This gated Off-Grid place was beyond our expectations. Every amenity you could ever need with the best Host ever!! We spent 12days during December, allowing us to settle in and feel at home with the locals. You are surrounded by gardens and Moringa trees. The hosts attention to detail makes your stay comfortable and relaxing. The outside kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessities and even a BBQ . Having the private pool to retreat too after a long hot day was the best. The air-conditioning at night allowed for a comfortable sleep. If you feed the 'quiet' chickens (scraps from the fruits & vegetables you eat), you are welcome to their delicious farm fresh eggs :) The added bonus is being greeted each day by the hosts loving dogs.
This place is so Quiet & Peaceful, you won't be disappointed!!
Staying at this property was AMAZING!!! The check in process a hassle free and so was our stay there. The location is close to everything. If you are looking for a place away from the hustle bustle of the everyday live, this is the place. Property looks exactly like the photos, if not better. THIS PLACE IS A GEM!!
Loved the remote location that was still close to amazing beaches, activities, and restaurants. The garden is beautiful and serene. Outdoor kitchen was a fun experience and enjoyed eating breakfast in nature.
We stayed here to be near the national park and to avoid the chaos of the tourist areas. Christine and Carlos are wonderful hosts. They were available any time but also respectful of our privacy. They took time to share a hike and a meal with us and show us around the area. We really enjoyed the time spent with them. The suite is beautiful, clean and new with a nice view of the surrounding national park. The outdoor space and gardens are beautiful and private and separate from the main house so you have your own space. You will definitely need a car as it is a bit remote but still close enough to get to the beach in 5 mins. Many nice beaches and restaurants and hiking close by. The only issue we encountered were some gnats that apparently come out after it rains a lot. They were a bit bothersome and we had to keep doors closed at times. Christine brought us bug spray and repellant sticks which helped. I believe this is an occasional occurrence and not a constant thing and we just happened to be there after a big rain. We were gone most of the days exploring the island and ate out every night so we mainly slept here. The AC at night made the suite very comfortable. Itâs very quiet, bed is comfortable.
An infestation of fruit flies made the apartment unlivable in the week we booked. They cup in your ears, nose and eyes. The dog was completely covered. No spray will help. After three days of discusion the owner said she was willing to refund half of the rent, only if I would write a positive review first. Incredible! The cute chickenâs you see in the photo are in a run less than a meter away from the apartment. This attracts flies. The two doors of the appartement have no mosquito screens. Before you go to sleep you must therefore spray with poison in the bedroom. The view is ruined by a rusted container left there.
We loved our stay in Savaneta! Christine and Carlos were perfect hosts, they even picked us up from the airport. The property is gorgeous and somewhat secluded (which is nice if you would like to visit the non-resort side of Aruba). The beaches on the south of the island are super close by and pristine. The apartment was clean and cozy, we particularly loved cooking our meals outdoors. Make sure to rent a car, itâs a bit of a trek to get to the property. But when you get there, definitely check out the hikes around Christineâs place.
