Top Donkey Sanctuary Hotel Reviews

Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort

8/10 Good

"Size"

Juanedu Suites

8/10 Good

"Clean room but I thought the room was going to look like it in the pictures."

Vistalmar Ocean Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We booked our stay and flights through Expedia.ca and chose Vistalmar mainly because it was close to the airport and because the suite we booked had its own little private pool, which I thought was such a cute feature. We weren’t sure how large or busy the property would be, but it turned out to be quite small, with only around 14 suites, so it was very peaceful for the most part. There is also a larger pool at the front and another at the back, and many times when we used them, we had the entire pool to ourselves. We mostly went in the evenings or during the afternoon when we came back for a little break between activities. Our suite was extremely clean. We had a small kitchen, which was really convenient because we were able to prepare some of our own food. The bathroom was clean, and the shower had excellent water pressure. I honestly have no complaints about the room or our stay."

voco Surfside Aruba by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was soooo kind! From the birthday treat to the sweet greetings at breakfast, I felt very welcome. The breakfast was fantastic and the rooms were so nice & clean. Also the location is perfect!"

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."

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."

Agua Clara Eco Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The experience at this hotel was exceptional; the pricing was reasonable, and the accommodations were impeccably clean and well-appointed. The environment was tranquil, providing a welcome respite from external disturbances. The hosts demonstrated outstanding professionalism and hospitality."

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."
