Our Guest Reviews

We absolutely LOVE staying here and won't even think of staying anywhere else. Only scenario for that would be if it becomes so popular we can't get a reservation. Even then, I think we might change our dates so we could. We have only been gone a week and wish we were still there. My husband keeps saying we should have stayed! For me, having grown up in Aruba, but no longer having family there - staying here is as close as I can get to coming back home. Every time we've been there we meet new people and have the best time. This time was no different. One day we hope to be back when they are there, too. JP & Eef - you truly created a special island paradise when you began these studios. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and shared love of the island. (Goes for Jacky, Suzy, Aida, Edna, Diana, Luis, Dom, and Erowen (sp?), plus there was someone new I only spoke to once - but she was like the rest of you). Love and miss you all - thank you for such a wonderful time. It was the BEST.

Hi Eve, JP, and Team,

We really wanted to thank you for everything. You helped make our trip an experience we will never forget. You are really lucky to live on such a great island and we will surely let our friends know about your lovely place!

This place was perfect for us to celebrate our 40th anniversary. It was even better than I expected from the great reviews. We rented the Large Ocean View Studio. It was clean, comfortable and very quiet. Had everything we needed (you don't need to bring beach towels). Stayed for a week and rented a Jeep to do our own excursions. Some of our favorite things include combing for seashells and watching the sunset right across the street! Watching the sunrise from the lighthouse. The ride from Alto Vista chapel to the Natural Bridge (beautiful coastline). Eating at Red Fish and Madame Janette's and breakfast at Ricardo's looking over the beautiful beach! Highly recommend!

We stayed at Sunset Studios during my first visit to Aruba. It was beyond my expectations. Truly a home away from home. Small and intimate, but only minutes away from great shopping and activities. The staff is warm and friendly. I would say forget the big hotels and stay here! You'll be so glad you did. The beach is only steps away and The name is very accurate: the sunsets from our ocean front room were breath taking. I can't wait to go back!!

This is a great location! The beach is literally steps away. It is also great if you prefer to relax away from the more touristy hi rise area but also a very short drive away from the hi rises. The studio was clean and had all of the essentials. The staff was extremely kind and welcoming. We were on a girls trip and the studio was a little small for 3 women putting on make-up but its the perfect size for a couple and small children.

We were very happy to spent times in your nice accommodation during the Aruba Hi Winds Events (7 days), Your team was very charming. The comfortable studio was well cleaned and well equipped with all cooking utilities, Excellent air conditioning. Swimming pool, barbecues, close to the beach (30meters !) and 2 minutes from our windsurf event, 20 minutes from Oranjestad/Airport. JP, Eve, Jackie and the cleaning team very efficient. Very nice and relaxed place to be! I will recommend your Sunset Beach Studios and will re-book next year. With my best regards to you all !

Quiet, pleasant, extremely clean and very well located!
The location of the Sunset Beach Studios is excellent, nearby there are hotels and other shops, restaurants and supermarkets. Beautiful sunset and sea view. The apartments are great, big bed and full kitchen. Cable TV and air conditioning are great. Staff very attentive and friendly. Pool is nice and the hot tub even better. Very cozy environment with lots of greenery. Room extremely clean every day, and very well maintained. Very close to Arashi beach, quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend to all !

You will love this place, dine in front of the beach with an awesome ocean view. The staff is super kind and always there to help you for everything. I suggest to use their rental car partner very efficient and good prices. If you are a kite surfer you can kite in front of your room or go to Boca Grandi (always windy!!!). This was our second time and we will come back for sure.

I don't have enough words to emphasize what an amazing place this is!!! We came to Aruba for the first time three years ago and stayed at Sunset Beach Studios for the length of our stay (and loved it). This year we had a chance to return to Aruba because my parents wanted to explore the island. They booked their stay with a very big and well known hotel chain and wanted us to stay with them. I only mention this because three years ago I knew Sunset Beach was special but this year after spending some time with my parents at their hotel and then returning for one night at Sunset Beach I got such a dramatic illustration of how much better and authentic Sunset Beach Studios is compared to the big chains you will find just down the road.

Sunset Beach Studios only has a handful of rooms, the property is small and intimate. The place is the epitome of peacefulness. Something I noticed very quickly at the outset of our vacation was that the big hotel was built with no respect for or appreciation of the constant breeze in Aruba. We fought the breeze in the parking lot and fought the breeze at the pool. I don't know if it was intentional or not but Sunset Beach seems to have been built to embrace the constant breeze. There is a sitting area with a table by one of the entryways and it is so relaxing just to sit there and let the breeze cool you off while you look at the ocean across the way...or let the breeze cool you off while you're sunning yourself on one of the lounges near the pool. The courtyard is shaded and has flowering trees and vines of flowers hanging off of the rooftops, it's beautiful!
The rooms have a small kitchen space with a refrigerator and microwave oven as well as a portable hotplate/stovetop.
The rooms are simple and clean and spacious and there is a binder with tons of information and recommendations for things to do around the island. Three years ago when we came here I thought that being so close to a main road would mean that we would hear cars and traffic constantly but you don't! It is so quiet at this place! It's perfect.

Sunset Beach Studios is so nice. If you want to enjoy a quiet peaceful island holiday this is the absolute best option. I will never consider staying at a different place in Aruba; I've experienced simple perfection and that is really all I want.

This is a very nice place to relax and a great base to explore the island. Rent a Jeep and have fun poking around the dunes and back country. Clean, comfortable, and fairly inexpensive. I will be back.

Very comfortable rooms right on the beach! I will never go anywhere else when I come back to Aruba. I highly recommend staying here. This place is perfect for a group of people as there is one large room and more smaller rooms. It is a great place for a family trip or a friend trip. The view is to die for and the staff is great to talk to. It is quiet but still close to the wonderful beaches.

This was my first trip to Aruba. I am very picky about the places we stay when traveling. Sunset Beach was perfect for us. We had 2 other couples with us and this was the perfect situation for all of us. There is a beautiful hut that seats at least 10 people with a huge table to have coffee, cocktails, or just converse at. This area over looks the pool and the ocean. You can also sit in the hot tub and see the ocean. The property is immaculate, beautiful garden areas. The rooms are darling and clean with a small kitchen fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, etc. (we chose to eat out most the time.) The property is across the street from the ocean and you can watch some of the best kite surfing in the world on your front porch. We rented a jeep and did some 4 wheeling on the rougher side of the island (which was awesome). Very close drive to all the main beaches. The staff was amazing and very helpful.
Perfect location, quite, clean, the staff is wonderful! We will be coming back to Sunset Beach in Aruba!!!
