House of Mosaic Boutique Hotel Aruba

Great!

Fernando & Ian were amazing hosts. We really enjoyed them & their company. It's a very unique Hotel full of art & stories. Our bungalow however I found to be gloomy. The kitchen had no sponge and very watered down dish detergent. 1 plate & bowl with no paper towels or napkins. The bathroom was extremely dated with 1 tiny round mirror and really bad lighting also the sink was clogged so we had to brush our teeth and wash our faces in the kitchen. Good water pressure in the shower though. If this bungalow didn't lead to the most magical garden I would have switched properties. It's beautiful & at night if you can imagine it was even more magical!! That along with Fernando & Ian was this propertys saving grace for us. If your looking for something different this may be the stay for you.

This was absolutely a beautiful experience. You will find art everywhere you look in the hotel. From the entire outside to everything inside. Art is beautiful and is everywhere. If you want a true Aruba experience and not stay at the same ol type of place then House of Mosiac is the place for you. The owner Fernando is so welcoming and loving and truly cares about his hotel. And the bartender Ian is also an amazing person. Between the both of them i wanted for nothing. I truly recomend staying here. It's where I'll be when I return.

I enjoyed my stay at Mosaic. There was a minor issue in the early part of my trip but it was rectified and all was well. I stayed in the Narnia room, which gave me more than enough space. The drinks at the bar are unique and tasty. also want to call out the AC, kept my room nice and cold throughout my stay. Fernando and Ian are really cool people. I especially enjoyed celebrating my birthday with them and an amazing group of people. My sister also worked with Freya (amazing concierge) to arrange a personal birthday surprise. Overall a great find, and I plan to come back, highly recommended.

Tips:

Transportation: Rent a car at the airport, you'll need this to explore Aruba independently.. plus taxis add up. I made the mistake of renting after the fact and I feel like the price was nearly double.

Food: While the hotel provides food it requires a 24hr request in advance. I ate out everyday, exploring different places based on local recommendations, other travelers and Google. Recommendations: Dutch PancakeHouse, Perfert Shot Cafe, Wendy's (good last resort), Hanasaki Sushi Bar, L.G Smith's Steak & Chop House, Old Cunucu House, I didn't try but heard Zeerover is worth a visit.

Cost-- Aruba is expensive. Expect to pay more than what seems fair. Bring cash, you pay less since fees are not added like w/ credit.

Health-- If you don't know, the sun is no joke in Aruba, bring plenty of sunscreen, reapply frequently, especially at the beach and apply sun aftercare (e.g. Aloe).

Loblolly place to relax and very good atmosphere

Fernando, Ian & company were all very nice and accommodating - felt right at home & even though I was back and forth hanging out with family at another hotel, it was still nice to see them and have this spot to call home for a few days. Thanks again!

Fernando is my new BFF! The House of Mosaic is a masterpiece of artistic inspiration, peacefulness, and love. Everything about the villa and Fernando were tastefully coordinated to bring out what we needed, peace and a refreshing new start. Fernando thank you for being you, and making us remember who we are. You opened your home and gave us sanctuary. Thank you my new friend. See you again very soon!

This hotel is unique and designed for people looking for something different and sexy. Also, Fernando is a very friendly host.

I can’t begin to express what an amazing experience it was to stay at The House Mosaic Boutique. Fernando was an excellent host, very knowledgeable about the area, and made our stay here absolutely magical. This place has quite the unique charm, but also felt like a second home. 10/10 would recommend this place if you’re looking for an authentic tropical island experience!

First time in Aruba and I met the kindest, extravagant, and exciting staff ever. So very helpful with everything and making me feel safe and welcome. Will be coming back here. 10/10 would recommend.

Great place to stay…. Super nice and unique experience!!!

Nothing like it on the island , amazing hotel

Wonderful experience at this unique boutique hotel. Outgoing and friendly staff led by Fernando and personal attention to anything is available 24/7. The location was ideal for me that allowed me to explore the full island by foot and bike as far north as Arashi Beach and Baby Beach to the south including all the cities and neighborhoods within. Thank you Fernando!! Danki danki.

Beautiful art on display inside and outside in the Zen Garden. So relaxing and beautiful every part. The host is amazing. So friendly and helpful.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the House of Mosaic! We've never had a better or more responsive host than Fernando and everything was perfect. He went above and beyond so many times and has thought of everything to make your stay at the hotel and in Aruba as wonderful as possible. We had to both work during our trip and the beautiful courtyard and great connectivity made it really enjoyable. You're missing out by not staying here.

this is not a bright sunny space, but if you like something more eclectic - it may work for you. cable tv & internet was spotty, and it could benefit from some fresh air, but it was within walking distance to downtown, a couple of beaches and close to the parade. the host Fernando was also very nice

Fernando was great and the level of hospitality was second to none. If you’re looking for an authentic experience while in Aruba, I would highly recommend this property that’s off the beaten path and tucked away

Very unique place to stay if you're tired of the typical hotels and timeshares. Fernando is a wonderful host.
