Our Guest Reviews

My wife and I recently booked several days at Aruba Sunset Beach Studios prior to our extended stay at one of the premiere resorts on the island. Our reaction to this exquisite boutique hotel was as unexpected as our shared reluctance to leave for the reservation at the larger resort. Unlike the familiar and predictable experience in the all-inclusive resort sphere this marvelously understated spate of studios was a sublimely tranquil and rather unique surprise amid an otherwise banal anonymity of tourists and overtly commercial offerings. In the mornings the wind whispers through the palm fronds which canopy the hotel, and directly across the street the breathtaking turquoise waters await. A ten minute walk from the studios finds several ideal swimming and snorkeling coves of unquestionable beauty. Both the hotel itself and the sheer seductive force of the island take hold of you, pulling you into a solitude of meditation and wonder. Laura proved to be a delightful and generous host, and I cannot overstate my recommendation to friends and family to sample such a quaint alternative to the big resort fare amid something which harkens back to another time, a kind of old-world eloquence of simple pleasures and the resonating memories imprinted. I cannot wait to return in the winter months for yet another welcome departure from the blunt imposition of the big city...thank you so much Laura!

We just returned from a wonderful visit to Aruba - and the accommodations at Aruba Sunset Beach Studios made it perfect. Beautiful tranquil setting, clean, small and personal. Kitchenette helpful to make some meals - great grill and large table area when visiting with a group of couples! Best sunset location. Snorkeling access great right across the street. Location is perfect to lots of restaurants, shopping, beaches - walking within 1.5 miles. A car is handy to see other sights but the island is small and easy to get around. Really very friendly island to visit. The staff at Sunset Studios helped with dinner reservations - they have everything you need to rent, chairs, snorkeling equipment, etc. Thank you Aruba Sunset Beach Studios.

My husband and I just got home from our third time staying at Sunset Studios! It is the perfect place to relax! Everyone is so friendly and watching the sunsets from our studio is beyond perfect! Fabulous place to stay if you want to relax and heal your soul!!! Elsa and Charlie

Where does one begin when the hospitality at Aruba Sunset Beach Studios has been nothing short of "Service Excellence." Booking our reservation was easy and very prompt! Eve also looked after booking our car rental! JP, Eve, and the entire staff are the most welcoming crew we have ever met! Upon our arrival, we were greeted with a very warm welcome , great conversation, and a cold beer! We arrived a little late, but JP advised us where to go for a great dinner, just minutes away! (Delicious) Our room was spotless and had everything we needed! Waking up every morning in Ocean 2 to the sunshine, overlooking the ocean was magical! The sunsets are second to none! The property, "A Little Piece Of Heaven", is absolutely beautiful. The gardens are stunning, lovely pool and jacuzzi! A huge shout out to JP, Mack, and Nik for a couple of private lessons (not sure this is available all the time) but you made my wife feel at ease! You guys went above and beyond! I came a windsurfer and left a wing-foiler! Thank you for a wonderful stay. You guys are the best. See you next year ! ❤️❤️❤️ Sandra and Tom

We had the pleasure of being guests at Aruba Sunset Beach Studios. We are delighted with both Aruba itself and the beautiful place run by delightful hosts. There was everything a family of four needed to spend a pleasant time in the apartments and the entire complex, The kids enjoyed the swimming pool all day long. The rooms are very clean, the ladies who work there, were very nice and helpful. You can see that everyone puts a lot of heart to make this place so friendly, Every detail is refined❤️❤️❤️We will definitely be back to Aruba and definitely to Sunset Beach Studios. Best Regards, Marta and Wojtek

We just returned from 3rd stay at the studios. I couldn’t see staying anywhere else on the island. The staff are amazing and set the tone for the studios and the stay. The word that best describes Sunset Studios is home.

Warm, Welcoming Wonderful Stay! My husband and I just returned from our second stay at the Aruba Sunset Beach Studios. JP and Eve and the Sunset Team welcomed us with their warm, friendly and always helpful presence. We love staying here and can't wait to go back. The view is lovely with gorgeous sunsets right across the street at the beach. We really enjoy sitting on the deck and having our morning coffee and breakfast looking at the ocean. The room, as always, is well cared for and kept clean. It's more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. Having a small kitchen and refrigerator makes our trip easier and more enjoyable. We can pack lunches and spend the day at the beach! We enjoy meeting the other guests and sharing our experiences in Aruba. We learn a lot by hearing about their adventures. Whenever there is a snag in our travel, JP and Eve are happy to help us out. We had a flight cancelled this trip and they were standing by to assist us if we needed to stay longer. They are super accommodating and will go out of their way to meet your needs. The studios are super close to some of our favorite beaches. In 5 - 10 minutes you can be at at least three beautiful locations for snorkeling and swimming. Arashi Beach is one of our favorites. You don't even need to snorkel to see fish in the water. Sunset has beach chairs and snorkel equipment for rent or you can get chairs and umbrellas at the beach. It's a very warm, friendly and beautiful place to stay. My only hesitation in giving a five star review is that it will get so popular we won't be able to get a spot next year!

This was our first visit to Aruba. We found out about Aruba Sunset Beach Studios from my brother and boy what a find. We could not have asked for a better place to stay! The room was nice and clean with a great view of the ocean from our patio. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. They made us feel at home. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning next year!

Just got back from our 3rd stay and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you guys for making it a great vacation for our family!

A Gem of a Place! Something has to be really special to keep us coming back year after year. JP, Eve, and the staff have managed to make Aruba Sunset Beach Studios a magical place. They strive to make sure each guests needs are met, and more than likely surpassed. The magical atmosphere under the big poolside palapa brings folks together from all walks of life sharing experiences. With Aruba growing rapidly, we always know we have our special little gem to enjoy! Booking is a breeze, questions are promptly answered. All the rooms are adequately furnished and comfortable. The pool and hot tub are a gathering spot for guest to enjoy. The staff is available to answer your questions, help book excursions, or make dining suggestions. Since 2006 we have continued to return to enjoy Aruba and the warm atmosphere of Aruba Sunset Beach Studios.

Small Resort within walking distance of restaurants and beach The staff at Aruba Sunset Beach Studios are very helpful, they frequently checked in to make sure everything was okay and offered to make any reservations for restaurants and excursions around the island. Every email I sent got a response almost immediately prior to our trip. The pool was small but very clean and the hot tub was great. The other guests were friendly and many were repeat customers. The ocean was directly across the road, so I could walk everyday along the ocean.

This was our first time in Aruba and we were mainly researching the hotels and resorts for rooms with ocean view, and Aruba Sunset Studios was an accidental find for us. But like so many other guests of Aruba Sunset, we expect to be repeat guests. The website information as well as the pictures of the studios are accurate and per expectations. The process of reservation was very professional, with prompt communications from either Eve, Marit or Ivy from the Sunset team. We had lots of questions for the team before we got to Aruba: location, getting around, walkability, car rental and so on and we received patient and detailed messages in response. We were in Aruba during peak Christmas season and rental cars were hard to get, but the Sunset Team coordinated and helped us get a car. While we were there, Marit, Ivy and Eve provided lots of tips and support - restaurants, places of interest, how to get there, making calls sometimes on our behalf, or providing a list of grocery stores that would be open during Christmas and their hours. We followed their guidance and didn’t go wrong, was a very enjoyable trip. JP was around a lot, chatted with us and provided some local color too. Very warm, friendly and professional team (including the housekeeping staff) - the quick personal attention is a huge contrast to the large resorts and hotels. We stayed in Ocean 2, was great to wake up to the ocean every morning and watch the glorious sunset every evening. The patio facing the sea was a very nice place to relax, even during the occasional rain. Location - it is about one mile to go from the Sunset Studios to Marriott Stellaris hotel, the beginning of the Palm Beach stretch (high-rise hotels). We often walked to the Palm Beach area (going left from Sunset Studios), about half of which would be on a lit, paved sidewalk, so very doable. That sidewalk also runs up to the Boca Catalina beach on the other side (going to the right from the Sunset Studios). The full pathway is just over a mile end to end each way, great place to get exercise with a full view of the ocean. All the beaches are accessible from Sunset Studios - Malmok Beach is right across and others are very short drives - Arashi and Boca Catalina to the north; Palm Beach and Eagle Beach to the south. Further south, and a longer drive gets you to Baby Beach. The California Lighthouse, which is close-by, is a must. Snorkel and dive zones (the Antilla shipwreck) are nearby as well (though we did neither). There are other places to discover during a relaxed vacation and the Sunset Team was very helpful in that regard. Overall, we had a wonderful time being based out of Aruba Sunset.

The most accommodating staff I've ever come across. Every detail has been thought out and implemented. The View, it's spectacular and we loved every minute of it! This place is so special. It took me this long since our visit to write a review. I don't want others to know, LOL! We've been to Aruba more than 10 times and this place was by far the best yet. I really can't say enough about it. We loved our time here. Looking to return in the near future. Thank you Aruba Sunset Beach Studios.

Great location and friendly staff with well equipped accommodation. Definitely recommend.

The moment we arrived at Sunset Studios, we felt welcomed. JP, Eve, and their entire staff are so friendly and accommodating. The studios are very cozy and very well stocked. Rooms have a great view of the Caribbean, and the sunsets are breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious pool and jacuzzi. The outside dining area was so great. We had many dinners on the grill under the stars. The location is perfect. Not far from the amazing shops, so many restaurants, entertainment, and all the different amazing beaches. Thank you JP, Eve and to your entire wonderful staff for making our stay so amazing and memorable. We will definitely be booking with yall on our next trip to Aruba. We would highly recommend staying at Aruba Sunset Studios.

Always a wonderful stay here in Ocean 1. Last stay was 2017, this time I brought the ashes of my best friend and travel companion. It was truly an amazing trip and I accomplished the healing I prayed for. Thank you Aruba Sunset for making my stay by myself so comfortable (almost like my friend was with me in spirit, and as always Jesus had me in his arms). You are very special people!

Fantastic location, incredibly well stocked, and superlative hosts! Windsurfing and kitesurfing across the street and with a chain of the best snorkeling beaches just north. The apartment kitchen had pretty much everything, plus they have tons of property amenities: pool, jacuzzi, grills, access to watersports equipment, and on and on. Almost everyone else there were repeat guests and knew everyone by name, and the owners greeted me personally when I arrived. Plus I could watch Caribbean sunsets from my garden apartment porch nightly. Why would I stay anywhere else?

What a wonderful little “Gem”. They even helped us with a rental car! The place has everything you would need for a wonderful stay. Pool, hot tub, barbecues. We were in Garden 8 which met all our needs and was a perfect location. We then moved to “Large Ocean 1” which was very roomy and had great views of the ocean and sunsets. Our first day at Sunset Beach Studios I cut my leg and Eve took me and my sister to the Emergency at the hospital. Eve stayed with us the whole time, we couldn’t have asked for more. Eve was so helpful for us and the hospital staff was great too. JP was in Amsterdam and we met him when he got back home. We sure didn’t let this wreck our holiday as we were there for 2 weeks! We would definitely come back and stay at Sunset Beach Studios, all the staff are so friendly and helpful and everyone there is like “Family". Thanks Eve and JP, what a wonderful place you have! Plus a lot of awesome guests! Cheers, Brenda and Dawn

Our 2nd visit to Sunset and it was great! The studio, grounds, owners and staff are the best ever! Our only complaint was time moves too quickly there! Cant wait to return!

Stayed in the Garden 2 Studio for a week, just lovely if you don't want the hustle and bustle. Super nice hosts, great pool to cool off, BBQ possibility, we didn't miss anything, if Aruba again then Aruba Sunset Beach Studios :-) A car is an advantage for shopping and the hosts helped here too!
