“Little gem across from Eagle Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

This was a wonderful place for our 2012 family reunion over Christmas. We were a group of 11, including a baby and a 7 year and we are all lyrical about our stay.

What to expect of Aruba: Aruba has it act together. We felt safe anytime anywhere, which cannot be said for some of the other Caribbean islands.

What to expect of MVC Eagle Beach:
1. wonderful staff (Christy, Theo, Kevin, house keeping just to name a few (I would mention them all by name, if I only remembered),
2. nice, simple, well air-conditioned rooms with a small refrigerator.
3. excellent beach location, crossing the road between the property and the beach is a non-issue and even on the busiest day, Christmas day, the beach was not overcrowded.
4. if you are looking for excursions, just go see Christy and she will take care of it.
5. at least one double room for guests with young children
6. laundry facilities on-site, always handy when traveling with small children
7. trade winds, which will keep the temperatures in check and allow sleeping without the airco

And the friendly atmosphere wins over the guests too, everybody acknowledges and greets the other guests.

Room Tip: Ask for second floor with sea view, but only if you can handle stairs (no elevator).

“Aruba Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

This was our fourth trip to Aruba and our first stay at MVC Eagle Beach. We were looking for a hotel that was on Eagle beach, one that was cost effective, and comfortable. MVC Eagle Beach met and exceeded our expectations. The manager (Christy) was professional and friendly. The housekeeping service was great. The room was cleaned daily and the housekeeping personnel were ready to assist as requested. The restaurant (The Tulip) was clean and served a good European breakfast, lunch and dinner. The prices were comparable to other restaurants on the island. The restaurant staff were very attentive. The hotel though small offered access to the internet, a laundry room, and assistance with booking tours and rentals. The rooms were compact, clean, and comfortable. We enjoy the smaller atmosphere and each time we have met new friends by sitting on our balcony and talking to our neighbors where ever they may be from. We would highly recommend the hotel to those who are tired of the high rise concrete jungles that remind me of a Dallas traffic jam. Regards, John & Valerie Honeycutt December 2012

“Great Location for Great Price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

If you want to stay away from the crowds at the mega hotel/casinos, pay a lot less, and have easy access to the nicest beach on the island, then this is your spot ! Clean / simple rooms, AC works great, quiet, nice onsite restaurant, very nice and friendly desk / management folks, and direct access to beautiful Eagle Beach ! And with the money you save you can rent a car for a short drive up to the mega hotel section for touristy shopping / etc., drive to snorkeling reefs, grocery store (1/2 size fridge in the room), etc. Perfect choice if this is what you're seeking !

Room Tip: Somewhat tight spiral staircase leading to second floor rooms, so if you have any mobility issues yo...

“Lovely boutique hotel across from best beach...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

What a great place. There are only 19 rooms so it's small, the people are friendly (shout out to Christie, the manager... so sweet). Right across the street from Eagle beach, the best beach in Aruba... bus line right out front which will take you downtown in about 10-12 minutes. The restaurant, The Tulip, is decent and reasonably priced. There is not a whole lot within walking distance but, the a short cab or bus ride up the road 1-2 miles will have you at the hotel area with lots of shops or go opposite direction to downtown and there is plenty to do. The beach is gorgeous and the rooms although a little small were furnished nicely with a big shower, comfy bed (king in my case) and frig. Only which it had a microwave. Oh and the beach chairs are now across the road on the beach and you don't have to drag them across the road anymore. I would definitely stay there again.

“What a great hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

I've stayed at many hotels already in my lifetime, but what proved most unique and evident in regards to MVC Eagle Beach was the personal touch the staff provided. In particular Christy was absolutely fantastic! She assisted beforehand in answering any queries I had before even staying at the hotel and during our stay she helped immensely with making us feel truly welcome.

The rooms are of average size, but included the regular amenities, such as a TV, Fridge, storage space, and a bathroom. The cleaning staff certainly did a nice job and keeping it clean and tidy every day.

On the hotel grounds themselves the tennis court was a nice touch and I wish I had the chance to play a few rounds while being there. It is true that the pool facilities are quite small, but as another review already mentioned the beach is just opposite the hotel (literally a 1 minute walk) and there are also complimentary chairs so you can easily relax and lay in the sunshine. Eagle beach is also renowned for being one of the top beaches in the world, so the location is absolutely perfect.

On top of this there is free WiFi from the hotel on the property as well as on the beach. Very useful those pictures you'd like to send to friends of what a wonderful time you're having. Of course don't forget to switch your mobile off from time to time, so you can enjoy it the fullest!

I didn't get a chance to try the Tulip restaurant, but from locals I've heard many good things about it. Certainly on my next visit I will try out their cuisine.

To sum it up absolutely a remarkable and highly recommendable hotel. My stay was more than great and I have to give this place top marks for making my vacation a superb one. Many thanks to them!
