I traveled to Aruba for a girls' trip. Six of us stayed at Merlot Villa and it was wonderful. The home was clean and spacious, Frank and Ivan were extremely nice, as was Bran, who helped us get back into the house when we accidentally locked ourselves out! The community is close enough to the resorts that many of our planned excursions actually came and picked us up outside the gate so we didn't really have to worry about transportation. We did have a rental car to drive to Baby beach and some of the other areas downtown, but we did see people walking from the neighborhood to the beach neat the Marriott. Overall it was a great experience, I highly, highly recommend this place. P. S. If you're staying in unit 47B, we left our lounge floats for the next guests to enjoy. :-)
