Top Donkey Sanctuary Hotel Reviews

Ocean Front Property - Villa 3 Aruba with Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and peaceful atmosphere"

Bella Horizonte - Beachfront 7

10/10 Excellent

"it was a great experience at this unit only problem that i see is management leave your key to your unit in the door which anyone can go into your unit and management is unresponsive to questions or concerns"

Caribbean Corner Home "Tropical"

10/10 Excellent

"Home was very clean and stocked with everything needed to cook both inside and out. Beach necessities like coolers, chairs , towels, and umbrella are in the laundry/storage room. Many residential homes in Aruba don't have hot water tanks. This listing having hot water, along with a washer/ dryer, plus multiple bathrooms and bedrooms was mostly why we chose it. Along with the large outdoor cooking and seating area. Loved having breakfast, cocktails and a couple of meals outdoors when we weren't eating out at the many great restaurants.Zulema was our gracious co-host for the week. She surprised our daughter who recently graduated from high-school with congratulation balloons, champaign, and chocolates when we arrived! No fault of the host, but the home can be tricky to find. Google maps brought us to a vacant lot near by. There are no street signs in the residential area and the house has a high fence in front of it. Making it hard to see the house number when driving by it. We contacted the host Astrid and she was quick to respond back and had us meet Zulema at YOU HUI foodmart which is just around the corner from the home. I recommend all future guests meet Zulema at the foodmart on arrival and follow her to the house. It's easy to find once you use the foodmart as a landmark to find it."

Bella Horizonte - Beachfront 1

10/10 Excellent

"1. Best location2. Host is a great communicator and quick to help out with whatever we needed during the stay3. Room and property are clean and safe4. Rental is so reasonably priced We are repeat customers and have already booked to stay here again in 2 months"

sweet chalet in paradise

8/10 Good

"Sweet chalet was a perfect little gem for my husband and I. It was centrally located making a perfect base for our Aruba adventure. The accommodation had everything we needed with a highlight being the beautiful pool. Sophie and Stephen are wonderful hosts truly interested in making sure our stay was special. This rental was a great value, clean and super easy! Thanks to Sophie for making us feel so welcome!"

3-bedroom house with private pool in wonderful Pos Chiquito

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The pool was fantastic and became one of our favorite places to unwind after a day of exploring Aruba.We rented a car, and the location was perfect. It was just far enough from the busy tourist areas to enjoy some peace and quiet, yet only a short drive to the beaches, restaurants, and everything downtown has to offer. It really gave us the best of both worlds.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting Aruba. We would be happy to stay here again on a future trip!"
