Karibu Aruba Boutique Hotel

The hotel is a very short walk to Palm Beach. It looks close on the map but thanks to a more direct path not seen on the map, it is even closer. Less than 10 minute walk and you are on the beach. There are many restaurants and activities in the area as well as a pier if you're looking to charter a fishing trip. The hotel itself is small and sweet. Just adorable. A quiet retreat from the busy beach area. Cool with the a/c. The pool area is beautiful. We had the pool to ourselves the entire week and were able to use it any time of day. It is owned by a welcoming couple who literally made us each a cocktail upon our arrival. They will assist with anything you need. From arranging transportation as well as providing anything you might need to enjoy the beach such as beach chairs. If you are looking for a quiet, tropical setting that is also close to the beach, this is the place for you

Amazing boutique hotel, the hosts are very attentive and assist with all your vacation needs. Every thing is super clean and hand scrubbed. The location does not really require a car, beach was less than 10 minutes walk as the property right across from Marriott. It was just me and my teen daughter and we walked back from main street at 11pm and area felt safe. For my fellow Jewish tribe members the Chabad is less than 5 minutes away walking. Noord supermarket was about 10 minutes walk as there is a common kitchen and fridge if you like to get few snacks and store it. You can’t go wrong with Karibu

Karibu Aruba Boutique Hotel is wonderful! It is very inviting and comfortable. Our room was very clean. We had a small kitchenette, which was just right for us. A small table for eating. Cascading waterfall shower and comfortable bed. We were also provided robes and slippers. Outside each room has a table for 2 in the courtyard. There are also couches to sit back and relax. They also have a common kitchen available if you need more space to prepare something to eat. The pool is a nice size for the size of the boutique hotel. They supplied towels for the pool. Plenty of chairs to relax in the sun and shaded areas for sitting. Andras and Beja are amazing hosts.

Andras and Beja are super hosts. They are warm, welcoming and very helpful with local knowledge, restaurant recommendations and things to do. This boutique hotel is immaculate, well maintained and cleaned daily. The pool is clean & perfect for a cool off dip. We feel Andras and Beja are our new friends that we look forward to keeping in touch with and returning to stay with next year! Done

We just got back from Aruba two days ago and I can't say enough great things about this little gem. It's a 2 minute drive to the strip of hotels, so you can enjoy the beaches and nightlife and return to tranquility at this 3 apartment hotel. Andras, Beja and Isabel are wonderful people that go above and beyond to make your stay a great experience. They offer airport pick up for free, not that we needed it, and also beach chairs, beach towels and snorkeling gear for our day trips. The back patio and pool were relaxing and quiet and the open front courtyard was breezy and comfy to sit and read, or talk. A common kitchen is available as well as mini fridges in each room. Andras made excellent recommendations for excursions and also arranged a horseback daytrip for us, having them pick us up right out front. If you want to be close to the beaches without the crowds of the high rise hotels, I strongly recommend Karibu Aruba!

This is by far the best experience with a hotel that my husband and I have ever had. The attention to detail was amazing! The owners greeted us and made us a juice drink when we arrived (after a very long day of travel). They talked to us for a moment and told us if we needed anything at all to let them know. The room had a fridge, oven, sink, coffee maker, and tea kettle (anything needed if you wanted to cook!). The pool was beautiful and often times we had it all to ourselves. They had snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and everything needed to enjoy the island. It is a very short drive to any beach and we had no trouble at all driving 2 minutes away and parking to enjoy the beach. We had our own parking spot for our rental car. The room we booked had two doors, one to the common area and one to the pool. One of the best parts was the room service. The very nice woman who cleaned our rooms was so amazing!! She was sweet and helpful and every day we came home to a very clean room and fresh towels. She helped call us a cab when it was time to go back to the airport. I can't say enough good things about this place. This is the way to go if you want to go to Aruba, everything has been thought of and you have a nice comfy place to be when you aren't out exploring or enjoying the beach. It felt like we were leaving family when we had to go, that is how welcome we felt. A beautiful wonderful place. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!
