Couple's week long stay

Very nice complex. Loved the location and the pool. Sartini and Sanne were very responsive and helpful. This was a real plus since it was our first visit to Aruba. The "Yum Yum" discounts were much appreciated and well used, and the car rental set up by Sartini was great. We would definitely stay again.

Fabulous Find!

We had an excellent 8 day stay at Wacamaya! Our host, Sartini was amazing! She answered questions promptly, met us at check-in and was available for any questions throughout our stay. We appreciated having beach chairs, coolers and towels available, the pool is lovely, the condo is exactly as it appears in the pictures. We can't wait to go back! Highly recommend!

Nice pleasant visit

Nice, clean apartment, which seemed a bit bigger than we expected based on the photos. Easy access and parking, and nice and quiet! Not much in easy walking distance so we were glad to have a rental car. Only very minor negative I could say was the lack of soap/shampoo in the bathroom. Not a big deal though, especially at this price point. Beach towels and chairs were provided, and I think I saw some snorkeling gear in the closet as well, though we had our own. On arrival we were also given a couple discount codes to a local supermarket, etc which was nice. The apartment complex had a nice pool but beware - it has dangerously slick tiles.

Wir durften bis 3 uhr anstatt 11 uhr bleiben, ohne aufpreis. In der Küche war es etwas schmudelig und aufgrund der Lage hatten wir extrem viel Moskitos. Aber alles in allem war es super!

Relaxing and effortless

Renting was very simple, but had not notice the funds were in US at first. But all well. We enjoyed being so close to our main event, kite boarding, it was 4 min by car. Communication with owner was also easy and was able to help out with everything.

Great spot to relax

We picked this place because Sartini is the manager and she’s the best. She is such a nice person and so helpful. The apartment was very comfortable and we loved the pool. Parking spaces are within a gated enclosure and secure. If I could improve one thing, it would be nice if the tv had access to streaming channels.

Loved it!

I stayed at Sartini’s place in Wacamaya condos for a week on my own. The condos are amazing and they’re a 5-minute drive to Arashi beach and Palm beach. The swimming pool is beautiful and is cleaned every morning. Sartini was a really great and helpful host - she offered to print some paperwork for me when I asked her about the nearest print shop. I also asked her if we could do an early checkin at 9.30AM which wasn’t an issue at all. Overall would recommend staying here - or in any of Sartini’s properties.

This one bedroom apartment had great WiFi, bed, air conditioning, TV and fridge. Sartini, the property manager was terrific; she even had 'grab bars" installed in the bath/shower for our safety. She was very thoughtful and addressed all our needs. We will be returning. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Too many issues, but most resolved.

Check in was great. Then we found problems. TV in bedroom didn't work, no hair dryer, no hot water in shower. Since it was Christmas, we did have to wait for the fixes. Got a brand new TV and hairdryer and the hot water was fixed. The shower faucet was defective and hard to regulate. Then we lost hot water again. Took another day to be fixed. For the last week, the internet went out. Last 2 days, the landline didn't work. I hated to keep bothering Santini. The unit was nice, but just too many problems.
