San Nicholas Noord Lourdes Grotto Hotels

"I can’t stress how good this experience was. I traveled with my wife for 3 nights. We travel monthly and see a lot, so when I tell you this secrets baby beach was perfect take my word for it. The extra cost is nothing for the return on investment. Butler Erwin was fantastic, food, drinks, people, beach, pools, room, all was perfect. Not one complaint."

"Our stay at the villa was fabulous and the hosts were very attentive. We enjoyed our first evening's meal in the backyard and loved that they did our shopping and stocked the fridge upon our arrival. We didn't feel the need to leave except for a few dinners out....we had massages under the palapa, relaxed in the pool, and enjoyed the various places one could enjoy the view. Thanks for a great stay!"

"Aaaaaah Serene by the Sea. What a perfect name. I booked my flight and stay on a Monday and landed in Aruba that following Friday. Being an entrepreneur + lawyer + living in New York City = as you can imagine, I was in desperate need of some serious R&R. Serene by the Sea was everything I needed for my solo trip and more! When I arrived, I was greeted by the owner and her son (I believe) who were happy to welcome me and take me to my room. I dropped by bags off and could not get my bathing suit on fast enough to get out and enjoy the sun, the sea, and the beautiful scenery. I woke every morning to grab some sun and the delicious breakfast made by the house chef (who is the owner's brother and also doubles as a driver and tour guide if you need one). I took daily naps in a hammock while listening to crashing waves. I sat out on the beach chairs journaling, listening to relaxing music on my little speaker, and just having some good 'ol quality time with God. Before I headed out, I had a lovely massage on the Serene Floating Massage deck. What a lovely, relaxing experience! There is a sign that says "come as guests and leave as friends" and this is so true! If you're in need of some quiet time and relaxation away from the noise of everyday life, I highly recommend you consider Serene by the Sea. You won't regret it!"

"Having been to Aruba multiple times, we’ve stayed in our fair share of rentals, but this place is hands-down our favorite so far.The location is unbeatable. You are on the first street of houses above Baby Beach, which made our beach days so easy. The house itself was spotless when we arrived, and as a group with two rental cars, we were thrilled with the parking situation. There was plenty of room for both vehicles (honestly, you could probably fit even more if you needed to).We’ve already decided that we’re staying here again for our next trip. If you’re looking for a clean, convenient spot away from the high-rise crowds, this is it!"

"The house is beautiful and the bedrooms all have lovely en suite bathrooms. The dock next to the house provided instant entertainment to everyone in the house since we could swim and snorkel right off the dock! Relaxation abounds as you sit by the pool and look out at the ocean. "

"Please do not go to coral reef. It’s a terrible place. The picture you see online is not real; the bathroom is full of mold, the shared kitchen is dirty; the owner is a ripoff and l can go on and on. I had to leave after 2 nights even though my stay was supposed to be 5 nights. So go figure. Terrible terrible place. There was construction being done on the premises and loud noise of banging from the workers was disturbing. If you prefer a run down place, Coral Reef is for you! Don’t waste your money and l have videos to prove my point."

"Excellent place to stay if you want to be close to Baby Beach but a drive to everywhere else, home was very nice and clean and the host is excellent. Everything in the home was provided and also items for the beach to use. Well worth the price paid ."

"Was amazing!Arnold was so gracious and helpful with check in and places to eat etc..His home is everything you could possibly need to make it the perfect vacation. We especially loved the outdoor space. Would definitely return."

"This is my 2nd stay at this Villa and won't be our last! Great location for relaxation and great snorkeling right in front."
