Great stay at the old aloe house

Wonderful 2-week vacation
We loved everything about staying in the Old Aloe House. It was very clean, plenty of towels provided, there was a washing machine and a dryer, air conditioning available in the main part of the house working well. The kitchen is very well supplied; the furniture is clean and comfortable. The location in Savaneta is safe and very convenient to those who are interested to be away from noise and busy city life. The occasional donkey or rooster made up for the alarm clock in the morning. Our contact person – Ms. Mari-Elena – is very kind and helpful and never misses any reply or direction asked for. Moreover, she made an entire book with necessary information, directions and advice, placed at hand, on the desk in the main room. She advised us to rent a car from the very beginning so we considered everything really easy to reach while taking advantage of a more remote location. The owners were very accommodating and Mari-Elena, our contact, never missed a beat. Aruba is a wonderful island with great scenic views from every part of the island. We have no complaints and definitely we’ll travel back. Just a quick FYI: the island has a small airport and to clear the US customs you’ll need about 4 hours as there is no way you can skip any of the multiple lines you’ll face.

The house was cozy and ideally outfitted for a vacation stay.
It is a cute typical old Aruban house with up to date interior. The living area and bedrooms are fitted with quiet split unit air conditioners. The kitchen is well equipped. The house was spotlessly clean. The beds are comfortable. There is a large paved patio area where you can barbecue or just hang out in the nice breeze with a drink. It is within a 20 minute drive from the beaches at the west end of the island and about 10 minutes from Baby beach which is great for children since it shielded by a reef. With any luck, you will hear donkies in the distance or a morning call of a rooster. Nice changes from an alarm clock We highly recommend this property if you want to be a little away from “the crowds”. It is in a totally safe area. You get a true feeling of Aruba.

Like living in your own house with all the commodities
The house is a very beautifull restored old Aruban house with modern facilities in a quiet and save living area. We were welcomed with cold beer in the fridge, a selection of lotions. Even soap for the dushwashing and for washing our cloths is provided There is a fully equiped kitchen so we could cook or bake everthing, but there is also a good meal delivery service nextdoor. The 2 bedrooms and main area have airconditioning, but we prefered to open all windows in the kitchen and dining area and to sit uotside in the evening. You need a car for this house and to explore Aruba. Parkingspace is in the back of the house.. We felt very at home, like we were living on the Island. I would like to stay in this house on my next visit to Aruba.
