Super nice place on the island. Directly on a quiet beach with beautiful views. A small-scale location with only 5 rooms, but the ideal place to discover the island. Every day starts very comfortably with a delicious varied breakfast served on the balcony. You can discover a lot on foot: The harbor area - Oranjestad - Restaurants - Beach bars on another part of the beach. If you have a rental car you can discover the entire island from north to south and visit other beaches and/or snorkeling spots. We have already booked for next year

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel on the beach. the room was comfortable with a great view. They served us a delicious breakfast daily. We were within walking distance of 5 restaurants of various prices and could walk downtown. It was close to the airport and with our rental car, we had access to the whole island. Highly recommended

This is definitely a gem not far from all activities. We loved the oceanside view from our room. Having breakfast on the balcony facing the ocean was a plus. We cannot say enough about Marta who helped us with breakfast and our room. She was delightful to chat with and has such a beautiful spirit. Thank you to Ms. C. the office manager who was also great. Once my husband told her I was vegan she went the extra mile to make sure my breakfast was vegan friendly. All of the staff was very friendly. The room had a good size refrigerator which we appreciated. The couch could have been a little more comfortable and that is why I only gave a 4 but other than that a 5 would be appropriate because we spent all of our time outdoors. We were lucky enough to view a wedding reception on the beach side courtyard during our stay. The marketplace shops are within walking distance, but you can take a taxi if needed. Reflections and Barefoot restaurant are right on the beach minutes from your room. We traveled to Aruba with friends who have been there several times. We would definitely love to return.

What is not to love about Surfside Aruba? By far the best place to stay in all of Aruba. All of the other hotels we saw during our trip had the sterility of an airport, but this place was incredibly tasteful and truly cared about their customers. Every morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast on our private balcony overlooking the beautiful beach and ocean. The room was gorgeous and much larger than we had expected, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the decor was tasteful. The hotel is on one of the most gorgeous beaches and the hotel provides beach chairs for free. The associated restaurant, on the ocean, had the most stunning views and was the best meal we had on our whole trip. Best of all was the gracious and accommodating staff.

We stayed 10 days at Aruba Surfside Marina for our 25 wedding anniversary and they made us feel very special. We absolutely loved our stay here and would definitely come back again!!!!!!!!
They did have 2 events in the courtyard while we were there but for us it wasn't an issue. When we went to bed we closed our bedroom door and it wasn't too loud and I had no problems sleeping but it was pretty loud in the living room but again not an issue for us.
The beach out front is beautiful and not crowded at all and the sunsets were amazing. There are no chairs out on the beach but you can take the lounge chairs out there, it would be nice if they had some light weight chairs that you could take onto the beach to enjoy the sunsets but we hauled out the lounge chairs for us.
Our room was clean and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Having a microwave and a full size fridge was great!! Even had a small ice maker in the freezer that I made good use of. A/C worked very well and kept our room cool.

The hospitality they provide is unique. The location is perfect. It only has four rooms, which gives the illusion that you have a hotel to yourself. The view is incredible, in front you have the sea, if you look towards the north of the island and you are lucky, you can admire a cruise ship in the distance. Watching the planes arrive at the island from the balcony is a fun experience. The morning breakfasts are varied. I loved the variety of birds and lizards that live in the hotel courtyard.

If you want to sleep find another place. Next to a race track, Nightclub included best dj iv'e heard no sleep al night, loudest beats ever. + a fridge with a jet engine to keep you awake. If youre a vampire this is the place for you. The rest was pretty decent.

We had an excellent stay at the Aruba Surfside Marina last September (2024). The breakfast at the balcony overlooking the ocean was very nice. The room was very spacious and tidy.

There are a couple of nice restaurants nearby.

Thank you for the outstanding service and the attentive staff.

We had a nice spacious apartment by the sea.
It looked exactly like the pictures on their website.
Reception was cordial and we could immediately enter the apartment.
Apartment was clean and you could change your towels every day for clean towels.
In the morning we received a delicious breakfast on our terrace
location perfect by the sea and just outside Oranjestad

The rooms are cute with a great view, staff is friendly. It’s a great no frills place to stay. And it’s at a nice middle ground between the popular parts of the island, with some neat close by places if you don’t want to drive or take a taxi.

I mean, who spends a vacation only in their room and only in a resort? This has what you need.
