You could do with a car to get around to the local supermarkets and other restaurants (We didn't have one which was our choice) but it would make life easier, there is a bus service at the end of the road which is good and you can get around the island with a flat fare of 4.5 AWG for each individual trip. My only reason for not giving a rating of 10 is there is no hot water supply to the bathroom or kitchen taps for some reason the shower is electric and very good.

The apartments are large and well equipped the owners live on site and are very friendly and helpful it's a short walk to the nearest beach (15 mins) there are 3 restaurants close by but are quite expensive. The outside area at the apartments is lovely with a brilliant pool lots of beds and chairs with shade if you need it, they have free towels to use around the pool or to take to the beach, the apartments are cleaned daily to a high standard.

Needed a tray in kitchen to carry food to outside table. Also needed something for washing dishes (sponge, detergent). Some instructions in English for stove and microwave.

Pool, birds, garden, hosts.

Stayed in March 2024

No hot water in the bathroom or kitchen sinks and the jacuzzi was not heated. Not having an oven or blender in the kitchen.

We liked the location, quiet but still close to everything. We liked the lights and landscaping around the pool. The hosts were friendly and the pool area was beautiful with lots of places to sit.

Quiet and lovely, intimate grounds with few people and no music being blasted at the pool area. It was down to earth and perfect for older folks, like my 86 year old mom, who enjoyed hanging out at the pool and cooking meals in our kitchen. This is NOT a party place.

We needed to each take turns sleeping solo on the pullout couch bed-mattress — because after 2-3 nights on it, each of us experienced some back discomfort. The mattress was not sturdy enough to comfortably sleep adults in the 180 lb -ish weight range. .

Louisa & the other many birds & animals, aloe Vera, gardens, hosts, location, air conditioning, TV with CNN etc, pool/towels, meeting other guests. And the many water activities & hiking options. Closeness of grocery stores. Easy to walk to the beach.

Not a dislike but you'll need a rental car if you want to explore the island and want to shop at the big grocery store called Super Foods. There is free parking right next to the apts. You can walk to the nearby north beaches in 5 minutes.

The apt style living - extra rooms, cooking/full kitchen, patio area, AC bedroom with comfy beds, TV options, quiet, lovely clean pool with many lounge chairs, daily cleaning if you want.

No dish soap in the apt asked the hosts and they gave us some. Our toilet over flooded

Sleep number beds! The housekeeper, Mila, kept our apt spotless daily. 5 minute walk to the sea. We did not rent a car and we had plenty of beaches to relax at!

The owners are so friendly. The atmosphere is so private and laid back. It gets you away from the busy hotels and truly allows you to relax. 100 out of 10. We won't be staying anywhere else when we go back.

A collapsible drying rack would be nice.

Lovely back yard oasis with a pool and a parrot and tortoises. Beautiful flowers and many colorful birds. Great snorkelling and kite surfing 5 minutes away.

We booked an apartment for 3 weeks and owner switched us to a studio for the last week due to “an honest booking mistake”

No restaurants or bars in walking distance. Definitely need a car to get around.

I liked that it was a family run business with the owners on the property. Loved the pool area and the location of the apartments. Great snorkeling right down the street and away from all the hustle and bustle. Plenty of parking.

Our 2nd time there in last 12 months. Perfect location, clean, peaceful ✌️ love the staff and all the animals at the property.

Everything was lovely.

Absolutely LOVED our winter holiday at Bananas Apartments! Very clean, comfortable, and quiet beautiful getaway from the hustle and bustle of hotel complexes. Ton and his family were amazing hosts and so kind, always happy to answer our questions. A wise word of for potential guests: this gem is best suited for those who had been to Aruba before and have a good grasp of the area, or want to do mostly water sports or snorkeling/hiking/active holiday in the area. It is located quite far from supermarkets and cafes, with only a couple restaurants nearby, so it’s great for people who like to cook for themselves on vacation or are renting a car.

nothing! it was perfect!

The property was gorgeous and well maintained. I loved the lights for the holiday season and all of the animals - dogs, turtles, and parrot. The pool and whirlpool were clean and a great temperature! The apartment I stayed in was clean and comfortable. There were cleaning services everyday as well. I loved the location of the Banana Apartments as well. Ton, Angelique and their family were gracious, kind and thoughtful hosts. This is truly was an unforgettable experience.
