Guest reviews
The place was amazing! Great for couples to enjoy a nice and cozy place together. The yard was vibrate with lights and colors especially at night. Knowing the climate in Aruba it gets pretty toasty but the windows were very easy to set up in seconds to get a nice breeze inside. The swings, hammock and especially the jacuzzi were a nice touch to end any day of exploring Aruba. This stay is a definite recommend for couples to experience!!
