Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
When I booked this place I had no idea how perfectly it was located with access to the beaches and sights of Aruba. We were literally just minutes from Oranjestad or Palm Beach, Rts 1 and 3 and 4. I strongly recommend having a car though. The rooms are big and have everything you need. The owners provide beach chairs, a cooler with ice blocks and towels. The refrigerator freezer makes all the ice you need for drinks. The Super Food Store is literally 1 minute away! I enjoyed the freedom of not being at the large hotels but regardless you are so busy all day you are only in the room to sleep etc.and saved a lot of money. It has a safe but it's really a quiet safe area. Highly recommend!!

I chose Aruba for the weather and white sandy beaches. I needed a quiet few days and wanted to enjoy the feel of our own "home" for our stay. Golden Villas did not disappoint. The area is safe and comfortable and the apartments cozy, clean and provide all that you need while there. Ricard could not be a better host. He is always available within minutes of looking for him. He has all the information you need with always with a friendly, warm personality. The location is perfect! Although driving is a bit tricky with all the round a bouts it is not that bad. You are a 10 minute ride to beautiful beaches. Once there you can relax and enjoy the gorgeous sand and water. (It is quite breezy so ladies I would recommend bringing a hat/scarf/headband to keep your hair under control). We enjoyed superb meals at two of the amazing restaurants recommended by Ricard. Staff, food, presentation and ambiance at both places deserve 10's. Our stay was short but the memory will be long. Thank you Ricard for a short but happy stay.

Love this property. The layout with private courtyard pool area was a quiet retreat. Apartment is great size w tv in bedroom and living room. Owners live on sight and are super friendly helpful. Quiet neighborhood but would recommend a car. Near palm beach and super grocery store. Love the small number of villas, it was like having the pool all to ourselves. Adorable Dutch architecture. I booked base on the reviews I read, and it did not disappoint.

In researching where to stay in Aruba I found myself overwhelmed with the options and areas to stay. We wanted a place with a kitchen, pool and grill. Golden Villas was the BEST choice we could have made. These apartments are spotlessly clean, fully equipped and extremely comfortable. Thanks to all the help from the owners we felt like we were able to live as locals for our vacation exploring all the beaches the island has to offer. Golden Villas is convenient to all of them. A quick 5-10 minute drive had you at some of the most beautiful beaches on the island. The cooler and beach chairs/beach towels enabled us to be mobile and to fully enjoy each beach day. The housekeeping every other day was a huge plus with replacement bath and beach towels left for us. We never want to stay in Aruba at another place. We now see why people return to not only the gorgeous Aruba for vacations, but also why they return to Golden Villas!!

We were welcomed warmly and with the best customer service! The owners were friendly and went above and beyond helping to make our arrival to this "one happy island" the BEST! Immaculate suites and out door pool area. Private and quiet, off the beach mid island but a very short ride to it. Highly recommend this quant cozy Villa for your stay.

First, we were well received by the host, Ricard. He was super nice and very thoughtful of our stay, for the first time in Aruba. The villa was beauty at first sight. Everything about the villa was exceptional, it looks even more amazing in person than the pictures. The apartment my boyfriend and I stayed in was clean, and efficient

Such an amazing little place!! The staff is so incredibly friendly and mainly speak Spanish but understand english. They do whatever to make your stay better!!! They also clean every other day and leave towels. The place is a little compound that is enclosed with about 10 little house units and a pool and a hot tub in the center it's beautiful! They provide you with NETFLIX as well!! The space is enough for 4 people maybe 5 but in no way can 6 people fit in my opinion. The kitchen is big enough to cook and the dining area is within the kitchen and living room (second bedroom) area. The bathroom is so pretty the shower typical and the bedroom is very roomy!! The air conditioning is superb tho it's the type you turn on and you get cold really fast but once you stop it you get hot again 😂!! I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IS YOU LOVE A SMALL VILLA ISH TYPE AREA!!

No, they don't. However, in our room, they had 2 beach chairs that we could take, that were awesome, with 2 zippered compartments on the back, one that was for a cooler, and they had frozen freezer packs in the room's freezer to use!
Hello.
We are located very close to Papiamento Restaurant, close to Palm Beach and Eagle Beach. We suggest to rent a car to explore the different beaches and we offer beach cooler, beach chairs to take with you..
All around Aruba are dogs in the stree, they are not dangerous, even that law of Aruba is trying to prevent it.
If you have any other questions please let me know.
Best Regards.
Ricard
