Aruba Ocean Villas

My husband and I eloped at Aruba Ocean Villas. We stayed at the Lou Lou and had a private ceremony at the villa with a dinner at a private table at Old Man and the Sea to follow. Everything about our stay was incredible. The villa was so beautiful and comfortable. It was very private with incredible views. Didi did an amazing job helping us source photographers and a cake. Shirley who works on the property was our officiant, she was so sweet and did a great job reading for our ceremony. We spent so much time swimming and snorkeling right in front of our villa, there were so many beautiful fish right there by the rocks. The service was amazing, we were brought food and drinks to our room throughout our stay. The room attendants also went above and beyond helping us decorate the room with fresh flowers and candles for the ceremony. The restaurant staff set up a beautiful table for our dinner, no detail was spared and the food was delicious. The clams sambuca and lobster were our favorites. We are so happy with everything, it was so dreamy and beautiful. Would highly recommend for honeymoons, or any romantic vacation. We hope to return again someday!

We had dinner recently, and Anthonio was our server. The location and ambiance is unmatched. Wonderful service from beginning to end. One of the most beautiful and delicious dinners we have ever experienced. A must do in Aruba.

My fiancé and I stayed here for 2 nights and the experience was amazing! We had the privilege of staying in Isla Alistair and the bungalow was absolutely beautiful. On our first night, we dined at an overwater table. The food, sunset and server were all amazing! Our server even sang a song and played guitar for us at sunset. On the second day, we enjoyed the comfort of our bungalow during the day and at night, to my surprise, my fiancé asked me to marry him! The staff at Aruba Ocean Villas went above and beyond to help set up our bungalow with candles and flowers and a private dinner after the proposal to celebrate! We cannot wait to return!

The restaurant portion of the place was nice. Dinner was good and plentiful. I was given a free treat as I was celebrating my birthday. I did notice they sung happy birthday to a different patron but that was not experienced by me, despite making the reservation 3 months in advance and even telling my waitress it was my actual 45th birthday on 10/13. Overall I would give this place a 8/10

We stayed in the Penthouse Sophia for our honeymoon, and it was everything we could’ve dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely cared for. Every single detail was so thoughtful, from the beautiful decor to the little touches that made it feel so personal and romantic. Breakfast on our deck each morning, surrounded by the ocean and the birds, kayaking to sea glass island, all the staff were amazing; everything was pure magic. We loved having direct water access from the steps, soaking in the tubs, relaxing in the overwater hammock, and just taking in those unbelievable views. Both bedrooms had great AC, and even without it in the rest of the villa, the ocean breeze kept it comfortable and airy. You can truly feel how much love and intention has gone into creating this place... it's unlike anywhere we’ve ever stayed. Aruba Ocean Villas is beyond special, and staying here made our honeymoon an experience we’ll never forget. **There are a lot of mosquitos; prepare to get bit up if you don't use the complimentary sunscreen***

We stayed at Sunset villa and the place was even better than in the photos ! Brian and Didi were soooooo helpful and responsive for whatever we needed ! The location and all the amenities were MORE than perfect! This will not be our last time here :)

I just spent five nights at Aruba Ocean Villas and honestly, it was one of the most magical travel experiences I’ve ever had. The place feels like a secret—tucked away in quiet Savaneta, right on the water, and totally unlike anything else on the island. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like I was home. Everyone was warm, attentive, and remembered the little things that made each day easier and more relaxing. The villa itself was stunning—open-air, right over the ocean, with a deck where I could literally dip my toes in the water from my room. I’d wake up to the sound of waves, eat breakfast delivered right to my deck, and just breathe. No TV, no noise, just peace. The vibe is super romantic and low-key in the best way. Every sunset felt like a private show. And the food? Incredible. “The Old Man and the Sea” is not just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Fresh, flavorful dishes with the ocean at your feet and string lights twinkling overhead. Even the cocktails were great. It’s rare to find a place that blends nature, comfort, and such a welcoming atmosphere so seamlessly, but this one nails it. I came back feeling lighter, calmer, and honestly already thinking about when I can go back.

Here’s my honest review. We stayed at Dushi Sue for 2 nights for our honeymoon. Night before checkin we read some horrible reviews of the place so I wasn’t expecting much. The moment I entered the room, I kept wondering who would give this place a bad review and WHY! The place was beautiful, worth every penny. We spent so much of our time on the deck. Pros: 1. They knew we were coming for our honeymoon, so they filled the tub with rose petals, gave complementary champagne, fruits and refrigerator stocked with sodas. They also had spf and bug spray in their room. 2. ⁠The room and patio were simply gorgeous. At night the moon was reflecting on the ocean, we sat on the patio for hours. 3. ⁠Some reviews said there is no TV and no AC in the bathroom. Are you guys okay?The shower was so nice and comfortable. You are in nature, please don’t forget that. We were worried about the bugs because so many reviews mentioned it, honestly we didn’t need the bug spray. It was alright. 4. ⁠It’s surrounded by birds and they will sing beautifully to you. 5. ⁠Garden massage was fantastic, worth every penny. 6. ⁠The staff were very sweet. 7. ⁠Food is delicious. We had all three meals there. Loved it! They have plenty of vegetarian options as well. 8. ⁠Kayaks are available Cons: 1. There was a construction going on in the villa that was right opposite our villa. We wanted a quiet morning. We complained about it so they stopped it for the day. 2. ⁠The same day they messaged us early morning that there will be a power outage for 2 hours which we weren’t expecting and were not happy about it though it wasn’t too bad since patio was breezy. So if you are thinking of booking the place, 100% go for it. There isn’t another property on the island like this one. Check with the property about construction in advance so you know what to expect. If I come to Aruba, I’m definitely booking them again. ❤️
