Top Donkey Sanctuary Hotel Reviews

sweet chalet in paradise

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic 11-day stay at this wonderful property! Having access to their private pool during the hot summer days made our trip extra special and relaxing. The host was exceptionally warm, welcoming, and always helpful whenever we had questions or needed recommendations. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish—we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would love to return!"

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."

Bella Horizonte - Beachfront 7

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at this property several times and it never disappoints. Comfortable and clean apartment with a great view. Good swimming and snorkeling right across the street. Employees and hosts were friendly and responsive during the stay. Communication prior to the stay was not great however. I got no responses to multiple messages over several weeks within the VRBO app when I needed to amend our reservation. I finally got a response by sending an instagram message and they responded and gave me a WhatsApp contact. Other than the poor communication before our arrival it was a perfect experience."

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"

Bella Horizonte - Beachfront 4

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property have stayed here before just differed unit. Is clean beautiful view. No beach chairs so need to rent communication through Verbo is non existent . Would recommend if you like quiet and relaxing instead of crowds"

Caribbean Corner Home "Tropical"

8/10 Good

"House has a great outdoors. It is a little on the old side but that is part of the charm. The host was amazing! Very responsive and kind. Anything we could have needed for the beach was available to us.Nothing they can do about this issue….the neighbors dogs are very loud and bark a lot."

Private 2 bedr property with amazing view. A 5min drive to Mangel Halto Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Ein tolles Haus mit Charakter und Geschichte! Sehr schöne Lage mit Blick auf das Land und das Meer.Die Terrasse ist traumhaft, um tagsüber oder abends zu entspannen.Hier kann man nichts falsch machen :)"

3-bedroom house with private pool in wonderful Pos Chiquito

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The pool was fantastic and became one of our favorite places to unwind after a day of exploring Aruba.We rented a car, and the location was perfect. It was just far enough from the busy tourist areas to enjoy some peace and quiet, yet only a short drive to the beaches, restaurants, and everything downtown has to offer. It really gave us the best of both worlds.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting Aruba. We would be happy to stay here again on a future trip!"

Cute beach apartment

8/10 Good

"The checkin process was difficult. In the checkin instructions on hotels.com which I didn't read state that you need to message them 24 hours in advance to get your check in instructions. Of course we didn't so we show up and it's not like a normal hotel with a reception desk so we didn't know what to do. I called the phone number on the contact page and of course it didn't work. It had a link to message them so I did and I got no immediate response. We decided to go to dinner while we waited and about 45 minutes later we got a response that the manager would meet us there in 30 min and she did and we got into our room. That was a little unnerving but when we got into the room it was full of mosquitos. Luckily the manager was still there so they moved us to another room which was fine, no mosquitos. The bad part is the new room was booked for the next day so we had to move to another room which wasted our vacation time but it was also good and mosquito free. So the place isn't perfect but they try to take care of you. The price was pretty good but you have to know it comes with less services. Would I recommend the place? Maybe, it depends on your budget and risk tolerance. The location is awesome. The Mangel Halto beach is amazing and you are steps from it."
