We stayed here as part of a 2 day safari. Hotel was lovely, clean and the staff were friendly. Food was good and rooms nice but what was amazing about it was the view...we were overlooking aruba dam which was jam packed with wildlife. I don't think anything has been so amazing as taking a refreshing dip in the pool... More

Me and my three friends stayed here on our first night of a 2 night trip to Tsavo East and West. As per previous reviews the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and were more than happy to help you. By dinner time we felt as if we've been there a week as the staff treated us with such familiarity.... More

We stayed here on the first night of our Safari in Tsavo East & West and I have to say if I could give it 4.5* rather than 4, I would. Just walking into the reception area I spotted two elephants standing just the other side of the swimming pool fence! The welcome when we arrived was fantastic, managers and... More

I have recently returned from a week long stay at this lodge which included twice daily drives. The lodge was clean and comfortable and the food plentiful and good. The staff were so friendly and helpful, John who served our drinks, Evanders who attempted to teach us Swahili as well as many others who helped to make the holiday very... More

To find you needed to travel an extra 1.5 hours from the gate to the Lodge was not a disappointment. To drive through a landscape and see wildlife that you will never forget is just simply worth it. The staff at the Aruba were very special. Friendly, helpful and so obviously proud and in love with their country. The accommodation... More
