It’s such a beautiful and lovely place. You’ll definitely need a car to get around. We didn’t visit its private beach due to limited time and with small children. Highly recommended for couples or small groups. Probably not for families with small children. However, we truly enjoyed our stay!

Angelique & Esther’s property exceeded my expectation due to its location and cleanliness. The location is not one of the prime places you’ll find in the island of Aruba, but I find it easily to navigate with all my needs. From the property -4 mins to the airport -it’s 20 mins going south, -another 20 mins going north -and 16 mins drive going to the east. It is a modern unit with shared pool, parking lot, and lounging area in the beach. Lots of amenities including floaters, kayak, snorkeling gear, beach towel and kids sand toys. This property can accommodate all genres tbh. It’s spacious and lots of storage. One star deducted because there’s a lot of dog’s poop in the parking lot. The beach area is not totally the one in mind. It’s only good to unwind and to watch the sunset or planes. Highly recommended!!!

This is truly a unique experience if you are looking to enjoy peace and quiet. The place was very clean and amenities were excellent if you are looking to just chill with your loved ones unlike other places we stayed at more towards the city where it gets noisy early morning. If you choose to stay here, you might need to rent a car so that it is easy to go to other beaches and touristy areas.

The property was well taken care of, nicely decorated and clean! The owner, Angelique, was wonderful ensuring we had everything we needed as well as recommending local sights to see, places to see and local restaurants. This property was away from the crowded tourist areas which we loved!! You do need to rent a car to get around the island. This is what we wanted to do. We loved sitting on the balcony each morning having our coffee and enjoying the ocean view !! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Aruba. Id love to go back!!

Such a hidden gem!! This property was the perfect end to our stay in Aruba. We wanted to stay somewhere close to the airport and I don’t think you could get closer if you tried! Despite being so close to the airport, the building is remarkably quiet. The best part of our stay was the view and private dock. There is also a walkable restaurant nearby with a beautiful view of the marina. The owners of the property had impeccable communication and were very available. They gave us so much information and were great to deal with and very accommodating. The only con of this place is it’s a bit off the beaten path (although very central so that was nice) and you would need a car or cab. However most places are like this on the island unless you’re staying in the high rise hotels which are so expensive. This place is modern, clean and very comfortable for our family of 3. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place is very nice. We were disappointed when we found that “Airport Transfer” which was listed as an amenity on the website did not mean free airport to hotel transportation. We found that to be misleading but we coughed it up and paid the $34.00 cab far from the airport to the hotel. Otherwise the place was great. The power went out while we were there but that was not the hotel’s fault. It was out all over the island. However it meant that we couldn’t have lights, coffee in the morning, a hot shower, etc. so I can’t comment on any of those features. But the room was nice, clean and comfortable.

thank you for your time and review, I am Happy you saw the good in everything. What surprises me is the taxi fare which is regulated and never 34!! I sent the fares to you and you should have referred to that. Expedia has its way of selling the amenities and I agree it is not well displayed that it has a surcharge but if you look further down it is explained. My apologies for that and I will point it out to EXPEDIA that it looks misleading. About the power outage I can only say that it sometimes happens in the Caribbean, however the water should have been warm if the lever has been set in the good direction, the power was out from 7 to 9 am. Thank you for your understanding and great review!

Lovely if you love dogs
This was a clean and well-maintained apartment and the dock area across the street was very nice. You absolutely need a car as the only amenity nearby is the Fish House which was good. I did not have a car and attempted to walk to a shop 15-20 mins away for water and some food for the apartment and was barked at by multiple large dogs and followed. I eventually turned back. There were dogs by the pool and I also woke up to dogs on the balcony. If you don’t love dogs (i.e. not just tolerate them but really like them roaming around off leash) this is not the place for you. Communication was great and some suggestions were offered to make the dogs go away but alas it interfered with the relaxation.

Yes you definitely need a car in Aruba unless you stay in the tourist area, The Vistalmar is a place like home and Diva came by and stayed because of the guests who feed them and love them. They think all guests love them. Fortunately most guests do. I am sorry to hear your experience and hope you found a dogless property.

This hotel stay was horrible let me start off. They have so many dogs there . I almost got attacked by one. I reached out in text and called the owner. They said they was going to take care of it and never did. One of the dogs took my water shoes that I left outside to dry and messed them up overnight. they kept barking all night. Didn’t get no good sleep. Was afraid to come outside. I couldn’t really enjoy my trip because they was always around. I’m really scared of dogs. And also allergic. I don’t know it from the dogs are from the bed I had nasty little marks on my body I try to get a refund back they don’t want to give it back horrible service please don’t stay there. I guess you pay for what you get. The worst Trip ever staying there I regret it and I also have pictures I will be uploading

Absolutely loved this property! Property was very clean. apartments have everything and nothing you don’t. Be aware that there are two resident dogs who live there. They are lovely and very sweet! They don’t bother you but will greet you from time to time especially if you give them attention. I love dogs so having them around was a wonderful perk, however something to consider if you have a fear or do not like dogs. Will definitely be back! Also eat at the fish house down the road, it’s walkable from the property and best snapper on the island!

A Treasure in Aruba
My husband and I love condo/apartments/cottages, hotels are just not homey enough. This place is a treasure. Clean, full kitchen with a pool. Across the street is a small beach area with a deck. It is off the beaten path, with the airport behind you. Which, by the way, you don't hear. We had a few questions and we contacted Angelique who was so helpful and kind. I would highly recommend this place if you just want to relax.

Relaxing Trip
We have been to Aruba many times and usually stay in the Palm Beach area. This trip we were looking for a place away from the hustle and bustle of crowds. We wanted a place where we could unwind and just relax. Vistalmar Ocean Suites were just the ticket. The accommodations were very clean, updated, and spacious. We enjoyed breakfast each morning on our veranda watching boats come and go at the local marina. Most evenings we took a bottle of wine to the dock and watched the sun go down. There was a restaurant within walking distance with a wide variety of food and drinks. A car rental is recommended to drive around the island to various beaches and restaurants. Nothing is very far. The host was always quick in answering and questions or concerns.

Not impressed
The room overall wasn’t bad. We arrived a day earlier than our resort stay so had to book something for one night. The location is less than desirable with no real beach and restaurants nearby. We did have some issues with our TV and one of us took a shower and the next shower didn’t have hot water. There were no instructions in the room so I constantly had to text the lady to ask questions, tv, taxi information, restaurant and shopping. We finally just went to bed so we could wake up and start our vacation the next day at our resort. The bed and linens were just very average/poor quality.

A wonderful two weeks!
I didn't like the looks of the short ride off the highway, but the property is great. 8 condos with a pool and common area in addition to to your private patio. Across a quiet road is a private dock with table ,chairs, lounge chairs, hammocks. Some are over the water. Beautiful. Great dining at Fish house Marina within a short walk. NO cat problem when we were there. Hi.rless dog packs a visible everywhere in Aruba. They are skidish, but bark fearsly. Close to airport and main highways. We were not in a flight path, do no noise probable. Owner is very accommodating. Would definitely stay again!!
