We had an absolute wonderful 2 weeks on the beautiful island of Aruba. Our host (Sturat) made us feel at home immediately and all of his must do's and restaurant recommendations were spot on. The pictures do not do the home justice and we loved the local birds and iguana's that visited us daily. Villa Aloe has all the comforts of home; whatever you pack - re-pack and take half. Aruba is a very casual environment; bring suntan lotion and willingness for adventure. We will return to Villa Aloe and our new friend Sturat.

The place is even better than we thought! When we arrived, Stuart came to welcome us. He told us we could call him anytime if we needed anything. He answered all our questions regarding the house, but also what to do in Aruba, what was the best way to move around, etc. The house is amazing. It is even better that what the pictures show. All the sleeping rooms have air conditioning. The door from the living room to the terrace can be opened completely, making it a single, huge space. The table outside fits perfectly 9 people. The kitchen is super well equipped, with kettle, toaster, dishwasher and anything else you can imagine. And not to speak about the gas bbq there is in the garden. We had amazing barbecues. There is even an excellent sound system to which you can connect your phone via bluetooth. Now, the swimming pool... is also amazing! There are three seats as in a bar, and a bar at the other side! The chill out zone in the terrace is also perfect! The only thing that was not working when we arrived was the heat pump for the jacuzzi, and they came to fix it. The day after it was not working again, but we did not call to tell them. I am sure they would have come to fix it again. We even got a complimentary cleaning of the house half way through our stay (we stayed 8 nights), which was very useful! The villa is located in a residential neighbourhood, where there is not much to do, but there is a big supermarket within walking distance (2 minutes walking). In order to discover the island you definitely need a car, but I think this is the case in Aruba no matter where you stay. I would recommend this place 100% to anyone going to visit Aruba!

You can´t go wrong with Villa Aloe Aruba. Everything was perfect, since our first contact and reservation until our arrival at the house and our stay. The owners are very kind and make everything to make you feel at home. The house is amazing, with very confortable rooms, a very well equiped kitchen and the backyard of your dreams. We also rent a car with them and it was very nice!

This was our first time in Aruba. We loved the island because there is a lot to do and the beaches are really nice. The snorkeling is great in Arashi (the only one we visited). The people are all really friendly (which is different from several places we have stayed in the Caribbean).
This villa is lovely. The owners have taken the time to make everything easy for the guests. They have looked after every detail. Everything is labeled with instructions and a book so that you know how to work the amenities, right down to the light fixtures and remotes.
The landscape is very well kept as is the pool. The house is full of high quality furnishings like dishes, cookware, cutlery, utensils, and pleasing artwork and furniture. The owners have made this house like they were staying there, not renters. There is plenty of snorkel gear and floaties. The gym is very nice and air-conditioned with a TV. There are more towels than you can use. It is all very clean and well arranged, not haphazard like most rental houses. The alarm was very simple a push button remote, no access codes. The Garmin and the phone were very easy and helpful. The arrangement for the rental car could not have been better.
We had one small problem with house that I won't even describe because it could not be foreseen by the owners. Stuart was there within ten minutes and handled everything perfectly. He is a very kind person with tons of experience in hospitality, as is his wife Julia. She was also very helpful.
I don't often leave this kind of review, but I can't imagine someone having a bad experience at Villa Aloe. Enjoy your vacation and feel confident with this Villa.

We just returned from our stay in Aruba and we loved the Villa Aloe Aruba! From the time we made our reservation until the time we got to Aruba, if we had a question, it was answered immediately. The villa is beautiful and had everything we needed. They provide nice bath towels, and they even provide nice heavy beach towels. They provide a GPS for you which was a huge help to get around the island. We loved the beautiful openness of the villa. The pocket doors allow the breeze to enter the main portion of the house and the bedrooms are all air conditioned. The area around the villa is beautiful. We spent quite a bit of time in the pool and we were also a short drive to the beach so that was nice. Our grandson (21 months old) was so excited about the toys and outside playhouse that was there upon arrival. They will provide age appropriate toys and special needs if you just ask when you make the reservation.
Thank you Stuart, Julia, & Ardeline for everything!

We arrived this past Wednesday and this place is more than I expected. The attention to details and the extraordinary customer service make this place a true paradise. We still have a few day left and I couldn't wait to write a review. It is just beautiful..
