Couple's week long stay
Very nice complex. Loved the location and the pool. Sartini and Sanne were very responsive and helpful. This was a real plus since it was our first visit to Aruba. The "Yum Yum" discounts were much appreciated and well used, and the car rental set up by Sartini was great. We would definitely stay again.

Nice pleasant visit
Nice, clean apartment, which seemed a bit bigger than we expected based on the photos. Easy access and parking, and nice and quiet! Not much in easy walking distance so we were glad to have a rental car. Only very minor negative I could say was the lack of soap/shampoo in the bathroom. Not a big deal though, especially at this price point. Beach towels and chairs were provided, and I think I saw some snorkeling gear in the closet as well, though we had our own. On arrival we were also given a couple discount codes to a local supermarket, etc which was nice. The apartment complex had a nice pool but beware - it has dangerously slick tiles.

Fabulous Find!
We had an excellent 8 day stay at Wacamaya! Our host, Sartini was amazing! She answered questions promptly, met us at check-in and was available for any questions throughout our stay. We appreciated having beach chairs, coolers and towels available, the pool is lovely, the condo is exactly as it appears in the pictures. We can't wait to go back! Highly recommend!

Renting was very simple, but had not notice the funds were in US at first. But all well. We enjoyed being so close to our main event, kite boarding, it was 4 min by car. Communication with owner was also easy and was able to help out with everything.

Great spot to relax
We picked this place because Sartini is the manager and she’s the best. She is such a nice person and so helpful. The apartment was very comfortable and we loved the pool. Parking spaces are within a gated enclosure and secure. If I could improve one thing, it would be nice if the tv had access to streaming channels.

Loved it!
I stayed at Sartini’s place in Wacamaya condos for a week on my own. The condos are amazing and they’re a 5-minute drive to Arashi beach and Palm beach. The swimming pool is beautiful and is cleaned every morning. Sartini was a really great and helpful host - she offered to print some paperwork for me when I asked her about the nearest print shop. I also asked her if we could do an early checkin at 9.30AM which wasn’t an issue at all. Overall would recommend staying here - or in any of Sartini’s properties.

This one bedroom apartment had great WiFi, bed, air conditioning, TV and fridge. Sartini, the property manager was terrific; she even had 'grab bars" installed in the bath/shower for our safety. She was very thoughtful and addressed all our needs. We will be returning. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Too many issues, but most resolved.
Check in was great. Then we found problems. TV in bedroom didn't work, no hair dryer, no hot water in shower. Since it was Christmas, we did have to wait for the fixes. Got a brand new TV and hairdryer and the hot water was fixed. The shower faucet was defective and hard to regulate. Then we lost hot water again. Took another day to be fixed. For the last week, the internet went out. Last 2 days, the landline didn't work. I hated to keep bothering Santini. The unit was nice, but just too many problems.

Wonderful place to stay in Aruba
We had a wonderful 2 week in apartment 11B. When we arrived to the complex check in went very smoothly. Sartini is a wonderful host / manager, she insured that everything we needed was provided. The apartment was impeccably clean when we arrived. Kitchen was well stocked with items we would need. The apartment is in a great location to travel around the island. Not on the beach, but a easy 10 min drive to Arashi Beach, Was our favorite place to hang out on the beach. The apartment is upstairs center overlooking the pool, with a table and 2 chairs to have meals. The apartment was not updated as much as some of the others in the complex, but it had a heavenly comfortable bed with good A/C just above it. We slept very well every night. We would and will stay here again Charlie & Janet USA

Location is fantastic. Close to beaches and yet far enough away from the hubbub.
The apartment was very clean however really needs some updating. Not having warm water was not optimal. Furniture on the wonderful deck was very uncomfortable. Next time we would pay a little more to get a more modern unit. Sartini was wonderful and was always available to answer any questions and solve any problems.

Very nice, spacious apartment in a great location
Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay at the Wacamaya Apartments complex. The apartment was clean and spacious and included beach chairs and a cooler for our wide-ranging travels around the island. The pool area was well-maintained and quiet/private from the surrounding area. The building is close to a small supermarket and the Palm Beach / High Rise hotel area which has many restaurants, bars, casinos and other activities. The only problem we experienced during our trip was the lack of warm/hot water in our unit - which could not be fixed during our stay. Luckily, the weather was very warm, so cool showers were OK. But this is an issue that needs to be fixed to ensure the enjoyment of future renters.

Great Stay at Wacamaya 11B
Really enjoyed our six days at this apartment. It's not fancy but it's extremely comfortable and provided a great location for exploring Aruba. You will need a car, but it is a very short drive to many places, including Alto Vista chapel and the hiking/biking trails there, California lighthouse and the hiking trails along the north shore, and Arashi and Malmok beaches. Also two minutes from the Marriott and the Ritz if you want a nice dinner or a romantic place to watch the sunset. About 10 minutes to Linda's Pancakes (favorite breakfast spot). About 30 minutes from Arikok Park (another great place to hike). We found the bed comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Beach chairs and cooler provided which came in handy. There is also a wall safe which we appreciated. Good A/C and WiFi. The pool is lovely and the grounds are very well kept. The one drawback - no hot water. But we got used to it and when you've been hiking in the sun, a lukewarm shower feels pretty good.
