it’s just amazing to wake up right at the beach!!!! the owners are such lovely people, we felt so welcome! and it’s so convenient to have one of the best restaurants next door 😅

I loves that the property was close by the water.

I didn’t like that the property had no hot water to bathe in . After a long day of sightseeing and dining no one wants to take a cold shower. It was advertised as like warm but it was very much cold at all times throughout the day.

Everything about this place is perfect, wouldn’t change a thing.

People might not like the no running hot water, but the shower water is luke warm most of the day and it feels great after your overheated and clammy from being outside. No complaints here 👌

Perfect location to travel around the north and south side of the island. There are several restaurants and grocery stores nearby. The staff was very friendly, and helpful. There is easy access to the sea, accessible parking, and kayak and snorkeling equipment provided. The rooms have a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. The restaurant next door it's really good. A great choice for perfect vacations!

beautiful views and really great and helpful staff

The location is superb. You are made to feel very welcome and it is a beautiful setting. kayaks were available for use, snorkelling gear, hammocks to relax in and right on the water. We enjoyed our time here very much.

No down sides.

Lovely, private, beautiful

A nice "private" stay away from the hustle of the busy tourist attractions

I understand the owner has both properties, the fishbone and the hotel, but didn't like the fishbone being so close to the hotel and sharing the dock

Location and view! Quiet beautiful and peaceful

Peaceful, relaxing, an assortment of chairs to enjoy the waterside (hammocks, sun beds, water chairs), bbq, full kitchen facilities, full accessible bookshelf, extra beach equipment to borrow for free (sun chairs, snorkels, flippers, beach noodles & sand toys & floaties, sunscreen, mozzie spray, after sun lotion), super friendly staff, having a car is necessary for visiting all the beautiful beaches. Swimming possible right in front. Kayaks to use. Restaurant attached (amazing food!) is 10% discount and a private entrance from the accommodation. Free parking. AC!

Mattress was super soft (not for everyone’s taste) 1 enjoyed it!

This hotel is a prime example that the class of a hotel is not the stars, marbles, mirrors or pools, but the people. Graciela and Victor are the backbone of this hotel and that you will feel as if you are going to your closest family. In this mega expensive island they will help you not to waste unnecessary money. Graciela your empanadas are the best in the world. Dear hotel owner I don't know how much you pay them but they deserve better.

The only thing that annoyed me was the lack of a fence from Fishbone restaurant guests . A bit unsavory and uncomfortable as a half naked guy with a sizeable belly like mine watched people eat their steaks and prawns

The location was excellent, we plan to make this our go to place in Aruba. The managers and their family as well as the other staff members were very friendly and accommodating. We stayed in the smaller 1 bedroom which fit our needs. We plan to bring the family back to stay in a bigger suite.

We liked everything. We were in a smaller room but the location made it worth it. I believe we paid a fair price for the room.

A real old fashioned family guest house, on the water, chill feeling

nothing to walk too, all waterfront/ beach is private, so you end up driving a lot, whats not relaxing.

Very nice host and cute surroundings.

Beautiful location, we had the sea view appartement which looks out over the bay, waking up to this sight in the morning is amazing. Super staff !

Nothing to complain here. Eric, Jenny and Graciela go out of there way to make you feel at home. It’s not a high luxury accommodation, but everything you need is available and if anything is needed, the staff is always there to arrange it for you. Thanks again Eric, Jenny and Graciela for the time spend with you on Aruba !

Living at the beach life, hospitality and friendly, personal contact with staff, small place living together with other guests

Nothing

This location is incredible!!! We loved being away from the high tourist area. It was quiet, relaxing, and right on the water. We could not believe the place was so inexpensive for how wonderful it was! The staff was absolutely amazing, so friendly every time we crossed paths. The manager was so kind to upgrade us due to a cancelation and I am still so appreciative of that. The water is gorgeous, there were more than enough chairs to always have a spot, our patio was fantastic, and the hammocks were so relaxing. We took the kayak to Sea Glass Island right across the way. There was also snorkel gear we were able to take to a local beach. We saw tons of fish without having to pay for a tour which was awesome. They also had coolers to borrow so we could pack a lunch to take with us. Our kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook meals so we saved money there as well. There are a couple markets within walking distance. The bus stop is also a short walk which made it very easy to get to town when we wanted. Flying fishbone is right next door and owned by the same people. Hands down best food on the Island. We ate there three times! Zeerover is also within walking distance and very delicious. I really can't say enough positive stuff it's amazing and I can't wait to visit again!

The one and only tiny thing i didnt like was my bed was very hard. BUT that is in no way enough to keep me away from this place. I will absolutely return to Coral Reef again!

The views people are really helpful

Need to upgrade rooms Also you need in general CAR nothing close
