We loved that it was small, quiet, and far enough away from the big hotels to not be crowded, but close enough to walk to the beach and restaurants. The owners, Andrus and Beja, are incredibly sweet and very helpful. There’s no question we’ll stay there again when we return.

The owners make you feel at home immediately. They give recommendations and know the island well. Very cute and quaint place to stay. All 4 room would often meet in the common area for coffee in the morning and share our previous day. The rooms were set up well with a small kitchen area. They have a book library in the common area. Plenty of places to sit, lounge and relax.walking distance to grocery store , two amazing restaurants , and maybe 10 min walk to the marriot beach. I'm so happy I stumbled on this boutique hotel.

We absolutely LOVED staying here in this wonderful location. The pool was just outside our door. We enjoyed a fab little kitchen. There’s a path to cross the street to the beach at the Marriott. This is also near the Ritz Carlton. Look and compare. My wife won $150.00 in the Marriott Casino. Near best beaches and sea turtles at Tres Trapi and California Lighthouse……Perfect for drone and photos at sunset. They are so gracious and helpful. We stayed 10 days.

When we arrived at the hotel, Tim—our host—was already there, warmly waiting to welcome us. It was really late, and after a failed attempt to find food, we were about to give up and head to bed when Tim and his wife, Joan, generously offered us some homemade food. From day one, they were incredibly kind—offering us rides when transportation was tricky, checking in on us throughout the week, and making sure our stay went smoothly. It truly felt like they were our grandparents for the week in the best way. On our last day, they even drove us to the airport and gave us the sweetest goodbye. It was the first time my friend and I had ever traveled, and we both agreed that staying at this hotel—and having Tim and Joan as our hosts—was an unforgettable experience.

Tudo organizado bom muito amor e carinho. Todo dia um mino para acompanhar o cafezinho servido como cortesia. Cadeiras de praia (que também pode levar para a praia) em área de lazer linda compõem o charme desse hotel aconchegante. Muito obrigada pela estadia.

You will not regret staying at this place! I have stayed at Ritz, Four Season and St Regis all over the world. Never once I have experienced this kind hospitality. The couple who owns the place Andras and Beha are beyong amazing. I had a small hiccup coming to Aruba due to flight delay. I had a dinner with my friends before checking in. I distinctly remember they messaged me if everything is was alright. They even said waved goodbye as a drive off their property. If you are going to Aruba, you should definitely stay at this boutique hotel. You will not regret it. Max of 10 guest for this place, so its very quiet. Bed is made everyday. Rooms are intentionally decorated with most of your needs.

The Karibu was absolutely wonderful!! From the time we arrived until we left, we felt like family. The Hotel was beautiful and so peaceful. Me and my wife love to sit outside. We did every night by the pool, and you could hear the ocean and feel the cool breeze. Andras welcomed us with a delicious rum coconut. It was so good in fact we went and bought some coconut rum. The rooms were spotless and well decorated. You could walk to Palm Beach in about 8 minutes, but we had rented a car and it being so hot out we just decided to drive. There is nothing bad I can say about this Motel. Just that I did not want to leave and cannot wait to return. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay Andras and Beja.

I stayed at the Karibu with my mother and we loved the service. Andras and Beja made us feel like home. A very well maintained property. Fairly close to restaurants and tourist spots. Only con is that most tours will not pick up there but will pick you up 2 minutes away from there. Andras and Beja will also guide you and make themselves available to drop you off or pick you up at your request and depending on their schedule. They are very nice and helpful! I loved it there.
