Top Oranjestad Hotel Reviews

Divi Aruba All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, great rooms, 11/10!!!"

voco Surfside Aruba by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean and the staff was wonderful. I would definitely stay here again. I love a small boutique hotel"

Wonders Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We were looking for a quiet place just to relax and disappear for a while. We booked Wonders hoping to get that. We were not disappointed. We spent a lot of time just sitting in the loungers under an umbrella and using the pool. The room that we stayed in, had more than we expected, so it made things very easy. There was nothing better than exploring the entire island, but knowing we were coming back here to wind down..."

Eagle Aruba Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We've been to Eagle Aruba multiple times now and it is always up to great standards. The staff is interactive and pleasant. The amenities are wonderful and such a great location."

Vistalmar Ocean Suites

8/10 Good

"This property is not on a white sand beach or any other beach. Across the street there is a dock that you can sit on but there is not truly a beach area where one can go relax and lay in the sun in the sand. The property is nice but is practically in the backyard of the airport so there is a constant sound from large jets arriving and departing Aruba. The property does provide towels but you only get 2 to start. You can ask for fresh towels but if you want fresh towels every day you might have to pay a fee for that. The laundry facilities also come at a pretty steep price. We were told $25 for unlimited usage of the laundry while we were there. We decided to just bring our clothes home and wash them. The property overall was clean and well accommodated but does not include everything it is advertised to include."
