Karibu Aruba Boutique Hotel

Karibu boutique hotel felt like home from the moment we arrived. It’s a rare gem right across from the beach in Aruba, and the owners made us feel like personal guests throughout our amazing week. Their attention to detail and customer service were beyond what you find at the big resorts. We felt like locals with a home away from home, and it added so much to our travel experience. We’re grateful they made our stay so memorable and look forward to returning. Highly recommend it for a special, one-of-a-kind island experience.

Andreas and Beaja put a lot of pride and effort into their hotel. From the moment we arrived, they treated us like family and shared favorite local restaurants, along with ideas for what to do and when. I cooked breakfast in the main dining room each morning, which gave us some of the comforts of home without eating out for every meal. The pool area had plenty of spots to lie in the sun or find shade and enjoy the Arubian weather. We rented a car and had no trouble parking in the property’s roomy driveway. I’ll keep coming back.

The rooms are set up with the things you need, and the bed was made every day. With a maximum of 10 guests, it stays really quiet. Andras and Beha were so thoughtful. My flight delay meant a small hiccup getting to Aruba, and even while I was having dinner with friends before check-in, they messaged to see if everything was okay. They even waved goodbye as I drove off. I’ve stayed at Ritz, Four Season and St Regis around the world, and haven’t experienced this kind of hospitality before. You won’t regret staying here. If you’re going to Aruba, I’d definitely recommend this boutique hotel.

The place was extremely clean, and the other guests were pleasant, mature people. The hosts are incredibly warm and kind, and will do anything to make your stay memorable. They even offered me rides to the store.
