Beach House Aruba is a two-and-a-half-pearl hotel located
directly across from Hadicurari Beach. The hotel’s eight rooms, apartments, and
suites are homey and cheerful, with most offering lovely open-air kitchens or kitchenettes. Features are limited to a small but appealing pool and free Wi-Fi -- there's no restaurant or breakfast service. Set within an appealing garden, the hotel feels like a secluded retreat, yet the
bustling High Rise district is a 10-minute walk away. Travelers might want to compare rates with the nearby Carinas Studio Apartments, though this property lacks a pool.
Scene
Colorful guest house with laid-back ambiance
With ocean breezes and a quiet garden, Beach House Aruba matches
most people’s ideal image of a simple, charming beachside guest house. The grounds are as quirkily cluttered as the guest rooms, decorated with potted plants, palm trees, mosaic tables, and assorted lawn ornaments. A wooden walkway winds its way past a few palapas that shade wooden tables and chairs. Steps lead up to a platform featuring a little triangular pool bordered by a wooden deck on one side, which includes a long palapa shading colorful lounge chairs with cushions. The hotel is set across the street from the tiny, white-sand Hadicurari Beach, which is closed in by greenery on either side. A rectangular palapa and some lawn chairs are set up on its sands for guests. This hotel seems to mainly attract couples of all ages, and the property doesn’t offer any particularly
kid-friendly amenities.
Location
Tranquil location between Palm and Malmok Beaches, within walking distance of the High Rise area
Beach House Aruba is set along one of the island’s main
beachfront boulevards. The High Rise district’s shops, bars, casinos, and
restaurants can be reached in a 10-minute walk, yet the hotel feels worlds away
from this busy strip. The nearest beach (across the street) is a bit cramped, but Malmok and Palm Beaches are both accessible in less than 15 minutes on foot in opposite
directions. Arashi Beach and
the California Lighthouse can be reached in a 10-minute drive. Downtown
Oranjestad and Queen Beatrix International Airport are just over a 20-minute drive away
Rooms
Quaint rooms with eclectic decor, with most offering private palm-roofed terraces
Guest rooms are individually decorated with a quirky and
inviting mix of patterns, colors, and knickknacks. Flowers, plants, candles,
shells, and stones add character to the bedrooms and living areas. Some rooms
are decorated in bright pastels, while others mix primary colors with bold
prints. One room has a seashell chandelier, while another includes a
gilded-framed oil painting. Combined with palm-roofed terraces and terra-cotta
floor tiles, these seemingly hodgepodge items come together to create low-key,
beachy hideaways. Bathrooms are small and simple, with round sinks, minimal
counter space, walk-in showers, and no toiletries aside from hand soap. Apartments offer well-stocked kitchenettes, which include
full-sized fridges, hotplates, coffeemakers, and cookware. These kitchenettes are
set on beautiful lanai (Hawaiian palm-roof terraces), which also feature outdoor
dining tables plus seating on comfy sofas and chairs.
Terraces face toward the hotel’s garden-filled grounds, with some overlooking
the pool. Suites -- some of which have multiple bedrooms -- offer larger kitchens with four-burner stove tops, and
dishwashers. Kitchens are indoors, set in open-air living spaces furnished with
couches, chairs, and dining tables. Additional dining tables are out on
the terraces. Suite bathrooms are significantly nicer, with marble tiling, large walk-in showers, and bidets.
Features
Small pool and easy access to Hadicurari Beach, but few other features
Amenities are limited overall at Beach House Aruba, but it's the delightful rooms and intimate ambiance that draw guests here rather than flashy features. The small, triangular pool is a nice feature, but not large enough to entice most guests to lounge on its deck for extended periods. Across the street, Hadicurari Beach is pretty but miniscule. The grounds are comfortably furnished with lounge seating and hammocks, and there's a grill available as well. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and free self-parking is offered on site.
