New Guide Offers Unique Places To Stay In Aruba

Jan. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Visitors to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba are invited to discover their own oasis of tranquillity with the launch of the first guide to apartments and villas.

Renowned for its four- and five-star hotels and glamorous resorts, Aruba also offers a wide range of unique places to stay, from small apartment complexes and private villas to bed and breakfast accommodation.

The new 36-page guide, aimed at the growing number of visitors to Aruba from the UK and elsewhere in Europe, covers more than 20 alternative accommodation options. These range from one-off properties to apartments complexes.

Examples include North Shore Cottage, a cute property on the edge of the island’s northern nature reserve and less than one kilometre from the beach. It consists of one bedroom with a queen size bed, a living room, large and modern kitchen, bathroom with shower (hot and cold water) and a loft upstairs that has two single beds and a toddler bed. Extra roll-away bed and baby crib are available upon request.

For those who need to stay in touch while on holiday, the upstairs loft offers a desk with a high speed internet PC set-up with a webcam, MSN and Skye. Free wireless internet is available throughout and around the cottage.

Other choices are the 13 ocean and garden view studios at Sunset Beach, with the sea just 100 feet from front doors. Or the 31 private villas overlooking 400m feet of white sand at the northern end of Palm Beach, one of the most popular on the island.

All entries to the new Aruba villas and apartment guide include individual websites and contact details for making bookings, as well as car rental options and other travel information.
