I had a decent stay overall. The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly, and the location was convenient. There were a few small issues that kept it from being a perfect experience, but nothing that completely ruined my stay. The room was comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. I would consider staying here again, especially if some of the minor details were improved.

Nice property! Well manicured grounds, cute pool areas, comfortable beds, clean rooms, and friendly service. The only things to note are it is located in a secluded/rural area, a rental car is needed to get around, and there is no staff on-site. Other than that it is a very lovely place.

I highly recommend staying here! I stayed in Unit #12, and my experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish.

Angelique's service was top-notch. She was always available whenever I had a question, whether I called or sent a message, and she responded quickly every single time. That level of communication made my stay stress-free and enjoyable.

The location is perfect, just minutes from the airport and only about 20 minutes from downtown, making it easy to explore the island while still enjoying a quiet and relaxing place to stay.

I also enjoyed meeting the other guests. Everyone had great energy, and the property offered plenty of privacy, making it feel comfortable and welcoming.

As a couple, we had an incredible time. The area felt very welcoming and LGBTQ+ friendly, which made our vacation even more enjoyable.

If you're planning a trip to Aruba, I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay. Thank you, Angelique, for making our vacation so memorable!

Definitely a place to get away from it all, no crowds almost seems like your the only one there. I would definitely recommend getting a car, taxis are not easy to get and it’s a bit pricey especially if you want to explore. It approximately 25-30$ to go to town by cab. The host responded very quickly and addressed all my questions and gave excellent recommendations.

Our visit to Vistalmar Ocean Suites exceeded our high expectations. The property is in a great location to easily access the entirety of Aruba by car. Our condo was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We loved the views from our balcony and from the private dock near the bay--both spots are great for relaxing with a book or beverage, and taking in the sunset. We will 100% stay at Vistalmar when we return to Aruba. As a side note, some reviewers complain about the pet dogs on the property. If you don't like dogs, I don't recommend visiting Aruba--there are friendly stray dogs on all of the beaches and in many of the neighborhoods. The three dogs owned by the proprietors are sweet and well-behaved. If you don't want them around you, gently shoo them away and they will gladly leave you alone. Or you can be like us and welcome their pleasant company while relaxing on your deck or by the pool.

We just got back and stayed at this beautiful property in a quiet, cute and cozy neighborhood from 3/5-3/8.
Hosts were very responsive, friendly and always willing to answer questions. I truly loved the dogs that roam the property, loved \" Diva\" she is the sweetest. Please pet her with love from my part. Room had everything, full kitchen, fridge ect and comfy bed.
Room always smelled nice and as a bonus you have access to a private pier, with chairs and hammock where you can enjoy the calm or beautiful sunsets right by the water. I think Flamingo island is across, so it feels more like a private lake.. My wife and I loved it.
There are some restaurants close by and its very close to the airport. I loved the local vibe it has and not the glitzy, commercialized ambiance you will find in Palm beach. This is the place where you want to be if you want quiet, peace, plently of parking and not resorts all over. I highly recommend.

The property is nice but pretty far from the strip and the main beaches, so a car is necessary. Outdoor is well curated, there are property dogs around the place that didn’t disturb us as animal lovers, but we realize it could be an issue for other kinds of customers. Host is helpful, the girl that does the cleaning is friendly. The biggest issue was probably the washroom set up, the mirror blocks access to cold water, towels holder were falling off the wall. It’s honestly all small adjustments. Room cleaning included on the price for some reason, it’s an extra fee.

The small kitchenette was well equipped for eating in the room to warm up leftovers, making a warm breakfast with your coffee. It would be difficult to cook a full dinner meal due to the size. Prepping a picnic or eating a small lunch would be fine too. We reserved the mini-suite and the room was perfectly fine, clean, bed was very firm but slept well. We realized it was a bit small for us after we were there a night. It felt like staying in a cruise cabin without all the fun amenities of a cruise. The rain shower was great! There are no frills here, it is great for those on a budget. The dogs on the property are very sweet. We enjoyed them. I liked having the private pool. We didn't use the area near the water or the large pools since we drove to beach areas. It is a secluded area away from the tourists & crowds, but has 2 restaurants nearby. We liked not having housekeeping service as we are very tidy & don't need it. We also liked that it felt like staying in your own apartment/condo instead of a hotel. Hearing the planes take off & land was not bothersome as they don't fly overnight. We had no issues with staying here, but will be looking for something with more of a \"WOW\" factor on our next trip to Aruba.

We stayed at Vistalmar to kick off our honeymoon and loved every minute. It’s very private, all the pools are so neat, the private beach dock is BEAUTIFUL, and the most surprising but fun perk was the dogs!!! There’s a lot of friendly, calm dogs throughout the property that add to the experience. One even escorted us to and from the nearby bar one night hahaha

In terms of quality, the rooms are clean, they smell nice, and the public areas are kept very pristine as well. Everyone on the property is friendly. Angelique was very responsive to any issues via WhatsApp, both during and after our stay. Even though you can hear the planes coming in and out of the island, it never felt too loud or disruptive.

My husband would only hope that there’s a way to get fresh towels or our sheets changed if we were to stay longer next time. But we loved it and hope to stay there again!

Angelique was fantastic communicating what we needed to do to self check in. She made sure we had everything we needed to get in to our unit. The highlight of our stay, however were the dogs that were so friendly and gentle. We did not expect those dogs to be so loving and affectionate. Having the experience was quite unique. The dogs even came to visit while I was reading one morning outside by the pool and while we were in the pool one afternoon. Perhaps they smelled the pizza we were having. HAHA… The area where we stayed was very quiet and safe. Although the airport was truly behind us, it didn’t bother us at all considering there weren’t many flights going in and out of Aruba and the flights didn’t come in too early or too late. We were very relaxed during our stay and there would be no doubt we could easily stay again the next time.

Room DID NOT HAVE A SAFE, broken beach umbrella, no beach chairs, no cooler.

This was 9 mins from airport. And the beach access is across the road, yes there’s dogs on the property but they are harmless and I would like to think they waited for me when I got home.

Overall I improvised. And if your a low maintenance then you’ll have a great time. Be sure to cook your own breakfast, hit the beach with snacks and drinks and make dinner reservations after the sunsets.

This property is really off the beaten path on an industrial type of back road. You definitely need a rental car. Lots of stray dogs barking all night and several large dogs on the property. The suite was clean although the bathroom had no ventilation so it was humid and damp. It doesn’t have a “private” beach. It has a fenced in and locked deck across the road, but the water isn’t really suitable for swimming. It’s shallow and weedy with lots of silt covering the weeds because of the boat traffic from the marina down the road. It also backs onto the airport so the planes are constantly flying over, although strangely it wasn’t too noisy. It’s a place you would just use as a base to explore the island, but definitely wouldn’t stay there during the day as there is nothing to do.

I read the reviews of other people staying here and booked it for a week. The moment I checked in, i didn’t want to be there. The place smelled of sewer as soon as you entered and inside it was dirty and just absolutely atrocious.the bathroom was dirty and the sliding door didn’t stay closed. Dogs running around everywhere and barking at all hours, bugs and flies everywhere in our room. I would definitely not stay here again. if I ever come back to Aruba, I will definitely spend a little more and book at a bigger resort to get more cleanliness and better amenities and be much closer to the beach. Although the owners/management were quick to respond if we had questions. I would highly recommend finding a place to stay in Palm Beach. Best area for beaches, restaurants, shopping and just strolling the streets. There is also no private beach.

We stayed in a mini suite in the back part of the property. The design of the suite was very thoughtful. Each small item in the suite was something a guest would likely need but nothing more. It was set up just right for a compact space. There is a fridge/freezer, cooktop, microwave/oven, dishwasher so that you can cook in the suite. There are also exactly what dishes, pots, pans, utensils you will need and nothing more. Each of the small suites at the back have their own small private pool plus there are two more pools: a large one in the back with a cabana and a medium one in the front. You can use these at any time of the day and there is a freshwater shower to rinse off from the chlorine or from being at a beach.
There are 3-4 dogs for adoption that live on the property. They seem a little scary when you first arrive but become friends quickly.
We did not have a car but used taxis part of the time (TAS Taxi Address Service) does not rip you off but uses published rates. The rest of the time we used e-bikes from Tri-bike Aruba. It takes 15-20 min on e-bike to get to Mangel Halto which is a really nice beach. We snorkelled there and enjoyed looking at all the fish.
It was a 15 e-bike ride to get to C-mart which is a great supermarket/everything store that has everything.
A 1-2 minute walk down the road takes you to The Fish House which is nice restaurant that we went to several times.

The place was super clean and trendy. The only issue I didn’t like was the pool jets and lights are not monitored by the individual studios. You have to submit a request and then wait for them to respond by the time the jet for the pool return back on it was two hours before checkout. Also, the bathroom sink was slightly stopped up so the water was draining very slow overall a nice place if I ever visit Aruba again and plan on staying there.

Loved the property! I will definitely rent here again! I love that every smaller villa has its own pool, the beach is across the road, but its on a dead end street, so its not a lot of traffic at all, and its in the bay area of the beach. Its so peaceful! There are dogs, but they dont bother you at all.

Our studio was really compact and cute. Had everything we needed. Only issue was the toilet paper holder and handheld shower sprayer were both barely hanging by a thread on the wall. Once we asked for more towels and toilet paper but did not receive that day and had to ask again next morning. We had our own very tiny pool and there were 2 other community pools which was cool but the tiny one by our room would have been better as a hot tub since so small and there were 2 bigger pools to use. Would def come again tho. Only 5 min from airport. A good restaurant was walking distance on the water. The “beach” across the street was always under water and tiny but covered deck on water with hammocks was really nice. Having a kayak to use was a nice bonus.

We made a literal last second reservation and found ourselves in a perfect situation for a flight the next am. Super, super place to stay, and given the size of the island doesn't really matter that there is a bit of a 5 minute loop around the airport to get there. Great local food walkable, cool Yacht Club and if you like airplanes... lots to see and hear above. The airport closes around sunset so we were comotose without interruption very early. Thank you!

The private room pool was great. The room was clean, spacious, but a little dim in the main room when the sun went down. Our dishwasher was broken and wasn’t fixed during our stay, so we couldn’t use that. And housekeeping had a surcharge for the week, which I wasn’t aware of on the Travelocity app.
The place wasn’t on the beach, ( and we knew that). We had rented a car for the week to drive to whatever beach we wanted. The room had a beach umbrella, which helped with the sun. However, there were no beach chairs provided which made our stay on the beach limited due to the high winds and blowing sand, making it intolerable to lie on the beach using our beach towels that were provided.
The dogs were very sweet and well behaved. They did bark sometimes in the early morning. You have to be careful when moving your car to check that they’re not resting under your car, especially at night. But, we loved them. Diva and Bandita were adorable.

The apartment was amazing, offering a cozy and comfortable stay. Although the bathroom was a bit small, everything was spotless and well-maintained. The area was very quiet, making it perfect for relaxation. We also loved the nearby restaurant, just a 2-minute walk away, which was fantastic. Additionally, we enjoyed spending time at the small pier area where we could sit and unwind. Overall, a wonderful experience!
