Arubiana Inn(Arubiana Inn Hotel)

First, must make sure we are comparing apples to apples. This is not in on the water five-star resort. So with that expectation set: Pros: Very nice staff. Very clean . Price is right. Pool and courtyard area is grand. Lounge chairs very comfortable. Homemade breakfast available . ( Additional cost , reasonable.) Very close to Super Food grocery store . Courtyard is locked to the outside world at night. Free internet . ( Worked well) Cons: Aged and dated rooms. ( clean but cramped and old ) King Bed was not comfortable. ( Sorry Arubianna , just not good ) No hot water initially. ( resolved on its own quickly ) Cleaning product used left an overpowering odor in the room AND around the inn . ( Fabulouso anyone ) All in all think of this as a three star hotel back in the states. We stayed for 2 nights , 3 days. Check in process was odd. When I made the reservation I never got a confirmation email. I called back about a month later and they said yes it was on the books. I asked them for a reservation email and they said sure and I never got it then either. Oh well… There was no one at the front office and no instructions on how to get in even though we had reservations. I had to call three different numbers on a paper in the office window but when she did answer she was very friendly and told me my key was in an envelope in a plant in front of the building. The pool and courtyard area was simple but very clean. All the other guests left each day so we had the courtyard to ourselves. Lounge chairs were very nice and comfortable. They clean with a very strong smelling cleaning agent. We ended up buying air fresheners for the room to try to mask the odor. It just turned it into a weird Apple cinnamon Fabuloso. But all was very clean . Bed was sub-par. We would go back if there was a different bed and cleaning agent was modified . Those two things were very discouraging. Simple fixes .
