Top Donkey Sanctuary Hotel Reviews

Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Loved all the details that went into the cabana on flamingo island. Everything was perfect!"

Mammaloes

10/10 Excellent

"If you’re looking for a quiet getaway away from the crowds, Mamaloe’s is a true gem. I’m an avid traveler and it’s one of my favorite places to stay on the planet- close to the national park and a few minutes drive from great beaches and the art scene in San Nicolas. The grounds are beautiful and the architecture delightfully whimsical. I’ve stayed before and I’ll certainly be back."

Hyatt Place Aruba

10/10 Excellent

"For the one night stay, it was perfect"

Vistalmar Ocean Suites

8/10 Good

"It was super cute clean and quiet for the most part. Perfect spot on the island to drive to all the different beaches!! You absolutely need rental car to stay here. I did see washer in listing but its not for use without a laundry package. Also thought it would be near private small beach but it was a dock. Still very pretty and we had rental car so all was good!! I would stay here again!"

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."

Sunway Aruba Aparments

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice choice"

WEAVING MILL ARUBA bed and coffee

10/10 Excellent

"I had to put everything a five star because it really was. I didn’t had any negative experience at all. The host was very friendly/polite and informative concerning where to go and eat, the accommodation was clean and utilities were functional, the property and neighborhood were safe. I mean, those are the things that mattered to me."
