Ingrid and Stanley were both SO generous and wonderful to be around. This location is right in the city, making it very convenient to get to anything in Oranjestad. They are located in a quaint little neighborhood with locals all around, giving it a very authentic experience. The room has AC, a small bathroom, full kitchen, bed, and daily cleaning service. This place has everything you would need for a convenient and cost-effective place to stay. If I return to Aruba, I will definitely be staying here again.

This apartment style hotel was a wonderful choice for our recent visit to Aruba. Excellent location near the airport and all major beaches and attractions with free parking and all the facilities you need for a successful independent stay in Aruba at a small fraction of the price of the larger full service hotels. The owner is a wonderful person who has been in the business for decades and always puts the needs of his guests above all else. We will return there for sure.

Fantastic combination of location and value. Stanley goes out of his way to help, and his dogs are friendly! The terrace is perfect for sitting at sunset and relaxing to the sounds of the residential neighborhood. My room had air conditioning and a ceiling fan; it was good to have both options. The wi-fi is fast and reliable. I do wish the shower were hotter, but it was refreshing and warm enough.

The apartments are at the far west end of Pagaistraat (Google Maps has them at the intersection of Dreimasterstraat). It's less than a 10-minute walk to the heart of Oranjestad, and along the way is a row of food stalls on Dreimasterstraat with fruit shakes and snacks. There are also supermarkets close by.

Would stay again, for sure.

It was our first time on the Island of Aruba and Samuel with his wife Laura made it very special.
They took us to a restaurant that the locals frequent and it was delicious and reasonable.
Stanley and Ingrid (his parents) are on site. They made sure we had everything we needed. This was also our first out of the US since the Covid issues. We felt safe and everyone we ran into were so friendly. Their place is so convenient to restaurants,grocery stores and gift shops.
We definitely will return and stay here.

Perfect hosts. Comfortable mattress. Great wifi. Very suitable for long term stay. 10 minute walk to town centre. 4 minute walk to large supermarket. Air conditioning worked well. Power point near bed. Outdoor seating area. Pool. Fridge. Microwave. Hot plate. Great budget option but hire a car to give you freedom to visit beaches and rest of the island. Booked one of the smaller studios but they have larger options as well.

You can cook for yourself at this inn. The kitchen came in handy because of the high prices on the island. If you think that the quality of the inn is the same as that of an inn on a remote island in Japan, you are almost certain.

Think of the pool on the property as an extra. Staff are not resident, so it is a Recommendation to ask them all in advance if you have any questions.

We've now had six great vacations at A1 Aparments, and the seventh will be January 2006!
We first picked A1 Aparments on the Web because of the modest price, but we would now never stay anywhere else at any price. Family Kemp are the perfect hosts - friendly and helpful, buit not "in your face". The rooms are well-equipped, clean and comfortable. Perfect location, a 10 or 15-minute stroll gets you to the heart of town, or to the nearest beaches.
Try it, you'll love A1.

Worst place for the money! Road is tore up in front of it and there already was no parking. Hacking dog. Comforter had holes. Appliances disgusting. No hot water. If you leave your room, owner will enter and turn off air conditioner. No privacy.

We've stayed 7 nights at the A1 Apartments... everything was perfect! Mr Stanley and Ingrid were amazing! They picked us @ the airport for U$ 20,00, helped and gave us many tips and advices! The room was very comfortable and clean... with aircon in the room and hot water in the shower! The kitchen is simple but have everything you need... (we travelled on the budget so we used the kitchen many times)... the rooms are cleaned and the towels changed everyday! We rented a car and from there is so easy to go around the Island... theres a free parking on the street... our apartment was on the top floor... beautiful terrace... felt like home! Calm and quiet! Its is just a few minutes walking from the town centre and easy access to the main beaches either by walking or by bus (in case if u dont want to rent a car)! The owners have two amazing dogs... but they keep them locked so they don't bother the guests (we love dogs and we were asking them to let them free to stay with us)! I really recommend! It is an amazing place to stay in Aruba and amazing good value for Money.
