A 63-room beachfront property near Oranjestad with direct Surfside Beach access, walking distance to downtown, and rates that consistently undercut the hotel zone. Honest value on an island where budget options are limited — ideal for travelers who prioritize location-and-beach over resort amenities.
Why We Chose It

The beach at Surfside connects to Eagle Beach with a short walk. Walking distance to downtown Oranjestad and its restaurants; the Arubus stops nearby for transport to Palm Beach.
