Best Location, Luxury Penthouse for Fun Vacation!
Review Submitted: August 11, 2010
Date of Stay: June 2009
We rented this lovely penthouse condominium, Oceania Luxury Penthouse number 522 E, for the week of June 20 - 28, 2009. We found it to be the best choice we could have possibly made in Aruba, and I believe that any of the Oceania rentals would be a good deal. We dislike loud and crowded beaches, and Eagle beach is quiet, and there are very few people there. It is one of the most beautiful beaches we have seen, and we have been to many wonderful spots around the world. The water is not good for snorkeling, but there are no waves. There are other beaches on the island where people go to snorkel, but it is not the best place to go if you are looking for fabulous snorkeling spots. There are plenty of huts for everyone on the beach, and you do not need water shoes. Turtle eggs were hatching when we were there if you were patient enough to wait to see them emerge. The condo is conveniently located across two very narrow roads which one must walk across, but that is really no problem. Traffic moves slowly, and people are considerate. The property is gated so one must learn the code to enter, which means no one can access the pool or grounds unless authorized. The condo itself is beautiful. The best part is the three decks with marvelous views. Each bedroom is spacious, and there are plenty of towels both for beach and bath. There are three thermostats so we could set our preferences for cold at night. People are nice there; security is tight and guards are courteous and careful. The grounds are meticulously cared for, and there is no noise, just beautiful plants and palms with lovely iguanas. Also, the zero entry swimming pool at the condo is beautiful, clean, and well taken care of. There are several other pools on the other side of this condo which will also be part of the complex soon, and more condos to be completed. That means there will be several large, wonderful pools to use in the future. The elevators work quickly and efficiently. If you email the owner, Cindy, she promptly responds and is helpful with any questions you may have. We had a wonderful, memorable vacation and plan to return to Oceania sometime soon. If you are looking for excitement and activity, this is not the place for you. But, if you are beach lovers who want a clean, quiet, beautiful setting, you can not go wrong here. Aruba is truly one happy island, as they advertise.
