Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Aruba

We loved our stay here and look forward to coming back. The condo is very nice and well maintained inside. On check in our room was very clean and had a good supply of paper products, dish soap, a sponge and a starter pack of laundry and dishwasher detergent and dryer sheets. Showers are strong and hot. We had plenty of room for our family of four. The view is beautiful from the balcony. Eagle beach is a10 minute walk on the bike/walking path out front. There is a small beach in front of the condo that has some huts and chairs for rent. The pools on property were crystal clear and the perfect temperature. We loved swimming at night and were often the only people at the pool. The grounds are well kept and always clean. The staff checking us in was kind and gave us good tips for the island. We received messages prior to our arrival, confirming our reservation and letting us know what numbers to call/text if we needed anything during our stay. The location of the hotel is great because it’s between 2 busy beaches but is quiet with an amazing view of the ocean and the sunsets are not to be missed. Don’t hesitate to stay here! We can’t wait to come back.

A fantastic place to stay. Definitely do a chefs tasting at Infini! Pools were great. Poolside drinks were fabulous.

Amazing view from the balcony and living room area. Condo was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We booked a 3 bedroom condo and loved that there were 3 full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and washer and dryer in the unit. Great pools on site as well as free parking. The front desk and security staff are very nice and helpful. Eagle Beach and Palm Beach are within walking distance but it is a little bit of a far walk if you are carrying beach gear. These condos are located in a more quiet area which we enjoyed. We rented a car so that we could check out multiple beaches in Aruba. Parking was available at all the beaches we visited. Our condo included a few beach chairs. Also, there are a few businesses on the island that will deliver beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and other gear that you can rent for the duration of your stay. We found this to be much easier and more affordable than the options of renting an umbrella or chair at each of the beaches or having to get to the beach super early to try to get a palapa. There are many restaurant options in Eagle and Palm Beach and this condo is close to the grocery store. Loved our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Blue Residence was clean, safe, quiet, and in a great location. The property has three well maintained pools and the grounds are well kept. The office manager, Ursula, was extremely professional, courteous, friendly, and made us feel quite at home. There were maintenance men on call and they handled minor issues quickly. There’s a beach across the street; you can pay for lounge chairs that don’t belong to Embassy Suites, for $10 a day from the sports people, but the chickees/ palapas, are free. Palm Beach and Eagle Beach are near by too. The Super Market is very close. I would highly recommend Blue Residence for anyone visiting Aruba because it’s in a convenient location, it’s safe, clean, quiet, and you’ll feel like it’s your home away from home.

The pools were perfect & the weight/exercise/running room was really all that a gymgoer will need. The property is wonderfully maintained & the apartment was comfortable, cool, & stocked with the basics. We like to walk & found that the grocery store & restaurant dining options were available within a-mile-or-so. There is no specific beach access, that would have been nice to have. There is supposedly a small dining/food on-site but we never saw it. The Divi Pheonix (across the road) has a convenience store.

This business (boutique hotel, high end restaurant and a fashion boutique) is a hidden gem in the Carribean. My daughter and I had an amazing 12 day stay in the bigger pool suite (room 10) in July. Amazing experience enhanced by professionalism, very wam hospitality and kindness. Comfortable, clean and chic hotel room. Stunning guest pool downstairs and a romantic smaller private pool accessed from the pool suite upstairs. The staff provided exceptional service with grace and a smile. Owner Eva is a visionary with an immense talent, immecable taste in fashion and decor and deep knowledge of how to run a high end boutique hotel business and restaurant. Special thanks to GM Leonicita. She is very professional, engaging, kind, smiley and attentive. No request was too big or too small. I loved our conversations over breakfast each morning. A lifetime of memories was created. Many thanks to everyone at Ocean Z! Everyone made us feel welcome - like we were at home - and the food and cocktails/drinks at the restaurant were absolutely amazing! We will be back!

My wife and I just stayed at the ocean z hotel in Aruba. We were in suite 11 with an amazing view of the ocean. This hotel is beautiful. Very clean, quiet and away from the busy tourist areas. But if you want to go there it's only a 5 min drive up the road. The beach is a 3 min drive or 10 min walk. What sets this place apart by far is the staff. The staff is awesome. So attentive and friendly. Especially Maria. She took care of whatever we needed at any time. They had breakfast for us every morning and having dinner in their restaurant at night was a great experience. The only negative I can say is that the jets in our private pool were broke and could not be fixed until our last day. Small price to pay for how amazing everything was. I highly recommend and will absolutely stay there again. We loved it.

Everything about this hotel was perfect for us. We had a room with the private infinity pool on our balcony. Amazing view, the pool was great. Staff was beyond kind and would offer to help with anything before you'd even think about needing help. Breakfast every morning was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Something to look forward to every morning. They heard us talking about going down to the beach during breakfast, and brought us a cooler with ice and 2 beach chairs, and we didnt even ask! It was perfect. Dinner is also very good. Can't say enough good things about this hotel. This was our first trip to Aruba, and we plan on coming back. When we do, I won't even bother looking at another hotel. This place is it for us. Special thank you to Maria and Herman for all they do!

We just had an absolutely fantastic visit to Aruba (Aug 5-10, 2024). Ocean Z is a boutique and very small hotel. I am providing the good and the room for improvement items. Good: - Amazingly good staff; very attentive and very prompt - Very close to Tres Tapes (snorkeling for turtles) - Quiet and away from the "party zone" of Aruba (we loved that) Room for improvement: - We had 2 pool suites; bathrooms were awesome. However you literally can't use the toilet from 7:30am - 11am because it's so hot. Maybe a screen should be put in the bathroom that can be drawn down - The lack of privacy when using the pool or stepping out of the rooms and the dining room is right across is very strange - Modify breakfast menu once every couple of weeks or every month? Even though we loved our stay, the staff, etc., we would not go back to Ocean Z - It's too expensive for what it offers - One day there was a party which took over the entire hotel and we were informed about it, the day off. We could not even park our car in the small parking lot We understand it's a small hotel (7-8 rooms), but when one is paying ~$500/room/night, one does expect a little bit more

The service here is absolutely exceptional. Each person at Ocean Z knew our names, were eager and happy to help with anything at all. The food was excellent, the pool was really nice, and location is superb, if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing, nature-first experience. We has a delicious fresh breakfast each morning, walked to the beach, snorkeled with fish and sea turtles (!!) and came back to relax in the pool, have a glass of wine on our balcony, etc. The only reasons we didn't give this 5 stars is because our room (the mini master suite) was much smaller than anticipated, and unfortunately there was a sewage smell/situation which was unpleasant for a full 24 hours of our time here. Other than that, the owners, mgmt, folks in service, etc. were phenomenal!

Our stay was incredible and peaceful, truly exceeding our expectations. The host was very attentive, checking in to see if we were okay, ensuring that we were enjoying ourselves, and ready to answer any questions we had. The staff were helpful and kind, making our experience all the more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we’re already looking forward to booking another stay in the future. I highly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a relaxing retreat!

I loved that the property is located in a gated community. It was a beautiful home plenty of sun, plenty of privacy, close to the beaches, close to a market, open concept and layout.

Location of the property was very good for snorkeling and some great beaches.

Beautifully renovated and very clean space. The apartment was also very spacious.

The apartment was extremely clean. Easily accessible entry. Very comfortable.

Great apartment for a 5 night stay. Very large for two people, could easily sleep four. Fantastic location, off the main strip, 10 minutes walking to everything, supermarket ‘around the corner’. Front and back areas for relaxing, pool perfect. My apartment had a large private terrace but very hot so definitely needs a fan - that is the only criticism. Judy and Benjamin (hosts) were lovely people, always checking to make sure we had everything we needed. Everything was spotless and the bed was so comfortable. Parking right outside. I would stay here again.

The owner and staff were so lovely and accommodating! The property is like a serene oasis with a lovely new pool (2024) which was a surprise as it wasn't there when we first booked. The property is off the busy streets, but an easy ten minute walk to plenty of dining options and excellent beaches and sunsets! Quiet, quant and everything you need for a vacation rental! Thank you for having us!

Central, close to Palm Beach though I had a rental car and was driving to different beaches. Room is nice, quiet and AC works great. Outdoor kitchen and dining area has everything you need. The garden and pool area is the best part of relaxing/lounging. Such beautiful plants and flowers. Many lounge chairs and one hammock per unit.

Nice enough room came with a great little outdoor kitchen. Had everything we needed clean room friendly staff. The small pool was a nice Plus. The only negative was the bed was very firm and pillows weren't amazing

A nice, clean, & quiet place with a beautiful courtyard/pool area. Walkable distance to the beach. Judy, the manager was very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Aruba.

The best service I have had in my life! Leoncita and everybody else is making sure that you have the best stay, always available and helping, making sure that everything is great, comfortable and easy! I appreciate the team so much! This was a beautiful hotel and everything was perfect! Thank you again!!

From the moment we stepped out of the Taxi...excellent service...friendly helpful staff...loved the ambiance and the vibe of the boutique Hotel...at dinner the restaurant was happening...and from the view and the food and staff...EXCELLENT!! We can't wait to return..

One of a kind, fantastic boutique hotel, Maria was the best concierge , so nice and considerate!

Breakfast was perfect, with lots of options. Maria is exceptional... She made our stay truly special.

Breakfast was lovely! The waitress made the experience very personable which was amazing. The location was ideal for all our plans, and we were able to park our rental car right outside. Staff in general were really nice and they made an effort to make us feel welcome.

The house is just like the images shown online, located in a amazingly quiet neighborhood. The host Monica was extremely helpful and replied immediately when I had any question. The house is spacious and has everything you need, the pool is perfect to dip in when is hot. All amenities available, loved the fully A/C home as well, as Aruba is sometimes pretty hot during the day. The beds are super comfy to sleep in and bonus points for the hot water in the shower. For a family visit, this house is simply great. I loved everything about the house. Best regards Monica from, Jose & Frank (Copenhagen).

The house Is exactly as in the photos. Everything was great and clean at our arrival. Monica & Joe were always present and available for any doubt. We would absolutely recommend this villa for your stay!

everything as on a pictures. excellent location, center of the island close to everything. host is very attentive and easy to communicate.

The location was nice and quiet and very close to everything

This is the most amazing little hotel on the Aruba island. The room was invitingly decorated, had a great bathroom, a small kitchen area with a large refrigerator, silverware, dishes and glasses. A big closet with hangers to hold everything we had packed and a wall safe to hold our money, passports and jewelry. The bed was queen size comfortable. The very crown of the room was the balcony with a breathless view of the ocean and the most memorable sunsets. We were pampered with a different breakfast every morning, served on the balcony any time we chose between 6:30 to 10:00 AM. All the office gals were sweet and accommodating and spoiled my husband with a surprise birthday cake at arrival. We'll be back next year!!!

Spacious and clean room with closet, toiletries, safe box, comfortable bed. Breakfast is delicious, they will serve it everyday at the time is convenient for you in the balcony with an incredible ocean view. Staff is friendly and always happy to help. They have beach towels and beach chairs for free, quiet beach is just in front of the hotel. Also, you will have access to a few steps beach club with no cost beach chairs. Sunsets are wonderful there from the beach or your room balcony. Downtown is about 20 walking and you can take buses (10A or 10B) from there to eagle beach or palm beach just for 2,6 USD one trip. I highly recommend this place for a fair price and quiet area

Simply brilliant! The value for money was great. The room was spacious and clean and we always had enough towels including beach towels. The breakfast on the balcony was stellar. Fresh fruits, ham, cheese, eggs....(picture shows only a small part of the breakfast). Alexandra welcomed us and showed us around. She explained the surroundings and gave restaurant recommendations, which we gladly followed. We were allowed to enter the room already at lunch (due to our early arrival) and had the possibility for a late check out. This location does not need a car but it could come in handy. Restaurants, beaches and supermarkets were in walking distance.

The room was clean, big and comfortable, it had everything we needed and we especially appreciated the sink, full fridge and the A/C that worked great. The bed was comfortable, it was nice to have the TV with cable and the bathroom was great as well. The balcony with a view of the water was fantastic, the breakfast was great and all staff were very nice and helpful. The hotel itself was quiet, we barely heard the neighbours and everyone was really nice - the balconies are quite big and we got to see some nice birds in the mornings. Great view for sunset as well.

This is the best bang for your buck you’re going to get in Aruba! Huge breakfast served every morning on the balcony overlooking the water. Steps from the beach - the office staff will give you a card to get free beach chairs and umbrella at Reflexions, which also has someone food/beverage service. It was fun to watch the planes fly in on the beach since it’s near the airport. Walking distance to several restaurants and bars. The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay!
