This place had it all. We had 7 people in our group. Huge amount of space. Everything was spot on. I would definitely stay there again. The huge outdoor space was great!

Kurt was super responsive and helpful answering all our questions. The house was as described and very well equipped with all the daily essentials. There where some minor imperfections as with all properties. The outdoor space was where we spent most of our time at the house and couldn’t have been any better. The cabanas, pool, and hot tub were amazing. Overall we would rent again, thanks for the hospitality. Aruba is definitely The Happy Island, great place to vacation too.

Great place to stay.

The house is a nice house sitting on a hill like a castle. But the pictures are outdated the house needs to upgrades. The owner of the home told me the caretaker was Javier but I never saw him until second to the last day and we stay there for 7days. Kathy was the one who we dealt with mostly unless I mess the owner on VRBO. Kathy nor Javier spoke English. Luckily we have a family member who spoke Spanish. One room was full of ants on the wall and in the bed. I had my family member message Kathy via what’s up app that’s how they like to communicate via that app. She messaged her in Spanish about the ants, hot tube not working and pool being dirty. Then there was a issue of someone coming in and out of the garage door whenever they wanted to use the washer and dryer in the house. Huge security issue for me and made a lot of my family members uncomfortable. Apparently the people who take care of the grounds live next door and they have access to the a house which was never ever disclose to us. So I message the owner he never answered me on this issue. So I had to put chairs under the doors knobs when we went to bed. When ask Kathy about this she said that the workers washer and dryer wasn’t good. I’m was like ok but they should ask or announce themselves before entering our vacation home that we paid for. Message the owner several times about the hot tube which is in the listing it didn’t work the whole time we was there and they finally sent someone out to fix it the last night we was there and we had to deal with workers coming in and out and noise after I had been asking for this to be fix all week. The shower is one of the rooms doesn’t drain correctly leaks on the floor. Kitchen sink faucet is about to fall apart and furniture has wholes all in it. Police showed up at the house and came around back unannounced saying they got a call for loud music when we wasn’t playing any music. We saw them watching us earlier that day when we was going out on the ATV’s. Come to find out from the local this house is known around the the island as the party house and is known to have wild parties. So no wonder the police showed up unannounced but they got a surprise no craziness going on. We went with this house because of the pictures and the size. Not all is bad the master suite is really nice. I would like what I pay for, safety, cleanlines, and communicate I didn’t get my money worth with this stay. Credits should be given for all the inconvenience

July 9-18. Our family of 8 made reservations last Fall to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday at Villa Tropical. Unfortunately he passed last November from Covid, but the family agreed to keep our plans and celebrate his birthday there on July 10. Javier made us a wonderful Latin barbecue the second night we were there and we celebrated his birthday. It was perfect and we highly recommend it, we had a long travel day the day before so it was great to not have to worry about dinner. The pool area was awesome, so refreshing and beautiful at night with the colored lights. We ordered through “groceriestogo” which was so helpful to have some groceries on hand until we got to the grocery store. It was a quick drive to the beach and Stellaris casino which was our favorite casino. We found the people in Aruba to be so kind. We had a few issues with the televisions and a little difficulty communicating with Javier due to the language barrier. However, Kathy Quijada, our welcoming host was helpful in translating. Several of us had a hot stone massage by Kathy, highly recommend her services! A few minutes away from the property there is a Do It Center. They have groceries, household items, etc; I would compare it to something like Walmart here in the US. All in all it was a great vacation and the family loved Aruba. I highly recommend this property.

Greeted by Javier and Kathleen. Super nice and there for anything you need. We kind of wanted to be left to ourselves and they obliged. House itself was smaller than it looked online and needed some basic maitenance. Great pool and grounds. Location was good. More basic supplies toilet paper, paper towels) would have been good, but we grabbed some at store. Felt safe the entire time. We rented cars and did our own sight seeing, Much better than a hotel! Lots of space for people to spread out. Beautiful birds, geckos, and an iguana visited us by the pool!

Gorgeous property with tons of amenities!

It was an awesome experience from check in to check out! Would definitely recommend it!

We enjoyed our stay with having a pool. The only thing was the pool was very dirty when we arrived and they did not clean it till half way through our stay. The master bed is VERY hard and the pillows were awful. the house manager didn't communicate with us at all during our stay. It is a very nice house but needs lots of updating with furniture and bedding. everything looked very worn.

The size of the house was perfect for the 9 of us. Everyone one had their own room/bed. The owner and his staff are very helpful. We cannot say enough kind words about them. We would recommend that everyone have Javier and Kathy prepare a BBQ one night , it was so much food we kind of wished we had done it earlier in the week because of all of the leftovers. Kathy was the best, she came to the house the first full day we were on the island and did the kids nails and the lady’s got hot stone massages. My wife has hand many massages over the last 5 years and she said this was the best one ever; hands down. We worked with Janine for our excursions and car rental.she was super helpful. She also gave us a tour of the island and the natural pool, during the tour she helped our 70 year old mother every step of the way. The house is nice but a little outdate and could use a little TLC. We loved the views from the hot tub overlooking the palm beach hotels, especially when the sun was setting. The swimming pool was nice we spent hours in it everyday and a lot of late nights too. Any issues we had were quickly resolved by the property manager who lives on the property which we found very helpful. Our group enjoyed our stay and would rent the property again if we had a large group that wanted to stay in a nice Villa together.
