9.6/10 Exceptional! (55 reviews)

Fernando & Ian were amazing hosts. We really enjoyed them & their company. It's a very unique Hotel full of art & stories. Our bungalow however I found to be gloomy. The kitchen had no sponge and very watered down dish detergent. 1 plate & bowl with no paper towels or napkins. The bathroom was extremely dated with 1 tiny round mirror and really bad lighting also the sink was clogged so we had to brush our teeth and wash our faces in the kitchen. Good water pressure in the shower though. If this bungalow didn't lead to the most magical garden I would have switched properties. It's beautiful & at night if you can imagine it was even more magical!! That along with Fernando & Ian was this propertys saving grace for us. If your looking for something different this may be the stay for you.

The curtains were hanging off on one side but other than that the room was clean, I wouldn’t say it was spotless though.

We took an ATV tour in Aruba and one of the stops was at the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins. This was taken from the top of the ruins looking North.
Located on the northern coast this abandoned gold mill once processed ore from the nearby mines during Aruba's gold rush of the nineteenth century.

Marvel at the otherworldly appearance of these unusually shaped boulders, which were considered sacred by the Arawak Indians.

While attending a Conference in Aruba, I was able to tour the island, which doesn't take very long. Interesting place to visit.
