“Basic but great value accommodation with a wonderful host.”

The location of the property (a static RV in the landlord's large garden) is ideal: easy walking distance (30 minutes) from Queen Beatrix Airport and from Oranjestad, with bus links to most parts of the island also close; in addition, there is a large supermarket just five minutes' walk away. Herbert was a brilliant, friendly and helpful host, who insisted on meeting me in the supermarket's cafe so I didn't get lost (although if you enter "Aruba Backpackers" into Google Maps, it will take you straight there), as the road numbering in Cumana can be confusing. The property is totally self-contained, with cooking via a 2-ring gas hob (all crockery and cookware is provided) and an outside seating area in the sunshine. There are mosquito nets at all windows (although you do have to peg these into place yourself) and a bathroom with toiletries provided. There is even a cool box under the dining table equipped with beach towels and other items one might need for the beach.

“Great cheap place to stay!”

The cabin was a very unique place to stay! It was super cool, very clean, and it’s the cheapest accommodation option you can get on Aruba! It has a kitchen that is a huge plus.. cooking meal on Aruba is essential if you want to save money. It’s very near a great supermarket Cmart where you find absolutely everything. Walking distance from the airport if you can handle the heat.
