1st time in Aruba

1st time in Aruba and was a little nervous about doing it “on our own.” Turned out to be a great decision. The condo is secure and residents are friendly and the grounds are kept clean. Pool is a great beach relief with plenty of chairs and lounges. 2 outside covered grills to use at your pleasure. We personally saved a ton of cash grilling out dinner most nights. Jos was a great host and our stay in his condo was stress free. Car is required

Lock Box Fiasco

Condo, neat, clean and decorated nicely. Items of concern... 1) The key box is a nightmare. It sticks and after several attempts had to ask for help from someone else staying in the area. Then the door handle must be vertical in order to lock the doors. Need to identify which key goes to front/back door. Could not reopen the key box to lock the front door that opens to pool area. 2) Toilet should have a easier flush to accommodate elderly who don't have the strength to push in the square flush w/o having to use both hands, 3) Tried to reach out to Yanil through "WhatsApp" per the instructions in the booklet, but was never able to connect. 4) The TV in living room area never came on. 5) The ceiling light before bathroom needs to be much brighter. 6) Should have a rug in the entrances so someone does not slip and fall if they are walking around in their bare feet from the pool area. 7) Should invest in a 10X mirror that women can use while applying makeup, the mirror above the sink does not help. 8) Need to purchase a standard measuring cup for liquid, the white scoop measure cups in the top drawer does not suffice, nor do you have enough. 9) Should provide a few items for customers, salt and pepper, butter, mayo, mustard and ketchup so each customer does not need to purchase these items for one week stay. 10) Overall I rated this a 4*, however, the owner needs to invest and fix some of the issues at hand. I left one day early due to health issues. Thank you.

Read entirely then make your decision

This might have been a case of bad luck, sharing so you can make a decision for yourself. Communication with owner prior to arrival was smooth and timely. Upon arrival there was a strong foul odor in the unit. Looked over unit for old trash and ran water into drains suspecting sewer gas. After airing out the smell was still strong and nauseating. Decided to find other lodging and messaged owner. He responded several hours later saying he was in Netherlands and we should have contacted housekeeper directly per check in instructions, he had reached out to housekeeper but due to high season it might be next day before hearing back. fast forward 24 hours owner messaged back that his niece stopped by unit and noticed faint smell. I asked for full refund considering we needed to secure lodging during high season with limited availability. Owner messaged back next day the smell was gone and offered half refund of 5 day stay. Based on our experience you can decide if the condo is right for you.

Communication was excellent. Everything was clean, comfortable and facility was well maintained. Great to be able to use the grills provided and enjoy the outdoor amenities. Close to everything yet still be able to enjoy quiet time. Enjoyed use of chairs for the beach and cooler. Complex was extremely friendly. AC worked amazing after a day in the beautiful sun. would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful stay at Wacamaya!

3rd year consecutively staying at Wacamaya 1b. Love the location - short drive to some of the best beaches (two beach chairs got a lot of use). Convenience is key with gated parking ~10 feet from the front door and beautiful courtyard/pool directly outside the back door. A nice little market across the street and Superfoods 10 minutes away make for an economical week utilizing the well appointed kitchen. Communication with owner Jos is fantastic and will remove any hesitation about going the VRBO route for vacation. Enjoy a luxury stay at a fraction of the cost of the big resorts! Jim

Perfect Location!

Don’t let this hidden gem pass you by. Wacamaya Condos are located in the perfect spot. This little gated community was super cute. So easy to get around. You are literally minutes to the beach via car. Which I highly recommend. It’s a breeze driving on the island. Jos was GREAT to work with. So very communicative and always was quick to respond. The condo was exactly as pictured. It was neat & clean. The pool area was great, always so quiet. There were two grills available for use, but we did not use them. Often times we had the pool to ourselves. I would highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay here again. The Market across the street was super convenient. And if you do stay here, when you take a right out of the parking lot, 2miles down the road is Noord Pastry. A must!

Wacamaya was just what we were looking for. The owner provided many helpful suggestions for shopping, restraunts and other things to do.

Another great stay at Wacamaya

Perfect place to stay, relax, and savor all the positives of Aruba and avoid the negatives. The beach chairs really give you the freedom of going wherever you want and avoid the resort hassle of commandeering a palapa early. The market across the street was surprisingly fair and offered good quality produce. Beautiful pool made for a peaceful atmosphere. Love the gated parking lot
