Our Guest Reviews

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!

Stayed November 22. Aruba was on my Bucket List and didn't disappoint. Very lucky to find Sunset Beach Studios at first time on the internet, stayed in Large Garden 1. Brilliant set up, staff were excellent and very helpful, always greeted with a smile. Ideal location with easy access to the beach and Hotel strip. If we return, I will not hesitate to book same accommodation, thanks again for making it an excellent Vacation. P.S. Amsterdam was fab 😎🍻⚓

Simply amazing, everything was just perfect. The property and staff were heavenly.

What a wonderful little gem. We usually stay at a time share, but having used our weeks for the year, and still wanting another trip down to Aruba we booked a studio here and are very glad we did! Studios are nicely furnished and the kitchen is equipt with all the basics. (Electric kettle was a nice touch to go with the French press) Complex is a short drive to Arashi Beach, Tres Trapi and Boca Catalina. Staff is friendly and extremely helpful, we will definitely stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful week

We enjoyed our short stay at the Sunset studios. The room was just the right size. Everything was in working order in the suite. We took advantage of the pool, but not the hot tub. Beautiful grounds on property. We would definitely stay again.

This is a wonderful setting to spend a week in Aruba. Terrific hosts, friendly staff, sociable cats. JP and Eve have a bit of paradise to share with their guests. I enjoyed every minute staying at the Suites and exploring Aruba with my niece and her husband.

This place was great all employees knew our names from day 1. Cool room with very close to parking and pool literally 30 steps each way from our room. A really neat outdoor shower with not cold water to rinse off or remove pesky sand from your feet. Little kitchenettes with everything u need for cooking. Was a great experience. Thank you.

A wonderful visit at Sunset Beach Studios! Very clean, well equipped rooms, comfy bed, a nice pool and hot tub. Bus stop located outside and can easily visit other parts of the island. JP & Eve are super friendly and welcoming! Ivy, on reception, was also very helpful and friendly; a great and safe place to stay!

An oasis of calm and sunsets The location is unparalleled. The hotel is on a quiet part of the main artery road facing the ocean. Nothing sits between your deck and the sunset view. It is in a peaceful part of the island between the hotel district and the large residential development. 5 minutes to a supermarket and all of the touristic activities. JP and Eve are amazing hosts. They anticipated all of our needs. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware. The bed was incredibly comfortable. I traveled with my sister. We stayed in a single king room overlooking the ocean. They even made up the bed with two sets of sheets so we each had our own side. They were extremely friendly and helpful. My sister and I were born and raised in Seroe Colorado on the other end of the island. We were there for an Elementary School 52nd anniversary reunion. The hospitality at the Aruba Sunset Beach Studios reminded us of the hospitality and charm of the Aruba we loved when we were growing up. The environment is casual and unpretentious. It was more like renting an apartment for the week, without the hustle and chaos of the big high-rises. We chatted with our neighbors, hung out on our deck, swam in the pool, drove around the island in search of glimpses from 50 years ago. At the end of the day, we loved coming back to our little oasis. Thank you, JP and Eve. We, like so many others, we will be returning again and again. Hopefully, for longer than a week next time.

Wonderful quiet spot, away from noisy casinos and nightlife, and across the street from the turquoise beach! EXCEPTIONAL! Eef and JP were so helpful and welcoming. The room was perfect, clean, comfy bed, plush linens, etc. Super fast wi-fi. The kitchenette had everything I needed, and the grocery stores are super close. They really watch out for you and your comfort so that you have a great time while in their care. I CANNOT WAIT TO COME BACK! 5 STARS!

Een heel mooi gelegen kleinschalig complex direct aan zee. Dit staat garant voor een hele mooie zonsondergang. Iedere avond weer. Het complex heeft een zwembad en jacuzzi en een buitendouche. Daarnaast zijn de locaties voor windsurf en kitesurf op loopafstand net als het witte wereldberoemde strand van arashi beach. De eigenaar en de eigenaresse zijn heel relax die je overal bij helpen en altijd in zijn voor een praatje of wat te drinken. Aruba is het veiligste eiland van de Cariben. Het complex zit ook nog eens in de beste buurt van Aruba, dus een wandeling is absoluut veilig overdag en in de avond. Inmiddels onze tweede bezoek en waarschijnlijk niet het laatste bezoek.
