The villa has 4 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and king size beds. You also have an extra tower room which is only accessible via the master bedroom with two singles, so you have to share the master bathroom. So in total there are 5 bedrooms for 10 guests in total. Two second floor bedrooms have also access to the shaded roof terrace offering beautiful sunset views.

Notes;
Prices are based on total of guests, each additional guest above 4 guests is $25 USD per guest per night extra (children up to 2 years stay free of charge). We have this price setting so we can offer very competitive prices for smaller groups as well.

You will have an electricity and water allowance of 50 USD per day. The allowance is sufficient when using the utilities consciously. For example shut off the AC’s when you not using or not at home. We will monitor the usage as well and when you are using too much we will warn you first so you can adjust your usage.

We try to give you as much as privacy and rest during your stay but we are always close by to assist you and try to solve any issues you might have as quickly as possible.

Even though the villa is situated close to the beach and the High Rise Area, we do recommend renting a car for sightseeing, exploring other beaches and for large groceries.

Awesome location!
We really enjoyed our stay at Merlot Villas. The price for amount of space and location was great. The main concern was the outside area desperately needs updating. The chaise lounge chairs were very old and the outdoor patio area wasn't really clean. Also the outdoor patio cushions were severely worn and faded. It was still an awesome experience but a few upgrades would make it so much nicer. The owner/staff was super responsive. The outdoor grill and private pool were great amenities. Loved the upstairs terrace off of each bedroom. Overall all we enjoyed the accommodations and would recommend for a large group on a budget. Far more affordable than any hotel.

Excellent Stay Near the Beach
The entire process for selecting, payment and check in/check out was great. No issues! We ended up deciding, after initially paying to stay an extra few nights and they were able to accommodate us which we are forever grateful. There was more than enough space, towels (if there was access to all the rooms) wash cloths, etc so we all felt comfortable. The pool was cleaned often as well. There are more than enough utensils and kitchenware for cooking, if you wish. The beds were mostly comfortable but considering the only time they were used was for sleeping, it’s something you can look over. We didn’t spend much of our time in the villa. Definitely worth it, we plan to rent here again next year for another trip! Thanks again!!

Not Quite What We Expected
Three couples rented this house from March 24 – April 1, 2018. Overall the house provided the six of us with a pleasant place to stay. The beds were quite comfortable; a full washer and dryer were onsite; the gated community gave an extract sense of security even though we never felt unsafe; it was a good location for walking to the beach; and driving to purchase food supplies, etc was a quick trip. We do feel that some improvements would enhance the stay of anyone renting this home. Due to the wonderful weather of Aruba, it would have been nice if there had been outdoor furniture with cushions that would have allowed us to relax and enjoy the weather anytime during the day or evening. The wooden chairs around the table, although good for using when eating outside, they were quite uncomfortable to sit on for any length of time. Although the home indicates a charcoal barbeque, we were not expecting a fireplace-like barbeque to cook with. Like most fireplaces, a lot of the heat was lost up the chimney and therefore, it took a long time for food to cook. As well, there is no oven in the kitchen, only a stove top. This was a big disappointment for us as we love to cook. Amenities on the website list a stove and in Canada, this typically includes an oven. We recognize that terminology differs around the world and we are now more aware of what to ask for. As mentioned earlier, the beds were comfortable but lacked complete bedding. Ideally a bedspread would have been nice to give the rooms a finished look and to provide extra covers if needed. A blanket would also have been nice to have. We knew from the website only one bath towel per person was provided but this is not enough for average users, particularly for three women. Also, there is only one hair dryer yet four full bathrooms. This was very inconvenient when we were getting ready to go out. Two of the three bathrooms we used had problems with the showerhead. They are not in good working order and if not careful, water would spray out of the shower and onto the floor. Hot water was also limited. If you were the first to shower, you had a hot shower; otherwise, it was more luke-warm to warm, which on some days, was refreshing after a day in the sun. The couches in the house are in need of replacement. Not only are they quite uncomfortable, but they are showing significant signs of use. For the price we paid for our stay. we felt a three star is the best we can provide.
