    Everything was perfect!

    We had a wonderful stay at this property. Loved the apartment and all the amenities, as well as the daily delicious breakfast. Good wifi signal and big smart tv. Large refrigerator and kitchenette has everything you need. Excellent air conditioning units. Large bathroom. Beach lounge chairs are always available. We will always remember the amazing sunsets while sitting in the balcony. Will definitely return to this place!

    I have stayed at this property several times when I visited Aruba over the past 5-years. The location is central to downtown Oranjstead and this makes it easily accessible to all parts of the island. The staff is attentive, grounds are immaculate and the office workers are friendly and caring. Breakfast on the balcony daily is an added bonus!! Rates are great and budget friendly. Rooms are nice sized and works well for solo or family travelers!

    It was really noisy at night due to nearby beach club. The breakfast is the same every day, which gets a bit repetitive.

    Aruba Surfside Marina is a beautiful and peaceful spot right by the water. The rooms are spacious and well-kept, and the staff is friendly and helpful. A perfect place to unwind and enjoy the best of Aruba!

    It is on a busy street and a beach is pretty but shallow and full of seaweed, not really swimmable. We took some great pictures though. There is a decent beach about couple of hundred feet away. No restaurant on premise for lunch.

    Easy to get to, easy to get to town, several beaches nearby, great restaurant on premises open for dinner, on the water; breakfast on the balcony with the view of the ocean. Very friendly and helpful staff. Staff was AMAZING!!! I arrived by cab and a driver didn't have change. Caroline at the office paid for the ride herself!!! Of course, I gave her money back but it was so incredibly trusting and gracious of her.

    I love everything about this place.

    Spacious and clean room with closet, toiletries, safe box, comfortable bed. Breakfast is delicious, they will serve it everyday at the time is convenient for you in the balcony with an incredible ocean view. Staff is friendly and always happy to help. They have beach towels and beach chairs for free, quiet beach is just in front of the hotel. Also, you will have access to a few steps beach club with no cost beach chairs. Sunsets are wonderful there from the beach or your room balcony. Downtown is about 20 walking and you can take buses (10A or 10B) from there to eagle beach or palm beach just for 2,6 USD one trip. I highly recommend this place for a fair price and quiet area

    A couple of the night it did get a little loud in the area.

    It was so cute, I loved that there were only 5 rooms and only adults. Also right on the beach was a plus.

    Aruba Surfside Marina met and exceeded our expectations for the end of our weeks in Aruba. The balcony view was lovely, the suite was perfectly clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location with parking was very good. The breakfast served on our own balcony was excellent. Expecting a continental style breakfast, we were served a full breakfast with hot food as well as cool fruit and juice. The menu was different each morning and served at exactly our preferred time request. We were upgraded to a larger suite when we arrived which was a pleasant surprise. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating in allowing us to choose a check in time and allowing us a late check out time because of a later flight. This was certainly a welcome contrast to the busy, crowded areas of the big resorts. We recommend it!

    If you like a more private beach and relaxing, that’s the perfect spot. Hotel staff is great, the cleaning of the room and public areas is very good. Our flight was late in the day so they helped us with luggage and somewhere to have a rest, even after our checkout. The view from the room is exceptional.

    That we had to leave

    Simply brilliant! The value for money was great. The room was spacious and clean and we always had enough towels including beach towels. The breakfast on the balcony was stellar. Fresh fruits, ham, cheese, eggs....(picture shows only a small part of the breakfast). Alexandra welcomed us and showed us around. She explained the surroundings and gave restaurant recommendations, which we gladly followed. We were allowed to enter the room already at lunch (due to our early arrival) and had the possibility for a late check out. This location does not need a car but it could come in handy. Restaurants, beaches and supermarkets were in walking distance.

    Perfect location to chill out and relax: 15-min walk to center town and cruise ship terminal, and 10-min walk to a nice beach with beach bars and restaurants. Great restaurants nearby. Balcony with sea view to eat the breakfast they prepare for you.

    The mosquitoes

    The room was the best of the three I had during my stay in Aruba.Loved it. Clean and fresh. The terrace was beautiful but I could only use it for a limited time at a time due to the mosquitoes. Even if the location is very good at Surfside Beach and Oranjestad, I preferred to stay at Eagle Beach or Palm Beach

    Not much.

    Location was great, just off the beach and it was very nice and quiet, far away from the busy hotel area. You can have the beach for yourself! You can easily walk to Oranjestaad, and there are plenty of nice restaurants around.
