Cariñas Studio Apartments

This is our second time in Aruba at this location. For us, it is important to stay in a clean place, close to the beach and public transportation, which is exactly what this place offers. Also, Marlone, who manages the location, is a special person, exactly what you need when you are away from home in a place you are about to discover.

I stayed at Cariñas for over a month and was so happy with my visit! Pam and Mike were terrific hosts and had answers to all of my questions and tips for the area, and Marlon was such a lovely and accommodating property manager. Cariñas is a quick, 7min walk away from Palm Beach and is in a safe neighborhood (I say this as a woman who does a lot of solo traveling who felt very comfortable walking home at night alone), and it's conveniently located near all of the Palm Beach restaurants and bars. Beach chairs and snorkel gear are provided. I highly recommend staying here!

We just returned from an amazing 8-night stay at Cariñas Studio Apartments in Noord, Aruba, and cannot recommend it highly enough. Nestled just a couple of blocks away from the bustling high-rise hotels and picturesque beaches, this two-bedroom bungalow provided the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility for our family of three. The location was ideal, placing us within a leisurely 10-15 minute walk from the nearest beach. While crossing the main road felt a little busy, it was an easy adjustment given the overall peacefulness of Aruba. A similar short walk brought us to the local supermarket, conveniently located amidst familiar American fast food outlets including Wendy's, McDonald's, and Domino's, providing an array of options for those moments when we felt like a quick bite. The area was remarkably quiet, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the tranquility of island life. The bungalow was well-equipped and meticulously maintained, providing everything we needed for our stay. An unexpected but delightful surprise was the array of beach supplies available for our use - from snorkeling gear and beach towels to cooler bags and beach chairs. It felt like we had our own personal beach picnic set, which greatly enriched our beach days. The air conditioning in both bedrooms and the living room proved invaluable in the Aruban heat and humidity. It ensured our utmost comfort throughout our stay, offering a pleasant retreat after long days of exploring and beaching. Our host was beyond helpful and consistently quick in responding to all our queries. Their attentive and accommodating nature greatly contributed to the seamless and enjoyable nature of our vacation. Our 12-year-old son, in particular, found the experience captivating and is eager to return. Overall, our stay at Cariñas Studio Apartments exceeded our expectations. This place truly made us feel at home in Aruba, providing us with an immersive, comfortable, and absolutely memorable vacation experience. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Apartment was very nice, everything we needed. Location was good. Small supermarket was close and the restaurant Pika's was very good. Hostess was extremely friendly and helpful. Air-condition was needed and worked fine.

The bungalow was just as it was presented in the pictures. Very clean and spacious and had all the amenities we needed. Very safe quiet neighborhood. Less than a 10 minute walk to the Palm Beach high rise area and beach. Special thanks to Marlon who was a wonderful hostess and very responsive!

Excellent stay, Marlon is the best host that you could have! Since arrival, very helpful and attentive to whatever you may need! Hotel close to the beach, described exactly as is! Highly recommended!
