I cannot tell you enough how extremely pleased we were with this property! Not only was it super clean, but it's beautiful, and literally located in the best location on the beach (in our opinion). It's literally a block from Boca Catalina beach which had plenty of shade under the trees for our little ones, and the best snorkeling in Aruba - the excursion boats drop all of their paying customers here and we could just walk over from our house. We couldn't ask for more! The owners provide plenty of chairs, an umbrella, beach towels, and plenty of floats for the beach and pool. You don't need to bring anything with you. You're also 5 mins to the Ritz Hotel (they have a great coffee shop), drive through coffee shops (Island Grind is my fave), and plenty of restaurants. The grocery store (Superfoods) was maybe 8 mins away? Ling and Sons grocery is better, but maybe a bit more expensive. Arashi Beach was a short 2 min drive and they have a beach shack with drinks, food, etc. Arashi was a larger beach, but it was much busier and the snorkeling wasn't good. We preferred BC! Ruben and his team are wonderful - they made sure we had everything we needed. He even installed an alarm on the sliding glass door to the pool because I was worried about safety with our kids (5 and 2). We cannot say enough good things about this property! I don't often stay in the same place twice when I travel because I like to experience new things, but I will absolutely be back to Ruben's!
