Our first trip to Aruba was everything we hoped for an more. The communication with the host, Angela, prior to our trip was terrific and very helpful. Upon arrival, her son Jose met our family at the airport making our transition to the island quick and easy. Along the drive to Casa de Reyes, Jose highlighted some local stores, pastry shops and beaches we should be sure to check out. And when we walked into the home for the week—we were spoiled with a beautiful charcuterie and fresh bread/pastry spread, along with some chilled drinks in the fridge! Casa de Reyes’ location in Noord proved to be an excellent location—minutes drive to one of our favorite beaches (Eagle) and convenient to many other beaches, and to getting around the rest of the island.
The home was clean, had the amenities we needed (full kitchen, multiple bathrooms and bedrooms, laundry, pool) and should any issue arise, or if we had any questions about the property or even Aruba in general, Jose was beyond helpful. The outdoor space at Casa de Reyes is where we spent most of our time when home. The large dining table & covered bar and lounge area, complimented the pool and the overall outdoor experience. We dined, drank, swam, played games…spending quality family time in a home that made us feel just that—at home. The finale of our beautiful week—was a sunset pontoon boat ride on ‘Boobas Happy Place’ (captained by Jose). If you do one thing on the island…take this sunset ride, it was awesome!
