Fantastic Vacation

We literally just returned last night and I could not wait to tell everyone how absolutely PERFECT this condo was for our vacation. We had 6 adults and 2 children at 2 years old. This place is very nice and very accomadating for a party of this size. We brought our nanny and her boyfriend and they were able to have their own room!! The roof top terrace is amazing and the view is perfect. We thouroughly enjoyed the very well maintained pools and tennis court and hit the beach every day! WHAT AN AMAZING BEACH.....our opinion it is way nicer than Palm beach and definitely way less crowded. My wife and I literally ran to the high rise hotels along the beach and it was 1.4 miles. We definitely leveraged the kitchen and had home made breakfast every day and lunch for the kids. I would highly recommend this condo for a family vacation with another couple.

My family and I stayed in the condo for a week and we loved it. Everything in the condo was very clean and new (including the flat screen tvs). The house and bedrooms were spacious and we had beautiful views of the ocean from the balconies and the rooftop terrace. It was nice to have both a tennis court and a gym on the property. The location was perfect because we were right in between Oranjestad, Palm Beach, the Lighthouse, etc. We found Eagle Beach to be the best beach in Aruba because it was the most pristine but not too crowded. If we ever visit Aruba again, we would definitely come back to this condo.

We rented this lovely penthouse for the week of June 20 - 28, 2009. We found it to be the best choice we could have possibly made in Aruba. 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 plenty of huts for everyone.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. We rented two cars, and without them, you would have few options for eating or shopping. All of the grocery shopping is close by (acouple of miles), and the big hotels and eateries aren't much of a drive either. Don't eat at the Tulip, which is within walking distance.....teriible food. 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, and Randy, the caretaker, is an informative man who is willing to help out in any way necessary. 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.

We recently stayed in the Oceania condominium complex, but not in this particular unit. This was our first visit to Aruba and we were extremely pleased with the accommodations. The complex is located directly across the street from Eagle Beach. In our opinion, this is the best location on the island. It is as beautiful as any beach on Aruba, and also somewhat quieter than other areas of the island. The people at the complex were very helpful (especially Juan and Buss at the security booth). There are restaurants within walking distance (Tulip was very good), but we did find it useful to have a car. There are many places to see (Butterfly Farm, Donkey Sanctuary, California lighthouse, Baby Beach, to name just a few) and excellent places (Flying Fishbone, La Trattoria El Faro Blano) to eat on the island.

My wife and I checked multiple internet sites while planning a trip to celebrate our 25th Anniversay, as well as our son's high school graduation.

Property owner Cindy was so easy to deal with, and fully answered all of our questions about the property and the island.

We were not disappointed when we arrived to find a first class top floor condo. There are about 5-6 buildings on the premises, but only two are completed. The remaining buildigns are under construction, but we were never bothered by the workers, who worked normal daylight hours.

I would strongly recommend renting a vehicle if you stay here, as there is not much nearby. It is easy to drive around the island, and the roads are fairly well marked.

There is a beautiful beach right across the highway from the property, and there were not very many people there. If you are looking for non-stop action and nightlife, this is not the place. If you are looking for a beautiful island, relaxed atmosphere, where you feel safe to travel as if you are home, this is it.

The grounds, pool area, and club house are spotless. The inside of the condo was spotless. The guards at the gate, and especially the maintainance man Randy, were very knowledgable about places to go and things to do. Instead of being cramped up in a little hotel room for 7 nights, we had a spacious condo with several rooms, a kitchen, porch, etc.

The only downside was a 4 hour flight from Charlotte airport to Aruba, but the beach view, clear water, and excellent condo were worth it. Thank you Cindy!
