Perfect week in Aruba
We just returned from a perfect week in Aruba and once again, we used Aruba Villa Vacation Homes and stayed in the beautiful Terra del Sol property. As before, we contacted Annie from the car rental by the airport to let her know we'd arrived and she met us at the house we'd rented. The house was exactly as the pictures represented on the website, the showers powerful and hot; the kitchen well stocked with utensils (including the all important corkscrew and bottle openers!)
We initially had some troubles with the internet (which to be honest, I think was our fault) and Annie stayed with us to help us fix it and even brought a backup system just in case. Annie's amazing!! and we used the internet every day without fail.
The house is lovely, clean and uncluttered. The property backs on to a thin wedge of Arubian nature just before the golf course, and we woke early every morning to watch the sunrise from the outdoor seating area with coffees in hand. We really had the sense that it was just us and Aruba; the property is that quiet and private.
Terra del Sol is a gated community located in the north of the island, close to the prosperous Malmok area and public beaches. Everyone we met, from the gardeners to the security staff were exceptionally friendly and the community itself is beautifully landscaped.
As Terra del Sol is only 5 minutes or so from the highrise hotel area, we usually went there to enjoy the night life and shopping. We went to Oranjestad (15 minute drive) to visit old friends and to ride the new trolley (twice!) we'd been hearing so much about.
We had a lovely vacation, and I'm already planning our return! With many thanks to Annie and the rest of the team.
