“Great Value! Great vacation location!”

Club Arias was a great find. An rare gem of a resort bed and breakfast. Within short travel distance from the airport, downtown and the usual tourist sites....by car or by bus. With only 10 suites and limited number of guests, their is definitely the opportunity to meet other guests, and not be just a room number. The breakfasts served up reminded me of the home cooked ones. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The owner, Arias, is approachable, friendly and very helpful. Everything you need is on the premises, comfy rooms, food, and excellent pools and outdoor shower facilities. Tours are available as well. Club Arias is a great place for a vacation and relaxation. I highly recommend it.

“Arias is t he best”

* great personal service * beautiful hotel * nice pools * beautiful details (rocks, paintings (made by Arias' mum!), accessoires in room, et cetera) * personal breakfast (a la carte) * Great facilities

“can't wait to go back”

very quiet place with large rooms, beautiful weather, great beaches within a short distance. loved the pools, and service was excellent. saw a lot of things here that you wouldn't see at large hotels, such as beautiful gardens and natural wildlife. if you want to stay at a nice quiet place off the beaten path, then this is the place for you without a doubt. breakfast here was excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful

“What an incredible place to stay!!!”

An incredible place to stay...in an incredible place!!! It is difficult to overstate how happy I was with the Club Arias. On an island where you can stay at 5-star, beach-side, mega-resorts...having stayed at the Club Arias...I wouldn't even CONSIDER staying anywhere else. The customer service is unparalleled, the rooms are gorgeous...perfectly fitting of the island environment. the cleanliness is exceptional (I'm a doctor and meticulously try to keep from getting the infectious diseases that I learned about in medical school. So I'm not easy to please when it comes to cleanliness. my room// kitchenette/sinks/refridg/bathroom/shower were spotless. conveniently, Arias has all of the "stuff" available that you need to enjoy your island experience: high quality snorkling equipment (you can literally have your own private bay/coral reef in a THOUSAND places around the island...all by yourself); beach chairs, playmate/ice chest, beach towels, etc. super easy to swing by the local markets and pick up lunch stuff/food/drinks en route to your own private beach/snorkling bay. this is not overstated because the ENTIRE coast/beach of the island is PUBLIC. no "private" inaccessible areas. Rather than simply go on and on with superlatives....let me just summarize: If you like the perfect combination of accessable activity...with an incredibly private, quiet, "isolated" feel when you're lodging...don't miss the the C.A. Trust me...you CAN'T do better than this in the Caribbean!!!

“Beautiful resort in secluded area”

This resort is a 10 room bed and breakfast. The owners take great pride in the resort and make you feel at home. It is located on a more secluded end of the island and is not on a beach, but there are beaches within walking distance. Buses do run to the resort, but the area is best explored by car. The landscaping is fantastic (cave-like rock structures, tropical plants) and makes you feel as though you've landed on your own private tropical island. Complimentary pool, ping pong, foosball, snorkel gear, and beach chairs are a plus. Spa-like amenities in the room are a pleasant surprise. Give Club Arias a try to get away from the crowds in the hotel area and to truly kick back and relax and enjoy the tropics of Aruba.

“Can't wait to visit!”

We actually got snowed in and were unable to catch a flight out of New York. We were pretty disappointed at the fact that we could not go, but the owner was so accomodating and helpful with rescheduling our trip. He gave us his personal cell number and let us reschudule our trip for July, without charging us a transfer fee. We chose this hotel based on the recommendation of a friend and we are definately glad we did. The owner is even gave us a room upgrade. It was a bummer not to be able to go in December, but we couldn't be happier with the way the owner worked with us and we can't wait to get down there for vacation!

“My private home away from home”

We just love the peace and quiet, the decor, the pools, the food, the music, the landscaping, and course "Arias"

“Probably the best location in Aruba”

the arias club was all perfect,the suite exceedes all expactations,very warm and friendly athmosphere,that you cannot find in big hotels where you are treated (and you are) just a number. More: it is not a restaurant, but the chef at Arias can arrange for you an excellent dinner, exactly what you want. People looking for ordinary hotel experience stay away.All other are suggested to try.

“The best place to enjoy the island! We are back home -- and ready to go back”

For our 1st vacation in over 10 years. Expectations were high, and we were not at all disappointed! Club Airas was the best part of our vacation. The island was beautiful, but not as much as Club Aries facility, service, staff, and rooms. Arias, Flory, James, Chef Gabriel, and Gloria made our stay an experience we can’t compare to any other. It was personalized for us even before we arrived, with a call to see if we would like anything in the room when we arrived, and offer a ride from the airport. Aires and the staff were friendly, ready to offer anything that would help us enjoy our stay, from restaurants, beaches, and shopping, to supplying beach chairs and snorkeling gear. I loved the choice of an outdoor shower too. There were fresh baked goodies from Chef Gabriel every afternoon, and even a BBQ by the pool with us! The quiet, pristine grounds were very impressive, pools were clean and because there are only 10 units, all ours alone most of the time. The plants and trees are beautiful, and everything was very clean. There is always something to do with 2 pools, ping pong, pool table, library with DVDs and books. They even have a phone we could use to make free calls home. James provided us with service that went beyond the expected. He even made arrangements with the rental car company to come retrieve A key that was locked inside the car! Because of them all, our next vacation will most likely be to Aruba, and Club Arias. All in all: excellent vacation in Aruba!

“Club Arias "A Memorable Experience"”

Club Arias is not for everyone. It is for the adventurous who love hospitality, serenity, personal service, and detail. Upon arrival, you will find a funky exterior which appeals to the adventurous. Once you pass through the tunnel which leads to the interior, you will pass into paradise. The gardens feature orchids and a variety of other plants. You will dodge green breasted hummingbirds on the way to your room. You will pass two beautiful pools, one which invites you to sit in lounge chairs next to the bar while keeping cool. Our room was Suite 1 which was immaculate and next to the pool. I can't imagine a better scenario for honeymooners! There is a 24 hour lemonade dispensary and the play area features a pool table, foosball, and table tennis for the kids. Details include art in the rooms, a great T.V., video and DVD player, extensive library which includes books, DVDs and VHS movies, candles(imagine!), a fridge, microwave, toaster oven, and others. If you are looking for a hotel where you will be part of a family, this is it. The personal attention of Arias and his wife is unparalleled The only thing we regret is the permit for the Pizza parlor had not yet been approved when we arrived. Master Chef Gabriel offered to make us a Pizza anyway, but we did not want to impose. The price you pay for another hotel would be so high that you could afford Club Arias and rent a car as well. Club Arias is Arias and his wife and their and their internal love.
