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.

Fantastic quiet property located just behind the large high rise hotels. The staff were very helpful especially when our room flooded due to torrential rain. They moved us straight away to another room.
Decent breakfast options

We LOVED the peaceful MVC accommodations. Its directly across from Eagle Beach. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Its super clean and the breakfast exceeded our expectations. The pool was so small, but we spent all our time at the beach.

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.
Located in Oranjestad and with Surfside Beach reachable within less than 1 km, Victoria City Hotel provides concierge services, rooms, a terrace, free WiFi throughout the property and a restaurant.
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.
