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
Absolutely wonderful stay. Every staff member incredibly kind, the place clean and neat, delicious breakfast ("customisable" omelettes, fresh green juice and fruits, pancakes, great variety of foods), and the shuttle to the beach at any time. The AC broke in my initial room so I got a new one with an upgrade.

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
The breakfast was beautiful and a schedule from 7-30 am to 10-30 am is sufficient for everybody. It was one of the reasons we picked up the hotel. The hotel is in 15 meters from the gate to the Eagle Beach entrance. All the day you can use hotel’s beach chairs and fresh beach towels were always available at the reception. If you come earlier, before 9 am, you have a good chance to have a palapa for the day. The hotel’s yard was calm and nice. The hotel has it’s own tennis court, small pool, a washer and a dryer. The parking lot behind the hotel is huge and has plenty available space. The SuperFood store is in 3 minutes driving. Don’t forget to visit Daily Fish cafe in the same as SuperFoods building.

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.
