Hotels near Balashi Gold Smelter Ruins

"Please do not go to coral reef. It’s a terrible place. The picture you see online is not real; the bathroom is full of mold, the shared kitchen is dirty; the owner is a ripoff and l can go on and on. I had to leave after 2 nights even though my stay was supposed to be 5 nights. So go figure. Terrible terrible place. There was construction being done on the premises and loud noise of banging from the workers was disturbing. If you prefer a run down place, Coral Reef is for you! Don’t waste your money and l have videos to prove my point."

"Our stay at the Marina Tower was fine, but overall the resort feels dated and lacks anything truly memorable. What we liked: * Renaissance Island is the highlight. It’s beautiful, with calm, clear water and plenty of tropical fish. We had several great beach days there. * The boat rides to the island were a fun touch. The drivers were consistently friendly and added to the experience. * The renovated marina pool area feels modern and well done. * Housekeeping was excellent. Our room was cleaned thoroughly and consistently without disruption. What we disliked: * Food on Renaissance Island is underwhelming, and service is extremely slow. The resort would benefit from simple, quick “beach food” options. * The push for reusable water bottles feels poorly executed. There are no self-service refill stations on the island or at the marina, and some staff make refilling water unnecessarily difficult. * There is a surprising lack of ice cream anywhere on the property. No stand by the pools or on the island feels like a missed opportunity. * Service overall was inconsistent. Some staff went above and beyond, while others were noticeably rude. Checkout at the front desk was especially disappointing. * We were never given a schedule of resort activities at check-in and only discovered them toward the end of our stay."

"We had a great stay. The staff was very nice, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. The location was perfect, especially if you want to be close to the airport while still enjoying Aruba. Everything was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again."

"Very clean and cozy property. The pool area was accommodating and well laid out. The room had everything we needed except towels. There were only 2 shower towels and 1 smaller towel. No facecloths or pool towels. The staff isn't there very often and when you try to call them they don't always answer the phone, or texts for that matter. This was the only frustrating thing about Juanedu."

"Property is beautiful! It’s right in the middle of everything on the island. We got a rental car and it was very easy to explore. There’s a fresh fish market right in front of the property if you wanted to buy fish and cook it at the villa. We will absolutely be back! "

"Very helpful owners. A nice small place to relax ."

"Clean room, clean common areas, I think maybe the food was a bit better about a year ago when I was there last bit still good. Very kind and helpful staff"
