Peaceful, amazing sunrises. This part of the island is the best - with cactus, palm trees and the ocean - have never seen all that in the same place before!The lockbox is a little hard to find. Door is a little tricky to lock/unlock. Just Check with managers for detailed instructions before checking in.Overall, great place. Had everything we need along with oustanding views, quiet & peaceful. ##### Kristopher R. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alicia W. 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful view on the edge of Arikok This apartment was everything we could have asked for and more!! Pros: Clean, great a/c!, appliances, towels, big shower, comfy bed, wonderful pool, great view!!, everything is within 10-15 minute drive, beach chairs, cooler, dishes/silverware, grill outside, outdoor shower was nice to rinse and off after a beach day... and very responsive management. We rented jeep for the week and that was best choice ever because you can 4x4 in the Arikok park to see all kinds of amazing beaches, caves, etc! Cons: We were given incorrect wifi password and tv was not working correctly but I messaged and they fixed it asap! The glass door curtains are not black out so you will wake up early if you don't bring sleep eye mask but it was nice to get up early and head to the beach. We couldn't get stove to work but it was our last day so we didn't mind and I'm sure they would have given us instructions or fixed it fast if I would have asked. Don't hesitate to rent this place! ##### Alicia W.

Absolute paradise with a pool and A/C!! If you are looking for the perfect self catering studios in Aruba, look no further - this is THE place!! Travelling with a friend, we stayed for a week in two neighbouring studio apartments (a total of three are available at the location). These studios are super special, and absolutely ideal for friends or family who wish to holiday together but also have their own space. Our apartments must be East facing, the sun rises are glorious as the sky explodes into reds and oranges, I found myself awakening each day super early to catch the show, leaving the curtains slightly open as a wake up call (mine were blackout, I think). I also woke up shivering on the first morning, the air conditioning is icy, if you want it that way - I had to reduce the setting but in the Caribbean heat, it is much needed and very much appreciated, especially coming home after a long hot day exploring in paradise! We had a private swimming pool, exclusive to the studios and set in beautifully landscaped gardens all with uninterrupted views across the nature reserve (cacti & countryside!) to the Caribbean sea beyond. It's such a peaceful and serene place to be. The apartments themselves are big, studio styled with fully equipped kitchen, dining area, super-sized beds with expensive linens and plenty of storage (super high ceilings, too... I'm tall, I notice these things). They were also spotlessly clean and well presented upon our arrival. The bathroom has a decent walk in shower and soaps were provided along with fabulously fluffy towels. We chose self catering since I always prefer the privacy and kitchen that private apartments offer... I imagined myself cooking with local ingredients although in the end, we ate out every night! The choice of restaurants and quality of food in Aruba will delight your appetite and shame your diet simultaneously! I would say that a rental car is essential if you want to get the best out of your trip and this island. We managed to explore much of Aruba during our week and were always happy to come home to our little private oasis in Santa Lucia each day, walking into the AC, jumping into the pool in total privacy. We couldn't have asked for more from our trip and this location, these studios are great value for Aruba and a much higher standard than we were expecting. I hope you choose to stay here and wish you as happy an experience as we had. We will be back! ##### Dan E. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jake 29 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Nice apartment style stay with an out in the country vibe. There are 3 apartments at this place with a shared community pool. Each apartment has its own private patio/balcony with chairs. It Was a nice place to relax and soak up the sun. If your looking for a more rural experience and like to cook a lot this place is good for that. There is a grill you can use on site which i did not use but it has a full kitchen inside the apartment that i did. Its managed by a vacation accommodation company on the island with good communication. There is wifi also but it can be spotty here and there. You will want to have a car rental for this place as its 20mins or so away from more of the touristy places/beachs (center of the island). There were some smaller super markets near by though that i took advantage of. Definitely worth a stay! ##### Jake Stayed 14 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Stonefield Villa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soufriere-Hotels-Stonefield-Villa-Resort-Adults-Only.h1173701.Hotel-Information) > > [Rabot Hotel from Hotel Chocolat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soufriere-Hotels-Rabot-Hotel-From-Hotel-Chocolat.h4595619.Hotel-Information) > > [Zoetry Marigot Bay - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marigot-Bay-Hotels-Marigot-Bay-Resort-And-Marina.h1355200.Hotel-Information) > > [Fond Doux Eco Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soufriere-Hotels-Fond-Doux-Eco-Resort.h1826960.Hotel-Information) > > [Green Fig Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soufriere-Hotels-Green-Fig-Resort-Spa.h58048613.Hotel-Information) > > [Talk of the Town Hotel and Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oranjestad-Hotels-Talk-Of-The-Town-Hotel-And-Beach-Club.h1272518.Hotel-Information) > > [Bel Jou Hotel – Adults Only – All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castries-Hotels-Bel-Jou-Hotel-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h16270926.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kontiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Willemstad-Hotels-Kontiki-Beach-Resort-Curacao.h2468727.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Thalassa Monastir](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monastir-Hotels-Royal-Thalassa-Monastir.h1207492.Hotel-Information) > > [Saint Martin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anse-Marcel-Hotels-Secrets-St-Martin-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h36941941.Hotel-Information) > > [East Winds Saint Lucia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gros-Islet-Hotels-East-Winds-Saint-Lucia.h7264543.Hotel-Information) > > [The Landings Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gros-Islet-Hotels-The-Landings-Resort-Spa.h1721860.Hotel-Information) > > [StolenTime St Lucia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castries-Hotels-Rendezvous.h66538561.Hotel-Information) > > [Jade Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soufriere-Hotels-Jade-Mountain-Resort.h1529727.Hotel-Information) > > [Zemi Beach House, LXR Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shoal-Bay-Hotels-Zemi-Beach-House.h13066946.Hotel-Information) > > [Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rendezvous-Bay-Hotels-Aurora-Anguilla-Resort-Golf-Club.h456549.Hotel-Information) > > [Intercontinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portsmouth-Hotels-Intercontinental-Dominica-Cabrits-Resort-Spa.h92321461.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Grenada, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Georges-Hotels-Royalton-Grenada-Resort-And-Spa-All-Inclusive.h36774395.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandals Royal Curacao - All Inclusive Couples Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Willemstad-Hotels-Sandals-Royal-Curacao-ALL-INCLUSIVE.h70598070.Hotel-Information) > > [Marigot Beach Club and Dive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marigot-Bay-Hotels-Marigot-Beach-Club-And-Dive-Resort.h65957.Hotel-Information) > > [Koi Resort Saint Kitts, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Basseterre-Hotels-Curio-Collection-By-Hilton-Koi-Resort-Saint-Kitts.h44443873.Hotel-Information) > > [Ladera Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soufriere-Hotels-Ladera-Resort.h68868.Hotel-Information) > > [Hummingbird Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soufriere-Hotels-Hummingbird-Beach-Resort.h578939.Hotel-Information) > > [Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soufriere-Hotels-Sugar-Beach.h1218288.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandals Grenada - ALL INCLUSIVE Couples Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Georges-Hotels-Sandals-Grenada-ALL-INCLUSIVE-Couples-Only.h919960.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-End-Village-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-And-Residence-Anguilla.h2745402.Hotel-Information) > > [Windjammer Landing Resort and Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gros-Islet-Hotels-Windjammer-Landing-Resort-And-Residences.h14461.Hotel-Information) > > [Calabash Cove Resort And Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gros-Islet-Hotels-Calabash-Cove-Resort-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h2470747.Hotel-Information) > > [Anguilla Great House Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rendezvous-Bay-Hotels-Anguilla-Great-House-Beach-Resort.h894275.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [Montenegro Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montenegro.d6051403.Holidays-City-Breaks)
