Perfect Place To Spend Your Vacation - With or Without Your Children!

This was our third trip to Aruba and our second in two years. The reason we returned to Aruba for a second year in a row was being able to book this condo. Mario (the owner), his wife, cleaning staff, and the security staff at the complex are the nicest & most helpful people you can imagine. For example we had difficulty with flight delays this trip and I took comfort in knowing that even though I couldn't contact Mario due to my cell phone issues, I knew that no matter when we arrived the complex staff would contact him and he would check us in right away. We were three hours late to arrive (after 5:00 on a Saturday) without warning and we had access to the unit just minutes after we finally did arrive. The unit is fully stocked with everything from wine glasses to beach towels. If you choose to dine in, the is no problem having the necessary cookware to use and a large gas grill on the patio. If you chose to dine out there are many restaurants within walking distance. The unit is beautiful and large - the pictures do not reflect how big this unit really is. We stayed last year with our 3 girls (17, 16, & 10 yrs) and there was more than enough room for all their clothes, accessories, etc. Even with a family of 5 there was never a problem getting bathroom time since all three bathrooms are complete with showers. This year when we were without the girls it was still nice to have the extra room to relax. The grounds are well maintained and the complex is not crowded. The pool areas are always clean and you don't have to "stake out" your chairs or shady spot first thing in the morning, since there more than enough chairs to go around. The beach is wonderful, again not crowded, and has an incredible sandy bottom into the ocean. It truly is the perfect place to relax. We stayed at a resort our first trip to Aruba and we will never do that again. Before our trip was even 1/2 over we were already planning our trip back next year. I was a die hard Grand Cayman fan, we had been there 11 times in the past 14 years until last year when our experience with Aruba and renting this wonderful condo has turned me to an Aruba fan. The wonderful weather, beaches, nightlife, and especially staying in this unit have made Aruba our favorite vacation spot. We are never ready to leave and are looking forward to being able to extend our trips to at least a month. You can rent this unit without any hesitation or worry. Mario and his family are honest, friendly people.
