Ocean Z Boutique Hotel

Service at Hotel Z was perfect, we enjoyed staying in our beautiful suite. The suite and hotel are super clean and we had everything we needed. They even kindly provided a cooler and chairs for the beach.

Location was great, for those who want to be outside of the noisy hotels and crowds. The staff was really great, they were always trying to please us on everything, wether booking a tour or food, or making sure we had everything for the day. I will be back to this hotel for sure

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Ocean Z! We highly recommend to anyone to check this place out. That was our fourth time in Aruba and this was our best stay! We will be back there soon!

Just got back from Aruba last weekend and I must say it was an obsolete treat staying at the Ocean Z Boutique Hotel. It is nestled on the north end of island away from all of the high rises so its at a very quite and relaxing location. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful throughout our trip with whatever our needs where. We also ate at the restaurant the last two nights the service and food was incredible. Highly recommend!!

Lovely small boutique hotel. Maria was great and very helpful. Pool very clean - there is construction going on which was a little noisy, but not too bad. Can definitively also recommend the restaurant - excellent food. Perfect for people who like to snorkel as all the spots are in walking distance of hotel. Super Food supermarket is also close by and has great European products. Plenty of good restaurants in the area and just a short drive to Eagle Beach

Love Maria & the property

Best hotel we’ve ever stayed in! The staff, food, view and accommodations were 5 ⭐️

Second time with OceanZ staff is incredible and kind Owner is so friendly and attentive and hotel manager Maria was fantastic and took care of all our needs and surprised us with kind gifts in room for our anniversary. Love it here and will return.

Amazing stay at OceanZ. Staff were incredible and attentive (especially Maria who ensured our stay was perfect). Hotel and amenities were superb. Quiet location with amazing views of the ocean.

Maria, Vanessa, and the staff were Amazing! It's quiet, clean and close to everything.

I would absolutely come here, without any hesitation, for our next couple visit. The only areas that needed improvement were very minor, so it didn't bother us at all. Our shower seemed to be missing a door, so water splashed everywhere outside of the shower. The controller arrows and 'ok' for the HDMI source 1 (tv apps) never worked, so we could only watch cable. Neither issue was a big deal at all, so we did not notify the property of this during our stay. This property was SOOOO quiet, it was a nice retreat from our loud, busy lives. The entire property is gorgeous and leaves you with such a sense of tranquilty. The pool and solarium are a wonderful area to take a break from salt water. There are beaches close by that are within walking distance.

My bf and I went to Aruba for the first time and stayed at Ocean Z. From the moment we arrived, Maria was so friendly and accommodating! She made us feel like VIP the whole time we were there. The property and our room were impeccably clean. If you’re looking for a place that is away from the hustle and bustle of the big hotels, we highly recommend staying here. It’s best to rent a car as we needed to rely on cabs to get around.

The Staff was AMAZING!!! So helpful and nice. Hotel was very clean and well maintained. The food was very good.

Great staff, very modern, close to the beach. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Great staff, great property and the food is delicious. I will be back.

I like the staff Maria was extremely helpful and it would have been nice if the owner spoke and appreciated her for her value.

Beautiful, quiet, gorgeous.

Maria is the best host i ever met. Aruba wouldn't be the same without her

The hotel was amazing! service was amazing!

Ocean Z Boutique Hotel – A Romantic Hidden Gem If you’re looking for a peaceful, romantic escape on the quieter side of Aruba, Ocean Z Boutique Hotel is it. Tucked away on the northern coast, it’s perfect for couples wanting to disconnect and focus on each other. The atmosphere is intimate, serene, and far from the busy resort crowds. Breakfast was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Dinner was just as impressive. We highly recommend planning at least one night in; it was one of our favorite meals on the island. Arashi Beach, our go-to, is just minutes away, and the hotel offers complimentary rides, which made beach days effortless. The rooms were spotless and beautifully designed, with a super comfy bed, rose petals and champagne on arrival, and a stunning outdoor shower. Every detail felt intentional and elevated the stay. We had zero complaints and are already recommending Ocean Z to friends. Just a heads-up: taxis can take 20 minutes since it’s up north, so booking ahead helps. A truly special place—romantic, relaxing, and worth every moment.

Rooms and staff were amazing!!!

Quiet, personal service, staff was amazing and the food was next level

This property was paradise and even the amazing pics don’t do it justice. The

Small place. 13 rooms. Staff was excellent and the food was first rate.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Restaurant is very good.

The staff was excellent

This is one of the best hotels at which I have ever stayed. The staff is beyond excellent. The food at the hotel restaurant was fabulous. We had never been to Aruba so we were so happy we picked the ocean z. It is a small quaint hotel but very close to all the action. We rented a car and the parking was free. We met some amazing staff including Carolina, Maria and Andres. It was our anniversary and they made it so special with decorations in our room and in the restaurant. It was absolutely the best of the best.

Had a FABULOUS stay here. Everything was top notch from the food to the staff!! I will definitely be coming back next year!!

The hotel staff was very accommodating.

Room was excellent + incredible food + impeccable service.

Wonderful hotel. Clean. Quiet. Accommodating. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

Stayed here on our honeymoon. Place was amazing. Maria was extremely helpful and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Its quiet but convenient to the higher energy parts of the island. Great sunsets and the beaches right across the street are not as crowded and have good snorkeling. The included breakfast was wonderful and we also enjoyed dinner and drinks at the restuarant. This is a very small, very nice hotel and they took great care of us.

This was a lovely quiet boutique just off the beaten path, but still very close to everything - with an excellent restaurant on site.

Maria and Ocean Z were amazing! From the moment we arrived until we checked out, Maria was completely hospitable and attentive. She helped with everything from arranging taxis, shuttle to the beach, snorkeling equipment or beach chairs, dinner reservations and much more. The hotel restaurant was the best place we ate (try the risotto!), and we tried all of the most popular places. We cannot wait to go back next year and do it all over again. Thanks again to Maria and the entire Ocean Z team!

This hotel was very quaint,cute and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I had a wonderful time as well as great food from the on-site restaurant. Across the road to the beach and cozy hideaway

Exceptional staff, service and cleanliness. Beautiful property with a great view. Nice quiet hotel away from the crowds.

Excellent hospitality. Fabulous, comfortable room with a helpful and respectful staff. Perfect for the introvert that loves to travel.

Super clean and just beautiful. So relaxing and the staff were just so kind and helpful. The breakfast which is included was delicious. We also ate dinner in the restaurant a couple nights. Will definitely be back.

Owner and all staff were very gracious and helpful!

Excelente lugar Y extraordinaria la atención

Great location. Clean rooms

Great 5 stars

This was my fiancé and I's 2nd time staying at Ocean Z Boutique and we are already looking to plan our third stay. Both times we have visited, we have felt like we were the only ones there because of how attentive the staff was to us. The complimentary breakfast is delicious, it is within walking distance from Arashi Beach, and the entire hotel experience is clean and inviting. The infinity pool is a nice little escape if you are not quite ready to head to the beach yet. If you are planning a beach day, they will provide you with beach chairs, towels, and a cooler with ice. Don't forget to try their amazing restaurant, you WILL NOT be disappointed! Cannot wait for our next trip, until then, see you soon!

This boutique hotel is absolutely beautiful! The owner and the staff go above and beyond for you. The place is so clean and welcoming. The restaurant is by far one of the best in the island. Breakfast was amazing every morning! The pool is sparkling clean. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Our stay was so peaceful and relaxing! Shout out to Eva the owner she know how to run a business!! We will definitely be back ppl

Ocean Z is an intimate boutique hotel We stayed for 4 nights in October. Staff are super friendly and work well together as a team. Maria and Eva work hard to ensure all your needs are met. They take pride in making sure you are comfortable, happy and enjoying your stay. Added bonus, food is excellent at the hotel as well!

OceanZ was probably the best experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. From the moment we got there the staff was amazing! The perfect setting for my wife and I to relax and enjoy. Restaurant was amazing also.

The bartender and wait staff was excellent. They were charming and hard working

One of the best experiences that I’ve had in Aruba. The excellent customer service began even before we arrived with Carolina reaching out to me regarding small details and suggestions that helped make the trip even better. The scenery was amazing! I wish I could have packed up the open air shower and brought it home with me. This will be my go to spot in Aruba from now on. They truly made us feel like family.

Very peaceful. Great customer care. Provided beach chairs ,coolers, ice every day dor the beach. They even vacuumed the sand out of our rental car before leaving . 😎

Best place ever, would recommend to everyone

Our visit to Ocean Z hotel was such a great experience. If you have any issues for sure they will solve you for you. The bag gif was a plus. Maria was very polite, servicial and king to us. The food on the restaurant is delicious. The pool was so beautiful and in a perfect temperature. The view front the room was unique. I really recommend Ocean Z for your vacation.

literally steps from the best snorkeling on the island! And, Maria will set you up with beach chairs, towels, and a cooler with ice all gratis! We picked this hotel specifically for its location near some of the islands best beaches and snorkeling locations, as well as for its separation from the mega-properties down the way. We chose the most modest room, which was well appointed and cleaned every day while we were at breakfast(included). Everyone we met, staff and guests, were wonderful!

What an amazing location and property!! The hotel and our room were beautiful and clean. Everyone was friendly and helpful and eager to make sure we always had everything we needed for a great vacation. A special thank you to Maria who went out of her way to make our trip memorable.

The property is absolutely beautiful. Small but the service makes up for the lack of facilities. The level of care and hospitality we received exceeded any expectation I had for our 5 day stay. Maria and Eva are masterclass.

The property was so nice, the staff amazing! The view breathtaking. Perfect for a romantic get away or a little R&R!

We just had an absolutely fantastic visit to Aruba (Aug 5-10, 2024). Ocean Z is a boutique and very small hotel. I am providing the good and the room for improvement items. Good: - Amazingly good staff; very attentive and very prompt - Very close to Tres Tapes (snorkeling for turtles) - Quiet and away from the "party zone" of Aruba (we loved that) Room for improvement: - We had 2 pool suites; bathrooms were awesome. However you literally can't use the toilet from 7:30am - 11am because it's so hot. Maybe a screen should be put in the bathroom that can be drawn down - The lack of privacy when using the pool or stepping out of the rooms and the dining room is right across is very strange - Modify breakfast menu once every couple of weeks or every month? Even though we loved our stay, the staff, etc., we would not go back to Ocean Z - It's too expensive for what it offers - One day there was a party which took over the entire hotel and we were informed about it, the day off. We could not even park our car in the small parking lot We understand it's a small hotel (7-8 rooms), but when one is paying ~$500/room/night, one does expect a little bit more

Place was beautiful and clean the owner is on the property she is awesome and so friendly

I Really loved everything about my stay,the waitress was so helpful and the owner was so nice

Our stay at Ocean Z was exceptional. Eva and her staff make sure that your every need is taken care of. (special shout out to Maria and the bartender!) The property is beautiful and the showers in your room are addicting. They are open air showers and you get this indescribable Aruban breeze that you have to experience. The food at the Ocean Z restaurant is very good too. I ate there twice. Once for the pasta (with white sauce) and the most delicious paella! If Ocean Z has any drawbacks, they would just be two things - the glass bathroom can get very hot - a small price to pay for that shower. My deodorant melted so i had buy a new one and we kept some meltable toiletries in the room. Again, a small price to pay for that magnificent shower. The only other thing I might mention is location. Its a little further away from the "tourist action." Thats probably a selling point for many people. There is a great beach in walking distance - that they will also drive you to - but if you want to get to some of the other beaches, bars or restaurants, you will need a taxi or to drive. Taxis are plentiful and do come fast so thats helpful. So for service, ambience, food, and those showers!!! - Ocean Z made our vacation very special and I highly recommend it.

This was hands down the best vacation I’ve had in a long time. This hotel is small quiet and all the staff are amazing and kind. What a fantastic place to stay as well as food that’s offered. The owner made it a point to greet all the guests and check on you every day to make sure all t your needs were met. Loved this place perfect for a quiet and smaller place to stay.

The owner HAS THE RECIPE RIGHT, don’t change a thing in my opinion! The quiet at first is weird but drive 5mins over to the resort towers and you will embrace the quiet! Must stay and a special thanks to Maria and the entire staff for giving us a fabulous experience!

The staff was excellent. The food was delicious!

OceanZ is a quiet Ocean front oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Palm Beach, yet only minutes away by car, taxi or bus. It is the best of both worlds. It is right across from Malmok beach and Tres Tapi for easy access to snorkeling. The staff and food are beyond compare. We ate breakfast daily and had dinner twice during our stay. Our best meals were at Ocean Z.

This property is a little further away from the action, but that's why I selected it. I was not prepared for the construction on the 2 properties next door, that woke me up every morning. Apparently there are no rules in Aruba so they can start and end whenever, even on Sundays.

Amazing staff and low key clean

The hotel is gorgeous, quiet, safe, and complete with everything you need for a nice vacation in Aruba. The staff go WAY above and beyond for their patrons and all the little thoughtful details made this a fantastic getaway. I celebrated my 40th birthday here and can't say enough great things about Ocean Z. And the food is out of this world - the restaurant see visitors from all over the island which is telling to how amazing the menu is - get the paella and you won't be disappointed!! Beautiful stay :)

Great location and lovely atmosphere. If you are looking for quiet no fuss relaxation, this is your place. The lovely, Miami like interior courtyard, nice clean rooms and open bathroom are all geared towards helping guests feel a zen like calm:) the staff is nice and helpful, just remember that umbrellas at Arashi beach cost 70 but it is the best beach and so worth it. We did go to ritz beach and it had seaweed and none of the vibe of Arashi. So pay the money and hang out at Arashi you won’t regret it. For us the shampoo etc were not luxuries as much as the late check out and general freedom to relax. That stuff can be bought, time is the real rarity. Highly recommend this small hotel!good restaurant, extremely pricy kind you, but nice food and slow service. No one rushes which isn’t a bad thing! Breakfast was also nice- no waste and enough food! We shall be back for sure if the hotel maintains its chill, sleepy energy!

I enjoyed my stay at Ocean Z Boutique hotel. Maria and Odra have the most spectacular customer service and were extremely helpful. Feliciano who was our hostess at dinner also had wonderful customer service. The hotel is beautiful and so is the staff, anyone that walks past you will greet you with a smile. Also the food is great !

Good

We had a great time, Maria was awesome and very friendly. The property was beautiful, I was impressed and we will definitely be back.

Our stay at Ocean Z was awesome. The staff was extremely courteous and hospitable. The premises was clean and well kept. My husband and I would def return to Ocean Z.

I liked everything about this property,also wanted to thank Maria,she was so helpful.

Overall, this was a serene and unique property. The vaulted bedroom ceiling, semi-private balcony pool, and modern looking bathroom were very enjoyable and memorable. However, some of the closet drawers were broken or didn't slide well, there was no exhaust fan for the bathroom, and the wind made constant noises at night (need to improve this). The staff was fantastic and most accommodating though. I would definitely stay here again.

This was our first time at a boutique and we absolutely loved the individual attention we received. Herman was very hospitable and our breakfasts every morning with Marie were wonderful. Everyone at the hotel, as well as the other guest were very friendly. The hotel itself and the food was out of this world!

Everything about this hotel was perfect for us. We had a room with the private infinity pool on our balcony. Amazing view, the pool was great. Staff was beyond kind and would offer to help with anything before you'd even think about needing help. Breakfast every morning was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Something to look forward to every morning. They heard us talking about going down to the beach during breakfast, and brought us a cooler with ice and 2 beach chairs, and we didnt even ask! It was perfect. Dinner is also very good. Can't say enough good things about this hotel. This was our first trip to Aruba, and we plan on coming back. When we do, I won't even bother looking at another hotel. This place is it for us. Special thank you to Maria and Herman for all they do!

Lovely people clean

It was away from the downtown area which was what my husband and I was looking for. The rooms are beautiful and modern. The owner Eva along with the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was amazing. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. My next trip to Aruba we will definitely stay at Ocean Z

The overall stay was amazing. The facility, location, staff and restaurant were great. A life Changing experience. 5 stars

From our beautiful ocean view room that has our own mini jacuzzi pool, and the beautiful sight of the sun setting every night; To beautiful and welcoming workers and staff of Ocean Z who both served us during our stay at the hotel and while dining at their restaurant, we had an incredible time and we’d highly recommend this place especially if you want to be away from the crowd. Special shoutout to Vivi and Isabella for being so wonderful and kind. You girls made our trip more memorable. God bless you!!

Great stay. Staff was amazing. Owner on location and very welcoming. Would highly recommend.

We had a great stay at Ocean Z. Lovely design, friendly helpful staff, terrific restaurant. All very welcoming and relaxing.

Great place would stay there again!

Definitely a 10. Will stay again.

The service here is absolutely exceptional. Each person at Ocean Z knew our names, were eager and happy to help with anything at all. The food was excellent, the pool was really nice, and location is superb, if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing, nature-first experience. We has a delicious fresh breakfast each morning, walked to the beach, snorkeled with fish and sea turtles (!!) and came back to relax in the pool, have a glass of wine on our balcony, etc. The only reasons we didn't give this 5 stars is because our room (the mini master suite) was much smaller than anticipated, and unfortunately there was a sewage smell/situation which was unpleasant for a full 24 hours of our time here. Other than that, the owners, mgmt, folks in service, etc. were phenomenal!

Staff and owners are great, great service.

Exquisite service, beautifully maintained and delightful experience all around. Will stay here again.

I booked OceanZ for a surprise 25th wedding anniversary for my wife and I. This was both of our first time in Aruba. I looked at several hotels online, but I had specific requirements that I wanted from this trip, and the traditional hotel, didn't really appeal to me figuring it would be just another flavor of the same thing (i.e most chain hotels), in a different country. I discovered OceanZ in my search and obviously the reviews played a big part in my selection. But the pictures showed atheistics that I felt my wife and I would enjoy, also the proximity to the ocean. There are different room types to choose from. There was only one Ocean view room available for the 8 days I wanted it, but it had a nice balcony so we could watch the sunsets (which were amazing btw). The room was cozy, super clean, bed very comfortable and well maintained. Fresh beach towels each day; and the salt water pool and patio area was awesome. We would swim before breakfast, and usually in the evening! The included breakfast was excellent, made fresh, the Egg's Oz was my particular favorite! The hotel is located in the quieter north west side of the island, away from the hustle and bustle of the Hotel Area. I'd recommend renting a small rental car and zipping around the island. If your considering this hotel, then you must already know the kind of experience your looking for, so do it!

This business (boutique hotel, high end restaurant and a fashion boutique) is a hidden gem in the Carribean. My daughter and I had an amazing 12 day stay in the bigger pool suite (room 10) in July. Amazing experience enhanced by professionalism, very wam hospitality and kindness. Comfortable, clean and chic hotel room. Stunning guest pool downstairs and a romantic smaller private pool accessed from the pool suite upstairs. The staff provided exceptional service with grace and a smile. Owner Eva is a visionary with an immense talent, immecable taste in fashion and decor and deep knowledge of how to run a high end boutique hotel business and restaurant. Special thanks to GM Leonicita. She is very professional, engaging, kind, smiley and attentive. No request was too big or too small. I loved our conversations over breakfast each morning. A lifetime of memories was created. Many thanks to everyone at Ocean Z! Everyone made us feel welcome - like we were at home - and the food and cocktails/drinks at the restaurant were absolutely amazing! We will be back!

My wife and I just stayed at the ocean z hotel in Aruba. We were in suite 11 with an amazing view of the ocean. This hotel is beautiful. Very clean, quiet and away from the busy tourist areas. But if you want to go there it's only a 5 min drive up the road. The beach is a 3 min drive or 10 min walk. What sets this place apart by far is the staff. The staff is awesome. So attentive and friendly. Especially Maria. She took care of whatever we needed at any time. They had breakfast for us every morning and having dinner in their restaurant at night was a great experience. The only negative I can say is that the jets in our private pool were broke and could not be fixed until our last day. Small price to pay for how amazing everything was. I highly recommend and will absolutely stay there again. We loved it.

Well I was under the impression based on all of the travel apps that there was one room left. Well this was not the case. I was the only one in the hotel. The entire hotel was vacant. It is not walkable to any convenience stores or shopping. The beaches there are full of coral reef and rocks. It is across the street from the beach. The breakfast was perfect. If you choose dinner at their restaurant you can expect to pay some awfully high prices compared to the rest of the island. I asked Leoncita if there were any places to shop and she mentioned to me that I shouldn't be shopping on my vacation. Regardless she sent me to a rundown area in the city which made me uncomfortable once I left my car and walked to the shopping areas. I had to find out on my own that there was a hotel zone which was 5 minute drive from where the hotel was. It was very active and full of tourists and action. And this is the type of vacation that I wanted. So I decided to leave the hotel and transferred to the Hyatt Regency. I was not given any refund but I did not expect it. I was so unhappy there because I was all by myself that I actually paid for another hotel in an area where there were people and assortments of restaurants and food and shopping etc. I cannot complain about the hotel it was a very beautiful hotel and a wonderful staff. It would be a very romantic hotel for couples. I blame myself for going to a boutique hotel. It just wasn't for me. I still enjoyed my stay while I was there.

So first I’d like to apologize for this late review as upon returning from my vacation I was extremely busy. I knew I was eventually gonna get to it. I would like to begin by sayin thank you to Leoncia who made this a dream vacation from the moment we got there. It was our 30th anniversary and she made sure it was memorable. Her service and attention to detail made this by far our best trip and experience ever. From the preparation and decoration of our room to the delicious meals in the dining area, it was all amazing. Leo cita serviced us personally during breakfast, and even that was impressive. A week for us did not seem like enough time as we felt so comfortable and well taken care of. It honestly felt like we were part of the family. I would like to express my gratitude to the owners Eva and Zulay whom I must say weee super attentive and personable. Eva also made it clear that if I needed anything, that I could even knock on her door with any questions or concerns. I would also like to recognize the staff on premises they made our stay so comforting. Thank you to Odra, Michael, and Ediney. This is a place that I am looking forward to returning to!

We travel alot and stay in very nice resorts but decided to try something different this time. Ocean Z really spoiles us and has changed our prospective on accommodations whwn traveling. Our stay was so personalized and special and with only 13 rooms, very private. It was like am oasis from the hustle and bustle. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The bathroom shower is outdoors and adds such a romantic vibe and great for pics. The staff is amazing and truly provide hospitality that spoils you rotten. Leoncita and Maria were the absolute best!!!!! They truly worked together to make sure we had reservations, excursions, taxis, and a table set every morning for breakfast. We got a chance to met the owner Eva so that was exciting and her son. Im not sure if he was working or there to relax with his family but he helped several times and was SUPER nice! If you are looking for a personal experience, Ocean Z is the place. It's in a great location, the restaurant hands down was the best food we had the whole week. Seasoned to perfection! Thus hotel is truly one of a kind.

The hotel and service were excellent. We really enjoyed our stay here! It was clean, and beautiful and the views were amazing!
