Wonders Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

An aerial view of a residential area with houses, a swimming pool, and lush greenery.

Location: Oranjestad
Review: Wonders Boutique was a welcome surprise. We stayed at "Wonders" for two nights to end our 12 day stay in Aruba (our 4th trip to this beautiful, friendly Island) and enjoyed the quaintness of the hotel. Gaston welcomed us at his hotel on our 3 hour early arrival from a 1 week stay at La Cabana. The room wasn't quite ready which presented no problem as we were able to relax in the beautiful garden setting around the pool. This hotel resort clearly displays the personal touch that Gaston and his..., by Stan, October 30, 2015, rated 10/10 Excellent

MVC Eagle Beach

A hotel entrance with palm trees and a well-maintained garden.

Location: Eagle Beach
Review: This hotel is literally accross the street from Eagle beach. One of the best beaches in Aruba. It is small, which guaranteeds you two things; quietness and the beach umbrellas/chairs and a non busy beach spot all day long. For free. No matter what time you want to go to the beach. Good luck with that in bigger hotels. You will have a crowded beach and you will have to reserve your umbrella -if you are lucky to get one. Not for all day long, either. Tulip restaurant is really a great spot if you..., by AS, June 17, 2015, rated 10/10 Excellent
