Coral Reef Beach

Location outstanding, Staff outstanding, ROoms pretty good. OK so this is inexpensive and the rooms are spacious, clean and the staff freindly. Snorkelling right off their beach was great and lots of silly wildlife like iguanas, crabs, geckos, etc. On a secluded bay with a barrier reef, the snorkeling right of the dock was the best we found in aruba with tons of fun fish, real live coral, lobsters, crabs, barracuda (small), and even sea turtles! Owners also own flying fishbone restaurant. Within walking distance is Zeerovers os excellent fresh fish caught daily and cooked to perfection. Three of us dine for $35 and were stuffed! We ate there4 of 11 nights! Also check out Challo Burger. I will also review that. Downside - the pull out couch in the Zen suite is prety terrible with a wood support crosswise in the middle. Our son sept on the floor on the cushions. The hot plate was pretty useless, not enough power to boil water, even eggs were a challenge but that is well overshadowed by the atmosphere. There is also a communal kitchen, which I was too lazy to use. They have Kayaks to borrow along with some rudimentary snorkeling gear.

This was our second stay at Coral Reef, and we really enjoy the laid back atmosphere. We can get in the car and go up to the high rise area and hang out and than come back n chill. The staff are always there to help, but I love how they just let you do your vacation.

I truly enjoyed this quaint property. It was relaxing and accommodating. I didn’t mind the restaurant below. Direct access and view to the ocean and sky sight lines were special and memorable. We left out daily and always returned to a clean room and fresh linens. Gabriela is kind, helpful and available.

Very rustic. No hot wster. Very responsive staff. Self service breakfast. Clean rooms and kitchen. Guest leftovers ( chairs, backgammon sets, kayaks )can be broken, dirty. The setting is nice and quiet. Very small grounds. If other guests have habits you may not like its hard to get away onnthe property. Restaurant attached is noisy, ovrrpriced and overrated. Walk to zeeovers!

Nice place
