Pros:

I only stayed for two days before leaving for another Airbnb because the place was not good at all. When my friends arrived and saw the place, they immediately said there was no way they were staying there, so we all decided to leave. The problem is that I paid for all the nights in advance, and when I requested a refund for the unused nights, I was told there would be no refund. This made my trip extremely difficult because my funds were already low, and refusing to refund me put me in a tough situation. We will never stay there again. The airco use to come on n lock off at 7 so if I wanted to sleep late it was hot. The wanted to stay with others we don't know n if we lost anything the was not responsible. The also had only one bathroom for so much people. The had a pool but it was dirty most time. The doors was always open. The had only one fridge. We could not flush the toilet paper in toilet so the papers was just in a corner that would make it smell very very bad I like to bath with hot water and the did not had that.

Bad service
Pros:

Anything

Cons:

Hice una reservación y nunca me confirmaron antes con anticipación, hasta que yo escribí, lo cual fue tarde porque me negaron la entrada a Aruba, entonces no tienen buena comunicación con los que reservan desde la aplicación, ni siquiera escribiendo por Whatsapp...ellos debitaron el pago de mi tarjeta de crédito, pero nunca pude llegar y disfrutar mis vacaciones. Así que no recomiendo ni en lo más mínimo este hotel.

I made a reservation, but they never confirmed it in advance until I wrote to them. That was too late because they denied me entry to Aruba. So, they don't have good communication with those who book through the app, not even writing via WhatsApp. They debited my credit card, but I was never able to arrive and enjoy my vacation. So, I don't recommend this hotel in the slightest.

No recomiendo
Pros:

solo la piscina

Cons:

Un engaño cuando llegamos nos mostró una habitación con camarote con todo compartido. Pero ahí no más con pago de 60 dólares recién nos puso uno con baño propio. El trato de una señora muy humillante.
