Soggiorno magico ad Aruba, niente palazzoni sul mare ma ognuno ha la sua casita intima immersa nel giardino tropicale. P

Beautiful boutique hotel

10.0

One of the most beautiful stays. Each room is more like a beautiful beach apartment. The gardens and landscaping around the hotel were gorgeous. The casita was spotless and the shower had good water pressure. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. The walk to Palm Beach was quick and we were offered a ride by the shuttle for our return trip while not needed it was appreciated. The beach chairs were very comfortable and palapas provided excellent shade. Its on the quieter side of Palm Beach but still nosier then Eagle Beach. The water was beautiful but the sand felt more like a lake a little slimy, i think it might be from all the boats but other then that a beautiful stay.

Summer in Paradise

10.0

I trust Trip Advisor and had been looking at the stellar reviews for this place for awhile. We usually do the big high rise or the cruise when vacationing in the Caribbean. This time we chose to do something a little different. We are here now and every five star review has proven to be deserving. It is a high quality small hotel with casitas in the Dutch manner with pastel and colorful decor. Everything looks high quality, as well as the service and Michelin restaurant. It is directly across from the Ritz. There is a two minute walk across to the palapa reserved Boardwalk area of the beach between The Ritz and Marriott only for Boardwalk vacationers but a shuttle if you prefer.. There is everyone from honeymooners to older couples. The two pools are lovely. It is on an old coconut plantation and is very tropical with foliage and birds. It isn't cheap, but sometimes you get what you paid for.

Uma experiência incrível em um lugar lindo e aconchegante

9.0

A experiência de se hospedar na propriedade é única e diferenciada. O paisagismo é impecável. As casitas são lindas e funcionais, com cozinha completa. O conforto das casitas é nota 10. Cama e chuveiro perfeitos. A área das piscinas é fantástica, mas não possui capacidade para acolher todos os hóspedes no dias de maior lotação. O restaurante Coco Café é muito bom, mas os preços podem ser maiores que os praticados na ilha.

A estrutura de praia (palapas e cadeiras) te atende bem, mas poderia ser melhor. O restaurante Coco café atende na praia, mas não possui estrutura nesse local. Um atendente anota os pedidos e os solicita via rádio, podendo demorar um pouco para chegar. Não há banheiros da propriedade na estrutura de praia. Você precisa utilizar a estrutura do Ritz ou do Marriot para ir ao banheiro ou se trocar, mas não há qualquer obstáculo para isso. Ou seja, são palapas e cadeiras (confortáveis) e não um Beach Club. Alguns membros da equipe têm dificuldade em se comunicar em espanhol. Utilize o inglês.
