Wonders Boutique was a welcome surprise. We stayed at "Wonders" for two nights to end our 12 day stay in Aruba (our 4th trip to this beautiful, friendly Island) and enjoyed the quaintness of the hotel. Gaston welcomed us at his hotel on our 3 hour early arrival from a 1 week stay at La Cabana. The room wasn't quite ready which presented no problem as we were able to relax in the beautiful garden setting around the pool.

Very clean and very new. Everything works well because its nearly new. Only 10 months old as I write this.
LED lighting, WIFI and air conditioning works great. Plenty of hot water in the shower. New LG flat screen TV with 48 cable channels including ABC, NBC and CBS networks. Pool is sheltered on all four sides so if there are high winds on the beach, you can go to the pool.

When I booked , I originally booked for only 2 night but I wanted to extend an extra 3 and they assisted me to the best of their ability and accommodated me . I usually don’t like to stay at homes with the hosts on the property but this one was such a blessing .. they made me feel safe and as if I was home .

From the start of the stay until the end this was by far one of the coziest, most romantic, island/beach perfect hotel I've ever stayed at. Everything about the hotel makes you feel happy and like you're actually on a secluded island getaway.

This is a hidden gem, away from the bustling crowd, yet close enough to get to Palm beach and all the shops and restaurants on JR Irausquin.

Fabiola was an awesome host, and did everything she could to make our stay a memorable one. Our only "OK" rating is because we felt the pool was too small for the 5 units, there were only 6 lounge chairs for all guests, and only one area was reliably shaded around the pool. Also, the units aren't well insulated and so we could hear the other guests' voices resonating through the walls. This said, we'd go back to see Fabiola... in a jiffy: she's an amazing woman, and so likeable! The owner of...

Clean, happy studio/apartments fully equipped (especially if you travel as a family but also as a solo traveller on a budget). Staff ia friendly an helpful. The place is lliterally across the beach. You can even go barefoot if you wish. SuperMarket (Cosco type) is walking distance. Bus stop to take you to Arashi Beach is outside the hotel same for Downtown. I strongly recommend and i definately rebooking it

Had a very nice time. This location was new with construction still going on. But peace was not disturbed. Had a few issues at check-in , but management was very helpful and resolved the issues in a timely fashion. For an up and coming property I will be looking for this same property in other locations.

The beach was great and it was easy to relax and enjoy the whole resort. The staff in the restaurants and bar were friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed the Christmas Mass. I would not hesitate to return on my next trip to Aruba.

This was our second time visiting JOIA and it was an excellent stay like the first time, which is why we returned. We had a minor inconvenience on our third day but one of the managers Mariana went above and beyond to rectify the situation. We were truly appreciative and thankful for the level of service she provided.

The place is nice and very clean. The rooms are cleaned and beds made up every day. Security is a pro. The personnel is very kind and generous. The pool is great. I will definitely come back again.

We really enjoyed this property. We booked the Moroccan Room, which was really cute. We arrived earlier than check in, and we were allowed to check in to the room early. The pool area was really cool and relaxed. The property was near a trail that took us right to the Marriott properties, which saved a lot of time walking. The property was also an 5-20 minute walk from most places in Noord and Palm beach areas. The air conditioning in the room was amazing as well. The property manager reached...

We chose Bubali Bliss for our "romantic getaway" and it was perfect. Having done the all inclusive bit before, we were looking for something way quieter, more romantic, and with a local, island feel. Bubali Bliss Studios fit the bill perfectly. Located right next to a Superfood, we were able to buy snacks and drinks to enjoy in our room-a nice touch for lazy mornings over coffee, something we never get to enjoy at home!
