Mexican Style Villa with Private Pool - Free Utilities
Groundbreaking Mexican design, tropical colors, lush gardens, a swim-up bar at the resort style pool and heated Jacuzzi all make Villa Aloe one of the most unique Caribbean vacation homes in Aruba!
The kitchen is highly stylized, dripping with authentic Mexican flair in both the architecture and décor. In addition to being picturesque, it is functional as well. Inside, you will uncover stainless-steel appliances, rich countertops, vivid cabinetry, and a kitchen island. Care to make suppertime an experience to remember? Be sure take advantage of the fun and festive fondue sets, complete with everything you need!
Two deluxe sliding doors open up the kitchen and living area to the covered patios, allowing you to take part in true island indoor/outdoor living. Though there is air conditioning in several rooms throughout the home, it’s layout is designed to allow a natural breeze to effortlessly flow throughout the house.
Located on the ground floor are four deluxe bedrooms, each with their own style and charm.
Encompassing a true essence of romance, Bedroom #1 showcases a king size bed with an ornate wood carved headboard, cool tiled flooring, textured walls, and several cultural appointments throughout. In addition, you will find double French doors that provide exclusive access to the back terrace, as well as a private en-suite, with a natural stone shower which offers an ideal view of the starry skies above. This opulent boudoir will have you wondering if you’ll ever need a trip to the spa again!
Bedroom #2 presents many of the same trappings as Bedroom #1, however in a more classically quaint and understated fashion. Here, you will enjoy a queen size bed, matching nightstands, decorative wrought iron embellishments and a private en-suite.
Bedroom #3 and Bedroom #4 (on the 2nd floor) contain 2 twin beds, a communal night table, and additional ornamental enhancements to make it feel like home.
Bedroom #5 is a particularly special dwelling, as it is technically a standalone apartment with a kitchen, queen bed, and private en-suite with a walk-in shower!
We can almost guarantee you have never seen a backyard quite like this one! Festooned with beautifully landscaped gardens and a myriad of palms, this haven is completely secluded from view! Natural flagstone terraces envelope the five-star resort-style swimming pool and heated Jacuzzi, while hammocks sway lazily in the breeze, setting the scene for your private slice of paradise. You will find just about anything and everything you could want at this luxurious and noteworthy villa, including beach chairs, pool floats, sand toys, and more!
Words cannot do this villa justice. You’ll just have to come and see for yourself! And when you arrive, be sure to fix yourself a drink, head out back, catch your breath, and take a look around… this is what life is all about!

Property was comfortable for our family vacation. When the dishwasher wasn't working, it was repaired very promptly. The separate apartment is very small, but adequate for extra sleeping space.

Dear Darla, thank you for your review! We hope to welcome you back in the future.
From the moment we walked in the front door to the moment we checked out this amazing place felt like home. Leaving was so difficult and we had tears! As is the case with all home, there were a couple things that came up on our 2 week stay but the host was incredibly receptive and everything was addressed in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this property for a larger family. Plenty of room and amenities. Absolutely outstanding for all of us who came. What a gem. We definitely plan on coming back!!
Had a wonderful time staying here. We had enough room for everyone and felt very comfortable. We absolutely loved the pool and jacuzzi. We had many dinners alfresco. You won’t regret staying here. It’s a paradise in its self.

This house is even better than the pictures portray. It was absolutely perfect. The backyard is movie-worthy and is just beyond gorgeous. The property manager responded to questions extremely promptly, which is a huge help. I give this rental 10/5 stars! You will not want to ever leave!

We had a wonderful stay at the casita. It’s in a great location, close to both Oranjestad and the beaches. I would recommend renting a car to make getting around easier. The pool and outdoor spaces are beautiful. Our only issue was the hot water tank was broken for our first two days there and we didn’t have hot water. Once we notified the company, the problem was resolved as quickly as possible given it was over the weekend and New Year’s Eve, and a new water heater was installed. With little kids, the house was amazing and the washer and dryer were amazing to have!

We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the hot water tank issue and are glad we could resolve it for you as quickly as possible, especially during the holiday weekend.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you and your family back for another wonderful stay in the future!
The place was beautiful. Great location! They had chairs, umbrella and cooler. Perfect for everything you need for the beach. Enough towels for beach and showers. The dryer wasn't working so well. But we hung the stuff outside. Everything you need to cook, but bring your own spices. We loved our stay. I plan on coming back!

The Aloe Villa was beautiful! We loved the outdoor oasis w/pool and patio details. The Villa was big enough to accommodate 2 families of 5 people... everyone got their own room. Rent a car! We were close to a supermarket and 6-8 minutes from Divi and Eagle beach. We were centrally located on the island and drove to all the major places: Arikok National Park, Baby Beach, San Nicolas, California light house, and we just explored. My older Teen/Adult kids loved the pool area and backyard. I loved the fun Mexican vibe of the house and having a full kitchen. Had an issue with the hot water, pilot light was out, but it was fixed within hours of contacting Casiola. We felt safe in our neighborhood and would definitely stay again. One family!
We were joined by our son and daughter and their families comprising 2 older children 18 and 20 and two youngsters 5 and 8. The outdoor area in particular was a big winner with the youngsters hardly ever out of the pool. We loved the bbq facility and spent evenings on the patio enjoying the local beer and wine. The property was well air conditioned and very comfortable with everything catered for. We even had a friendly Iguana who enjoyed the grapes etc fed to him by the children! A great villa for a family get together.

Reviewer Comments:
I rented Villa Aloe for 12 nights and had basically a full house for the entire time with multiple sets of friends and family coming in for 4 or 5 nights each. There was a bit of rain and a rogue iguana here and there that complicated things a bit given the outside living nature of the villa but that is certainly nobody's fault!
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
Hi Paul, yes you got the rain we didn't get for more than a year. We were all happy with it, but so sorry it had to come down during your stay! Iguanas population under control now that we've been able to relocate a few to the cunucu area by the Lighthouse. Never a dull moment in paradise :) Best regards, Stuart

The property was beautiful and a direct reflection of what was advertised. We rented the Villa for my family of 10 to stay during our daughter's destination wedding in Aruba. At first because this was our first time on the island, we were unsure of the location in relation to the wedding festivities, but it was perfect. Close to downtown, close to beaches, close to the center of everything. We will definitely be back to enjoy Aruba again, and will be staying at Villa Aloe Aruba.

Family retreat
I was traveling with my family and stayed in Villa Aloe for a week. Overall I had a great experience. Villa is very comfortable and clean. It was plenty of space for adults and our kids. We enjoyed open patio and pool. Heated jacuzzi was a extra bonus. Location of the villa in the quite, suburbs area with close proximity to shopping and beach. We had a rental car, therefore it was easy to get around. I want to highlight outstanding communication with property management company before and after check-in. We had several questions and they were handled promptly. I will definitely recommend this villa to all for your next stay in Aruba.
The home was lovely and could accommodate our family’s needs. The backyard was a retreat! The communication was good and they answered all of the questions we had. We needed to reach out while staying there for a few things and they did respond quickly. However we didn’t get any resolution to the previous renters trash getting picked up and then ours was piling up. Also we ran out of gas the day before we left so we couldn’t use the oven and had cooler water for showers. We also couldn’t dry our clothes to travel home. We did contact them and they came out to see it but no one filled it out. Overall the property was very nice and they did try their best to resolve the issues we had.

Villa Aloe was amazing! It had everything we needed, and the amenities were wonderful. We spent a lot of time there during our vacation because the backyard was so beautiful. HOWEVER, every single bed (especially the master) was VERY uncomfortable. The MBR bed felt like you were sleeping on a boxspring with no mattress on top. The 6 of us kept switching beds to see if we could find a more comfortable one. For this reason, I would not go back to this villa unless they upgrade the mattresses.

Dear Katherine, love that Villa Aloe is your slice of Heaven! And I'm very sorry to read that you found the beds so uncomfortable. They are on the firm side but we have not had any complaints before. That said, we decided to get very nice soft memory foam cool special mattress topper for the beds. Feedback we got was very positive when we asked. We hope to welcome you again some day to Villa Aloe :) Warm regards,

Overall, the house looks exactly like the pictures. Beautiful! A taxi is needed to get around. The taxi's are per ride not per person. To get to the downtown are the taxi was about $10. There is a supermarket right around the corner. My only complaint was that there was no hot water in the house. When I called the owner we received no answer. I tried calling for 3 days. The only time I seen him was the first day. There were a lot of bugs on the island so bring insect repellent.

Hi Shakia,
I'm sorry you had trouble getting getting through to us. We actually did not receive any message from you till day 2 and the gas tank was refilled the same day. We're available 24x7 to our guests and can always be reached by phone, email, vrbo messaging platform/app. When you were here it was a particularly rainy and muggy period and there were a lot of mosquitos everywhere on the island. We have since then made it policy to schedule fogging against mosquitos prior to each guest arrival. We do this not just at this home but at all of our villas during the rainy period and anytime whenever there has been some rain. It's quite expensive but we feel it's best in order for our guests to have a mosquito free vacation. We have not had mosquito issues at any of the homes since we implemented this program.

Villa Aloe was lovely. The villa was plenty big enough for our family of 8. The large round table and oblong table were great to eat at, to laugh, and share our stories. Stuart was great! He was very helpful and responded very quickly. Our first morning the coffee maker wasn't working so we called Stuart he was at the villa in minutes with another coffee maker and coffee! The location of the Villa to the beaches require you to rent a car or take a taxi. Taxi's are pricey. A few things if updated would make this Villa perfect: o updated mattresses o hot tub wasn't working o refrigerator / freezer (door didn't close well, freezer wasn't working properly) Like I said the Villa was lovely with the updates it would be perfect!

Hi Donna, thanks for staying and thanks for leaving us a review. Guess what? We have made it perfect! Yes, the jacuzzi heater has been fixed and we've replaced the gorgeous stainless steel double door (but problematic) fridge with another gorgeous stainless steel double door (not prolematic) fridge. Yay! We hope you'll come check them out for yourself (but maybe you don't need an excuse to come down again?). Thanks for having such a wonderful time at Villa Aloe and telling everyone about it :) Happy regards, Julia

Okay but needs some repairs
Property could use some repairs - the back sliding doors were broken and did not lock properly. The master bathroom leaked when it rained. We had a storm on wed and a crew came to pack up outside furniture and cushions and tables but did not come back till 3pm on Friday to put back even though the storm was over on Thursday. I wrote multiple email to try to get maintenance there for Thurs… also the front lights did not go on at night - and the sensor light didn’t always work.
there were not enough towels at first but after a request - they gave us a lot of towels which was nice.
The vacation was nice and the house worked for us but I would not stay here again.

Hi Daniela, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Our maintenance is taking care of the glass door and reset/adjust the front lights timer. Unfortunately last week our team had to work really hard to make sure all furniture's are placed inside at all of our homes to make sure everything would be fine for the storm. On Thursday, even tough the storm passed we still receive a lot of rain in the afternoons/evenings. Because of this our team ran behind schedule but did their best to get this done. Due to the unforeseen circumstance regarding the storm, we had to remove them but the furniture's are all placed back outside.
Wish you all the best, stay safe & take care!!
