The property was clean and had a great location. There was no basics in the room you need to bring your own dish soap, hand soap, hand towels ect. The wifi was terrible, the door was difficult to lock, the safe in the room did not work and the owner was never around so it was very hard to address any issues.

Beautiful property, with swimming pool and jacuzzi, located near Mangel Halto beach. Very quiet and calm. Also, we had useful recommendations by Angelo. However, the toilet in our bathroom was dirty when we arrived on the first day, and our room (including said toilet) was never cleaned during our 5 nights stay.

The only thing I liked about this property was location as there was a beautiful beach in walking distance. However, if you do not have a rental car, you won't be able to explore Aruba fully as all the touristy places are 15-20 minutes away from the property. Bathroom and kitchen was decent, BUT the bed and the pillow was not clean at all, even the color was brown. We had to request for extra sheets for double triple protection. The door lock was not like the safest thing as it is not stern at all. The pool and the hot tub was nice and there is a market in walking distance which was nice. If you are looking for a place in aruba where you are just going to be outside the most of the time, and are looking for place just to sleep, I guess this place would be okay as you get to save the money. The staffs are nice but they rlly need to work on the cleanliness of the room.

This property was not in the tourist area and in walking distance to Mango Alto Beach with a local store and bar within 2 minutes walking distance. I would suggest renting a car which will allow you to visit all of the beaches on the island. The hotel was clean and quiet. If you are looking for a laid back vacation this would be the place.

Would not book or recommend
We arrive to no one at the front desk and a note on window with directions to our room. Our room door would not close without lifting it up off the track. Frame looked like someone used a crowbar to jimmy the lock. Safe didn’t work. Room was clean but very old. Tried to contact management via phone and text no answer We drove around for a few hours came back and grabbed all of our belongings and left. Couldn’t checkin or out because no one was there. I would not recommend unless you have no money to stay in Aruba.

Very nice property owner, great place for price. Nothing fancy in the apartment but it has all you need. Property is pretty with pretty landscaping, pool, and hot tub. Ocean is a close walk, only a couple of minutes with beautiful views and places to walk into the water and swim or snorkel. Mangel Halto beach is a close drive or a longer walk. East place to go to anywhere on the island. Would recommend a vehicle if you stay here. The staff is also warm and friendly and very knowledgeable about the island. Great overall experience.

Expedia shows it Hotel sea breeze apartments which is misleading as I thought it is a hotel. Overall it is nice quiet place but far from downtown so a vehicle is needed. Nice kitchen but bathroom not convenient at all. King bed had very a small blanket and cover sheet, not enough for 2 people. Also noticed lots of mosquitoes so a repellent is needed.

Overall, I loved my stay at Sea Breeze Apartments. Joey the owner keeps the place clean and organized. He is very easy to talk to and listens to your requests. The place is located in a quiet neighborhood with a beach next to it. If you want to experience a quiet local vacation I recommend this place. You can catch a bus to other places within a 5-7 minute walk. But renting a car is the best option.

Comfortable accomodations
It was a reasonable stay for the price. The owner has packed a lot into a little space. The rooms are all stand alone and converge on a communal patio with a pool and cabana to relax in. Each room enters through their patio, bit they are not private. The pool is small, its just meant for relaxing, not much swimming. The whole set up is catered to singles and couples, not for families. There is no door to the bathroom, its just around a corner to the kitchenette. The kitchenette has all the appliances youll need, but make sure you bring your own coffee, sugar, salt, and soap- no basics provided. There is a small grocery store across the street and the beach is about 2 blocks away. The hotel itself is in a nice location for convenience.

The property is in a quiet area and a block from the water. The rooms are clean and each room has different equipment, some have full size refrigerators and some mini's. Some have microwaves others none. The out door grill is charcoal not gas. You need to buy body and dish soap, salt & pepper if you plan to cook. The rooms are not standardized. Joey the owner is living there and needs to go through the rooms equipment.

PROS: The place was very clean and charming. Aesthetically, the place was very pleasing. Joey, the owner, is very friendly. There is a little supermarket located 2 minutes away (by walking) and the apartment is right next to the secluded Mangel Halto Beach. CONS: While I mostly enjoyed myself at the Sea Breeze Apartments, I did have a few complaints. First, there was no microwave. Heating up leftovers was a huge pain in the neck! Second, there's no door - not even a curtain! - separating the bathroom from the bedroom. The curtains in the bedroom, though not sheer, were not heavy enough to block sight into and out of the room. I felt very uncomfortable every time I used the bathroom or came out of the shower!!! Third, it's hard to get in touch with the owner when problems arise and he's not on location. Fortunately, my problems didn't require immediate assistance, but I saw several other guests frantically trying to locate the owner with no luck. OVERALL: For the price I paid, this wasn't a bad place to stay at. It was much cheaper than any of the hotels and resorts in the downtown hotel area would have cost me. Having a car is a must if you're staying here in the Savaneta / Pos Chiquito region. De Palm Tours handles most of the tourist attractions on the island and they DO NOT pick you up or drop you off at this location!!! Bear that in mind before you book your stay and your activities.

Wonder stay in Pos Chiquito
Absolutely loved the place. Local area right next to the beach. Great market around the corner. Apartment was perfect with a great kitchenne awesome pool and jacuzzi tub outside and a cool reading area to just chill at. The owner was great and really has done a nice job with the place. I would definitely return to this property in the future.

We really enjoyed staying at the sea-breeze. We were looking for an affordable appartement to be able to cook during our stay. The best things about the place are clearly the Mangel halto beach 5 minutes away by foot. Not a big beach and not the finest sand but pretty quiet and the water is just gorgeous. A great spot for snorkeling as well. There is a small grocery store 50m away and a bigger one 1.3 km away so you can manage without a car. Joey and his uncle that manage the place are very nice and helpful. What we didn't care much for are : no warm water for showering in certain rooms. The stove is 110 V and takes an eternity to heat. Wouldn't take much to make that great place a perfect spot.

Aruba February 2017 Sea Breeze apparents
The Sea Breeze Apparents are a great place to stay if you like peace and quiet. We enjoyed our time there Joey was a great host and keeps the place nice and tidy. You should bring your own beach towels , and the unit we stayed in didn't have a coffee maker in it ( not the end of the world ). But overall a nice island , and if your staying at Sea Breeze your going to want to rent a car. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes to relax and enjoy peace and quiet.
