Breakfast in the courtyard was lovely. The pool was a dream and very clean. Our entire stay was so relaxing at Wonders. The staff does an incredible job.

What a great (& affordable!) option near Aruba’s best beaches. We stayed here a week, had a wonderful time, and plan to stay here again.
The location is an 8-minute drive to Eagle and Palm Beaches, or a 15-minute drive to Arashi Beach farther north (rental car essential)… Aruba is so easy to drive and navigate. And if you prefer to avoid the sand, the charming pool is a great option. Our 7-year old loved it, though most of the time we were the only ones using it.
The outdoor dining area is lovely, with plenty of tables and benches, though some of the wood chairs aren’t very comfortable; others have cushions. The cafe is great, with a basic menu and plenty of caffeinated options. Service isn’t rushed so feel free to linger.
Onsite parking is convenient and beach towels are provided and changed on cleaning days (not daily; and by the way the cleaning lady is just delightful).
The room interiors are clean though basic. Our room (#8) had two queen beds, firm and very comfortable. There wasn’t too much sunlight - just a small kitchen window and a medium-sized window facing the pool area. We used the air conditioning only half the time as the place was naturally cool. The bathroom was modern and clean. Having a stove was essential, as it allowed us to prepare breakfast before leaving and cook dinner at the end of the day; as you probably know, food in Aruba is not cheap.
And the hotel is very peaceful. There was one clueless idiot who felt it was necessary to slam some doors at 3am one night - hopefully he never comes back. Otherwise it was quiet.
It was also helps to manage expectations. RH isn’t rustic but modern, basic by many standards but likely upscale by many island standards at this price. If you are looking for “luxury”, you’ll need to spend quadruple the amount (or easily more at some of the high end $$$ hotels & villas).
There is also a barbecue area out back that needs to be reserved at the front desk but we didn’t use it this time around.
This Aruba hotel features rooms with microwaves and refrigerators. The hotel is one miles from the Queen Beatrix International Airport and offers an outdoor pool and free WiFi in all areas.

Condo was spacious & equipped so that you can cook food if you want. Great deck with furniture to utilize. Great little private (for guests only) deck with chairs, kayak, on the water looking at the Bay & Marina. Lots of parking. Great place to eat at the Marina called The Fish House. The owner was amazingly fast at responding to any question I had by text.

Oranjestad has a few nice areas for visitors with restaurants, bars and shopping. The water is spectacular! It's easy to get around by taxi or bus. Aruba is very breezy and the sun is hot - so lots of high quality sunscreen is a necessity along with a secure hat. We enjoyed happy hour and small plates at Cuba's Cookin' in the Renaissance Marketplace - try the mojitos!

Most visitors are from the cruise ships, and spend a day here. We enjoyed & days of which 3 days were snorkeling on 3 different beaches (more and we would have been roasted by the sun). The town, and especially the museum is very interesting - very Dutch.
We didn't do much shopping, there didn't seem much (apart for Dutch food in the supermarket) that we couldn't have bought anywhere. Lots of kitchy souvenirs near the cruise terminal. If you like fresh fish, it is well worth taking the bus (or driving) to the "fish market" at Spanish Cove. It is just a couple of sheds on the waterfront where the fish are landed and sold by local small-scale fishermen, who will also clean and fillet for you.

I enjoyed staying right in Oranjestad because I had many options for dining out in the evening. I rented a car so I was able to go to either side of the island pretty easily from there. The Arubus station is right there so I think it would be fairly easy to take that up to Eagle beach if one didn't want to rent a car. I was in town for part of Carnival so it was fun to watch that also.
My photos are of Eagle Beach, Tres Trapi, and Baby Beach. Oranjestad restaurants: Pastechi House, Lucy's - mahi sandwich, West Deck - fish/shrimp, and Dutch Pancake House - Dutch Pancake.

The island is very easy to navigate by auto. Many choices for food and shopping at the super market to grill out is a good way to save money for nights you don't desire to eat out. Sunsets are beautiful most every evening. Go to Boca Catalina snorkeling to see the Sea Turtles. If you want to feel young and vibrant go to Moomba Beach Club on Sunday evening.

careful with the taxi drivers - they dont pay attention to get you to the right destination!
also - very disappointed in Zara at the renaissance shops - its a cruise port and hotel and they wouldn't allow you in with a small suitcase - shame on them
did have a very nice dinner at wilamena - highly recommend!
This hotel represents what customer service should be like: personal, flexible, and caring. I've never experienced such a wonderful environment thanks to the staff and amenities. You could borrow beach bags and snorkeling equipment. There was flexible checkout and support when our flight was cancelled last minute. And yummy breakfast every day. Also the pool area is gorgeous and relaxing. An incredible stay and i can't recommend it enough. It's the perfect getaway - even from the overly touristy and expensive Palm Beach resorts!
Even though it was a 25-minute-walk from the town centre, I was so happy to have booked here and not in one of the big hotels. I loved the friendly and family-like atmosphere. Easy to meet other guests and yet have your own private area.
And the Surfside Beach was in easy walking distance with lovely beach clubs for chilling at sunset in a relaxed atmosphere instead of a crowdwd party mile.
I liked nearly everything, especially sitting on the balcony I liked very much. Very spacious. Very quite inside, even if the outside might be quite noisy. Good aircondition. Very nice and helpful staff. Great location directly in the city between harbour and main bus station. Beaches (Surfside and Druif) still within walking distance (1.x km). So my negatives are only rather minor things.
I really appreciated Maritza meeting us and telling us about the amenities, etc. It's a wonderfully clean, modern, spacious, comfortable ground floor apartment with a marvelous pool, sleek white/turquoise decor. Fully equipped kitchen/laundry. Netflix for free. The bedding and towels were all so soft and the soaps smelled so lovely! It's about a 5 minute drive into ORANJESTAD.
Room, amenities, were great. Shelly was really nice to us. Gave us extra towels. We were early to the hotel on our first day and needed to keep our bags so she let us keep them at their office. She also let us use the washroom to change and freshen up. That early check-in really helped us get the trip started on a good note.
More positive aspects are the balcony in the front of the room (with a great view of the sea where they served us breakfast) and the cost-benefit considering the overpriced hotels at Palm Beach and Eagle Beach (in case you rent a car for visiting more parts of the island).
The staff is very friendly and we loved them all.
Beautiful very new modernly decorated apartment above some shops. Small kitchen washer dryer and 4 beach chairs. 2 separate bathrooms and bedrooms. Facing the Oranjestad trolley track on the back of complex. Go visit the “Super food plaza” lots of great Dutch food items and try a “Broodje Kroket” at food court.
We liked the staff
We liked the location of the hotel relative to the downtown area
We liked the service in general
We liked the open conversation area on the second floor (big balcony with seats)
We liked the shower room in the bathroom
One of the best stays overall!
The host is super responsive and supportive.
The property is maintained exceptionally well and I was surprised to find all the amenities you'd normally expect at big chain hotels that charge a lot more.
Cozy charming hotel, large room, comfortable bed and pillows, nice pool in the garden, tasty breakfast, friendly staff, 3 min walking to the beach, vouchers for deck chairs and umbrellas on the beach, no insects in the room
Friendly helpful staff, gorgeous courtyard with lovely surroundings, birds chirping in the trees.
It was like a little oasis from the typical touristy resorts. Wonders Boutique Hotel is charming.
Maurice was great and responsive. The property was spacious and clean. The pool was a nice addition. Convenience location to Oranjestad and Eagle beach.
