Alto Vista Winery

I enjoyed my stay at Mosaic. There was a minor issue in the early part of my trip but it was rectified and all was well. I stayed in the Narnia room, which gave me more than enough space. The drinks at the bar are unique and tasty. also want to call out the AC, kept my room nice and cold throughout my stay. Fernando and Ian are really cool people. I especially enjoyed celebrating my birthday with them and an amazing group of people. My sister also worked with Freya (amazing concierge) to arrange a personal birthday surprise. Overall a great find, and I plan to come back, highly recommended. Tips: Transportation: Rent a car at the airport, you'll need this to explore Aruba independently.. plus taxis add up. I made the mistake of renting after the fact and I feel like the price was nearly double. Food: While the hotel provides food it requires a 24hr request in advance. I ate out everyday, exploring different places based on local recommendations, other travelers and Google. Recommendations: Dutch PancakeHouse, Perfert Shot Cafe, Wendy's (good last resort), Hanasaki Sushi Bar, L.G Smith's Steak & Chop House, Old Cunucu House, I didn't try but heard Zeerover is worth a visit. Cost-- Aruba is expensive. Expect to pay more than what seems fair. Bring cash, you pay less since fees are not added like w/ credit. Health-- If you don't know, the sun is no joke in Aruba, bring plenty of sunscreen, reapply frequently, especially at the beach and apply sun aftercare (e.g. Aloe).

Beautiful resort!! It is more family orientated. If you want to party, this is not the resort to stay because you have to go out of the resort.
