We loved staying at Aruba bay! The kids loved the pool and it was very close to the beach. everything was clean and communication was easy. we will be booking again soon.
We had a wonderful couple of days even though the weather wasn’t cooperating! The townhome fit our needs and the pool etc. was added fun. I only wish the kitchen had been better equipped (ie silver ware, plastic bowls/lids, liquid dish soap, paper towels) and maybe extra bath towels.

The places are always nice and clean. The back door was hard to open and close. Other than this it was very nice and relaxing. Thank you
We had a very nice month stay at Aruba Bay Resort. Me and my husband stayed the month and had guests off and on. Condo was a nice set up. 2nd bedroom is a bit small and no room for storage. Just one rack with hangers. Was not a major issue, just made it work.Location was great. 2 blocks from Ocean and 2 happy hour Bar stops. Pool at Resort was nice and clean. We would stay here again.

I wish it had two bathrooms. The no salt and pepper is silly. That's a basic necessity. I was worried about noise from traffic but it wasn't an issue. Underneath the big bed was lots of random trash. The trash can didn't have a lid. Overall it was nice.

Reviewer Comments:
Location is great..easy beach access and drive to activities, food etc. Property Management was kind and prompt. Zero issues with check in/out. The unit had ample space for our family of 5 and was generally nice. Clean beds, sheets, towels. Cons were the main couch was worn and sunken in and there was a weird smell upon initially entering unit. Back door was worn and hard to open and close. The pool was not clear/was hazy likely due to amount of people using it. It also had a lot of build up on the tiles and bird nests around the water slides. But...still fun and functional especially for families.
We had a great time. The place was amazing. Will be staying here next year!

Property was great..fully equipped for all our needs. Extremely close to the beach. Yacht club was fun for the family we will definitely be going back and hope to stay here again.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the pool and the clubhouse. Love that they have activities for the kids every night. ❤️

The unit itself was clean and stocked with appropriate kitchen items. It sleeps 7 and we had 7. 1 bath wasn't too much of a problem. Good wifi and TV coverage. Cons: Outside furniture is shabby. Most items were stocked appropriately, but could use more TP even as a starter. The property has a nice pool, but it didn't seem to be cleaned at regular intervals. It was a good stay and I recommend it to others.

Not Bad
It is a clean place close enough to the beach where you could walk there. It is pet friendly but there isnt a patch of Grass to be found, you need to walk down the block before you can get to an area your dog can do their business. They make it seem like a resort but its just a collection of small condos and a parking lot. It isn't a bad place to stay but I would say it isnt worth the price as you can get more for less in that area. But if you cant find anything else, it is not a bad option.

Reviewer Comments:
The accommodations are nice, however the unit is missing some very key items to ensure a positive experience. Positives:The beds were nice and the decor was very fitting. There was a lot of pots and pans for use.Negatives: There was no tupperware with lids to hold leftovers while on site. No starter shampoo or conditioner was provided. No salt or pepper. Everything was just to the minimum in regards to items available for use. I personally run an STR and it goes a long way to have things that will allow guests to enjoy their stay without having to run to the grocery store the moment they get to the home. The unit was overall clean, but the return air vent was full of dust.
Beyond our expectations! Evertything is brand new and beautiful!! Pictures were very accurate. All amenities and accommodations were exactly as described. Turtle Bay provided everything we needed and allowed us to bring our pet. It was hard to find a property that would allow one large dog but they were very accommodating which we appreciated and would not have been able to stay here otherwise. Pools were great and beach access was nearby. It was just perfect! Thank you for a wonderful getaway!
Perfect place for families! Close to the beach, great pools, and the activities were so much fun! We loved the night fishing and the staff was so friendly and helpful.
