Awesome condo-awesome service
Review Submitted: January 8, 2009
Date of Stay: December 2008
Just returned from a week at the Oceania with our 3 adult (20's) children. Loved every part of this experience! Having rented many beach condos throughout the Caribbean and Atlantic, this is by far the most beautiful and spacious one to date. Loved the layout of the unit. Each bedroom is very private. Great kitchen and lanai. Beautiful views. Location on Eagle beach was premiere and relaxing. Easy stroll to a couple bar/restaurants with outdoor seating. Although I never felt the need for it, security was very diligent (frequently walking the grounds, and manning the gated entrance) and friendly (always willing to call a cab). I had frequent email communications with Alan prior to our visit. His service and management is superior to any I've incurred elsewhere. He even made sure to offer the option of groceries in our fridge since we were arriving on a holiday and the stores were closed. His welcome gift of champagne to ring in the new year was a nice touch, as well as calling within an hour of our arrival to make sure all was satisfactory. Very professional and responsive. Didn't try it out but there's also a new waterpark right behind the condo. Took a 1/2 day Jeep tour with De Palm Tours. Rough ride, but a fun adventure and nice way to see the other side of the island. Reserved it at the Costa Linda resort nearby and then De Palm picked us up at our condo. The culmination of the week was the Old Man and the Sea Restaurant. Reserve the gazebo on the water. Unbelievable food, wine and atmosphere!!! Worth the $30 cab ride! The Oceania is a very neat, well maintained quiet place to get away. If we return to Aruba, we definitely want to stay here again!!
Owner's Response: Thanks for yet another excellent review! I did not expect these kinds of exciting and encouraging comments, because we just do our best to make our guests feel at home, whilst being far away from home. I'm also glad you liked the new restaurant I recommended, because I recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner there too. Oceania resort is defintely the place to be in Aruba, if you want to be on the beach, close to all main tourist activities and establishments, but yet is all privacy, tranquility and luxury. Hope to see you here once more, and thanks again! Alan.
