Top Dos Playa Hotel Reviews

Villa on the beach: 5 ocean front suites and 2 bunk rooms

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property in Savaneta from March 29 to April 6, 2026! The highlight was the private beach right in front of the property. The rock barrier offshore kept the waves gentle, making the water calm and especially enjoyable for our family. We loved spending time on the beautiful beach and taking in the ocean views.The people who care for the property and assist guests were fantastic—kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. They made our experience even more special.One suggestion would be to install a protective railing or glass barrier along the open space between the stairs and the floor below. This would be especially helpful for families with small children and give parents extra peace of mind.Overall, a beautiful and memorable experience. We would happily recommend this property!"

Romantic House with Spacious Hot Tub Spa, Family/Pet friendly and Free Parking

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful 4 night stay at this 2BR 2BA home in Savaneta. The house was clean and well stocked. We cooked at the home 2 nights and had everything we needed.The hot tub was so relaxing, but plan ahead as it needs time to warm up fully if you like it hot. Keeping the cover on while it heats up makes it faster.The beds were firm and comfortable and seemed about US queen size. The air conditioning worked very well. The owner requested we keep them off if we weren't home, and it was no problem as they cooled the house quickly. We found that the home was comfortable enough that we didn't always need AC on even while we were home. The bathrooms were spotless. There's a market within a 2 minute walk (right around the corner) that had most things you might need.The owners checked on us by WhatsApp frequently, offered tips, and even showed up at the home with snorkel equipment when we told him our plans to snorkel. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with them. We absolutely recommend this home for anyone wanting to stay in Aruba outside of the tourist areas. Lots of excellent restaurants and local spots nearby, great home, excellent hosts."

sweet chalet in paradise

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic 11-day stay at this wonderful property! Having access to their private pool during the hot summer days made our trip extra special and relaxing. The host was exceptionally warm, welcoming, and always helpful whenever we had questions or needed recommendations. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish—we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would love to return!"

Newly Build - Across The Road from The Beach - 7 bdrm/7 bthrms

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Aruba, and we couldn’t have asked for a better host than Edward! From the moment we booked, he went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. He was incredibly responsive and answered every question we had within minutes. You could truly tell that he cared about his guests and wanted us to have the best experience possible.The house itself was spacious, beautiful, clean, and filled with fun, unique décor. With 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, every bedroom having its own private full bathroom, it was perfect for our group. We especially loved the unique pool, the layout of the property, and the BBQ and bar area. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax, hang out, and enjoy our time together.Ton, the property manager, was also wonderful. Anytime we needed something, he was quick to respond and arrive to help. He even stopped by midweek with additional supplies and fresh towels, which was thoughtful.Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If we ever return to Aruba, we would absolutely contact Edward again and stay here without hesitation. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable, spacious place to stay with an amazing host!And one little tip… you definitely won’t need an alarm clock! The neighborhood dogs will make sure you’re up and ready to start your day. Thank you, Edward and Ton, for helping make our Aruba vacation so memorable."

Oceanfront @ Mangel Halto Beach, Snorkel, Scuba, Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this location because you can't get any closer to the beach. Plenty of room to spread out and relax Beautifully decorated."

Ocean Front Property - Villa 1 Aruba

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn’t have been happier with our choice here. About a 20min taxi to the “tourist” areas but the local restaurant near the villa are arguably better than the ones on the north end of the island. Beaches near us were relatively empty in comparison to the north end of the island. Only suggestion I have to future visitors is to keep the bathroom door shut when running the AC. The room gets very cold once you do this. Otherwise, it can get a little toasty. 5 stars all around. If we come back to Aruba we will be staying here again."

Bella Horizonte - Beachfront 7

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at this property several times and it never disappoints. Comfortable and clean apartment with a great view. Good swimming and snorkeling right across the street. Employees and hosts were friendly and responsive during the stay. Communication prior to the stay was not great however. I got no responses to multiple messages over several weeks within the VRBO app when I needed to amend our reservation. I finally got a response by sending an instagram message and they responded and gave me a WhatsApp contact. Other than the poor communication before our arrival it was a perfect experience."

Bella Horizonte - Beachfront 4

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property have stayed here before just differed unit. Is clean beautiful view. No beach chairs so need to rent communication through Verbo is non existent . Would recommend if you like quiet and relaxing instead of crowds"

Caribbean Corner Home "Tropical"

8/10 Good

"House has a great outdoors. It is a little on the old side but that is part of the charm. The host was amazing! Very responsive and kind. Anything we could have needed for the beach was available to us.Nothing they can do about this issue….the neighbors dogs are very loud and bark a lot."
