Modern Hotel Aruba

Excellent place to stay off the beaten path. Walking distance to beach/ restaurants/ entertainment.

Very nice place to kick back and relax. It was walkable to where i needed to do business and walkable to the beach and more...

We really enjoyed the pool area and the walkable distance to restaurants and entertainment. The maintenance and cleaning of the property seems to be a lot for one person. I would get a different room than the loft suite as it is small and has difficult stairs with no railing to hold onto up to the loft bed. We knew there were steps, but felt they were slightly dangerous once we saw them in person. The bed in loft is also very uncomfortable and lumpy. That was disappointing to us. We got there and there was no microwave but the owner went out and got us one and that was very helpful as we planned to make breakfast in the room several days. Toaster oven worked great! We would stay again but would get a different room.

Pros: Good location, nice, spacious, updated room. The pool area was very nice with lots of seating. Comfortable bed. Cons: It is not a hotel as advertised, it's a guest house. Also there is no front desk as listed on *******. Our cell does not work on the island so the only way we could communicate with the host was by email. We luckily saw a maid when we arrived or we would have not known how to get into our room. We were there for 5 days and never saw anyone except the maid, and only twice during our entire stay. Our room was only cleaned once. We had the pool room and there was a large awning that made a lot of noise in the wind, which is always in Aruba. Also our bathroom door did not close.

There was a mouse in our hotel room and they did nothing to help us. No refund or even a mouse trap to try and attempt to help. Overall nice place besides that.

My only issue was we did not have hot water as listed on the property when we booked the reservation

We really enjoyed this property. We booked the Moroccan Room, which was really cute. We arrived earlier than check in, and we were allowed to check in to the room early. The pool area was really cool and relaxed. The property was near a trail that took us right to the Marriott properties, which saved a lot of time walking. The property was also an 5-20 minute walk from most places in Noord and Palm beach areas. The air conditioning in the room was amazing as well. The property manager reached out to me during the stay to see how our stay was and if we had any issues. They had a list of restaurants and taxis with numbers to call if needed. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for something cheaper while still being close to everything.

Very well cared for property, felt like a labor of love. Generous management let us have our room several hours before check in time when all we asked for was a place to put our bags while we waited. An air conditioning problem was fixed within a half hour of reporting it. Really nice peaceful pool area, attractive neighborhood about 15 minutes walk to the Palm Beach action. We had the Tropical suite at the front of the property and we loved the decor and convenience, but perhaps we would try a different room with a little more view another time. If you dislike cookie cutter corporate properties, this is a great choice. You could get away without renting a car if you’re only interested in the Palm Beach area but I’d suggest renting a car to explore the other quieter beaches with terrific snorkeling.

I liked the place. Very good to stay some days
