“All we wanted and MORE”

Ocean 105

4 of 5 stars

2/2 found this review helpful

When we arrived to Aruba we were greeted with a very friendly cabby who managed to get ALL our luggage in! (We over packed!) As we were chatting on the way to Ocean 105 we told him the day we were leaving and time and he said he would pick us up. Sure enough - none of us remembered he said that - but there he was on departure date - ready to roll!

On our arrival to Ocean 105 - we were greeted by other friendly guests and Lynn the property manager. She showed us around the property and how to work the air conditioner etc. When we realized there was no local telephone - Lynn came to our rescue with a cell phone and all we had to do was buy a calling card. (Cheap) What a convience!!

The view was wonderful - we had one of the ocean view apartments - 2 bedroom, 2 full bath and king size beds - (I slept like a rock!) The balconies are wonderful to watch sunsets and the morning starting. We often had cocktails on the veranda in the evening with a wonderful ocean breeze.

One evening we hosted a small party and the apartment was perfect!! (We did pack some food from the states to offset the grocery prices.)
I brag about Aruba and how I wish to go back soon. If you like a quiet, relaxing place to stay... Ocean 105 is the place. If you like the night life you can either drive or take the bus. We had a fantastic vacation!!

Positives: Loved the privacy. The views!

Negatives: Would have loved to have a grill to cook on. In the original drawings for the property there was a jacuzzi - wish it would have been there! The floor wasn't primed and not very clean - but Lynn had told us about it. (Due to it being new construction)

“Fantastic Sunsets and Accommodations”

Ocean 105

5 of 5 stars
Rochester, NY
Apr 21, 2008

Our family of four spent 7 nights at Ocean 105. It is a private villa right on the on the ocean in Malmok Aruba. This is one of the few villas right on the Ocean Front. The villa is a charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home complete with complete kitchen, living room and fantastic veranda from which to watch the incredible sunsets. There is coin-operated laundry on the premises also. The property manager, Lynn, was extremely friendly and helpful. Our only problem was a wasp nest on the veranda. We told the property manager and she took care of it quickly.
There was a paid security gaurd on the premises from 9:00pm to 7:00am every night. We always felt safe in the villa and actually everywhere on the island. The rate for the villa was very reasonable.
The location was 5 minutes from 3 of the most beautiful beaches in the world and about 15 minutes from the island's main town of Oranjastead.

“Extremely Satisfied and Impressed”

Ocean 105

Loved the location and the layout of the apartment. Lynn was most helpful and sincerely wanted us to have a comfortable, safe, and
memorable experience. She upgraded us to a larger suite since it was available, which we greatly appreciated. Many tourists take boats to get to the nearby snorkelling site, but we had the convenience of just walking over ( just a few yards away) and choosing quiet times of the day. I liked being separated from the larger hotels, and the busier beach areas. I would definitely return to Ocean 105, if I have the opportunity, and I would stay longer.
Thanks Lynn again for your hospitality.

“sunset heaven”

My wife Freda and myself spent 16 days at ocean 105 this past January and February during Carnival. The owners were most friendly and hosted a appetizer-wine get together each Wednesday just before sunset. The aprtment was spacious with great air-conditioning. The only drawback was a smaller than average bathroom. The cooking facilities were excellent as we prepared 1/2 of our meals there daily. Although we only snorkeled once, the experience was wonderful with the coral and fish in shallow water. Many people came to this beach to snorkel. Everyone we met was very friendly and we had a wonderful vacation. Kent & freda Confeld-Minneapolis,Minnesota.

“Fabulous!!!!”

Ocean 105

You will not be disappointed!! We have been vacationing in Aruba for 13 years and this is at the top of the list of places to stay. The beach next to the apartments is great and the views of the ocean and the sunsets are spectacular. It is located close to Tierra Del Sol Golf course which is a real plus for us. Hotels, restaurants and casinos are near also. The apartment was very clean and well maintained along being very nicely decorated. The Property Manager's office is on site and she absolutely goes out of her way to provide a great experience for the guests--even assisted us with dinner reservations! They even provide cell phones for the guests use! We have already made reservations for a return visit!! If you want to stay there you need to book the reservation as eary as possible as there are only four apartments and they seem to be always full!
