MVC Eagle Beach Aruba

We have been coming to MVC for several years. The location is great and this small and simple hotel meets our needs very well. We have always been impressed with the staff who welcome us warmly on every trip. ||However, over the past couple of years the breakfast service has really fallen off. Each morning our continental breakfast is exactly the same as the day before. For example, the yogurt is served plain everyday without variation. In addition, for the 2 of us, we are served a slice of ham and a slice of processed cheese per person, dry toast, 1 packaged muffin between us, a croissant each and a shared bowl of cut up fruit. The food is just ok, nothing special at all. If anything it is dull and monotonous, and after 3 days it becomes unappealing, nevermind if you are staying for a week or longer. It results in a lot of food being wasted based on looking at what people leave behind and what other guests tell us as well. |MVC used to provide a simple and similar buffet. It was easier, faster and more efficient than the current approach. Don't understand why they moved away from that.

Great location, across the street from Eagle Beach. Quiet, small hotel and the included breakfast was a nice start to our days. Clinton at the front desk was quite helpful and very friendly. We enjoyed talking to him, and he gave us some great restaurant recommendations within walking distance. Having a refrigerator in the room was also a plus.

We stayed here for a week in November. Although the rooms are small, they are very clean and well maintained. The property isn't huge but makes up for it by being directly across from Eagle Beach. You're literally a one minute walk from sand. They have free parking (we rented a car) and a nice complementary breakfast (you sit down and they give you a decent tray of food). The staff is excellent and helpful. This is a great place to really experience Aruba without the crowds.

My wife and I had an amazing time at MVC Eagle. Spotless rooms, friendly staff, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The courtyard was beautiful and inviting. It was the perfect spot for us as we do not like cookie cutter resorts and hotels. We will definitely come back.

My husband and I both went to Maggy’s for services on this trip to Aruba. My husband had a haircut from Carmen, who cuts his hair every year during our vacation. She is excellent and does a phenomenal job on his hair. At that same visit, I had a gel pedicure from Joanna. Super job by her. Both Carmen and Joanna are wonderful people and very skilled in their trade. I, Patricia, then went back to Maggy’s for hair color by Carmen and a dip manicure from Anna. Once again, the job Carmen did on my hair was exceptional. She really knows her business and is a wonderful person to have an appointment with. The manicure was a totally different situation. I booked the manicure for a “ dip” service. Anna did not seem to understand what she was doing based on my home experience in New Jersey. Her handling of my nails was “painful” and she kept holding my hands very tight even though I was experiencing discomfort due to her use of the dremel to remove the previous application. The use of acetone removes the previous application without any discomfort. I have never, ever had that experience at home. In addition, the job she did was sub- standard at best. That night I noticed the top coat she placed on my nails was peeling and the shine that is supposed to last for 2-3 weeks was not there. Also, when I read the receipt, it said “acrylic” not dip for my manicure. I would never have her do my nails again. I would not hesitate to go back to Joanna for a pedicure or Carmen for my hair. Both are super!

While visiting Eagle Beach, I opted to eat lunch at the MVC EagleBeach Aruba which is right across the street from the beach. I got a burger with fries which is a pretty basic dish and they did it justice. The burger was thick and cooked perfectly for me - thick and juicy, and it included lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. The fries were golden on the outside and soft inside. The staff was friendly and personable - making the service great. They have/had limited operating hours so be mindful of that. I think 11am to 3pm or so.

This hotel is the jewel in the crown, small hotel with a big welcome. Nothing was too much trouble for them, so friendly. Room was small but adequate, they provided a kettle for making tea.||Location is quiet and just across from the beach.||They provide a complimentary breakfast which is set every day on a tray, so, you have what they provide and as they do not cook you have a boiled egg every day rather than a choice, also yoghurt. Toast, fruit juice and a muffin.||They recommended a tour company that did not work our for us as the driver was unsafe and made everyone feel uncomfortable when he nearly hit another vehicle, but said they would take it up with them after a couple of days.||It is one of the cheapest and best value hotels on Eagle Beach.

Friendly staff and decent size clean rooms. MVC Eagle Beach is a bit far from all the major hotels and restaurants in the area. Eagle Beach is across the street - not even one minute walk. We had rented a car so it was easy to move around and explore Aruba.
