Oranjestad hotellia

Plussat: The staff was amazing, Angela was exceptional we encountered an emergency and the staff made a very scary situation a pleasant one, The staff is exceptional!!! We started saving so we could go back!!! Thank You JuanCarlos and Lillian Rivas, Miss You guys!!!!

Miinukset: The only thing we didn’t like was having to leave!

Plussat: Excellent friendly staff, very clean. Excellent service on the beach, just put a flag up on your chair and service arrives! Great restaurant, excellent food with fantastic vegan and vegetarian choices.

Miinukset: The booking system for the beach chairs, had to be booked at 5pm at which time we were still enjoying ourselves on the beach, didn't understand how when you went on line at 5pm all the front rows were gone!

Plussat: Great breakfast and location.

Plussat: Loved the chilled out vibe of the place.

Plussat: Everything at Bucuti is top notch - staff, food, beach, rooms, grounds. We'll be back. Thank you for your wonderful and gracious hospitality!

Miinukset: That we have to leave :(

Plussat: Total relaxation, no Zumba or water aerobics, no music blasting out, no smoking, reserved sun beds, fantastic ocean and beach.

Miinukset: There was nothing to dislike

Plussat: Everything... The beachlocation, the service, the food at the restaurant, the stuff, the facilities.... Can't wait to come back.

Miinukset: Drinks and breakfast were just ok. For the price point i would have expected a more upscale breakfast but it does cover all your bfast needs so no complaints.

Plussat: The reviews of this place are spot on. I can’t think of one flaw or disappointing minute with the Bucuti & Tara resort. I would highly recommend this location to anyone and we have already booked our second trip next year. While staying here the following staff were outstanding and really stood out, as they took great care of us the entire time! Carlos, Robert, Greg, Oscar, John,and Brandon!

Plussat: Staff especially the bartender Karen.

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was great

Plussat: Everything. Staff, spa, property, cleanliness, all wonderful.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location. Cleanliness. Beach access.

Plussat: It’s just a perfect quiet getaway for those who love tranquility Food was unbelievable good!!!!

Miinukset: No complains it was just perfect! One thing I might add ... the staff was so lovely and everybody was giving the best - smiles everywhere ! but there was one lady at the reception for breakfast and she was very bossy and rude she was seating the people and was sometimes really unfriendly and nasty not only to us but to everybody :( that stood absolutely out because everyone else was sooooo sweet

Plussat: Ease of obtaining a sun protected lounger on beach

Miinukset: Small outdoor bar with limited ocean views

Plussat: Great location. Friendly staff.

Plussat: The resort was amazing. It has the local island feel and is NOT commercialized. It was clean and the staff was amazing!! The food at all the restaurants on property was amazing. My husband and I had a couples massage and that was wonderful as well. Highly recommend and we are making plans to return!

Plussat: Perfect place, small holel with only 2 floors. Fantastic clean beach. Lovely palmthatched umbrellas with nice comfortable sunlounger, fantastic service at the beach, very good caretaking staff, good food, 4 choices of restaurant, clean well equiped rooms with nice terrace or balcony where you can watch sunset and the beach and waves. Not crowded, at the best corner of the long white beach and the best hotel, we think. The sunlounges are put with a lot of space to each other, this place does not get crowded even if its fully booked. Definitly recommended.

Plussat: Breakfast was Great , Staff was wonderful.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The food and service at both restaurants were excellent! Staff was always very friendly and helpful. The "munchie bag" for the flight home was nice. Really liked the quiet and relaxing atmosphere.

Miinukset: Better lighting in the bathroom.

Plussat: Manchebo sits on a large beach with plenty of chairs/huts per the amount of people staying at the resort. I was able to walk up at noon, and pick out a spot on the frontline. It was a decent walk to the water, but nothing terrible. Never used the pool, but it looked great. Best happy hour on the island! 2 for 1 drinks from 4 to 6. Very quite resort.

Miinukset: They literally ran out of shampoo at the resort. Also, while we had a garden view room, the workers hung out in that area occasionally, leaving us little to no privacy. Thankfully, we didn't mind that too much, as we hardly were in our room for most of the day.

Plussat: Eagle beach is beautiful, resort central to everything, resort property clean and beautiful

Miinukset: Loved everything here, just wished were more at night to do, like dancing or movie night.

Plussat: The wonderful staff, the Private carpark, the beautiful garden

Plussat: Staff, size, parking

Plussat: Service 100%, Gaston is the best! I have stay with them more than once and definable I will doing it. Also, breakfast its incredible!

Plussat: Great comfortable room. Beautifully decorated place

Miinukset: Location was a little far from the beach.

Plussat: I loved how they ensured that the gated remained locked at all times for safety reasons, anyone that wanted to enter the premises had to have key access which made me feel very safe. The property gave a relaxing vibe which can be great for couples!

Miinukset: The furniture could have been dusted off a bit, but the vibe in the hotel was still nice, and mosquito repellent is a must!!

Plussat: Excelent place to stay, you can perfectly feel like at home. The service is awesome, it's good located and they help you with everything you may need. I absolutely recommend it .

Plussat: Off beaten path but overall great place very helpful staff. And bereakfsst

Plussat: The staff was super nice. Lots of additions such as beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, beach towels!! Great quiet place to sit and have a drink. Breakfast was very nice.

Miinukset: Not a great location. Need a car to get anywhere or do anything.

Plussat: Nice property, quiet very relaxing.

Plussat: The staff was extremely friendly, we met Marlon on arrival and she was very pleasant! The serene garden and pool area was tastefully decorated and very relaxing. The rooms were comfy and equipped with a blow dryer. The property also had beach chairs and snorkel equipment to borrow. A perfect tropical getaway and home away from home in Aruba and walking distance to town!

Plussat: Every morning the breakfasts served were delicious. We sat in a garden setting surrounded by palm trees and various types of island flowers. Ruby, our server, always greeted us with a smile and could not do enough to make us happy with her great sense of style and friendliness. The food was to die for...delicious Dutch pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream, omelets, scrambled eggs and a huge assortment of dark and white breads mixed with croissants.

Miinukset: It would have been better only if we had the opportunity to stay longer.

Plussat: It's very central, beautifully appointed, and serene.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Beautiful resort and very friendly, helpful staff.

Miinukset: Nothing. Very sad to leave.

Plussat: Food was excellent, menu offered variety, service excelleng. Property was well maintained. Beach superb! Would highly recommend.

Miinukset: Can't think of a thing.

Plussat: The rooms were spacious and the sofa bed large and comfortable. The kitchenette was well stocked and the BBQ on site was also handy. The beach was close and has Chairs you can lie on. The pool with its slide was fantastic. The activities we participated in were fun. My 8 year old particularly like the tie dye t shirt (we had to pay $14 for him to participate however). The convenience of putting everything we paid for in the hotel in our bill so no need to carry cash around.

Miinukset: Our microwave was locked and no instructions to unlock so we cooked only on the stovetop. The drinks at the bar (such as piña colada) had a very minimal amount of alcohol in them (even outside of happy hour). Beware that you have to pay extra for some activities so best find out first before the kids get all excited.

Plussat: The bed was comfortable and room very clean.

Miinukset: Could have had more exciting things to do pool side for later hours.

Plussat: 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.

Plussat: The guest were great friendly

Miinukset: Food selection

Plussat: Perfect location!

Miinukset: Housekeeping was not on top on things but not a reason to not go! Just had to keep calling for things .. didn’t come a couple times

Plussat: Clean, very friendly staff, and close to the beach.

Miinukset: No washer and dryer in the studio rooms

Plussat: We liked the location. We liked that there was so much to do, on the property and nearby. We enjoyed the pool and happy hour. The staff was great.

Miinukset: We had problems with the air conditioning in our room. The living area was fine, but the bedroom was too cold and we had difficulty making it warmer.

Plussat: 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!

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

Plussat: Breakfast at the Islander Grill was very good, especially the Sunday breakfast buffet.

Miinukset: We don't find there is anything to dislike about LaCabana.

Plussat: Love the location the one bedroom suite was comfortable our housekeeper was really good at her job our room was cleaned and always replenished our towels. Really enjoyed the nightly music /happy hour by the pool. Our beach attendants were awesome everyday they work hard and always had a smile while supplying us with chaise lounges

Miinukset: Mattress on pull out couch not very comfortable —-hard

Plussat: Clean, quiet, with very easy beach access but such a beautiful pool and patio it was hard to leave. The front desk manager was gracious and accommodating ... there was never a hesitation for any request!

Miinukset: It might be difficult for people with disabilities to manage the stairs.

Plussat: The location!! Was really perfect!! Very close to the most beautiful beach in Aruba, better than other close to big hotels!

Miinukset: Maybe the hotel can be more modern..

Plussat: Very good value near the beach. We really liked the free beach chairs, towels and having a small kitchen to cook.

Plussat: If you are looking for a clean room and location with quiet surroundings Dorado is it. After spending months reading reviews looking for the right hotel, i choose Dorado for their cleanliness comments. The hotel is small with only 10 rooms. The room was clean, spacious, with a kitchenette and good AC unit. Beach is within a five minute walk and the hotel provides chairs and towels. The hotel is located between downtown Oranjestad and Arubas high rise area which makes for a quick cab ride, but also far enough to be able to get away from all the crowded areas and enjoy the quiet. The surroundings and pool area were always clean, and that staff was always friendly and attentive. NOTE: The hotel is working on expanding, adding another building with more rooms so there is a construction site next to the hotel, but Aruba has construction going on all over the island with new hotels and remodeling, so construction will be unavoidable.

Plussat: It's cheap respect island standards. Room was nice above my expectations, above all the marble bathroom. Staff is very friendly, we've had good conversations. Clean service everyday if u want, free availability of daily beach tovels and useful beach chairs. A plus. Pool is very basic but in the evening is enlightened with colors, so it appears nice. About 120/150 meters from the beach.

Miinukset: Maybe only the sorroundings of the structure

Plussat: very accommodating and helpful.

Plussat: The price is good. The stuff is very nice. Definitely worth the price

Miinukset: The toiletries were mediocre

Plussat: Clean room, good airco

Miinukset: Shower only (very) hot water. Was not possible to mix the hot water with cold water

Plussat: great location

Miinukset: everything was fine

Plussat: Value, clean, quiet and friendly multi-language staff.

Miinukset: No phone in room. No tissue box's or papertowels in room. Ongoing construction on both sides of the property.

Plussat: The reception staff were very nice and helpful and provided beach towels and chairs free of charge. The room was a good size with 2 double beds and a sofa bed. We had lovely hot showers!

Miinukset: The floor in the apartment could have been cleaner as we had to wash our feet before putting our sandals on to go out. The pool area out the back was not very inviting and we never saw anyone using it as it was more a large plunge pool rather than a swimming pool.

Plussat: great beach

Miinukset: The staff was overall rude, there was only fast food available when you purchase only lunch

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Saw a LARGE roach but it’s to be expected in the islands

Plussat: The beach ,rooms and pools

Miinukset: Everything was very hands on

Plussat: location

Miinukset: Checkin was closed at 10:25pm and I had no idea where to go to check in. Finally I was able to talk to a security guard that told me to check in at Divi Golf, he just pointed across the street. i drove and couldnt find it, so i came back to get led.

Plussat: the size and view

Miinukset: leaking water line

Plussat: Our room was magnificently beautiful, very roomy and comfortable. We will for sure be staying with Divi again- Fishing with Peter was amazing, he and his crew were awesome. Seriously tho, this island is small enough that if you rent a car, you can take yourself to see anything you want to see. Driving in this country is easy, this was the first time we've rented a car while in another country and had no problems navigating as you can't possibly get lost on a 20 mile long, 6 mile wide island. The people/ locals are very nice and will tell you the best places/things to see on the island. We loved everything about our stay on the island with the exception of the tour mentioned above. Kukoo Kunuku dinner and pub crawl was an awesome time- I highly recommend this while on the island. We will do this every single time we come to this island. We met some great people and had the most fun we've had in a long time on this "excursion". ***Bus Mama, (she was our 'guide' on the Kukoo kunuku bus) if you ever see this, you made our night out on to remember. I only wish we had gotten a picture with you. Maybe next time

Miinukset: They only thing we DID NOT love was the jeep excursion with De Palm tours. It was horrendous, torture and very much over dramatized. If I were working for the Divi I would be embarrassed to even recommend this to people. They should really stop promoting such a horrible excursion. This is something I would NEVER recommend, even for my first enemy. It was horrendous and I hate the fact that we wasted close to $200 on this as well as wasted a whole day of our vacation on this tour. The absolute worst experience we've had while traveling- and we've traveled to many different places for many different reasons.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Booked two months ahead of time and got “ upgraded” across the street overlooking a parking lot. Grrrr.

Miinukset: Earlier check-in for those arriving early would be GREATLY appreciated.....wasted an entire 2 hours to get to our rooms because none was ready !

Plussat: Clean rooms, nice pools, very friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: More amenities such as snack bars and a larger selection in the breakfast-lunch area.

Plussat: Breakfast was located right outside of my room. Very Convenient.

Plussat: Everything was clean and the staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Yvonne (the concierge) even went out of her way to help me when I forgot a contact case! Thank you Yvonne!!

Miinukset: The property is not “right” on the beach (one of the other Divi properties has buildings between this one and the beach). However, it is not at all far, and there are spaces between the other buildings so you still can see the beach.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: No hot water for three days, no real answer

Plussat: Kevin (the supper attendand) was very helpfull. Quick to help. There was a mini fridge in wich we could put food. The location was great..

Miinukset: There was used Gilette razor from the guests before us in the bathroom drawer. There was no microwave so we can heat the food we put in the fridge. there was no water heater so we can make cofee or tea You could hear the guests from the room beside us talking. And they were not even talking loud. So the rooms are not soud proof. (No Privacy). The AC needs a full service. We had lights only from the night stands. Not bright enough..

Plussat: Location is great. That's why we go to MVC. The restaurant is reasonable and very good..

Miinukset: Could use an ice machine. Have to go to the restaurant to get ice. Not a big deal. Maybe something different in the rooms for your clothes.

Plussat: Excellent location. View of Eagle Beach and sunset from rooms on first floor. Beds very comfortable. Great shower.

Miinukset: Nothing negative. It's perfect. I'd like to come back!

Plussat: Absolute hidden 5 star diamond directly across the street from TripAdvisor’s consistent top 5 beaches on the planet - Eagle Beach. From our beautiful second story room to the front cabana was exactly 202 steps (not feet). Hotel Offers great continental breakfast and has a very popular dining restaurant (Tulips). Christy, Jennifer & Cherritt are three of the most friendly folks on the island. Two negatives however. Upon arrival they over-charge your credit card by over $100 for and I quote “incidentals”. I believe this practice is illegal in the US, and we were so PO’d we didn’t take advantage of either the continental breakfast or Tulip restaurant all week. We purchased absolutely nothing at the hotel. The second thing was we did book a UTV excursion through the hotel front desk and for some reason had to pay $53 USD cash up front and then paid another $213 via CC once we got to the De Palm tours location. Appears there was some type of kick-back here so you may be able to save yourself some cash if you bypass the (very helpful) front desk and book directly. Still for the price and location I would highly recommend and come back in a heartbeat. Already miss this place!

Miinukset: As mentioned - upon arrival they over-charge your credit card by over $100 for and I quote “incidentals”. I believe this practice is illegal in the US, and we were so PO’d we didn’t take advantage of either the continental breakfast or Tulip restaurant all week. We purchased absolutely nothing at the hotel.

Plussat: The decor was nice

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: MVC offers a great and hospitable alternative to the lage resorts. Seems like a riveter piece of paradise.

Miinukset: The furnishings in the room could use an update.

Plussat: Staff was very friendly and responsive.

Miinukset: Expected a bigger (real) pool.

Plussat: Location was awesome!l.Directly across from beach. Restaurant was good. Very clean. Very welcoming! They had our room ready early when we arrived

Miinukset: The male bartender wasn’t very friendly.

Plussat: The staff here exceeds expectations above and beyond. Christie was amazing and she would make anything you wanted happen. She easily handled 3 customers in her small office without any of us feeling unimportant. The location is wonderful if you plan to spend days at the beach as the front of the hotel is across the street from a nice quiet stretch of Eagle Beach (which is stunningly beautiful). The rooms are basic and comfortable, but don't stay there if you want a lot of adventure right out your doorstep- be prepared for easy bus rides up and down the west coast or info Oranjestad for about $2.60 USD/AbFl. It's a no extra fluff, fantastic for families and people wanting a comfortable home base for adventures kind of place. We loved it!

Miinukset: The room required the AC to be on at 22C the whole time (even when out of room) to prevent condensation. It could get a little chilly at night! The hotel restaurant was good but not so adventurous, and it did take a bus ride or a 40 min trek to some more interesting eateries.

Plussat: Close to beach

Miinukset: Dishonest check-in staff who over charged our stay.

Plussat: Perfect location, wonderful staff, clean rooms, the best value for money deal on the eagle beach & most fair prices in the restaurant on the entire eagle beach.

Miinukset: You need a taxi to get anywhere other than eagle beach.

Plussat: Staff attention.

Plussat: Comfy beds, excellent views.

Miinukset: No coffee filter paper in room . Woken u by garbage collection service outside the hotel in the morning.

Plussat: Rooms are big and right on the beach. Friendly staff. Free parking. Breakfast was nice with fruits and different each day.

Miinukset: Neighboring room is very loud, with only two doors in between. The bed was not the best. Water pressure of the shower is weak. Loud music from the marina next door on the weekend.

Plussat: Views amazing Safe environment Nearby parking

Miinukset: Noise from nearby nightclub every night Stairs Beds too high to easily get onto Sheets not changed in 7 days

Plussat: We enjoyed being away from the crowds on a much quieter beach. We packed up each day, walked to town, and took the bus wherever we wanted to go. Enjoyed the view and peaceful breakfast on the balcony overlooking the water. This place is not for the timeshare crowd, but it is perfect for couples wanting a private getaway. We also enjoyed eating at the bar at Pinchos right on the water 100 yards from our room. Also the owner is a real local and was very helpful. She gave us beach chairs and towels each day, and the people who worked there were no intrusive.

Miinukset: While eating breakfast on the balcony was ideal and they tried to mix it up, it wasn’t delicious. I liked the fruit and chocolate pound cake, didn’t really eat the meats.

Plussat: Lovely staff and location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We love location it’s low key , more natives, not at all like the high rise area which we don’t care for to stay. Staff is amazing , so kind helpful. Super clean everywhere rooms. The property .

Plussat: We loved the helpfulness of the staff regarding suggestions. The rooms were very large, extremely clean and very comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast on the balcony overlooking the ocean. It was nice to be able to choose our breakfast delivery time as well. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to be back soon.

Plussat: Location, room size, balcony, waterfront view, breakfast, service

Miinukset: Water pressure in shower

Plussat: Quiet

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location comfort value small size breakfast served

Miinukset: All was well

Plussat: Location and convenient

Miinukset: Bathrooms / shower timing needed a bit more scrub!

Plussat: A beautiful and fun hotel. Very central. Very light and spacious. They have a little pool and lounge area by the pool on the second floor. The Flamingo Beach on their private island is sooo wonderful - I loved being able to see the flamingos, too. The food is excellent. So very friendly, helpful and attentive staff.

Plussat: Place was Beautiful / Located near anything and everything in walking Distance Staff was extremely helpful Bed was unbelievable comfortable

Plussat: I loved how everything was right there. and how all the restaurants were close by and the island....oh my gosh, the island was wonderful. Everything was amazing!!! I want to go back NOW!! Please give me a free room stay!

Miinukset: I honestly have not one negative thing to say about this place. I wish the all inclusive cost less, but other than me wanting to go back but not being able to, there was nothing else I didn't like.

Plussat: No microwave on property ... rather small room

Miinukset: Shower/no bath tub

Plussat: Breakfast buffet at aquarius. Private island offer beach to a waterfront (but not beachfront property)

Miinukset: Old, aged building, NOT beachfront, staff friendly (sometimes) but not helpful. Property even adult side not fun for singles.

Plussat: Not far from the airport and in a great location. The resort is walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants. The private island with flamingos feels like a different world. Would def go back!

Plussat: The hotel was very open. The lobby was almost outside which was beautiful. The view from the pool was beautiful. It was not too expensive depending on the popularity of Aruba. The Renaissance privat Island was beautiful and the food out there was so good too!

Miinukset: Don’t put your clothes on the bathropm floor. I don’t know what they are washing the floor with, but our shower was leaking so water was on the floor. But before I noticed this, I’ve already put I white t-shirt on the floor. The day after, my t-shirt was soaking wet and had pink dots all over, and still haven’t gotten it fully away. So I don’t know what they are using to wash their floor.

Plussat: Flamingo beach was amazing!

Plussat: Resort was very clean. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Loved the location !!!

Miinukset: The mattress was uncomfortable!! It sagged in the middle areas. The bed pillows were flat and lacked support. I requested others but the ones deliver to the suite were just as soft. When we checked in the resort did not see our reservation in their system. That was very upsetting but they explained that somewhere the reservation did not get transferred to their system. However we were accommodated in a one bedroom ocean front suite as requested at my booking.

Plussat: Loved everything x

Plussat: Friendly staff. Everything accessible & convenient

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: The location was very good

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

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

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Staff was extremely friendly and courteous.

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

Plussat: Accomodation was perfect.see the answers right above

Miinukset: The smell of the bath towels

Plussat: Highly professional service provided by the hotel together wihh the assistance of wonderful and friendly staff on reception.

Plussat: 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.

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

Miinukset: Loved everything.

Plussat: The staffs are nice

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: It was quiet, secure and clean

Miinukset: Nothing I didn’t like

Plussat: Solar Villa was amazing value! The staff were very friendly, the king bed was super comfy, facilities clean and pool area so pretty! Yoanna even put goodies in our room because my husband had told her it was my birthday. Much appreciated! They also let us use their phone when we had rental car issues. We hope to come back and stay again! Rental car is definitely advised at this location, but we would pretty much say that about anywhere in Aruba because there is so much to see (unless you want to stay at your resort the whole time).

Plussat: 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

Miinukset: No hot water as typical on the island

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

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

Plussat: The room and swimming pool

Miinukset: Cleaning and location

Plussat: The property location was good, clean, friendly owners, small pool but perfect for a quick dip and was mainly just us using it. Had a small kitchen in our apartment which was great as we could make breakfast and snacks whenever we wanted

Miinukset: Cold showers!! Some fixtures could do with updating

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Our stay at the Solar Villa was a disappointment considering the high rate on booking. 1. The place was very dirty everywhere: there was hair on the bed sheets, hair in the shower, dust on the floor. The table on the terrace and chairs was also dirty. Pool was dirty inside. 2. Furniture and all appliances were very old and broken. 3. the room had a funny smell, like mold, all closes smelld afterwords. 4. No toilet paper in the room, i had to go to shop to buy paper before i could use the toilet. 2 towels for 4 people. 5. Wifi was not working very good in the room. 6. Little bugs in kitchen 7. nobody cleaned rooms for 2 days 8. very far from downtown. Atleast 3-4 km, not 2 like says in the add. Nearby was only a little shop, sandy roads, big dogs were barking all niht around the hotel and walked alone in the area, which was very sceary. Deffenately need a car!

Plussat: Spacious and clean

Miinukset: Cool place near downtown

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: No complain it was what i had aspected.

Plussat: 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.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: 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!

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

Plussat: 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

Plussat: 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!

Plussat: Clean and spacious suite with a few extra touches - nicely decorated, fluffy towels.

Miinukset: There is no hot water at the facility. We expected this, but others may not. Also, it wasn't clear on booking that there was street parking only: one the whole this was not a big problem, but we did have to search one day.

Plussat: Jean the property manger was so friendly and helpful. He went out of his way to help us. He made sure our stay was the best it could. The room was very large and clean. The room had a big fridge with a microwave right next to it. It is close to all the town shops. About a 10 min walk to the Cruise ship docks. There is a great restaurant down the street that stays open late. It’s also only about a 10 or 15 min walk to a very nice and clean beach called surf side.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect. I can’t think of any negatives.

Plussat: Good location, near the city center and far away from tourist area.

Plussat: I and my wife have been traveling to Aruba for over 20 plus years. we are timeshare owners at Divi Village Resorts and we love this place.

Miinukset: There is nothing not to like.

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

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

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

Miinukset: No

Plussat: Rooms were really nice roomy and clean Staff were very friendly only stayed for one night Golf course is really nice grounds are incredible

Plussat: The resort is in a great location. Beach, restaurants, and casino in close proximity. I will consider Divi on my next vacation. My room cleaning person Ruth was fantastic.

Miinukset: It was hard to get around. The roads around the facility were a mess. No fault of the resort but it did affect where I went.

Plussat: The location was good it is a nice site and has a fantastic beach

Miinukset: I have photographs of hundreds of mosquitos on the floor and walls of the balcony. There were many many mosquitoes on the curtains and walls inside too. Spraying the inside of the apartment was helpful but attention to client comfort was certainly not a high enough priority by housekeeping staff.

Plussat: It was very clean! The food was good and the entertainment by the pool was amazing!

Plussat: The proximity to the beach

Miinukset: The customer service was not friendly. Never asked if it was our first stay. They did not try to help by giving local information like where to eat how to get around just not as good as other resorts I have stayed at.

Miinukset: I wish there were more convenient mini-markets for snacks and food - the food on the hotel property store was minimal and expensive!

Plussat: Location, beach, grounds, large room, washer and dryer in unit

Miinukset: coffee maker in room but coffee bags not provided, no coffee in the lobby either, moldy smell in the room

Plussat: Food and service in restaurants.

Miinukset: Shuttle service at night and from hotel to restaurant and back.

Plussat: this is based close to the golf the only bad thing we had that they had construction going on right in frnt of the balcony. we were able to change the room.

Miinukset: the dinner is not great at the restaurant, better to go some where around the area more choices and better quality

Plussat: Nice place to relax and have fun

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: Great updated room. Nice pools.

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

Miinukset: Adults are considered over 12 so we were charged extra at checkin for our 2 children to stay in the room.

Plussat: Breakfast was good, access to the beach through the sister resort was great. Rooms are full-equipped apartments, for those who may want to whip up a meal different to options on resort, also great idea of having grills available close to pool areas for guests to use.

Miinukset: While it didn't bother us, hopefully, renovation work will be completed soon.

Plussat: Great staff!!!

Miinukset: Great staff

Plussat: Many amenities close to Eagle beach

Plussat: The staff the location and the atmosphere of the facility.

Miinukset: IT was being remodeled at the time so it was a little uneasy.

Miinukset: There was construction work on the grounds of the hotel and we wasn’t pre warned about it so that was very disappointing. They need more food choice in the hotel. The pictures that are on booking.com was not the same as the apartment we was in and the apartment was extremely dated.

Plussat: The family friendly ambiance of the resort was delightful. The nightly live music was a bonus too!

Miinukset: While the staff was persistent asking if we would be interested in buying a time share, they were respectful of our polite declines of their offers.

Plussat: Upon check out they wanted to charge me 300 USD for smoking in the room. I don't smoke. Then they said it was for failure to keep the AC on at all times. So I was supposed to be in a tropical place but keep the AC on for my family an kids to freeze at night- not to mention the environmental issues that go along with that. It sounds like they wanted to charge me 300 usd for no matter what! They said it was because it creates mildew. Well, for 200 USD a night I would expect someone to clean up! When demanded to speak to a manager, they agreed to drop this ridiculous charge. This was stressful and almost caused me to miss my flight. Apologies by the front desk? Nope.

Plussat: Good location, great safe and beautiful island. Beach palapas and chairs went quickly in the morning....could have been more of those or restrict the “saving my spot” people. Pools were clean and large, lobby was simple and small. Renovated room was at best a two-three star accommodation....furniture, carpet, etc. was dirty and worn but bathroom with large shower was nice.

Miinukset: Rooms were aged (even the renovated room) and furniture and rugs were stained. Had to walk thru a sister resort to get to beach. People put towels on beach chairs to reserve space and didn’t show up for hours.

Plussat: Location location location Excellent reception. Welcoming and willing to give advice on activities, restaurants and more! Good breakfast

Miinukset: A bit noisy at night since close to beachfront bars and dancing.

Plussat: the rooms are spacious and clean.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: We had to change rooms twice due to no lights in the room and shower smelled like urine and old wash clothes. No wash clothes just dingy white hand towels.

Plussat: What i like more is the location

Miinukset: We didnt like the breakfast it was too cheap

Plussat: simply decorated and clean rooms. nice size rooms

Miinukset: Loud noises, no catering or breakfast on premises, late check-in. There is an airport nearby that completely deafens the environment. No privacy

Plussat: It's close the airport and it's close to the beach. Breakfast was included.

Miinukset: Not enough lighting in the bathroom to do makeup.

Plussat: The bed was comfy

Miinukset: I liked everything

Miinukset: The mainroad in front of the hotel. But the main thing was the electricity. Wnet off and on the whole morning. They were trying to fixed it but it was a bigger problem. But no sorry or compensation.

Plussat: 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.

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

Plussat: It was excelent. The service was good and it was very quiet .

Miinukset: Could hear Music from outside till late in the evening

Miinukset: Lobby. No porters
