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.

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

It's a new hotel with a very beautiful design concept and vibe. The room is very big, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was very comfortable and clean as well. It's definitely better to have a car if you are staying there. Communication with staff was done through the hotel's app, and it was very efficient.

Wonderful Stay at Aruba Boutique & Art Hotel – Highly Recommended!
My wife and I spent 7 unforgettable days at the Aruba Boutique & Art Hotel, and it was the perfect vacation. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed and at home. The entire experience was relaxing and enjoyable every single day.
What stood out the most was the exceptional staff – they were truly professional, polite, always smiling, and went out of their way to be helpful. Whether it was assistance with recommendations, poolside service, or anything else, they made us feel valued and cared for.
The hotel's unique art theme added a special touch, with beautiful pieces throughout the lobby and property. Our room was comfortable and clean, the pool area was a lovely spot to unwind, and the location was convenient for exploring nearby beaches like Palm Beach.
We couldn't have asked for a better stay and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you to the whole team for making our trip so memorable!

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.

Situated in Palm-Eagle Beach, 600 metres from Palm Beach, Radisson Blu Aruba features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden.
Guest review
The suite was very beautiful, silent and clean (Ms. Sonia was excellent!). The breakfast was great (we tried both options, à-la-carte and buffet, both were delicious). The hotel was just a short walk away from the beach (there was also a free shuttle with Mr Santos, very nice guy!) and from most of the restaurants/stores of Palm Beach. The concierge was very helpful and she always had a great smile on her face.

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.

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.
