This place is amazing! But manage your expectations. Someone left a similar review explaining how beautiful this place is and how perfect it is to have a very low-key relaxing time. No glamour, just causal and beautiful! But if you go with the expectation of a highly commercialized highly manicured resort this is not the place for you. There is no hot water but you don’t need it. This place has everything you need, beautiful views every direction, private beach, intimate atmosphere, immediate snorkeling off beach, access to kayaks and canoes all for free (check out by the honor system) access to all the snorkeling gear you need, access to beach chairs and coolers to take to other beaches like baby beach that was very close. We went grocery shopping at a local grocery store Marcos supermarket and got enough breakfast and lunch for the week (the place had a little mini cooler in the kitchen, we packed to go lunches almost every day not knowing where we would end up) and we splurged on dining out at night. Plan at least one night at the flying Fish bone restaurant next-door, (same owner) reservations needed, we hit there at 6 o’clock which was perfect because we saw the sunset as well. We plan to return next year!

Amazing family-run hotel. Heads everything you need for a peaceful stay in a beautiful islands. Gorgeous beaches are just a quick drive away. Sunsets are stunning. And you can grab a kayak/canoe and still away onto a little island to town on your own. Loved the place.

This was the most epic trip ever. I didn’t know what to expect because I’m used to “All inclusive” but they had a kitchen stocked with pots, pans, and dishes for us to cook in which came in handy. The grocery store was a quick drive down the road. The staff was super friendly and communicative. The place was clean and felt like a little community. Also they had a cat that lived in the area that was adorable, I named him “Don Julio”. He was super sweet and friendly. Made it feel like home. They even let us use their water gear(snorkeling gear, flippers, sea shoes, and Kyaks) for free even though there was a sign saying it costs. There were families there fishing and using the grill to cook their food (If you are a meat). My partner and I had an amazing time and fully recommend this place for anyone who doesn’t want to do the whole Resort thing and just wants a real experience. We can’t wait to go back.

Great experience. Away from the main tourist hotels but still wonderful experience. Access to Beach and great for swimming in protect inlet. Can paddle or swim over on small islet and see the sea glass. Can walk over to the Flying Fish Restaurant. Staff is extremely friendly and helps to point out the great spots on the happy island. Highly recommend it for the away from the normal hotel room stay. Recommend getting a car rental but taxis are available with a quick call.

This place is a gem if you’re looking for a quiet place away from the touristy stuff. We loved it here - they are so friendly and keep it immaculately clean. Use of the beach coolers, chairs, snorkel gear, and kayaks so such a wonderful bonus. If you are looking to be near the attractions, just know it will be a bit of a drive. If you are looking for quiet, serene, perfect paradise….here it is. Also - the power went out one night on the island and CR staff showed up right away with flashlights!

Very good, cosy beautiful place, view is a 💯 amazing, small nice beach, the only inconvenience I can mention for people who don't like be surrounded with others famous restaurant right next to the hotel restaurant also good food but little bit expensive . For me and my wife it's definitely way better than resorts it is more like a wild live vacation

Had a wonderful experience and beautiful Hotel. Management and staffing are very courteous and helpful. Super friendly and welcomed. This is my third time in Aruba and second time staying here. Had recommended my entire family and friends. Will be back soon!! Love love every bit of this hotel.

Great place to stay. We got complimentary upgrade room for the same price. We got excellent help how to manage the vacation. Advice to rent car (Smart Rent strongly recommend too) and basically made all our request real at no time. Manager(host) are very nice people, they treated us like a family. On last but not least this place has small but nice beach with great snorkeling. Free kayaks and snorkeling equipment for free, hammocks and etc and etc and etc. Rooms nice and clean and best restaurant in Aruba next door(10% discount for Coral Reef Beach guests) . Have a best vacations like we did.

Staff very friendly and helpful. They even have a very friendly cat who hangs out to greet you. Us guests enjoyed the cat’s companionship and providing it with food. The location was also nice, as it’s in a quiet residential area. We also liked the sea kayaks and floaties free for use. The ability to eat breakfast and lunch in our apartment saved us a lot of time in restaurants.

It is very quiet place. Small cosy hotel. Location-it is on the other side of island far from all touristic zones. If you need ,music all night long, bars and crowd-you are at the wrong place. At this place you need to have a car. But it is much closer to natural park Arikok with natural pools,bridge and all those wild beauty that you might like to see on island.plus 15 min away from Baby beach,which is we liked the most. Will tell you all pluses and minuses of the hotel. Let’s start from pluses. It’s romantic,quiet,sunny place. Very friendly people. You really feel like home. At room you have everything you need. We had one of the best rooms with sea view on the second floor. N6. Nice small beach,very relaxing porch with chairs,so you can enjoy sunrise and sunset. Very safe to swim. Nice white sand and a lot of shade,that is very important in a very hot day. On the territory we had kitchen,which is not so fancy but had everything to cook. Territory is safe and very clean. Now rooms- it had normal Quine size bed,clean sheets,tv,small shelf and safe. Plus some tableware,fringe and kettle. We had 2 beach towels and some towels for shower. And the most important thing was AC. Now minuses- very small Room, built from veneer and wood. Big shower with two faucets,but one was broken. For two people they gave us one big towel and 3 small. Don’t know why:) at night we met some cockroaches at the toilet and were forced to close all bags(who wants to bring it home) As you see pluses much more than minuses. So if you like nice quiet vacation and you rent a car you can book this place bravely. One more thing,there are two restaurants beside-one is very nice but very expensive (Blue fishbone) and other is much cheaper,extremely nice fish and shrimps but not fancy at all (Zeerover)

Everything was perfect in every single way. Amazing place, amazing hosts, amazing location.

Beautiful and cozy please it’s very simple but you can feel the peace around the nature

Nice place, restaurant nearby, friendly crew

A different experience, private beach ⛱️ waterfront resort with snorkeling, canoeing all included with kitchen and appliances with a spectacular view of ocean from your room. I'm Diffently going back oneday.

Stayed here last Xmas and miss it immensely. Location is great is you rent a car and are able to explore the entire island.
