this property was the perfect place. I have zero complaints quite clean shopping is nearby. The only thing I suggest is have a Rental car you cannot walk to the nearest shopping area, but it is super close to everything! I will be returning

We had a wonderful stay. Property came with 2 beach chairs and a mini cooler, wish it had an umbrella. The only downfall is no one came to clean the place at all. The owner did mention after two days someone will refresh the place and give us new towels. Besides that minor issue the Villa is located within 5 min. drive to Eagle or Palm beach.

I recently stayed here in this amazing property. The owner was very welcoming and informative. The location was perfect, only a 5 min drive to the Beach. This property comes with couple beach chairs and a cooler which made it unique. The place was well maintained and we enjoyed every bit of it. Highly recommend it and we will definitely come back again!!!

I love that it had the apartment aspect. So we could make breakfast and have coffee. The pool was nice. The hot tub was not hot, but that was okay. A lot of walking tho. No restaurants around for easy food. The food truck was closed.... that made us sad.

Golden slice of paradise!
Outstanding!! Nice clean unit, cooler and beach chairs to use. Owner checked us in by showing us the unit. It was quick and he's extremely friendly. Unfortunately we were only ther a couple nights but we'll definitely go back! You need a car because it off the beaten path per se. Clean, quiet, private. Nice pool, great grilling area, gated with securty codes for entry. Bed a little firm but good pillows. They also give you beach towels. Owner just imported huge smoking trailer from Miami, hopefully he'll have it up and running when we come back next year. I can't say enough good about this place. IF I had one complaint it's that there was no wash clothes but I'm bettimg if I'd asked they'd of given me some. Again that's just IF i was truly lookong for a negative but it wasnt a huge deal to us as we had makeshift ones. So in the end not a single complaint. Highly recommend! We will definitely be syaying there again!

Clean, comfy space close to everything.
Nice apartment a few miles from Palm Beach. Very clean, great A/C, comfy bed. The kitchenette has a stove top, full-size fridge and microwave. It was nice that there were a few condiments ~ oil, salt and pepper, coffee filters etc. The living room area had a very comfy couch and television with good reception for cable TV. Wi-Fi was available though it was quite slow. There were beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler provided which was very helpful. There is a small pool and that is my only negative to our visit. There were no handrails to get into the pool and the two steps are deceptive because the third one is not onto what you would consider the shallow end of the pool floor but rather about a 3 foot drop. I injured my leg very severely missing that last step. I think a handrail really should be added and maybe even a little sign warning that that last step is a doozy! The owner Ricardo lives on site and was very friendly and helpful. It is a gated complex and we felt very secure with that. It’s close to shopping, restaurants and easy to get around. We would definitely recommend as an affordable stay in Aruba.

Ricardo greeted us on arrival and immediately showed us the property, which was very clean and beautiful. The location is close enough for us to walk to Eagle Beach and the high rise hotels area, where there are many shops and restaurants and Palm Beach. The walk might be a little bit too much for some people, but fine for us. There are lots of options for groceriy stores and restaurants within walking distances. The church is also nearby. There are bus stops at locations near Eagle Beach and Palm Beach.

Awesome villas
Our villa was very nice, and the property was well maintained and was centrally located to everything. The property was secured with a coded gate and cameras. I had a rental car and had no problems with its safety. The owners, Richard and Bella, were extremely nice and accommodating. My only gripe was with how small the kitchen trash can was with housekeeping coming only every 3 days. However, I would highly recommend this place to others and would stay there when I return.

This is an 8 unit hotel, each having one bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. The units are nearly new, and though a couple of miles from the beach, were only minutes by car from any place you would want to go. The owner, Richard, lives on site. He was available, friendly and helpful.

Relaxing oasis of vacation
Perfect location, 5-10 minutes drive from beach, restaurant and grocery. Very clean and the owner are onsite, so it is very useful. They provide beach chair, cooler and snorkeling gear. Well equipped kitchen, but the bbq could use a upgrade. We were there with our 10months-old and it was just perfect with the close one bedroom.

This place offers more than what you pay for. It’s a really nice place to stay while visiting Aruba. I was impressed with the amenities such as the pool and jacuzzi tub. The setup inside the apartment kind of caught me by surprise when I first walked in because inside the apartment actually looked better in person than what was shown in the website pictures. It’s quiet, off the beaten path and quite the gem of a place. I certainly would recommend anyone to stay there while vacationing in Aruba. One thing though.... the television channels are a bit spotty so be prepared for that. Although when you’re in Aruba, watching television should be the least of your worries when there are other things to do there. I would suggest you use the internet to look at Netflix on your laptop as an alternative if it’s a must for you. Have fun!

Was greeted by Eduardo who was very friendly. Nice little clean lodging accommodation. Room was a bit smaller but I guess that's not a deal breaker. Pool area was decent for an airbnb. I guess it's suited more for people who likes quiet around. Again nothing surprising from the owners or the place just that we as a family enjoyed staying at a resort more due to bigger amenities and closeness to the beach. Thanks Eduardo

Golden Villas are a group of 8 apartments, closely grouped together around a courtyard with a pool, lawn chairs, a bbq, and small tables. The villas a equipped with all the basic amenities, and the grounds and apartments are well maintained and very clean. Ricardo is often right on the premises and if not, he responds to email the same day. We liked that it was situated in a quiet neighborhood close to Eagle and Palm Beach (5-7 mins. drive)

My stay in Aruba was made even more special because of my apartment. I felt at home right way. Richard and Julio were great. The hot water, the location, all was perfect for me. I had friends come to visit me and they were surprised. One friend said she would use Golden Villas in the future. Everything was as it was on the website. What a relief.....the next time I'm in Aruba, I'm heading to Golden villas!!!!. This was my first time using Hotel.com and I was very happy with the service.

Felt at Home at Golden Villas
I enjoyed my stay at the Golden Villas. I would prefer staying at a place like Golden Villas versus a big hotel. I felt more at home at the GV. I like that it was equipped with a kitchen. Everything was so tidy and thoughtfully decorated. The owner Isabella was super welcoming and very accessible. The housekeeping lady was also very sweet and kept our room clean and fresh. The only downside to GV was the location. The hotel was not as close to the beach or the high rise zone as someone else claimed ( well it is in car but not walking distance). Unfortuantely, we did not have a car so we had to walk 30 minutes to get to the beach. Not too much around the hotel besides a small convenience store. Aside from that, everything was great!
