aruba has so much to offer and we wanted to go out and explore while also having the option to stay in if we wanted, as well. And we did! We rented a car from Yess Express (highly recommend) and had free parking right outside our condo. The walk to the beach is maybe 5 minutes if you have to stop for cars to go by at the end of the road. Gabriella gave us everything we needed- two chairs, towels and a cooler- to bring with us. Umbrellas are already on the beach if you get there early or late enough to use them, so no need to worry about that too much. The pool is very clean and perfect location and temperature. There were always chairs available and usually only a handful of other people there at a time, so we never felt overcrowded or overwhelmed by others. We even used the grills one night which were so easy and we had all the tools we needed. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, coffee pot & things, etc. we went to Ling & Sons twice while there to keep ourselves stocked which is maybe 10 minutes driving from the condo. Both the living room and bedroom have air conditioning units and they are wonderful! The bed was also quite comfortable and we slept well every night. Noise levels were not an issue either. There were several families with small children and we only ever heard them when we sat outside if they were also outside. Otherwise, we had no idea they- or really anyone else- were there. And everyone we did see, employees or guests, were so friendly! Downtown Oranjestad and Paseo Herencia Mall are 15 minutes driving in opposite directions and have everything else you could need for restaurants and shopping. The airport was also super easy and about 15-20 minutes to get to and from with a gas station in between, if you do rent a car. You can also hit a few small restaurants plus a handful of resort restaurants near the condo with a 5-minute car ride or 12 minute walk. There are also Bird rentable bikes and scooters everywhere that are easy and convenient to use, as well. The restaurant on site (Fruto D’Mare) is adorable and has some great food and cocktails. Service was great, too! We also really enjoyed Zucchini which was steps outside the complex. The mini mart right next door was also quite nice and convenient when we needed something quick. Overall, I highly, highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for something more quiet/away from normal resorts and activity. Plus, it’s a great way to save money while still enjoying a really nice, relaxing vacation! When we come back to Aruba, we’ll be reaching out to them again for sure!

Ok for one or two nights

Reviewed By anncI288QV

You have to think of this as sort of an Air BnB. i think they are remodeling, and they are trying, but don't expect a big room (they are very small), an actual counter, fitted sheets, an ice machine, stuff like that. The pool is nice, it's convenient to popular areas, beaches and it's very inexpensive, like less than $60 a night. The restaurant food was actually quite good. Had the grouper.
