My husband and I stayed at Cunucu for five nights; we really enjoyed our stay. We loved the peace and quiet (except for roosters) we really enjoyed being alone and being able to spend quality time together. There were a few things on the property that needed updating like the boards by the pool, breakfast area, and more thorough house keeping.
It is definitely in the middle of Aruba which is great if you are up for an adventure, rent a car for sure and check out all the local restaurants and beaches. This place has great potential, we recommend it for couples and we would most certainly return for another visit.

We were initially booked here for 4 nights - but due to our flight being delayed we got in later than expected and had trouble finding this place - it is in the middle of Aruba!

So we stayed down on the beach for 2 nights, then came here for other 2 - which is actually a great way to see Aruba. A couple of days doing the beach thing - then 2 days in the center around Arikok National Park.

Cunucu is set in a gorgeous setting with cactus everywhere and next to a donkey sanctuary. Was great late night fun feeding the donkeys - they come right up to the back of your casita - make sure you bring supplies!

The casita we stayed in was very nice - there are only 3 on the property - although the owners have current plans for expansion and adding a restaurant which would be great as apart from breakfast there is no other catering available.

Only negatives here is the pool area has NO shade and not really useable in very hot weather.

But overall - a really funky, stylish ambience and for travelers looking for something out of the way and different - then this is perfect!

This is a very clean property and has some nice landscaping. The three little houses are pretty and styled after original Aruba architecture. The houses’ back porch back onto the Donkey Sanctuary. It’s fun to have them come up to be fed carrots and apples in the evening.

There are some problems. We had a king bed with two flat pillows. Our bed was so hard it hurt, we took Advil every morning we stayed. The AC was not especially effective, just tolerable. There wasn’t a single piece of furniture on the place that was comfortable. Everything was hard wicker and some had broken arms. The outside eating area tables are wooden barrels which you lean over to eat while sitting in hard wicker bar chairs. Breakfast was included - sometimes very good like Dutch pancakes with apple or waffles and fruit. Some things were really bad like the veggie roll. It would be nice to know before hand what you’re getting or at least given a choice. Instant coffee just doesn't cut it at breakfast either.

There isn’t a speck of shade at the pool and inside the pool there’s a chunk of wall missing about six feet wide and three feet high. The wooden deck has a number of warped boards you can trip on if you’re not careful. The handle to our door would come off in our hand. We mentioned it, it wasn’t fixed.

This place needs some TLC and more focus on guest comfort.

Cunucu Arubiano is an exquisite bed-and-breakfast set against a backdrop of Arikok National Park. The B&B consists of three small but elegant and modern villas distributed on a well-maintained property. We spent a week there with 2 kids and were the only family there most of the time. The kids could run, play and swim in the pool at their leisure. The B&B shares a fence with the Donkey Sanctuary and you can often observe donkeys walking through the maze of tall cacti that hides Cunucu Arubiano from the world. The serenity of the place is rarely disturbed by sound. You don’t get crowds in that part of Aruba. You don’t even get staff on the premises after lunchtime - they clean up and leave and the whole place at your disposal. What you do get are the sights of Ayo Rock Formation, flowering cacti and unobstructed stars at night. Typically, you drive to a beach or some natural attraction during the daytime and raid a restaurant in town in the afternoon. Then you disappear from the touristy area via a drive to the middle of the island, you get on route 6, and then shove the car down a dark driveway which leads to the place. You park under a starry sky and spend evening listening to tradewinds negotiating Arikok hills. One practical advice: a mile or two away from high-rise hotels, street and road signs disappear completely. Detailed maps do not exists. You will be completely disoriented within 5 minutes. The only nav device that works is iPhone, and, if your are planning on staying in this remote B&B, it is a must have.
