For winter escapes, it's hard to beat the consistently warm island of Aruba. Situated in the south Caribbean, it showcases everything you'd expect from a picture of paradise –immaculate white-sand beaches, diving excursions to shipwrecks and swaying palm trees. Every day, cruise ships ferry over tourists from neighbouring islands to the Aruba’s capital of Oranjestad, keen to experience its energetic nightlife or shop for keepsakes at one of the famous jewellery stores. The town is also a great base for watersports. Diving schools cater for all abilities and offer views of everything from coral reefs to sunken World War II boats. The island's constant, cool breeze also makes it a hotspot for windsurfing and parasailing. Aruba is a beach mecca, offering everything from quiet retreats to bustling sunbathing sites. Situated in Oranjestad, Eagle Beach is generally thought of as one of the best beaches in the world. Throw your towel down on the soft, white sand and keep an eye out for newly hatched turtles making their first expedition into the turquoise ocean. Away from the pristine shores, Aruba has a striking desert terrain along its north coast. Jeep safaris and tours are available and make for an easy way to take in the jagged rock formations and colourful Cunucu houses. You can further immerse yourself in nature by visiting a bird sanctuary, butterfly farm or horseback riding through the countryside. Aruba features a wealth of first-class hotels and beach resorts, particularly along the northwestern coast of the island. If you prefer a more personal stay, a number of private homes or exclusive villas are available to rent out all year round.

Guest review
The vibe is really great and the casitas are super cute as they are all individual houses. Definitely has the luxury boutique feeling. Inside the property, it has enough amenities and even ice box for the beach. Everything is very well thought through, we have had a super stay. It gives you a feeling that you are in the forest as it’s surrounded by palm trees.
The hotel staff are super helpful and Demy has been a star for us during our stay. Her level of service has been personal and great in human touch, we really appreciate her effort of finding us the perfect restaurant. We feel so comfortable and well looked after.

We enjoyed our stay so much. It is clean, comfortable, the breakfast is great and the garden area around the pool is beautiful. There was enough space to park our rental car inside and it was nice to be able to change the beach towels whenever it was necessary. Teska was such an incredibly nice host, her friendliness was always a pleasure. And the cat Lex was a lovely companion too, he spent nearly every morning and evening with us :D

Situated across from Eagle Beach, and offering free WiFi, this family hotel is located in a quiet area and offers relaxing facilities for a memorable Caribbean vacation.
Guest review
It's a small hotel but perfect to just relax. The staff is very kind and the room is enough. The beach is very close and the option of having chairs on the beach as a courtesy from the hotel is great. The beach is simply beautiful and you can stay there the whole day as there are plenty of restaurants nearby to eat. Particularly, I would recommend the Chalet Suisse, all the staff and the food were absolutely fantastic.

Budget boutique hotel.in the city center.
The property has been recently refurbished and staff couldn't be more helpful.
Even though if next to a parking lot, it's very quiet.
