Savaneta Holidays from £989

Our visit to Vistalmar Ocean Suites exceeded our high expectations. The property is in a great location to easily access the entirety of Aruba by car. Our condo was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We loved the views from our balcony and from the private dock near the bay--both spots are great for relaxing with a book or beverage, and taking in the sunset. We will 100% stay at Vistalmar when we return to Aruba. As a side note, some reviewers complain about the pet dogs on the property. If you don't like dogs, I don't recommend visiting Aruba--there are friendly stray dogs on all of the beaches and in many of the neighborhoods. The three dogs owned by the proprietors are sweet and well-behaved. If you don't want them around you, gently shoo them away and they will gladly leave you alone. Or you can be like us and welcome their pleasant company while relaxing on your deck or by the pool.

The rooms were clean and the staff was very good. The Wi-Fi was intermittent at best and leave a lot to be desired.

My niece stayed at Joia in March 2026 and it did not disappoint. We were greeted with wash clothes to wipe our hands and was then given a yummy drink that had ginger in it. The lobby was beautiful. Kayla was warm and inviting when she checked us in. She told us, we were upgraded to a swim up room due to my Expedia status. The bellman was so nice that escorted us to our room. He explained all the room's features. The room was really high-tech. You didn't have to put out a sign that said you needed housekeeping. It was a button that you would push that you either needed housekeeping or you didn't need to be disturbed. The experience was 5 stars from check in, room service, the three restaurants, infinity pool and the bars. Berny was the lobby bartender and he was the greatest. I asked for a dirty dirty martini and it was filthy. Thanks Berny your service was impeccable!! I have only good things to say about this resort. I would unequivocally without a shadow of a doubt recommend this resort. It was gorgeous. The staff was beautiful. It was clean the restaurants served good food and the alcohol was definitely a step above other places that I have stayed. I can definitely see myself returning to this resort. The island is just so gorgeous. During the time we were there it was beautiful 80° weather with no humidity.

Another great stay! The bathroom renovations were very nice, bright and refreshing with lovely rainshower head. Rooms, pool and outside areas are clean and well maintained. Great staff!
