Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My husband and I stayed at OceanZ for a long weekend. The hotel is lovely. The property is impeccable. The rooms and amenities are top notch. The staff is friendly and attends to each guest's needs. We love boutique hotels for this type of experience and OceanZ did not disappoint. I highly recommend a stay at OceanZ!

We've visited Aruba a number of times. Previous stays included the Marriott, Hyatt and renting private homes. Since this trip was a short 3 night stay to celebrate a birthday, we decided to stay at Ocean Z. We have dined here before (one of the best restaurants on Aruba) and we always wanted to try the boutique hotel associated with the restaurant. We booked suite 11 which is one of two suites that have their own shared plunge pool. They are also 2 of the 3 suites that offer an ocean view albeit across the small parking lot and road but it's a nice view nonetheless. The rest of the suites face the courtyard pool. I wouldn't consider it a "suite" by the truest sense of the word. It's more of a large king bedroom with a nicely appointed bathroom and large walk-in closet. The windows open to a deck with lounge chairs and the shared plunge pool with the suite next door. I don't believe the other suite was occupied during our stay (we certainly didn't see anyone), so we had the pool to ourselves. Ocean Z in located approx. 1.5 miles away from the Ritz and the start of Palm Beach so it's a bit remote but that's its charm. You're away from the crowds, the malls, shops, etc. However it does help to have a car since there's nothing really within walking distance and the restaurant only offers breakfast and dinner. Besides its quite and comfortable setting, the staff at Ocean Z is what sets it apart from just about every other hotel on Aruba. They are outstanding. They get to know their guests personally within the first few minutes of arriving. They will take you to the beach, pick you up and provide you with anything you need. Every inch of the property is cleaned and looked after constantly. Ocean Z is a great choice if you're looking for a comfortable, quiet stay with great service.

Enjoyed our stay here at Ocean Z. If you’re looking for a quiet, modern, luxe vibe here is the place to go. You get a personalized experience! You’re greeted by name daily, all amazing. Most definitely would recommend to anyone, especially the convenience of being dropped off to/from Arashi Beach.

Ocean Z is a beautiful & elegant boutique hotel away from the crowds. I recommend this hotel 100%. The rooms are beautiful, tastefully done, with amazing bathrooms that include huge sliding glass doors that open to the outdoor shower. Absolutely spectacular. The bathroom is massive. The rooms are comfortable, the air-conditioning works well, Everything is elegant and clean. Beds are perfect. Coffee maker and fridge in the room. The pool is absolutely great and there’s plenty of room to sunbathe. Excellent lounge chairs. The staff is super friendly, helps you with absolutely everything, and make you feel most welcome. We ate in the restaurant several times. Loved it. Much better food than the mediocre meals you get near the big hotels. Highly recommended.

My boyfriend and I decided to book our first trip to Arbua for December 2023 and we weren't sure exactly where we wanted to stay. After reading many reviews about Ocean Z Boutique, we figured we would try it! Not only did this place exceed our expectations, but it truly made our trip 10x better. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with Champagne with a view from the water across the street! All the staff gave us exceptional service, but especially Vivi! She truly made us feel at home. She was so kind, funny, and so welcoming that my boyfriend and I looked forward to seeing her each day for breakfast. Anything we needed, we would call the front desk, and it was brought up in minutes. The food was AH-MAZING!!!! We had dinner at the hotel on our first night with food cooked by a French chef, and it was to die for. There was live music, and it was a lovely atmosphere. While eating, the hotel owner would visit each table to ensure we were doing okay. Breakfast is included and served to your liking each morning. There is a cute little cove next to the hotel, Tres Trapi, that my boyfriend and I fell in love with. We were able to watch the sunset and be in a quieter spot on the beach where it felt like just the two of us. We navigated the island using the bus, which was like $3 USD one way, which was cheap and we were able to go into town or visit Eagle/Palm Beach. We cannot wait to book our next trip and return to Ocean Z Boutique. It was nice to be away from the busy hotel strip and enjoy a quieter, laid-back atmosphere.

Wow...what a hotel and staff...without the crowded hustle and bustle of the highrise hotels, OceanZ has the quaint, personalized specialty hotel on the north side...and the restaurant is First Class in the entire Caribbean...!! We ate dinner there 3 nights out of 5...!! Breakfast was superb every morning with Bebe putting a smile on our face...Staff was always helpful with any request - thank you Maria attending to our requests...!...BeBe gave great service with such a wonderful personality...Jennifer was helpful for the day to day hotel needs...Eva, what a great environment created here...we will definitely make a return trip in the near future - that semiprivate pool was used several times a day, perfect for watching the catamarans and pirate ships slip by...pure joy
