We had a wonderful stay at Costa Esmeralda Village! It was a last minute decision to go to Aruba. We stayed in a villa which has two bedrooms, two baths, and a kitchen. It’s absolutely lovely, beautifully equipped, and poolside — just perfect. The location is very close to everything, which made exploring Aruba easy and fun. It is very safe.
The staff here are fantastic — friendly, helpful, and always attentive, making our stay feel warm and welcoming. My daughter absolutely loved it; she couldn’t get enough of the pool, the atmosphere, and just how comfy the villa was.
One thing to note: it is better to rent a car to get around the island properly. While many of Aruba’s attractions are relatively nearby, having a car gives you the freedom to explore more remote beaches, restaurants, and viewpoints.
All in all, Costa Esmeralda Village is a gem. If you’re looking for a relaxing, comfortable stay and a great staff, this is a great choice.
