Nice Stay

We rented this unit as part of a family reunion. Great experience. Good location and easy access to the other units family members rented.

Salty Melon

It was a great place to stay. Very clean inside and out. Very close to beach. Only thing would suggest is to make more ADA compliant for people with disabilities.

Great Stay Close to White Cap Beach

We loved our stay at Aruba Bay Resort in the Salty Melons townhome. It was super clean, had all the amenities important to us and check in/ check out was a breeze. Parking was easy and the location felt secure.

Home away from home

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay at the salty melons condo. It had everything needed to entertain and accommodate our kids of ages 2,5, and 7. The board games were a hit, the utensils and cookware being available helped a lot and reduced our need to travel and/or purchase extra items for our trip. From the hair dryer, iron and ironing board, to the speaker provided. The amenities were amazing and family friendly. The yacht club was so beautiful and a great background for us to take family pictures at. We highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be coming back.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled your family had everything you needed to relax and enjoy your stay—from the board games to the kitchen amenities and thoughtful extras. It sounds like the yacht club provided the perfect backdrop for memorable family photos! We can’t wait to welcome you all back to Salty Melons for another great visit.

Great Stay

We stayed here for a wedding, and it was absolutely amazing! The size of the house was great for my husband, adult daughter, her husband, and two grandchildren! The house was super clean and had everything we needed. It was an amazing experience, and we would choose it again!

Awesome Place to Stay

The condo was super clean as well as the parking lot and pool area. White Caps beach was about 3 minutes away. The marina area could use more green lights in the water for fishing. 1 green light is not enough. We still fished the marina and had fun. We definitely will be returning in the future.

Great Place!

We loved this place! We stayed at Aruba Bay with multiple families for a baseball tournament. This townhouse was clean and very homey. The second bedroom was a little smaller than expected, but other than that it was perfect. The kids had so much fun at the pool with the slides, and playing foosball and ping pong upstairs. The location was great, being so close to the beach. There’s plenty to do here and in the area.
We plan to come back!
