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 We got a tour of our “executive suite” which was outdated to say the least, but we stuck with it hoping to have a good experience.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.

Sorry that you didn’t enjoyed your stay with us.You had the opportunity to request relocation. But you decided to stay and after your check out requested the refund that unfortunately wasn’t acceptable. Obviously the others reviews shows the quality of our property and service.

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
Posted 2 Mar 2023 on HotelsSee 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!!

We stayed in the Junior Studio for 3 weeks and had plenty of space. Clean, secure and lovely with all the foliage. Fred is very friendly and chock full of information. He is also very well travelled.
It is walking distance to great restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. We walked to Surfside Beach almost every day. The free Trolley rides in town are a hoot and they make beer stops, we rode it for hours. The only time we needed a taxi was to go to Noord for a Covid test for our return trip to the US. We had a wonderful time and would definitly stay here again!
