WOW! We now understand why every review is so positive! Location is perfect as it is minutes to beautiful beaches, multiple restaurant options and groceries, yet quiet and just off beaten path. The property is meticulously maintained and provides parking, gated entrance, fully equipped outdoor kitchen and dining facility, a pool with waterfall, hammocks, sunchairs, outdoor shower and so much more in an artfully decorated courtyard oasis. Our villa was breathtaking and had every amenity one could think of to make for the perfect stay! The 3 bedrooms all had ensuite full bathrooms with rainfall showers/sink/toilets stocked with Aruba Aloe soaps/shampoos and restocked towels Each bedroom had flat-screen televisions with both remote controlled air conditioning and comfortable beds and safes The kitchen joined living area in a vast open space fully furnished and equipped with more remote controlled air units (blinds too) and had every amenity necessary to cook, dine and relax including high speed wifi, stainless fridge with ice and water, dishwasher, pots, pans, utensils ect ect... all this and a high end gourmet one touch coffee/cappuccino maker full of fresh beans and ready to go! The villa is lofted and has two additional king size beds, another twin and it's own 3 pc bath Our villa also has its own private courtyard with a brick charcoal bbq, an outdoor dining area, a shower, hammocks and sunchairs AND a large hottub with lights. The villa was cleaned every other day and towels and all amenities were replenished The owner Jeurg and his manager Lilly were so accommodating and offered discounts to multiple restaurants and were very informative and helpful before and during our trip and could always be reached Already looking to return and i suspect it would be hard to find another place on the island with as much to offer for the money.

My family of five had a very nice stay at Swiss Paradise in the luxury suites. Our kids are 12, 13, 13 and the accommodations are probably best for older elementary age and up. The area: you have to rent a car, we used gMax and had no issues at all. There is parking on site steps away from your front door. The area is very nice and safe. It’s near Tres Trapi (great for snorkeling and seeing sea turtles) and Arashi beach. Staying in the suite is like staying in a nice Airbnb but with no crazy cleaning list and you get housekeeping every other day. The housekeeping does a great job, fresh sheets and plenty of towels and beach towels. Clean was very important for us and the suite was very very clean! There is a washer and dryer in the 1/2 bath, we grabbed a small bottle of detergent that lasted us the week. The beds are comfy and bathroom showers are great. We liked that our three kids had their own room and bathroom. We loved the hot tub and the kids enjoyed the private pool. The kitchen is nicely appointed, plenty of glasses and dishes, blender, grill, oven, pots, pans, utensils etc. The fridge has an ice maker and water dispenser, we brought big insulated cups from home and filled them up daily. Would recommend 100% if you are looking for Airbnb type place without the hassle of having to clean before you leave and if you like having housekeeping. It’s not on the beach but that was fine with us, we liked having a private suite and pool to ourselves- no crowds! The beach is a super short drive away anyway and it was quiet and clean. Hosts Juerg and Lili were very kind and always available via WhatsApp. Lili was there to greet us and she is lovely, she showed us how to work everything in the suite and gave us a bunch of local recommendations. The guide Juerg and Lili will send us super helpful. Lili recommended a great lunch spot called Eduardos Hideaway (vegetarian spot) that we enjoyed. We also loved Pinchos Bar and Grill (book for sunset it’s on the water).

Stayed here for 3 days while taking a short trip to Aruba and I have to say, it exceeded expectations. The hotels manager met me promptly upon arrival, offering several recommendations for food and attractions nearby. The property owner was also on site and was extremely friendly and accommodating with any questions or concerns. The property itself is beautiful and is well kept, there is a nice pool with a waterfall on site, along with a full kitchen, grill, kitchen seating, and plenty of loungers if you want to catch some sun. There are also some hammocks on property, which are definitely enjoyable when just trying to relax.
They offer chair rentals for 4 USD a day or 20 USD for the week, which comes with a nice cooler you can take to the beach also! They also have some snorkel equipment on site that you can use! The room I stayed in was modern, with a strong AC unit (big plus in Arubas heat), with a waterfall shower head, all of which looked new. There is parking on site for your rental car, which makes getting to the main attractions (which are only a couple minutes away by car) an ease. Overall I can’t recommend this property enough, everything was perfect and I will definitely be staying again my next time in Aruba! 5/5!

A week in Aruba! I was looking for a comfortable and well-kept apartment and I chose Swiss Paradise for the features I liked! (since I am a travel agent, when I book my holidays I look at every detail). The location, the king size bed with automatic slatted bases, 60 inch TV with Netflix, hot water, (don't take it for granted in Aruba) huge shower with products available, modern furniture and wi-fi. but then getting there, everything far exceeded my expectations! Super-equipped apartment with American fridge with automatic ice and double split air conditioning! Every small accessory in the kitchen was present, toaster, blender, combined microwave, Nespresso coffee machine (I also brought the capsules from home) and nothing out of place. Then there is the real plus which is Juerg, the owner who is a fantastic person. From the moment of booking he sent me all the useful information I needed via WhatsApp. He tried 500 restaurants and clubs across the island and sent me a real manual for making the best choices! Every day he then informed me of the events and proposals that were on the island. It has an agreement with Car Rental and you benefit from a discount, then it is possible to rent deck chairs and a portable fridge from them for the unequipped beaches. I was in the standard apartment for 2 which I found fantastic, the bed also has a topper (Barbieri would like it) but it has apartments and villas with hydromassage and well-kept furnishings, which I had the opportunity to visit, in front of the second largest swimming pool. The guests are discreet and the apartments are also excellently soundproofed, so perfect. Wow guys look no further! This is the right place if you want to feel good! Families, couples, groups of friends. If I returned to Aruba I couldn't make any other choice!

Cannot say enough about this wonderful place. The owner and his colleagues simply cannot do enough and are so thoughtful and nice. The villa --number 53--was just fully renovated, with all new appliances including an extremely fancy and amazing coffee machine, that I am actually purchasing once home. Two large bedrooms, each with their own very nice bathrooms and a large kitchen and living room. The villa opens up to a very nice pool area, with an outdoor modern kitchen. Super clean and quite fancy--wifi was great, as were the two large smart TVs. A/C was great--really a top level Villa that would be a fortune to own almost anywhere.
Location: 5 minutes from the best beaches and 10 mins max from all the restaurants, including ones downtown. Tons of supermarkets nearby, though the location itself is very quiet and on a residential street. One should definitely rent a car for this trip though. Parking is directly in front of the Villa and the location is extremely quiet and safe--no issues whatsoever.
Each day, we would drive 5 minutes away and have a wonderful breakfast and then hit the beautiful beach for the day. The hotel provides towels and beach chairs FYI.
Really an ideal location for a romantic trip, a family or a few friends and can not say enough good things about the owner(s) or the Villa itself. Would never want to stay anywhere else. Thank you!

This was my wife and I's first visit to Aruba, and we truly could not have selected a better place to stay. Within a few hours of our booking our stay at the Swiss Paradise, the host (Juerg) immediately reached out to us with a warm welcome and list of resources and recommendations to assist with our travel and stay. This included information pertaining to booking a car rental with affordable rates. Upon arriving at Swiss Paradise, Juerg further spoke with us at length regarding the best restaurants in Aruba that matched our preferences, in addition to nearby locations and activities that resonated with our expressed interests. Juerg was overall a very warm and conscientious host who went out of his way to look after us, and his communication and resourcefulness was truly a highlight of our stay at the Swiss Paradise (he was always readily responsive to text messages on Whatsapp, and additionally maintained a regular presence within the resort to check in on guests and ensure their satisfaction).
Regarding our stay itself, we had a comfortable, well-furbished and maintained room (replete with daily cleaning and servicing) and bed in addition to a nice common area with a pool that the rooms were interlaced around. The common area was equipped with a kitchen that was well stocked with appliances (cutlery, dishes, refrigerator, microwave, oven, stove) in tandem to pans and dinnerware to fix meals when needed. The common area setup also fostered a pleasant, collegial atmosphere and interactions among resort visitors which we especially enjoyed. Additional services (i.e. laundry/spa) were also accessible if needed at an affordable rate.
In terms of location, we were within a brief, 5-10 minute driving distance from the main beaches and sites that we wanted to see (with our longest drive to Baby Beach and San Nicholaas being roughly 25 minutes). Several supermarkets and shopping centers were additionally located within half a mile.
This was overall a wonderful experience and we highly recommend Swiss Paradise Aruba to both new and seasoned travelers to the One Happy Island.

I can't say enough good things about this hotel/villa. We visited with the whole family (me, hubby, daughter, two grandsons and grandson's friend). We had three king sized beds in their own rooms, a pull-out full-sized couch and two regular couches in the living room along with two full baths. There is a washer and dryer in the pool area of the villa that was a life saver. Having our own pool and outdoor kitchen was fantastic. Note for future travelers: there is a pool closet that has float chairs (we donated 2 and there was one already there). Don't buy floaties. The only things that would have made it better would be if the kitchen had a couple of cookie sheets and some measuring cups. I donated some measuring spoons. Other than that, it was just perfect. Be sure to do as suggested and download maps.me for Aruba so you can navigate to the villa. It is VERY hard to find as the street signs in Aruba are almost nonexistent. Hubby thought he knew the way after studying the map and drove around for over an hour trying to find the villa. Download the map! Your vacation will start much more smoothly. If we are ever in Aruba again with a big group, this is the place to stay.

We stayed at Villa Swiss Paradise with private pool. Thanks Juerg and Lili! From cleanliness, housekeeping every 2 days, beach towels/towels changed every 2 days, everything in the villa is in top shape, and the location; this place is a gem in Aruba. The owner also sent us info on tours and list of restaurants/discount codes, rental car, etc in advanced and made planning easier. This place also made us feel like temporary locals, you are not among tourists. And the place was very safe. My daughter and I walked in the morning, we also walked to the owl sanctuary ( 1-2 minutes walk ) and observed them from a distance.

We’re a family of 5 and stayed at Villa 3. Plenty of room, private yard, bbq, hammock, and hot tub! The shared pool is very nice and not crowded. The villa is nicely decorated, beds are comfortable, and housekeeping great. We had everything we needed and more! They provide beach towels and we rented beach chairs and cooler from the host at a fair price. The location is ideal. We wanted to be away from the high rise section for a more relaxed and quiet environment. We rented a car and it was easy to go to beaches, restaurants, and excursions. Jeurg, the host, is knowledgeable, helpful, and truly wants his guests to enjoy their vacation. He even provides a QR code for discounts on several restaurants. I recommend Swiss Paradise 100%!!!

We had a perfect week at Swiss Paradise. We stayed in a pool suite with private garden and hot tub XXL (3-51). We debated about which room to get and decided on this one mainly because of the private hot tub. It also offers a loft with other beds but we didn't use it.
The size was fine for us, especially considering there is an outdoor space with a shower and sink. We also used the shared space for sunbathing and dips in the pool. We really only used the shared kitchen for getting ice and using dishes and utensils but it's very handy. The room was quiet (one of my most important criteria) other than one night when someone in the neighborhood decided to keep their dog outside. Bed was very comfortable and it had two mini fridges and a coffee maker.
We loved this area of Aruba. This was our first time on the island and we spent much time going back and forth about where we should stay. You could stay in a more touristy area like Eagle or Palm Beach if you want large condo buildings and/or resorts but this type of place is much more of our style. It's not on a beach and while we thought we would be walking to the beach you'll actually want a car, since you won't want to walk home when it's hot and you've been on the beach all day.
The nearest beaches are Malmok and Arashi, and while they don't get the attention that Palm and Eagle do, they are great beaches for snorkeling, swimming and hanging out. There are a variety of little entrances between Malmok and Arashi which aren't very crowded and where you can get a palapa or a tree for shade. If you go to Arashi it's much more crowded so you'll want to rent an umbrella and chairs for the day. The plus with Arashi is that there's a nice little beach bar/restaurant, which is not the case with Malmok. But the snorkeling at both is unbelievable - you'll see tons of gorgeous fish and even potentially sea turtles right off shore.
Groceries and restaurants are close, though you will want to drive. Lots of other stuff to see on the island. Funny to say (since we were vacationing on an island) but we're not really "go to the beach every day" type people so it's nice to be able to have options for hiking, shopping, etc. That being said, we did visit Eagle and Palm beaches at night, for dinner and evening walks. Also, be sure to take a walk on the beaches near the lighthouse - gorgeous and wild!
Highly recommended and hopefully these tips answer some of your questions!

3 minutes drive to Arashi and Palm
beach. All beaches are public all my guests rent a car to explore the beauties and the unique restaurants all over the island.. you pay easy 3-5 times more to stay at a hotel with beach.. people love swiss Paradise because it’s so quiet and still very close to everything and because I have great discounts in my personal restaurant list.
There are more places to choose from in the Malmok Beach area.
