Greg and Izaira were great from start to finish!
This apartment is lovely and was perfect for our beach vacation!!! Very clean and nicely decorated. When we return to Aruba we plan to stay here again!
We made breakfast/lunches here. Outside area is great for eating breakfast, taking showers, either after the beach to get the salt/sand off or your regular shower (house next door but no one can see over the fence). We spent majority of our time at the beach and visiting friends on the island so we didn't spend any time just hanging at the apartment or making dinner here, there is a BBQ outside. There were some ants in the kitchen (really minor), but hey its an Island so just keep stuff in the fridge and wipe up anything sugary like juice or RUM! If you are looking for an indoor place to relax you can do it here but not a large area to lounge inside. If you plan on spending your days outdoors and use this a base it is fantastic.
Arashi beach is very close, minutes to drive too and can bike or walk there quite easily. Arashi beach was our favorite, it was less crowded than the bigger beaches, water was a little deeper than Baby Beach but still has sand bars. We used the beach chairs from the house which worked out great. You can snorkel at Arashi quite easily in a few different spots that are deeper and then swim to the shallows and stand up if you need a break.
We had a Jeep for the week, did some off roading by the lighthouse/golf course and drove the island down to Baby beach for the day. Baby beach was great for snorkeling even though there is some current in the water it was quite safe (I am not a swimmer at all btw).
EATS:
Big Mamas: Curry Goat, Oxtail Stew--awesome
Red Fish: great fish, fresh and good prices. Staff is great here!
Faro Blanco: Romantic sunset and very good food, a little pricier but worth it
Zeerovers: Choose your Freshly caught fish/shrimp then cooked while you wait, 4 of us ate for under $40 US plus beer of course - 2 buckets for 22 and 6 to take home!! Sunset views!
Our bags did not arrive on time, we had no phone service (only the wifi in the house) we used Izaira's phone number as a contact for the airline and she was essential in making sure we got our bags. Izaira meet us before we left, asked how we liked the place/suggestions we had which was nice, shows interest. Cheers Izaira!!
Greg was super easy to deal with when booking/answering questions and helpful with suggestions for our trip.
Cheers!
One happy couple
