To celebrate our 50th anniversary our extended family of 11 adults and 1 child stayed at this tropical villa. The villa allowed privacy for all of us with its five secluded bedrooms. The outdoor space was exceptional. We spent many hours in the pool, enjoyed the outdoor speakers, volleyball area, hot tub, and large table under the palapa. The outdoor camp chairs were great. We took them to Aruba's wonderful beaches with us every day. Grocery stores, restaurants, beaches, and St Anna Catholic Church were only a short drive away. Javier, the property manager, was onsite upon our arrival to greet us and show us around. Javier and Diego prepared food for us twice. The Latin barbecue and three types of ceviche were fabulous. They also handled the clean up afterwards. We enjoyed picking lemons from the fruit tree on the property for our tropical drinks. Owner Kurt answered all of our questions and checked in with us during our stay.
Some things that would make the villa even better would be vinyl bath mats for the tile showers, as these can be slippery. This is not a problem if you were waterproof sandals in the shower. We would have preferred stainless steel cookware but managed with the non stick utensils provided. The ice dispenser could not keep up to our use. An additional ice maker would be nice for a large group, but nearby stores have plenty of ice. If we return to Aruba as a large group, we would love to stay here again!
