Paradise Found!
We really enjoyed our stay at Casalina Gardens Apartments. We stayed in the studio apartment with the outdoor kitchen. It was perfect for my husband and I. The bedroom and bathroom had a locked door even though the kitchen was open to the rest of the facility. The entire facility (apartments, garden, pool) is behind a locked gate, so we felt very safe in the facility. There are four parking spaces available between on-road and driveway parking in front of the facility.
Once you enter through the gate which is on the left side of the main house, the facility is focused on the backyard of the main house. 2-3 apartments are part of the main house. There is also another building in the backyard behind the main house. This building contains another 2-3 apartments, including our studio. We had to walk through the garden to access the back building -- this was my favorite part! I loved the flowers and palm trees.
The bed in our studio was comfortable and clean. I was very impressed with the bathroom - it was huge for a studio and clean/modern. Both shower and beach towels were provided. There was a drying rack outside that we used to dry our beach towels and bathing suits.
The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking dishes/utensils, etc. There is a grocery store just around the corner from the apartments where we enjoyed fresh juices and baked bread.
Nataly was very helpful during our stay. She checked in almost daily to make sure we had what we needed. We appreciated her attention and ever present smile! She helped us when we left by taking out the trash and allowing us to leave unused food in the refrigerator. Note that we had to pay her a cleaning fee in cash before we left.
The garden is so lush and cool to sit and relax in. The breeze in Aruba is constant and while we did use the air conditioner in the bedroom to sleep, the area was very cool due to the shade from the garden. We enjoyed seeing the iguana lizards running around the garden too. Truly a wonderful paradise!
The location of the apartments was perfect for our stay. The neighborhood was quiet, but close to restaurants, hotels and activities. Driving in Aruba is very easy. The island is small and manageable to get around.
We can't wait to go back!!
