Our Guest Reviews

This was our third time visiting Aruba and staying at Sunset Beach Studios. After vacationing with family for the past 25 years, we decided to make this adventure just the two of us. What a perfect decision!!! This small, intimate resort was the perfect choice to get away to relax and enjoy the island. JP and Eve, as well as Jackie and the entire staff have always gone above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and our recent visit was no exception. SBS is a beautiful slice of paradise located close to restaurants, shopping, beaches, etc., absolutely anything and everything you'd like to do, as well as reasonably priced. Neither myself or my husband want to wait a year to go back to this beautiful place and plan to contact the Studios soon and look into securing a reservation for September or October (possibly for 2 weeks this time) If you're looking for a quiet, beautiful and relaxing location to vacation, our opinion is you'll not be disappointed by choosing and staying at Sunset Beach Studios!!!!

If you are looking for a place without a lot of tourists, this is for you. The staff was really nice and helpful and helped us with tips on places to eat and visit on the island. It's close to the more natural beaches on the island and is just a walk across the street to the beach. It's nothing fancy but it's all in the type of vacation you are looking for. If your looking for a basic, clean and friendly place close to the beach, this is it.

This charming quiet piece of paradise created by JP and Eve has captured our hearts. Away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds, just feet away from ocean sunsets. Staff Jackie and Suzie are available to assist with anything from reservations to snorkeling equipment. They are experts on the island. Edna, Juliana, and Marites took care of us as family. This place represents Aruban culture - One Happy Island. It was our third year there and we already have reservations for 2018. Amazing people, amazing place and amazing vacation.

We visited Sunset Beach Studios in March 2017 for the first time and enjoyed our stay so much that we are looking into going again! The office staff were extremely helpful and friendly, the grounds & cleaning staff were always friendly and kept the grounds and our studio neat and tidy. I found that Sunset Staff were very accommodating especially when our flight to the island was cancelled and we had to arrange for different dates. Thank you! You made our stay hassle free, relaxing and enjoyable! So ~ if you are looking for a place to get away from it all, but not too far away from all kinds of activities... this is the place. Enjoy!

We stayed at Sunset Beach Studios four years ago and before deciding to return we checked for availability here as we really didn't want to stay anywhere else. Everyone on staff is friendly, helpful and always make you feel welcome and takes time to answer questions. Lots of the guests stay for a month or more and so happy hour in the gazebo around 5 pm, followed by a walk across the street to check out the nightly spectacle of sunset is a tradition. We love the location....close to everything, not too close to anything loud or glitzy. Sometimes when you return to a place it doesn't live up to what it was before. Sunset Studios present themselves exactly as they are and for a second time exceeded our expectations. We will be back.

Wonderful place to stay! Everyone....the staff and other guests were so open and welcoming! My husband and I spent 1 week in the high rises and 11 days at Sunset Beach, we prefer the quaint atmosphere of our studio by Malmok Beach. Eve and JP are " the best". Can't wait til next year!

I spent two splendid weeks at Aruba Sunset Beach Studios. The studios are arranged around a jewel of a garden that also contains a pool and a hot tub. There are loungers to relax in the sun or you can hang out in the shade of your own small deck. The beach is across the street (but bring your water shoes for this one) or walk/drive a half-mile to sandy Boca Catalina Beach, with its excellent snorkeling. Eagle and Arashi beaches are also quite close by. The studios have everything you'll need and are very clean and very quiet. The owners and staff are sweethearts and the other guests made a solo traveler feel at home. What a heavenly vacation!

This was the best vacation ever. The owners and staff are the nicest group of people I've ever met on any vacation. The other guests were equally as nice and friendly. The atmosphere at this quiet and relaxing home away from home reminded us why island living is the best. We had an ocean view studio and enjoyed coffee on the patio every morning. The sunsets were stellar......Can't wait to go back.

Vic and I think about our stay at Sunset Beach in February often. We talk about our comfy room, our meals on our front porch, the ocean view, the happy hours and the breathtaking sunsets. But none of this compares to the sense of community, family and the many friendships that were formed during our stay. Thank you Eve and J.P. for the memories. We will be back again, and again, and again.

My husband and I spent four nights at the Aruba Sunset Beach Studios. It was a very peaceful, clean and comfortable. The beds were great, room was clean. Even though they have AC if the windows are open you get a nice cross breeze in the room. I have already recommended the studios to folks back home. Jackie at the front desk was so nice and wanted to make sure we knew about the island and what it had to offer. She went above and beyond to make sure your stay was good.

I have been to so many places on the planet but this particular hotel is my personal paradise! It's Aruba totally unexpected. Intimate, relaxing, out of the crowd but across from the beach. This hotel is right past the big main hotels on the main street. The staff is friendly and goes out of their way to help in any way possible. The owners are always there and always VERY friendly. You can tell that they take great pride in their work and property. The gardens and pool deck area. Comfortable loungers, tables, chairs, beautiful flowers and plants, well-lit after dark, never crowded, Wi-Fi, perfect for reading or just chilling with your favorite drink. Pool and beach were both accessible and convenient. The parking is easy. The rooms are simply perfect: well decorated, they have all of the amenities that you need. I know there were other guests there but we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Quiet location. No noise from traffic, nightclubs, restaurants. During our stay, we never had noise of any kind from neighboring guests either. I have stayed with them 9 times and every year i go back to Aruba this is the ONLY place I want to stay. Thank you for making my trips to Aruba perfect. I couldn't ask for a better place to stay or all around amazing experience.

For 21 years we have been coming to Aruba, staying in the large hotels. This was a completely different experience. We felt at home immediately as did the other resort guests - a congenial experience. Intimate, bucolic, charming, hospitable, comfortable. Eve and JP, the owners, are simply delightful!! Jacky, housekeeping and Luis the night watchman were always friendly, attentive and accommodating. The sunsets were breathtaking. New Years at the beach with Eve, JP and the resort guests watching the fireworks, enjoying their company and welcoming the new year was a fabulous experience. 23 days/nights of relaxation, fabulous beaches, great company/service/surroundings in a homelike setting...what more could you want.

Gedurende 14 jaar huren we jaarlijks voor een aantal weken een appartement bij Sunset Aruba. We zijn daar altijd bijzonder tevreden over: een prima appartement, een vriendelijk en behulpzaam team, een fraaie tuin en natuurlijk iedere dag genieten van de zonsondergang.

I was welcomed by Eve and quickly made friends with the other guests. This location was quiet and the room was comfortable for me. Snorkeling gear was available for guests. I appreciated to local knowledge regarding swimming and snorkeling locations. They also suggested I rent a bicycle which worked well for me to see the island

I have stayed 3 times at the Sunset Beach Studios, I love the ocean view studios! Owners and staff are very nice people, they will help you in any way to have a prefect holiday. The location is fantastic, right on the coast and only a 10 min walk to the High Rise area. All the details inside the studios makes it special and makes you feel straight away at home!

We rented an oceanfront room for three days over Old Year's Night and into the new year. The owners, Eve and JP, are very friendly, personable, kind, and run a clean, quaint and charming inn of studio apartments. We were able to see all Palm Beach fireworks from our comfortable, well-appointed porch. We walk everywhere, and this location is about a mile north of the Palm Beach high rise hotels, yet, far more user-friendly, feeling like home, but still accommodated. My husband and I highly recommend, the Aruba Sunset Beach Studios, and will return to stay if the opportunity presents.

JP, Eve and Jackie are some of the friendliest people I've met! They make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The rooms are spacious and all have king size beds. There is a common area to BBQ as well as just relax. The grounds are well taken care of and very beautiful. We stayed for 6 nights and then had to move as they were booked for the length of time we needed. At our new place we didn't have an element to cook on and so asked Eve if they had an extra one could we rent one from them? She immediately got on the phone and JP came over with a brand new cook top! And just politely asked that we return it. So nice! We watched the fireworks New Years on the beach across the street and were simply amazed! I'm sure we had the best view on the island! Have never experienced anything like that in my life! All in all a big for sunset beach and the staff!

You haven't experienced New Years until you spend it here in Aruba. At Sunset Beach Studio apartments, you are a few feet from the Caribbean and you are in the perfect location to watch the fireworks across the island but the highlight is the amazing show put on by the high rise hotels. It is absolutely breathtaking. Everyone in Aruba gets into the spirit and the fireworks start very early and keep on going until way past midnight!! People fill the beach in front of the apartments to watch the amazing show across the water. Even the folks on the beach bring huge amounts of fireworks to share. Being so close to the water allowed us to watch the sunset every day and relax and enjoy our visit in our very comfortable surroundings. The studios are very nice, well kept and the staff and surroundings are excellent! This is an easy place to get to, has beautiful surroundings and is a great way to relax and enjoy a vacation.

We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Studios over Christmas Break. My husband & I stayed in Ocean 2, and our teenage kids stayed in Garden 7 & 8, right near the pool. We have been to Aruba before, and have stayed at the Hyatt and the Holiday Inn. Sunset Studios was a much better value given our large family (6). We come to Aruba for the kiteboarding and windsurfing, and Sunsets location is just minutes from the fisherman's huts where we rent equipment from Aruba Active Vacations. Great snorkeling right across from our deck, beautiful Arashi Beach just a quick car or bike ride to the north, and the Ritz Carlton and other high rise hotels another quick ride or walk to the south. It is so nice to park your car right in front of your room - no elevators or weaving through the corridors of a large hotel. Cozy garden and pool area was very peaceful and relaxing. We watched the sunset every evening from our covered porch. The kids loved biking to the Pelican Peer for great wings & burgers. Hubby & I enjoyed happy hour at Moomba Bar, near the Holiday Inn. The entire staff was friendly and very accommodating. JP the owner was always available to answer any questions, and he provided lots of good information on activities and restaurants (better than a concierge). Sunrise Studios feels like home - we will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Aruba sunset beach studios for 2 weeks. A lovely place with a cozy garden and pool area . Great location at Malmok beach, a 2 1/2 min. drive to Arashi Beach, the best beach in Aruba! (According to all the locals!) Awesome sunsets across the Street. Clean and comfortable studios. Owner and Staff are Very friendly and serviceminded! Helped us with a rental car upon arrival and grocery shopping for a small fee since we had a late arrival. Much appreciated! We will definitely come back to this lovely place!!! Ia Anders & Viggo
