Wonders Boutique Hotel

We had such a wonderful stay here. It is a peaceful and relaxing environment (especially the pool), and we loved the breakfast each morning. The staff went above and beyond to help us have a great trip, even ordering a birthday cake for my mom.

As stated in the description, it’s a bit far from the beach, though there’s a one-way shuttle. I recommend renting a car to make seeing the island easier.

Felt like you were staying in a large comfortable well appointed vacation home that had been there for generations. A beautiful lush garden with a small pool. We stayed in the King room that was large with a large patio.we walked into the town during the evenings and night and felt completely safe. The property was gated with indoor parking. We spent the previous week near palm beach in an Airbnb which was more hotel like and modern close to the tourist area and beaches. This place felt like you were part of the local life. Had breakfast twice served on our deck. Also had lunch at a café Cappuccino close but best fresh clean modern food filled with local families home for the holidays. For us for 11 days it was a good combo splitting our time in two places with a completely different feel.

Beds very firm didn’t bother me.

Wow! This place is a perfect 10 in all aspects for me. I've been fortunate to stay in some great places around the world but I think Wonders is now one of my favourites. The pool area with gardens is fantastic and great to sit in and enjoy nature - I was skeptical that the pictures might be too good to be true, but on the contrary, the place is even nicer in person! It was like sitting in paradise. The location of Wonders in Oranjestad is perfect and was a big reason why I booked here. It did not disappoint and in my opinion much better than being holed up in one of the big resorts on Eagle Beach or Palm Beach. Just a 10-15 minute walk down to the main part of Oranjestad which was really handy. There are also a few supermarkets a short distance away. My room was excellent, very well furnished, clean and tidy with everything I needed including air con and a fantastic shower - both essentials in such a hot place. Housekeeping was also fantastic and kept my room clean and refreshed. The WiFi is excellent too, there are a couple of access points to connect to depending on your room location. I took the option of having breakfast on a couple of days and that too was excellent, really great quality and served with friendliness - highly recommended and great choice. Wonders is a very safe and secure hotel, with locked gates and car park - this means I always had peace of mind and was able to park my rental car at the property at night. It really is an absolute gem in Oranjestad and made for an excellent holiday base in Aruba. There were days I was just as happy sitting by the pool than exploring one of Aruba's many fantastic beaches. As for the staff, I cannot praise them enough. They made me feel at home right from the check in and were always on hand to help with any questions I had including helpful tips or suggestions. I had a very delayed arrival in Aruba but the communication was always excellent which put me at ease. Thanks!

There is not a single thing I didn't like about Wonders. Everything is perfect. I suppose there can sometimes be a bit of barking at night from dogs in the area, but there are a lot of stray dogs in Aruba and just a part of life there.

Wonders Boutique Hotel is an excellent choice if you don't have to be directly on the beach in Aruba. Therefore, I recommend renting a car for your stay there. The neighborhood is quite ordinary, but when you step inside the front gate at Wonders, you will find yourself inside a beautiful garden sanctuary. The property is so peaceful and calming. The breakfasts served each morning provide a varied, delicious start to each day. The best and most important part of Wonders, however, is Teska, the young lady who manages the property. She is remarkably calm and friendly and eager to answer any questions you may have. She handles all requests efficiently and with eagerness to please. We loved our stay at Wonders.

This is a super comfortable and cozy place --- one of those large two-storey houses with plenty of space, natural light, a breeze coming through, tables by the garden and a swimming pool. The rooms are comfortable, and the breakfast options are amazing. On top of it, Teska was a great host, professional and yet personable. I wish I could have stayed longer.

The location is something to take into account. This is a quiet residential area what will require a 20min walk or so before you're in Oranjestad (which isn't necessarily a tremendous place, feeling a bit like Miami or some of its open-air shopping areas). Going to the beach will also require a car or a tour unless you brave 40-50min through unremarkable residential streets --- though the place does offer a "beach shuttle" drop-off twice every morning.

The staff are delightful - they made me feel incredibly welcome and safe as a solo traveller. The room was lovely and clean upon arrival. I arrived early and was given a key to the hotel and access to all of its amenities ahead of my room. They have guest books with fantastic information about the island. The pool is gorgeous! I also got to meet their new kitten, who provided lots of entertainment during my stay.

I have no dislikes for my stay. They are clear from the offset that breakfast is not included in the price but is wonderful. However, I would warn people about the mosquitos around the pool. Make sure you wear bug spray during the day as well as in the evenings.

This boutique hotel boasts only 11 rooms, ensuring that the owners can offer guests the undivided attention they need. The staff, particularly the owner's daughter, excels in managing this property and is exceptionally friendly. Lush tropical plants surround the premises, creating an ambiance akin to living in a jungle. Breakfast is available for an additional charge. I particularly relished the Dutch pancakes. The hotel offers beach chairs and beach bags for its guests. Although there is a shuttle service to nearby beaches, we did not utilize it. Parking is also available, and I believe it is free of charge.

This hotel is not situated on or near the beach. For convenience, it's recommended to rent a car as taxis in Aruba are quite expensive.

The staffs/owner are very friendly and kind. They gave us thorough information about the services at the hotel, the area, tips of how to drive around in Aruba, etc. The bed was very comfy and the room was clean when we arrived. I love the garden so much. I woke up every morning to the birds chirping and the sound of roosters. The tropical plants in the garden and all the sounds reminded me of my home country so much! I just love everything at Wonders Boutique. It's giving a calm and home-like vibe with the service you'd get at a hotel!

Beautiful place full of charm! Small property, with all the amenities and facilities you need for a wonderful, relaxing stay away from the crowds. Conveniently located 10 min by walking from downtown Oranjestad, it has a convenience store a couple blocks away. The beds are super comfortable and each room has its own designed, and small patio. Breakfast is additional but worth it as it is really tasty and well served. Everything was super clean and well organized, plus the room has many amenities for you to stay comfortably. Our hostess, Teska, was specially helpful and friendly and made sure all our requests were met, always with a nice greeting. I would definitely recommend this place and make sure to return in future trips to Aruba.

Nothing to dislike

From the moment I walked in, I felt like family. The staff greeted us with genuine warmth, instantly making us feel welcome. The room was spotless and they had thought of every little detail you could think of even beach bags, sunscreen, bug spray. The backyard is an absolute sanctuary—beautiful and tranquil. It's like they scooped up a slice of paradise and plonked it right there To sum it up: A+ for cleanliness, comfort, and all those thoughtful extras. If relaxation had an address, this hotel would be it. Would return in a heartbeat. Cheers to the dream team running this place!
