Goed gelegen, beetje primitief maar vriendelijk verblijf.

Negatief: De tekst in de advertentie klopte niet helemaal. Er was geen parkeerplaats op eigen terrein. Althans daar stond al een boot. Je kon wel goed in de straat parkeren. In de advertentie was het een 6 persoons huisje met twee slaapkamers met dubbelbed en twee eenpersoons bedden in de woonkamer. In de praktijk was er 1 slaapkamer en de woonkamer. De andere slaapkamer was afgesloten. Vanuit mijn slaapkamer moest ik daardoor altijd door de woonkamer waar mijn zoon sliep om bij toilet, keuken of terras te komen. Dat vond ik niet prettig. Ze waren ook aan het verbouwen met herrie. Ze probeerden dat wel in overleg te doen. De keukeninrichting was zeer summier. Geen elektrische waterkoker of waterketel voor op het gas. Nauwelijks pannen. Geen waslijn of droogrek op het terras voor handdoeken of handwasje. Airco in slaapkamer mocht overdag niet gebruikt worden; airco in de woonkamer maakte het terras erg heet. Positief: het zijn zeker aardige mensen zijn. Als je wilt duiken of snorkelen zit je hier goed. Het is namelijk ook een duikschool. Het is geweldig gelegen op het eiland. Centraal. Je kan lopend bij mooie rustige snorkel stranden komen met hier en daar schaduw. Mangrove bossen. Restaurant en winkel op loopafstand. Rustige buurt. Bij het huisje hoorde ook 3 strandstoelen en een koelbox om mee naar het strand te kunnen nemen. Dat was heel prettig. Op het terras hing een hangmat.

Simple, affordable spot

Everything said about Juan and Angela is spot-on! Great people, couldn't be better! Juan catered to my specific dive request at the busiest time of the year! The shop is steps from a dock where you can get fresh fish straight from the sea early morning or late afternoon. They will prepare the fish for you if you ask. But you will not be on the water here. Near Mangel Halto beach which is quiet and lovely. Do rent a car to get around the island. They will rent to you direct to save money and pick up and drop off at the airport. The unit is a one bedroom with two twin beds in the living room with small table. A/C works great in both rooms. The small kitchen has everything you need. I asked for a coffee maker and a grill and they were there waiting for us from day one. On arrival there was very little there beyond a bit of paper towel and half roll of toilet paper. We left behind extras, be prepared to buy cooking oil, really everything consumable or disposable. This includes beach towels and a cooler which for some reason we had to buy. One thing to clarify: the water temperature is whatever the ambient air provides. No cold or hot from the pipes. But water pressure is fine. The door has some gaps, be prepared for mosquitoes. Very basic interior, some work clearly handyman level. If that's not your thing, this isn't your place. But we had a blast and could not have been happier. Great people and if you dive, these are the ones you want!

Excellent Aruba stay

We had a wonderful time at the Nautilus Inn. The hosts, Juan and Angela went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The space is simple and clean with an awesome shower! We spent time every day on the covered patio and in the hammock. Comfortable and safe. Blackie the cat kept us company in the mornings as we enjoyed our coffee outside. Hosts are very responsive and made many great recommendations. And if you want to scuba or snorkel, this is the place to do it. The hosts also run the scuba, snorkeling school, and do excursions. We did a snorkeling excursion. That was absolutely stunning and Jose was amazing. Definitely would come again and stay here!
