Aruba Bay Resort Rental
Aruba Bay Resort was an excellent choice I made for my family and I, not only was it was very clean but spacious and just felt like home. The manager was very helpful and made it easy to settle right in. Plus, I have to mention the swimming pool which has two huge slides and I know your children will love it just as much as mine did!

Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled to hear Aruba Bay Resort felt like a home away from home for your family. It’s great to know the space, cleanliness, and helpful management made settling in easy—and those pool slides are always a hit with kids (and kids at heart!). We’d love to welcome you and your family back for another fun-filled stay!

Amazing!! Great location!!
It was perfect location to walk to the beach and to go fishing to the canal. Nice gesture, a pumpkin pie in the fridge for thanksgiving! Rooms and bed, wonderful for our family of 6! The shower needs more pressure, wondering if all other units had same pressure? Very clean and comfortable!
Yazmin H. from Floresville - Posted: 11/30/2025
Hey Yazmin! Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the perfect location, the canal for fishing, and the little Thanksgiving pumpkin pie surprise. It’s great to hear the condo was clean, comfortable, and worked well for your family of six. We appreciate your note about the shower pressure and will look into it—thank you for letting us know. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing stay!

Good place
This was good place. Might come back later. Couple of issues we saw:

- head clearance on the double bunk bed was low. The first level clearance was too low you'll hit your head if you don't watch out. Even for kids!

- Maybe owners can provide netflix account in the TV but otherwise it's good.

- Internet is super fast. Amazing.

- Pest control guy came in for 2 minutes. Property managers had to coordinate with us. It was annoying because we don't want to be disturbed while on vacation. It was only for 2 minutes but I have never experienced this in other properties.

- pots and pans are a bit old but it's fine. Beggars can't be choosers. I am thankful there are utensils.

- we only got 2 dishwasher soap and 1 detergent soap for a 6-night stay. They should be mindful. I think it makes sense to give more.

- There's a camera for back patio but there is notice so it's fine.

- There's free grill around the area in the yacht club. They should mention it as perk. It was awesome.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the fast internet and the great location near the complex grill. Pest control is scheduled quarterly, so occasional brief visits may happen if access is allowed—thank you for your understanding. We appreciate your notes about the bunk bed, kitchen supplies, and will pass them along to improve future stays. Hope to welcome you back again!

Roaches!
At first, it everything looked and seemed fine and clean. night one we thought we saw a bug, didn’t pay no attention then woke up in the middle of night and saw 2 roaches near bathroom. Couldn’t get to my phone fast enough to get pictures. Night 2, my daughter and wife were sleeping on top bunk. Wife sees something moving grabs her phone and saw roach crawling next to her then up the siding of the top bunk. She was disgusted. We stay in rentals like these because we don’t want to experience these kind of things. My wife called to explain what happened seemed like they didn’t care. Was told they were sorry and they regularly spray. If they do why was there roaches. I had paid $25 for early check in and that’s all the refunded me. Which is not ok. To literally have a roach crawling on you then next to you while you sleep... that was a slap in the face and in my opinion and not right.
Anonymous from San Antonio - Posted: 7/13/2025
Thanks for sharing this review. This is definitely not the experience we want guests to have, and I understand how unsettling a situation like that can be—especially in a sleeping area. We took the complaint seriously and had the property treated promptly, even though no further activity was found. Unfortunately, the issue wasn’t reported until after the stay, which limited our ability to respond in the moment. While sightings can happen in coastal environments, we remain committed to staying proactive. I agree that empathy and clear communication are essential, and we’ll continue working to improve both.

Great vacation spot for kiddos and pets!
We had a great stay at Whale Hello There. Everything was clean and lovely. The pool is warm and well maintained (the kids’ absolutely favorite spot!) and close to the beach, just a few blocks away. I recommend getting a beach parking pass to make everything really easy if you’ve got kids / docs / circus.

Check in and out was a breeze, nothing complicated or cumbersome. Will be coming back!!
