Top Donkey Sanctuary Hotel Reviews

Oceanfront @ Mangel Halto Beach, Snorkel, Scuba, Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this location because you can't get any closer to the beach. Plenty of room to spread out and relax Beautifully decorated."

sweet chalet in paradise

10/10 Excellent

"This was a cute place to stay, and while in the hosts property it was very private. The host was amazing and very knowledgeable about things to do in the area as well as excursions around the island. She was even able to set up most excursions wanted. The AC worked great and the pool was a nice touch after we had been out for a long day. We would definitely stay here again."

Beachfront Bella Horizonte 3

10/10 Excellent

"The view of the beach so beautiful and quiet and peaceful"

Ocean Front Property - Villa 1 Aruba

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn’t have been happier with our choice here. About a 20min taxi to the “tourist” areas but the local restaurant near the villa are arguably better than the ones on the north end of the island. Beaches near us were relatively empty in comparison to the north end of the island. Only suggestion I have to future visitors is to keep the bathroom door shut when running the AC. The room gets very cold once you do this. Otherwise, it can get a little toasty. 5 stars all around. If we come back to Aruba we will be staying here again."

Ocean Front Property - Villa 3 Aruba with Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the stay a lot. Clean room, with jacuzzi inside the room, with small kitchen, affordable, better to rent a car because far from the city"

Caribbean Corner Home "Tropical"

8/10 Good

"House has a great outdoors. It is a little on the old side but that is part of the charm. The host was amazing! Very responsive and kind. Anything we could have needed for the beach was available to us.Nothing they can do about this issue….the neighbors dogs are very loud and bark a lot."

Bella Horizonte - Beachfront 7

10/10 Excellent

"it was a great experience at this unit only problem that i see is management leave your key to your unit in the door which anyone can go into your unit and management is unresponsive to questions or concerns"

Private 2 bedr property with amazing view. A 5min drive to Mangel Halto Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Ein tolles Haus mit Charakter und Geschichte! Sehr schöne Lage mit Blick auf das Land und das Meer.Die Terrasse ist traumhaft, um tagsüber oder abends zu entspannen.Hier kann man nichts falsch machen :)"

3-bedroom house with private pool in wonderful Pos Chiquito

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The pool was fantastic and became one of our favorite places to unwind after a day of exploring Aruba.We rented a car, and the location was perfect. It was just far enough from the busy tourist areas to enjoy some peace and quiet, yet only a short drive to the beaches, restaurants, and everything downtown has to offer. It really gave us the best of both worlds.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting Aruba. We would be happy to stay here again on a future trip!"
