    My wife and I have always stayed at large high end resorts. This was a last minute weekend getaway. We decided to save some money and try something different. Boy are we glad we did! It is absolutely fantastic. We felt so much more comfortable and welcomed than we would have been paying $1000 a night at the Ritz-Carlton across the street (it is literally across the street). I can’t recommend Karibu Aruba enough enough and hope you give it a chance like we did!

    Simply amazing, we were greeted by our host Andras and his wife Benja ( hopefully I spelled it right) who showed us around and made us a welcome drink. They provided us with towels, beach chairs, recommendation. Our room was cleaned daily. This place is highly recommend as an alternative to the high cost hotels across the street.

    The place was beautiful, clean and great location. The atmosphere felt very warm and the owners/hosts (Andras/Beja) were incredibly friendly and helpful. Isabel kept everything running smooth as well, doing a great job. We look forward to our next visit back to Karibu Aruba.

    10 out of 10. Amazing Hosts and staff. Amazing location 6 min walk from major hotels and casinos and nearly 10 min walk to mall, bars and amazing restaurants. B Nearby bus route that runs every 5 min thst stops at 1am. Will definitely come again.

    I love that the hotel was a 10 minute walk from great eateries, the beach and other hotel chains that had casinos and for my starbucks finatics that too. Another 10 minutes takes you to shopping and more restaurant options. If you want the ability to really relax and be in a smaller spot, this is the place. The owners were incredibly nice and accommodating. Would 10 out of 10 stay again. They definitely take pride in their property, are hands on in ensuring your happiness and are just really kind.

    Absolutely wonderful place to stay. The owners are so nice and helpful. Anything you need they helped you with. The place is very clean and very quiet. You can go anywhere there and relaxe. The bonus is that it is a short walk to the beach and hotel strip. We will definitely do this again.

    The attention to detail was fantastic. This is the best boutique hotel I stayed in my entire life. The owners were fantastic and very attentive to our needs. I spend 200+ nights per year in hotels and this one is one of the top places I stayed.

    My niece and I stayed at this boutique hotel and loved it. We felt like we were home away from home. We could not have asked for more attentive, helpful and pleasant hosts. We look forward to returning "home."

    We had a lovely time at this boutique hotel! Room with all the essentials. Super-clean! Easy walk to the beach and bars&restaurants. Nice pool area to relax in. Most of all: super-kind owners who make your stay special. Thank you❤️

    I would give 10 stars if I could. This is by far the best experience with a hotel that my husband and I have ever had. The attention to detail was amazing! The owners greeted us and made us a juice drink when we arrived (after a very long day of travel). They talked to us for a moment and told us if we needed anything at all to let them know. The room had a fridge, oven, sink, coffee maker, and tea kettle (anything needed if you wanted to cook!). The pool was beautiful and often times we had it all to ourselves. They had snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and everything needed to enjoy the island. It is a very short drive to any beach and we had no trouble at all driving 2 minutes away and parking to enjoy the beach. We had our own parking spot for our rental car. The room we booked had two doors, one to the common area and one to the pool. One of the best parts was the room service. The very nice woman who cleaned our rooms was so amazing!! She was sweet and helpful and every day we came home to a very clean room and fresh towels. She helped call us a cab when it was time to go back to the airport. I can't say enough good things about this place. This is the way to go if you want to go to Aruba, everything has been thought of and you have a nice comfy place to be when you aren't out exploring or enjoying the beach. It felt like we were leaving family when we had to go, that is how welcome we felt. A beautiful wonderful place. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!

    My husband and I recently stayed here. I can not say enough wonderful things about this place. It is absolutely lovely and the owners, and staff, could not be nicer or more helpful. You will not be disappointed. Beautiful place!

    This is hands down one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The staff is fantastic and really care about their guests. Throughout the trip, they enhanced our experience with little touches, like daily towel art in the room. The rooms are clean, well maintained, and extremely comfortable. Moreover, the location is great, safe, and an easy walk from the beach. Bonus: they also have the sweetest resident cats! Whenever we head back to Aruba, I’m definitely staying at the Karibu again.

    If I could give the service 6 stars I would! Super easy checkin, very pleasant staff and the room is lovely! Walking distance to the beach and cute drinks upon arrival. Very glad we booked here! Also the towels are folded into swans 🥰

    Andras, Beja, & Isabelle (the housekeeper) are all incredibly warm and amazing people! They really care for your stay to be as enjoyable as possible. Andras even offered to take us places when we didn’t have a car yet & took me to the Aloe Factory for soothing Aloe for my sunburn! They are available to answer any and all questions and they never judge you for asking anything at all! The place is absolutely gorgeous, with so much comfortable seating & lounging around the pool & indoors. There’s a supermarket walking distance (that also had a phone charger when mine stopped working!). There’s also a gorgeous & huge Marriott walking distance, and so is Palm Beach, restaurants, & an Arubus stop!! My dad also enjoyed getting pampered at the Chabad nearby (He’s Israeli so it was just perfect. :)). What a special place Karibu is!! :)
