My stay with Dirk and Mariel was overall a 10/10 experience !! They are both super friendly , helpful , professional and attentive !! When I booked , I originally booked for only 2 night but I wanted to extend an extra 3 and they assisted me to the best of their ability and accommodated me . I usually don’t like to stay at homes with the hosts on the property but this one was such a blessing .. they made me feel safe and as if I was home .

Wonders Boutique was a welcome surprise. We stayed at "Wonders" for two nights to end our 12 day stay in Aruba (our 4th trip to this beautiful, friendly Island) and enjoyed the quaintness of the hotel. Gaston welcomed us at his hotel on our 3 hour early arrival from a 1 week stay at La Cabana. The room wasn't quite ready which presented no problem as we were able to relax in the beautiful garden setting around the pool. This hotel resort clearly displays the personal touch that Gaston and his...

The most amazing thing about this hotel was that it didn't feel like it was on Palm Beach with all the high rises, it just felt like you were in your own little corner of Aruba. The staff is super friendly and always happy. The breakfasts were just the...
