Upon arrival we were a little disappointed about the aesthetic of the property in comparison to the pictures. The owner “Fred” came out to greet us in which he seemed very hospitable initially. We got a tour of our “executive suite” which was outdated to say the least, but we stuck with it hoping to have a good experience. The bed lining was stale in the regards of feeling like they haven’t been thoroughly washed. THEN, a turn for the worst….. We went to shower and there was no hot water, it was room temp almost cold. When we brought our concerns to the owner he then made it seem like we were the problem for not wanting to take a cold shower and would not accommodate us turning the hot water on. It’s been all downhill from there. Next morning we wake up to GIANT roaches which was an absolute deal breaker for us. I did not feel like this was an acceptable property and I would much rather had booked a resort like I initially sought out to do. I would not recommend based on MY standards of quality.

Fred Gee is a super host. The unit was very clean. We have stayed at his facility in the past and we go again. Great location.
The property's location was exactly where we wanted to be... One block from beach and an easy , safe walk to a great area for dining/shopping. Did not feel crowded and the locals are always delightful. The room was fine for the price point, exactly as expected. Missing a few necessities, but our host, Fred ,took care of things once mentioned. He was very kind when we thought our flight home was cancelled and even offered to pick us up from airport, if we needed to get back.
The property is so close to the Airport. The apartment was so clean. We were talking with the owners and we were able to rent bikes from them- brand new even, so we could bike the island. We highly recommend our friends and family to stay at Le Chateau Ocean Villas!!!!!

Great Aruba Apartment
See Special Note at bottom.
The apartment was exceptional. Clean, well stocked and secure. Fred is the owner and lives on site.
This was our 4th visit to Aruba. We decided to avoid the high rise hotel / condo area. And, we are so hsppy we did. We walked just about everywhere because the apartment is just across the street from Surfside Beach. And a couple of blocks from The Marketplace mall. The Casino is next to the mall.
Fred suggested we eat at the West Deck on our first night. The food was great and we went back and suggested it to others.
Fred also suggested walking south on Surfside Beach and exploring. We ended up at Reflxions Beach Club and Restaurant . Once again, good food and a fun way to relax. We rented chairs and an umbrella for US$20 for the day!
Walking / exploring Oranjestad is an adventure. 5 min or less from the Marketplace. Many places to eat and shop. Since you will be in an apartment there is a grocery store Mercardo in downtown. It caters to locals so the prices are much less and variety is superior to convience store in the Marketplace.
There is s new upscale mall. The result is that there are numerous empty store fronts in old downtown. There are still plenty of shopping options so don't miss this area.
Consider The California Lighthouse Dinner$$$ but truely unique, the Chop House at the Rennisance$$, and the Atlantis Submarine.
NOTE, Arriving in Aruba by plane is easy and quick. GOING back to US Allow 3 hours extra!!

Quiet place off the beaten path between cruiseport and airport. Perfect!!
This property is a 5 minute walk to downtown shopping and restaurants. The main beaches are not within walking distance, but we didn't find this to be an issue
The property is close to shopping and restaurants. It is also close to the main street which can be noisy at times but it didn't bother us. It had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay.
My stay here was wonderful! Me and my girlfriend stayed here for 5 days and had a blast. Fred was awesome he was very welcoming, made us feel at home. The villa is a walking distance to a few bars, restaurants, markets and beach which was very convenient. Our place was very spacious and comfortable. 2 ACs which kept the place nice and cool. I’d definitely stay here again highly recommended.
Property had no sign outside stating you were at the right location. Only street parking no parking lot. No blankets on the bed only a sheet. Air conditioning didn't work at first until the owner fixed it. No iron only a board. No hair dryer and the water only reached lukewarm never hot. Other than that, the location was good and the place was clean although we never got any housekeeping over the 4 nights we were there.
Five minutes drive from the airport. In a nice quiet area, right across the street from the beach, walking distance to downtown, the mall, and great restaurants nearby. Our apartment had plenty of parking space, it's own entry, one bathroom and one bedroom. It had a sofa bed in the living room, but the owner left us an air mattress for my 2 kiddos which looked more comfortable. TV and internet were available at all times. Kitchenette served its purpose. Very thankful that both sleeping areas had ACs.
Fred was very thoughtful and left us some beer and wine in the fridge the day we arrived. There was also a water jug in the fridge (tap water is safe there).
Fred greeted us at the gate to the hotel and explained to us the room set up and how to access the room with the keys given. Fred was very polite and had a great personality. He stated that he was available to answer any questions and provide anything we needed. The room was clean and the furniture was maintained. The bathroom was also clean and fresh linens were provided. The main living area and bedroom even had air conditioning units...which were definitely used. There are nice gardens around the hotel and I was intrigued by the hummingbird next rest outside our room door.
A small beach and a great beach bar is right across the street. A short walk away are all of the restaurants, casinos, shopping, movie theater and bars. We had no problem walking to and from the action and the hotel was in a very safe neighborhood...just right off of the main street into the town center. The crowds in the center of town ebb and flow as the cruise ships dock and depart. The bars and restaurants in the immediate area close between 10 and 12 AM. However, you can take a short taxi ride down to the Noord area where all of the high rise hotels area and there are plenty of bars and eateries that stay open until 2, 3, 4 and 5AM.
Overall this was an excellent trip. This hotel is far enough away from the town center to have some privacy and peace but within walking distance (less than mile) to all of the excitement of the capital. Aruba is "one happy island!"
Was a very cozy environment close to downtown within walking distance to many things like Renaissance mall and stores / restaurants and shopping in seaport village. Chaos bar, along with mango's. Prime location to the Beach. We were able to take a swing every Morning. Fred was an absolute pleasure, friendly really made us feel at home and was a treasure of information for sights and touring.

Great location
Perfect location. Helpful host. Room dark, a/c noisy, shower not hot enough. Only toiletries provided was a bar of soap.
But the location made up for shortcomings.

The staff was great! Room is good but out dated and the bathroom needed more towels. However, we enjoyed our stay!
The "hotel" is actually a large house separated into individual rooms with a separate outdoor area located in a safe residential area with ample street parking.
It's convenient location is a few minutes walk to the cruise terminal, downtown shopping/dinning and one block from a beach.
We had a spacious one bedroom lower unit with a full kitchen.
As with any property there were little things that needed attention and the owner (Fred) was very attentive to the needs.
The only reason I did not rate this a 5 is because the wi-fi only works in certain rooms and the couch/sleeper bed is old and uncomfortable.
Very disappointed - air conditioning didn't work until the last day we were, the room was never cleaned or sheets changed. The furniture had blood stains which he told me was rust, so gross! The owner is nice but needs to put some effort in making the place function properly and look presentable.

Molto rumoroso. Migliorare Wi-Fi . Ottima zona
Non eccelle in pulizia e silenzio, io nella stanza al primo piano, senti le macchine e i camion giorno e notte. Aria condizionata e frigorifero molto rumorosi, li ho staccati. Il Wi-Fi funziona ad intermittenza. Non c’è cambio asciugarmi tutti i giorni. Molto gentile il gestore, non si paga poco , ma Aruba è molto cara . Zona assolutamente tranquilla e sicura come tutta l’isola .
