Amalia's place was a great place to stay. It was my first trip to Aruba with my college-aged sons. The beds were comfortable, and the place had everything you need - well-equipped kitchen, hair dryers, shampoo, soap, etc. You can walk to the beach in 5-10 minutes. It is a quiet area, away from the touristy areas in the north part of the island. If you want a quiet vacation, this is the spot for you. We had a rental car and were able to drive to activities in the north part of the island when we wanted to. Rum Reef Bar and Grill is a fun spot you can walk to from the house, but has limited hours. I would highly recommend staying at this property.
