  • Cheerful rooms with microwaves and furnished terraces, some with sofa bed

  • Outdoor pool set in a lovely courtyard

  • Beach chair and snorkeling gear rental

Bottom Line

Arubiana Inn is a two-pearl hotel close to Eagle Beach. While the property is pleasantly removed from the
hustle and bustle of the island’s busy beachfront strip -- it's a 15-minute walk to the beach -- there are still a
number of restaurants and shops found within walking distance. The 18
guest rooms are simple and inviting, and all have small terraces
overlooking the picturesque courtyard. It may be worth comparing rates and amenities with Carinas Studio Apartments.

Scene

Intimate guesthouse offering basic but convenient amenities

The Arubiana
Inn is delightful and down-to-earth, with only a handful of rooms laid out
around an appealing courtyard and pool. Terra-cotta-roofed buildings and potted
plants add warmth to this simple set-up. Amenities are limited, but guests
choose this hotel for its serene ambiance rather than its exciting on-site features.
With Eagle Beach located within walking distance, along with other beaches and
attractions a short drive away, most guests spend their days exploring the
island and return to the hotel only to sleep. The clientele tend to be couples, though the option of connecting rooms make it a solid choice for families as well. 

Location

Secluded, residential setting outside downtown Oranjestad

Arubiana
Inn is located on a quiet back street, a 15-minute walk from Eagle Beach. The
neighborhood mainly consists of family homes, but there are several restaurants
and shops within walking distance, including the large Super Foods
grocery store, a seven-minute walk away. The
casinos, restaurants, and bars of the buzzing High Rise part of town can be reached
in a five-minute drive. More shopping and dining can be found in downtown
Oranjestad, which is less than 10 minutes away by car. Queen Beatrix International
Airport is a 17-minute drive away.

Rooms

Charming rooms with private terraces and mini-fridges

Guest rooms at Arubiana Inn are quaint and homey, decorated
in palettes of taupe or navy blue. Decorations are a bit different in each
room, but might include cute seashell curtains or collections of mirrors with
ornate frames. Family Rooms feature sofa beds, and interconnecting rooms are available. All rooms offer small furnished terraces facing the pool. Large wall units include closets, mini-fridges, microwaves, kettles,
and cutlery. The closets hold personal safes and coolers that guests can
take to the beach. Some rooms have wall-mounted flat-screen TVs, while others
have old-fashioned tube sets.Tidy, no-frills bathrooms have walk-in showers and round
sinks but minimal counter space. Dispensers are stocked with shampoo,
conditioner, and shower gel. Some bathrooms appear to have been updated,
offering more modern-looking square sinks and dual-flush toilets.

Features

Rectangular pool located in a pretty courtyard and free Wi-Fi

Arubiana Inn's features are simple, straightforward, and limited. The hotel’s
medium-size pool is set in an attractive courtyard surrounded by a few
lounge chairs, but shade is limited to one palapa. There’s a
sheltered patio overlooking the pool furnished with wicker chairs and round
tables. Breakfast (not included in room rates) is served here or in-room for an additional fee, but there's no full restaurant serving other meals and no bar. Free
self-parking is offered in front of the property, and free Wi-Fi is available
throughout. Beach chairs and snorkeling gear rentals are available through the front desk.
