Top Donkey Sanctuary Hotel Reviews

Vistalmar Ocean Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, i would return."

Juanedu Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and well maintain property close to the airport and Downtown Oranjestad. Great Value for the money. Nice pool and nice rooms."

Hacienda Apartments near the beach

8/10 Good

"The apartment was clean and just enough space for me as a solo traveler. I loved that it was a short walk to Surfside Beach and I did feel safe walking to and from the beach alone. Cons: The photo of where the key box was that was sent by property owner sent, did not match where the location of the box actually was, so was confused on where to find the key box to gain access. The bed was really hard and the water temperature was like lukewarm but more on the cold side. The microwave also was not heating up, which I did advise them of and they did replace it. The location was a bit far from the shops and restaurant so I did spend more in taxi fare then what I wanted to spend. I did not have any cash to be able to ride the public bus and the ATM I was able to stop at, I could not withdraw cash from. My first time in Aruba and I enjoyed it, but will opt to get a hotel on the next visit."

Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing! Pools, staff, shopping, ambience, everything!"

Hyatt Place Aruba

10/10 Excellent

"The room as great, our flight was canceled and the hotel had everything we needed. Thank you!!"

Beachfront Bella Horizonte 3

10/10 Excellent

"The view of the beach so beautiful and quiet and peaceful"

Ocean Front Property - Villa 1 Aruba

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn’t have been happier with our choice here. About a 20min taxi to the “tourist” areas but the local restaurant near the villa are arguably better than the ones on the north end of the island. Beaches near us were relatively empty in comparison to the north end of the island. Only suggestion I have to future visitors is to keep the bathroom door shut when running the AC. The room gets very cold once you do this. Otherwise, it can get a little toasty. 5 stars all around. If we come back to Aruba we will be staying here again."

Ocean Front Property - Villa 3 Aruba with Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the stay a lot. Clean room, with jacuzzi inside the room, with small kitchen, affordable, better to rent a car because far from the city"

Coral Reef Beach Aruba

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second year in a row that we have stayed at the coral reef. We love Jenny and her husband, Eric. They take care of the place. Graciela and Victor also work there and couldn’t be more gracious and helpful. We will definitely stay there again. The people there are like family to us."
