Our first visit to Aruba...we stayed 10 days.We found the Arubans to be gracious hosts, welcoming and very accommodating. Service was better than most places in the US. Public water is produced at the desalinization plant, it was fine right out of the tap. Be aware that most streets do not have sidewalks. We started out without a car, that lasted 1 day.Aruba seems to be a very safe place. We didn't hesitate to go anywhere.The Casa is clean and a good value. We prefer being away from the beachfront. That said, the high-rise district beaches are only 10 minutes away. Baby Beach is about 35 minutes, the most distant of the 10 tourist beaches.Lots of grocery stores. Super Foods is 10 minutes away, an excellent store with large selections. There are several good restaurants nearby.The property manager is excellent and very responsive . We enjoyed the on-property pool. Only one thing to complain about - the in-house washer and dryer were out of order. The property manager offered laundry service; we just rinsed things in the sink. There are ample supplies of beach gear in the garage. The third bedroom has a bunk bed with a common bathroom nearby. The two main bedrooms have showers.
