Vacationer BEWARE
Before you book here: The amenities stated on its site were not included in our stay. It was missing things such as the hair blower, tea kettle, coffee maker, iron, ironing board, beach towels, and blankets. In addition: The safe was broken, the wifi doesn't reach the second floor, the stairs to the second floor only has one railing, the washer/dryer only accepts local currency, the shampoo/bodywash dispensers don't work and there are ANTS. There is only one off-site maintenance person to directly contact who doesn't have a good command of the english language, took a day to replace a light bulb and picks up phone calls when he wants to. Hotels.com was contacted and even they were unable to reach him for over a day. We were forced to check out two days into the stay due to sleep deprevation. The bed sheets might be due for a cleaning as well because we were itching throughout the nights. Aruba Tropic Apartments have not provided anything substantial to help with the situation except informing us that they will use bug spray and it is a "self-serving" site.

Small place, quiet, perfect for me! Pool is beautifully lit up at night, grill available outside, kitchenette in each unit. Carlos was very friendly. Saying hello every day and asking how I was doing without being intrusive. I feel I could have asked for anything. Walking distance to a few stores for supplies. Taxis know where it is...even though it's hidden in a neighborhood in the middle of the island away from the touristy places!

Fair price for a nice and cozy hotel. I took a 2 bedroom suite with my colleague, and everything was clean and well kept. The location is a bit off the grid. But the pool is nice and the hotel is quier, great for resting and chilling by the sun and pool. Beach is a not near

My husband and I stayed in Apartment number 2. This apartment is a studio with a spacious closet and a queen size bed. The apartment has a little table with two chairs and a kitchen with enough appliances for two, the fridge is small size. There is a TV with lots of channels for the moments that you only want to lay down and watch a movie (after a long day enjoying the island). The complex is such a relaxing place, although in the morning you will hear a rooster, so no worries about an alarm :) This did not bother us and if it does you can always use plugs (I did that two nights). It is super easy to communicate with the managers through whatsapp they are very responsive and willing to assist you. In addition, Carlos is always around asking about your day and recommending new adventures, he is great! There is an area to hang up your wet clothes and also they facilitate coolers (we bought one and then realized they had some). The location is great to get to every single corner of the island that is what we were looking for! My husband and I were really happy with Aruba Tropic Apartment and Aruba! Such a happy island :)

The room was surprisingly spacious. A very private setting. Very happy with the property. The only issue is that it is very hard to find the first time. Use GPS to Wendy's and then go behind the Wendy's. I will use these apartments again.

Nice place at great price.
This is a great place for a few day stay. Not having daily maid service would keep from staying more than few days since there is no washer/dryer and the towels don’t get changed out. They are very responsive as we had a tv not work at check in and within a few hours the tv was replaced. Would definitely stay again for few days at end of vacation as we did this time.

Highly Recommended!!
We loved the stort stay. The place is so quite, nice and relaxing. The check-in went very smooth with the instructions we received from Angelique. It is recommended to contact the property before your arrival to receive the check-in information. Even though there is no reception office, communication with the property manager went very smoothly. They were always ready to assist us with any information. The location is also good, within 10 minutes with car we were in Palm Beach and Downtown (hotel strip). I recommend this place if you want something more privete and not on the crowded strip of the hotel and restaurants/bars. Looking forward to stay again at Aruba Tropic.

Excellent Accommodation!!
Our stay in Aruba was perfect. Room was very clean. The place is peaceful, private and beautiful. We love the garden and pool. Perfect place to relax if you are looking for something more private. If you need assistance just ask Angelique (the owner), she will make it happen. We recommend to rent a car! You can also use taxi on the island.

a real challenge
This place was difficult to find, it was down a dirt road off what was considered somewhat a main road . many wild dogs in the area some attacked my car driving by. power went out one day and one of the other guests had to find facility electrical service and we were lucky he was able to reset a breaker. No one around the entire time we were there. The cleaning lady was there when people left. Our room ,the floor was full of sand and we did our best to sweep it up with towels , Also my wife got bitten up bad buy some bugs the first night we were there , Next day a local told us to put Vicks vapor rub on our bodies and that would keep them away. This much I will say we left the place much nicer than we found it , that's due to my wife and I being very respectful people. All in all it really wasn't to bad once you got use to the environment , the price was reasonable so the bottom line is we had a wonderful time in Aruba for a week for a fair price.
Response from Angelique on Jan 16, 2018
Hi John, i am sorry you to read the complaints, i wished you would have contacted me if you were bothered or had any questions. My name and number were on the info we sent you and in the information brochure in the room. I was there a few times and you were not. But i have met your wife one day and she did not mention anything. We send the driving instructions and we recommend a gps app so it will be easy to find. The dogs are not that wild; they like chasing cars, they are the neighbors dogs and we still have no law in place to protect the animals, unfortunately. I was told that the power went off in the morning but the lady told me they fixed it. I have not heard about the electrical outage until after, also it concerned the two story apartment and not your unit. The property has no daily maid service and this is clearly mentioned in the information, we would have been more than happy to provide your apartment service, you just had to contact me. By the way there is a little broom next to the fridge. Once again i am sorry to read your complaints but glad to read that you enjoyed Aruba.

Bad Experience because I booked a room with 2 beds And I got one bed.this bed supposed to be for 1 person not 2.My stay was 5 nights.The 2th night I started getting a big back pain.Also one side of the bed was attached to the wall.To get down of that beautiful bed,I had to jump on the other pers.I strongly believe that I deserved a better treatment since I lost $ 452 for not showing(passport expired)

Amazing experience, I will always stay here!
The front door has a code, so only the people who stay in the complex can get in. The pool is relaxing and changes colors at night (blue, red green etc) so cute. They have a lot of lawn chairs so you can sit out and relax and even floaties! The room is great it has whole kitchenette area, even rags, utensils, plates/bows/cups/pots etc. There is also a dining table with placemats and napkins. There is no room service to bother you, they leave you enough rags, towels and toilet paper to last your stay..if needed you can call The only thing I suggest is gettin some type of laundry basket for used towels and rags. It is less than 10 min away from palm beach!

Hi Barbara i am very sorry to hear this, i never received any calls from you and we could not send an email through the expedia messaging service that did not work. We request clients to contact us before they arrive (it is mentioned in your reservation) so we can send them the driving instructions and also the check in instructions, since we did not hear from you we were not sure if you would arrive or not. My apologies for this, should you ever want to try again let me know i will personally guide you to find it.

Great hidden gem
Far from the beach but the pool is great, the sun hits the patio perfectly (perfect sun/shade ratio) and the rooms are awesome. Relaxed atmosphere, the staff literally "disappear" so it feels like a condo vacation. Highly recommended, but maybe a rent a car if you're planning on doing beach days or going out.

The apartments are very good value for money although quite basic.there are shops and local restaurants within 2 mins walk but it is remote. The gardens are lovely and very well looked after you need to hire a car as you can't walk to the beach.
