Family Friendly, Great Location!

What a great location! Not too far from the beach, but plenty of amenities on the property that we could spend the whole day playing and not go anywhere. Very clean and plenty of blankets, sheets, towels and dishes. The kids loved the pool with the slides and I liked the dock on the canal for fishing. Would definitely look at staying here again in the future.

Cute!

Really cute place! It is lake king in mirrors. With just one mirror in the bathroom only, it made getting ready for 4 people difficult. A little strange—the front door opens into the parking lot. I didn’t love that. It is a safety issue. But the entire complex is that way 😬. It may have been when we were there, but pricey for what it was…really, it was the fees! Overall, cute and served its purpose. Thankfully, the outward-opening front door was fine on our trip.

This property was a dream for a weekend getaway! It was very close to the beach, very clean, driving distance to all of the restaurants on the island, and great walking paths around the area. Quiet and the property has anything and everything you might need! It was a very pet friendly area, so that was a huge plus. The beds were so comfortable and the pools were never too crowded. It looks exactly as pictured on the website! My only complaint, which is so minor - there was only one real mirror in the whole house so getting ready for two women was a little crowded! Other than that, seriously perfect.

A great place for a family with young children!

We truly enjoyed our time at Aruba Bay. The resort is located very close to Whitecap Beach and to some of our new favorite restaurants. We enjoyed the amenities offered, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the apartment was clean and perfectly decorated for the beach. Our home away from home! The only downsides we experienced were the basketball hoop was broken for most of our stay as were the gates to the docks and the pools are very small compared to the pictures on the website. We would recommend this resort for families with little ones.

Great Stay!

We had a great time staying at this condo! Everything about our stay was great except we brought our family dog so my only complaint is that there weren't many dog friendly areas. Dogs weren't allowed at the pool area or in the clubhouse (ours is small and very well behaved). Otherwise, it was a clean, easy to use condo and even had a little backyard area which was helpful for the pup and a hose out front to hose off sandy things and feet! Thanks for a great stay!
