We enjoyed our stay so much. It is clean, comfortable, the breakfast is great and the garden area around the pool is beautiful. There was enough space to park our rental car inside and it was nice to be able to change the beach towels whenever it was necessary. Teska was such an incredibly nice host, her friendliness was always a pleasure. And the cat Lex was a lovely companion too, he spent nearly every morning and evening with us :D

Breakfast is included, the staff are super friendly and helpful, there’s free WiFi (which is great for travelers like myself), and it’s right across the street from a restaurant and close to other restaurants. There’s complimentary water, tea, & coffee upstairs in the lobby area and there’s a patio (this would’ve been really nice there was a view. This hotel isn’t in the best area so when you look out from the patio you see older buildings.) The room has a full length mirror, iron, and mini fridge. If you just want somewhere to sleep while you travel, this is it.

The property is relatively new and modern in terms of style. Very convenient next to the airport with a 1-minute walk to the check-ins. The rooms are nice, although the beds are a bit soft, but personal opinion. The pool and the pool area are really great to spend some time.

We had a lovely time at the Vistalmar villa during our dive trip to Aruba. We loved the convenience of the hotel being just a minute drive from the dive shop. After our morning dives, it was nice to relax in the comforts of the villa before heading out to explore the country. Angelique takes good care of the villa, keeping it stocked with small snacks and good coffee, and she provided us with helpful instructions and recommendations for places to go. She was kind enough to let us know about the Torch parade, which was a nice treat to be able to see. We liked the tranquility of being outside of the center and enjoyed relaxing on the private pier right along the water and watching the sunset. There's even a nice restaurant just a short walk down the road. We wanted to see the sights so we rented a car, and the villa was a great home base for easily reaching everything we wanted to see.

Very friendly & welcoming people from owner & manager to other guests. Nothing was too much trouble eg supplying a brighter light bulb in a lamp for reading. The rooms were spotlessly clean, the whole place is quirky & feels tropical.

Oranjestad has a few nice areas for visitors with restaurants, bars and shopping. The water is spectacular! It's easy to get around by taxi or bus. Aruba is very breezy and the sun is hot - so lots of high quality sunscreen is a necessity along with a secure hat. We enjoyed happy hour and small plates at Cuba's Cookin' in the Renaissance Marketplace - try the mojitos!

Most visitors are from the cruise ships, and spend a day here. We enjoyed & days of which 3 days were snorkeling on 3 different beaches (more and we would have been roasted by the sun). The town, and especially the museum is very interesting - very Dutch.
We didn't do much shopping, there didn't seem much (apart for Dutch food in the supermarket) that we couldn't have bought anywhere. Lots of kitchy souvenirs near the cruise terminal. If you like fresh fish, it is well worth taking the bus (or driving) to the "fish market" at Spanish Cove. It is just a couple of sheds on the waterfront where the fish are landed and sold by local small-scale fishermen, who will also clean and fillet for you.

I enjoyed staying right in Oranjestad because I had many options for dining out in the evening. I rented a car so I was able to go to either side of the island pretty easily from there. The Arubus station is right there so I think it would be fairly easy to take that up to Eagle beach if one didn't want to rent a car. I was in town for part of Carnival so it was fun to watch that also.
My photos are of Eagle Beach, Tres Trapi, and Baby Beach. Oranjestad restaurants: Pastechi House, Lucy's - mahi sandwich, West Deck - fish/shrimp, and Dutch Pancake House - Dutch Pancake.

The island is very easy to navigate by auto.
The island is very easy to navigate by auto. Many choices for food and shopping at the super market to grill out is a good way to save money for nights you don't desire to eat out. Sunsets are beautiful most every evening. Go to Boca Catalina snorkeling to see the Sea Turtles. If you want to feel young and vibrant go to Moomba Beach Club on Sunday evening.

careful with the taxi drivers - they dont pay attention to get you to the right destination!
also - very disappointed in Zara at the renaissance shops - its a cruise port and hotel and they wouldn't allow you in with a small suitcase - shame on them
did have a very nice dinner at wilamena - highly recommend!
Excellent location (10 - 15 mins walk from the center of Oranjestad) Excellent cleanliness, great pressure for water, air conditionning worked perfectly, same for the wifi. The beds are also very comfortable. The kitchen is small but it is doable for a few days. Excellent safety wise, little convenience located next door and more importantly, silent! Cat is also on lcation, along with a dog (not inside the unit) both friendly. Will recommend to people.
This is a beautiful place, just a 20 minute walk from the centre of Oranjestad. The hosts are wonderful people, very responsive to emails, and they really want you to have a good stay. They provided me, electronically, with a huge list of what to see and do in Aruba. My room was very clean, the wifi worked really well, and all the guests were very friendly. There is a central courtyard with a really nice swimming pool.
I liked nearly everything, especially sitting on the balcony I liked very much. Very spacious. Very quite inside, even if the outside might be quite noisy. Good aircondition. Very nice and helpful staff. Great location directly in the city between harbour and main bus station. Beaches (Surfside and Druif) still within walking distance (1.x km). So my negatives are only rather minor things.
The thing I liked the most was the location. Being in Aruba mostly necessitates renting a car, but Pista Q has a great location, and I was able to walk to most of downtown Oranjestad, meaning I was able to skip the expense of a rental car, at least for a few days.
Otherwise, it was very clean, the host was very nice, AC was good, and I feel like it's a great value.
Such a gem of a hotel. Peaceful and relaxing. Those saying not in a safe neighborhood I completely disagree. Never felt unsafe & was a solo female traveler. Yes you need a car but I always get a car when in Aruba.
The staff was extremely gracious. There are so many extras…beach gear..honor system drinks and snacks. Just lovely.
Clean, located in a local’s neighborhood. Going to the big chain hotels, IMHO, does not give you the opportunity to interface with locals. Price was very reasonable and place was clean. Friday nites, at the plaza just down the street, there was a band, seating and dancing. Also, there was a 1949 Restored Chevy!
The hosts are just incredible! Loved entire family, super friendly and kind. Always there if I needed anything.
Location of the apartment is very central in Oranjestad. Many restaurants and mini markets around.
Nothing luxury, very simple but pleasant place. Amazing value for money, especially in a high season.
Beautiful very new modernly decorated apartment above some shops. Small kitchen washer dryer and 4 beach chairs. 2 separate bathrooms and bedrooms. Facing the Oranjestad trolley track on the back of complex. Go visit the “Super food plaza” lots of great Dutch food items and try a “Broodje Kroket” at food court.
it is gated community with other apartments. it was clean and has everything you need for cooking and drinking. it is walking distance from surface side beach, downtown,and grocery store. you need to rent a car to go to the hotel area where all the fun is. Shelly was very nice and helpful.
Cozy charming hotel, large room, comfortable bed and pillows, nice pool in the garden, tasty breakfast, friendly staff, 3 min walking to the beach, vouchers for deck chairs and umbrellas on the beach, no insects in the room
I loved that Flamingo and Iguana Island was included. The staff was so nice and tried to accommodate any problems. The hotel was beautiful and not too far from the airport. Also everything was in walking distance.
