Modern Hotel Aruba

It was so easy and we gelt like we were in our own home, sat at pool all alone, very quiet easy in and out!

Enjoyed our entire stay, clean, spacious and quiet!

Nice accommodation, very spacious, however the wind caused the awning on top of the roof create terrible noise at night and therefore bad sleep condition.

We had a great stay! Even though there are mutiple rooms we never saw the patio/pool area crowded. We had the pool suite and it was spacious with a kitchen and a nice seating area outside. The housekeeper was very nice and attentive and the check in/out process was seamless. It is on a great area close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. I would definitely be back abd recommend them 100%.

A nice little hotel

Very nice off beach location. Lovely pool and amenities. Safe and quiet neughborhood

10/10. What a little gem. Peaceful, quiet and accommodating. We had a short stay but just great. Tips - white appartment would be good for longer stays or if you want to eat in as it has full kitchen and kitchen plates, utensils etc. Having a car is ideal if you want to go around the island but not a deal breaker as walking to beach and restaurant options just over 10 mins. Mostly deal with the hosts by email and they have staff on business hrs to help with check in. If you are rigid and need a hotel with front desk…look elsewhere, but you would miss out on a special little place.

The property is quite the gem of a find. Photos are accurate.

Surprised my fiance for his 40th by staying at this really beautiful Airbnb like hotel. The grounds was clean, the area was quiet! We had the Moroccan room and it was so dope! My fiance was very happy and impressed. We were just 5 mins from the strip and every other convenient places we need to be. We truly enjoyed our stay. The hosts were lovely! Will stay here again in the future!

This was a fabulous place to stay. Our first trip to Aruba, and the walk to the beach was under 10 min. We were able to walk to a variety of restaurants on the water and in the tourist / hotel area just off the beach. Blanco greeted us when we arrived. The pool / patio area was very quiet ~ and they provide beach chairs and coolers for any excursions you may want to do. We would love to come back

Amazing spot. So easy to walk to beach and dining. We like to walk and didn’t need to rent a car.

This property was very clean, and was exactly what i'd hoped it would be. I'll be back for certain. I enjoyed the "lukewarm" tub which is very refreshing after a day in the sun.

No formal check-in, Bianca the housekeeper was extremely polite but unfortunately doesn't speak much english, phone translator solved that issue. If one doesn't have cellphone service in Aruba it is impossible to get a taxi or call anyone/make restaurant reservations.

Very nice and relaxing stay here.

This property was friendly, comfortable, and had perfect amenities. We enjoyed the neighborhood and the common spaces, including an excellent pool. It was very convenient to have amenities such as a coffee maker, toaster, fridge, and plenty of towels. The morning views on the lagoon with amazing birds, lovely sunrises, and nice breezes were my favorite part. We will plan our next trip around availability at this property!

Great place! Very happy will come back!

Our room was smallest unit, would have much appreciated a hot plate or toaster oven. In part our fault case maybe we booked too late. The quietness and location was awesome. We got to know the neighbours/ neighbourhood and was very comfortable. Bus stop very close which we did use.

Can not say enough about this hotel. It is not on the beach, but that was not a problem, as it was quiet at night, and never had to fight for a pool chair. We were in the White Apartment. It was well stocked, so we ate breakfast by the pool, enjoyed not having to rush out to get coffee, etc. Blanca was great. Place had chairs for beaches, which gave us the opportunity to explore a bit. We will definitely be back to this gem.

The accommodations were exactly as described. The common pool/garden/patio area was relaxing and well maintained. The staff housekeeper was wonderful.

It is a good clean guesthouse with a very helpful manager, Carlos. Only problem was, there wasn’t many restaurants or stores near the hotel so we had to walk or take a taxi to eat or shop, other than that it is a good place to stay, will stay there again.

If you are in to laid back, limited cleaning, no communication, no laundry on property, then this is for you. The location was convenient to Palm Beach. Pool was clean. Space was large enough. Nice shower. Biggest complaint was poor communication. No one really there to greet you. Find your room, key in the door. Good luck! Floors a little uneven so need to be careful. I would not return but there were several people there that had stayed before and understood the situation.

Clean, quiet, friendly. Nice neighborhood, few minute walk to beach. Offered beach chairs, towels, coolers, nice pool

I loved it here I felt like I had the whole place to myself including the pool. It was so close to the ocean and the casino. I was very pleased with my stay honestly they could charge more for this amazing place.

Very organized place. Liked the Espresso machine, ice machine.

Comfortable room, nice shared pool area and foyer, walking distance to hotels and beach, complimentary and really nice beach chairs and very good value for money. The area is a bit seedy and we ended up renting a car as it isn’t central.

Very clean and quiet. Short walk to restaurants

It is a very nice hotel however we had a few problems. The first room assigned had a terrible smell of epoxy paint, it was so strong that after being in there for a couple of hours I had a headache. I asked if there was another room we could move to and the housekeeper contacted the manager and fortunately they had one room available which was very nice and spacious. Everything would have been great in the new room however the bed was super hard and lopsided. Had a hard time sleeping for the remaining 3 nights. If it wasn't for those two situations I would happily give the hotel 4-5 stars since everything else was very nice and the housekeeper and host were very accommodating.

The house is beautiful and very clean and quiet. We had the Penthouse and it adds a lovely element of privacy. The apartment is well stocked and is HUGE in terms of space for a couple. We found a car to be very useful, if even if driving to the beach which is only a 10 minute walk away. Finally, great service from the owners and staff.

Great place. Carlos the manager is fantastic

Small property in quiet semi-residential area across the wetland area from the Marriott properties. Greeted by name on arrival by housekeeper who gave us our keys and a tour. Spacious room, comfy bed, nice bathroom, good wifi, a newer TV with usual streaming stuff and basic US cable channels. The pool area is very nice with plenty of shaded areas and a grill which we didn't use. Although I think the hotel was full, most guests spent the day elsewhere and came back in evening. Several return guests were there. Coffee from their complementary coffee bar was excellent. We had friends at the Marriott so walked over there every day using the path across the wetland, seemed very safe even at night. Maybe 5 minutes. Noord supermarket is 10 min walk for essentials like groceries, beer, wine liquor. A car was not necessary for us but would be good for longer stay to explore. Cabs are easy and not too expensive. If we come back to Aruba we would surely consider staying here again.

parking provided, very clean room and bathroom

Very relaxing stay. Two minutes drive to the Marriott and Ritz Carlton.

An absolute gem. Beautiful clean property. Very comfortable beds. Secluded and gorgeous pool area. Small number of units allowed for easy access to shared facilities (pool, barbecue, lounge chairs) and opportunities for one-to-one connections with other guests. Easy walking distance to groceries and Palm Beach. Carlos and Blanca are simply the best at what they do. No question this is where we will stay the next time we come.

Enjoyed my stay in the Moroccan room. It was a very quick walk to the Marriott properties to visit friends who were staying there. Also it was very easy to communicate with the property manager Carlos via text. They were extremely accommodating when I needed to add an additional night. They set me up in the new room and moved my bags for me. I would highly suggest this property and look forward to staying again.

Blanca was there to meet us and give us a tour of the property. It’s adorable and clean with amenities like ice water and coffee in the lounge area.

Very unique place that was on a quiet street but within walking distance of the beach and numerous restaurants

Second time here very nice peaceful place

super unique and cool place. white apartment was spatious with a big kitchen.

This was my first Solo trip so safety was my first concern. I walked to the beach several times while i was there and even walked back from a fireworks show at night and did not have one worry. The property was so inviting and relaxing. The pool was always clean and the water temp was perfect. I ate breakfast by the pool and laid out in the cabana every night and enjoyed the breeze. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Excellent location. Right across the street from the Ritz Carlton and the beautiful beach! Customer service was excellent. Loved the pool and how clean and quiet the place was Stayed in the 2 bedroom pool apartment. Very spacious, cold ac!

Excellent

Like others, I was a bit confused when I first arrived because there was no front desk to speak of, and a housekeeper showed me to my room. But it all worked out so trust the process! Great easy walk to the beaches and hanging out at the property itself was very pleasant. I was by myself and felt completely safe - wonderful stay!

Excellent place to stay off the beaten path. Walking distance to beach/ restaurants/ entertainment.

Very nice place to kick back and relax. It was walkable to where i needed to do business and walkable to the beach and more...

We really enjoyed the pool area and the walkable distance to restaurants and entertainment. The maintenance and cleaning of the property seems to be a lot for one person. I would get a different room than the loft suite as it is small and has difficult stairs with no railing to hold onto up to the loft bed. We knew there were steps, but felt they were slightly dangerous once we saw them in person. The bed in loft is also very uncomfortable and lumpy. That was disappointing to us. We got there and there was no microwave but the owner went out and got us one and that was very helpful as we planned to make breakfast in the room several days. Toaster oven worked great! We would stay again but would get a different room.

Pros: Good location, nice, spacious, updated room. The pool area was very nice with lots of seating. Comfortable bed. Cons: It is not a hotel as advertised, it's a guest house. Also there is no front desk as listed on expedia. Our cell does not work on the island so the only way we could communicate with the host was by email. We luckily saw a maid when we arrived or we would have not known how to get into our room. We were there for 5 days and never saw anyone except the maid, and only twice during our entire stay. Our room was only cleaned once. We had the pool room and there was a large awning that made a lot of noise in the wind, which is always in Aruba. Also our bathroom door did not close.

Pleasant experience!

There was a mouse in our hotel room and they did nothing to help us. No refund or even a mouse trap to try and attempt to help. Overall nice place besides that.

The Tropical Suite was superb!

Ok

My only issue was we did not have hot water as listed on the property when we booked the reservation

We really enjoyed this property. We booked the Moroccan Room, which was really cute. We arrived earlier than check in, and we were allowed to check in to the room early. The pool area was really cool and relaxed. The property was near a trail that took us right to the Marriott properties, which saved a lot of time walking. The property was also an 5-20 minute walk from most places in Noord and Palm beach areas. The air conditioning in the room was amazing as well. The property manager reached out to me during the stay to see how our stay was and if we had any issues. They had a list of restaurants and taxis with numbers to call if needed. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for something cheaper while still being close to everything.

Very well cared for property, felt like a labor of love. Generous management let us have our room several hours before check in time when all we asked for was a place to put our bags while we waited. An air conditioning problem was fixed within a half hour of reporting it. Really nice peaceful pool area, attractive neighborhood about 15 minutes walk to the Palm Beach action. We had the Tropical suite at the front of the property and we loved the decor and convenience, but perhaps we would try a different room with a little more view another time. If you dislike cookie cutter corporate properties, this is a great choice. You could get away without renting a car if you’re only interested in the Palm Beach area but I’d suggest renting a car to explore the other quieter beaches with terrific snorkeling.

The place was really nice. It is in walking distance to any food, etc.

Very nice room with an easy walk to the beach. Loved our stay!

Finally felt at home in Aruba. We had left a high rise resort where the service was less than stellar to stay at this gem where I wish we had stayed all along. Room was the size of a small house, clean, welcoming. The bed was like a cloud (something we hadn’t had all week) and the recommended list was so helpful. Also helping by allowing us to leave our bags before checking in and providing us with beach towels was a nice extra that made a huge difference in our day. Thanks Again.

This place is beautiful! Room was very comfy and so pretty.

This was an amazing property in a great location!

Overall a pleasant, quite relaxing location. Could walk to some area attractions/beach, though a quick drive was a little easier. Check in could have been clearer, would help if there was a sign on entry to call when you arrive so the housekeeper can come and show you to your room...

Great place ! Would definitely recommend and stay again!

We stayed in the Superior Suite and the actual suite was as advertised and very comfortable. The suite named Topical which we were assigned however did not have a garden view or patio as advertised. In fact the suite opened onto the front parking drive and road. To access the lovely pool area required going into the main hotel entrance and the through to the pool. We would stay again but book one of the pool suites.

Affordable, quiet gem in the middle of the expensive crazy hub of beaches, shops, restaurants, resorts and casinos. Located in a quiet neighborhood where you can see the casinos, but are not right next to them this adult only boutique is clean, beautiful and relaxing. Did I mention affordable?! I love this place, we would go back when we visit Aruba again.

Very nice house and room to stay in, shower did not work correctly it kept shutting off on me had to hold the knob out with one hand while washing with the other, could’ve used a dust mop to clean the floor daily, the coffee machine was nice could have had more creamers out to put in coffee. Lighting in the bathroom could’ve been a little better. Even though I did not use the backyard it looks beautiful. All in all a very nice place

We loved the room!! Such a beautiful spot. Highly recommend! We definitely will be back again

We absolutely loved the property! We stayed in the penthouse, and you get such a lovely view overlooking the beautiful pool area and the hotel strip. We walked to the beach daily, and it was a nice walk, but if you rent a car its like a min drive! The staff was so nice and kept everything clean with constant fresh new towels and linens. Loved, loved it here! :)

Amazing place to stay, we will be back!

I stayed here just for one night prior to flying back home. I wish I had more time to stay here and actually use the amazing pool and hot tub/outdoor space. It was a very boutique type of hotel with only 4 rooms, and we had a large room with an awesome bathroom. The check in experience was a bit odd. There was no front desk or main office, and had the cleaning lady not been there, I'm not sure if I would've known what room to enter. There was a small list of resources in the room for taxis, the host numbers, etc. And both taxi services past 8pm did not pick up, and ones of the hosts responded about an hour after we contacted them. Luckily we had another taxi service that was very helpful and they came to pick us up. If you don't have a car here, or taxi service, you're going to have to bike or walk where you need to go, which was frustrating. It was a cute stay, but the resources and check out were not so easy to manage.

We stayed in the Pool Suite for 4 nights. It was perfect for two of us. It has a small kitchen area and walk-out patio with dining table where you can eat outdoors. Blanca made sure our stay was comfortable and brought us clean towels each day. Place itself is beautiful and location was perfect. You can walk to the Palm Beach, and Arashi and Malmok were only about 2 to 5 minute drives. Arashi and Malmok were our favorite beaches as we love to snorkel. Mike and Amanda recommend great local places to eat. We loved Eduardo’s and Wacky Wahoo- two places we tried near by. We will be staying here again next time. Place is perfect for couples and families. They provide beach towels and chairs for guests to use. They also have couple of gas grills and beautiful outdoor eating area under the canopy.

Our room was very nicely appointed. The pool area was great. Had a very relaxing and quiet stay in the sun

Amazing place. We stayed here twice - at the beginning of our trip and at the end. I'm so glad we booked here both times. Great location, perfectly clean, modern and well decorated rooms. Lovely pool area.

Stayed here for a few days towards the end of our trip and I wish we stayed here the whole vacation! Super cute and cozy place. We stayed in the loft which was a really great room and very private. Very chill place, would definitely stay here again.

I loved my stay

Excellent stay! Would stay here again. It was our 10th time to Aruba- glad we stumbled across this property. Excellent service. Clean place. Great communication with owners. Would advise staying here.

Walking distance to the beaches, beautiful backyard and pool, beautiful room with spacious bathroom and super comfortable bed. And last and most important of all...great air conditioning!

the property made me feel like i was home. the wifi can be a bit better though.

Loved this place ! Would definitely recommend ! Very close to everything . My room was upgraded.It was beautiful!

The Modern hotel was amazing. Blanca was the best house manager ever. I would like to steal her. The property was decorated nicely and the location was close to everything we needed. I didn't have a rental car, but was still able to get around easily on foot. I am looking to book my next adventure at the modern hotel very soon. I will definitely recommend this place to other. Even though i selfishly want to keep it to myself so it doesnt get booked out.

I enjoyed my stay at Modern Hotel Aruba. Check in was easy and there is on property house keeping. You will need to request service on the weekends. It is a good choice if you aren't interested in staying at the big hotels and want a quiet environment. The location is convenient to the beach.

This is a great place to stay where you will be close to the beach ( not great for kitesurfing there- best to head to Boca Grandi) Mike the owner is on top of everything and Blanca is around day to day.Cosy and friendly

Well kept property. Immaculately clean and well maintained . Coffee station is nice. All appliances worked . Bed was comfortable . Love this hotel . Beach chairs available to use. Blanca ( and Pablo) was excellent host, and always helpful. Would love to stay here again.

A great place to stay that’s a 5 minute drive to everything!

The hosts were extremely accommodating and responsive from the second booking was completely. Room was good and backyard was extremely nice for relaxing and beautiful

This property has a wonderful location, near both the beach and resort hotels/casinos. It is peaceful, impeccably maintained, with gorgeous outdoor amenities. We are already talking about booking a spot here next year!

The room was in excellent condition, looked newly renovated and well maintained. We were 10min walk from the beach and restaurants, but we did have to take the short cut through the protected area between the hotel and the Marriott. The housekeeper and owners were really friendly and answered any questions we had. The property has about 6-7 rooms so there's no staff 24/7 however, the owners are really easy to contact and really responsive. We would definitely stay there again!

The property was clean quiet and convenient, easy access to the beach a five minute walk, and to the restaurants. Mike was very helpful and responded to questions very promptly! Bianka was very helpful and asked frequently if there was anything I needed.

I enjoyed this property very much it was stylish and very clean!

The hotel was very clean, the location very convenient, the staff helpful and nice. The backyard is AWESOME. My wife and I will definitely stay at Modern Hotel when we will be back in Aruba (and we will!!)

Beautiful property and clean. I felt safe and very comfortable. I was happy that the property manager provided all information for local transportation, food, shopping and activities. Amazing place to stay and not too far from the airport.

Location was not easy to the beach. It’s advertised across the street from the Marriott, but neglected to mention the busy road and water swamp to cross to get there. The place is clean. But no front desk and no house phone so your rolling the dice on getting timely responses from staff. I had the Deluxe room it was nice and house, but the garden view was a basic plant pot by a wall.

Modern Hotel Aruba was very clean, safe and well equipped. Close to beaches and Palm Beach attractions. Blanca the housekeeping/ attendant was very friendly and accommodating. Very nice stay.

Very nice accommodations, owner has a creative artistic vibe which was wonderful.

Great place to stay in Aruba if you are looking for a spacious accommodation where you can cook and relax!

Wonderful place to stay ! My sister and I stayed in the pool suite and we enjoyed everything about it especially our view of the background. It’s quiet and has a nice homey feel. I will be back again the ending of this year and will try another suite. This little gem of a hotel is a must stay !

We had a great time here, the house keeper was very friendly and the owners were very responsive when we had questions. We liked the pool area, it had lots of places to sit atop can grill if you felt like it. The room was modern but comforting.

Very nice place with a cosy backyard. The owner Mike is very nice and service oriented. Our room (deluxe) only had a minimal kitchenette and the equipment was sparse so we had to eat out every day. Other rooms seemed to be better equipped. There is a wetland between the house and the beach. It says in the description that you can take a shortcut but when we stayed this was not possible since it was filled with water. You had to take the road to the beach ( distance approx 1 km). The biggest issue was the problem with mosquitos. In late afternoon, evening and mornings you got a lot of bites and it was hard to use the pool area. We also had a lot of mosquitos in the room so you looked like you had chicken pox after a few days. Otherwise a nice hotel and good service.

The Modern Hotel Aruba is an extremely affordable solution to staying on a fairly expensive island. Check in was seamless as we were just immediately showed to our room. We had a late night inquiry on the first night which was promptly responded to. On the second day, we accidentally broke the key to the safe and the owner immediately had a locksmith come fix it for us. The kitchen and amenities in the “white room” are awesome if you love to cook, and this room includes a built in deep-fryer that we didn’t get to try. The pool area is just like the pictures. Our only minor complaints were that there isn’t on-site laundry (however there is only a short walk down the street) and the hot tub didn’t seem to get very hot. It’s a short walk to the beach, but we thought of that as a good way to get some steps in. All in all, you can’t beat the price, and I would highly recommend staying here.

Super nice place with lots of pretty plants. Comfortable bed and nice shower too.

Wow. Compared to the high rise resorts, we enjoyed this place SO much more. Bang for your buck.

Great boutique hotel very close to all hotel area. Super modern and clean.

Clean, comfortable, our favourite place we've stayed in aruba. Definitely recommend!
