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.

A little piece of paradise in the city. The owner and staff were really helpful and friendly. The hotel provides you with beach chairs and coolers etc. The room is clean and has the carribean vibe. The breakfast is delicious.

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.

Guest review
During check in, I was met by Leyonardho, from the front desk, who immediately took care of me and made me feel welcomed the minute I arrived
Together with the manager, Gabriel. They both went out of their way to change my experience in Aruba for the better and it’s safe to say they definitely did so!
Leyonardho and Gabriel are truly wonderful assets to the hotel, and I hope to get to experience their outstanding service again during my next stay in Arub

Guest review
Nicely refurbished room and bathroom with a small convenient fridge in the room itself. Clean and pleasant.
In the hallway on the 2nd floor there is coffee machine, water machine, icemaker and microwave, workplace plus pleasant balcony to sit out.
Loved the room we had and the price was worth it. Definite worth it for 4days with breakfast included.
Nice, friendly and welcoming staff from the reception, with delicious breakfast and attentive room service.
If/when I'll return to Aruba again. I will choose/consider this hotel above any of the luxury ones at Eagle or Palm beach.

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.
Featuring an extensive garden, a sun terrace with swimming pool and free WiFi throughout, Coconut Inn is 5 minutes’ drive from Palm Beach and 2 km from South Beach.
