Coral Reef Beach

This little gem of a place is about 10-20 minutes by car to the main towns of Aruba. It’s a sleepy little fishing village and the hotel has beach access with free use of kayaks and snorkel gear. There’s a communal kitchen while each room has a small fridge. Most of the restaurants nearby are a little pricy but you can find a few that are reasonable. The owners of the place are very approachable and helpful. The rooms are comfortable with efficient A/C. Can’t be beat for the price!

Very relaxing stay. The room and balcony had an awesome view of the Caribbean. The community kitchen was handy. Friendly staff and lots of water equipment for guests to use such as kayaks, snorkels, water shoes, etc. Will definitely return!

Great small resort located on quieter side of island, with only nine apar**ents. Rooms are clean but simple, with refrigerator and coffee maker. The property is right on the water. Plenty of lounge chairs, which are available to free for guests to use: snorkel equipment, kayaks, and floats. There is also a full community kitchen, gas grill, and outdoor dining room. Staff is welcoming and keep the property clean, and well maintained. A great little oasis!

Relaxing Island A**osphere. If you like fancy high end resorts, go elsewhere. If you want sand in your toes, community style accommodations, water for snorkeling, kayaking, or swimming, then stay here. This is a small island styled resort that is so relaxed. Two excellent restaurants within short walking distance. Abundance of supermarkets close by, some are walkable. The location is more local community then resort community, which is my preference. The staff were incredibly nice and greeted me upon arrival. The rooms were clean and island styled. Water views from most rooms. A/C worked great when needed, but I usually had my balcony double doors open to feel the island breeze. Other guests were very friendly and sharing. I would definitely stay here again and start off each day sitting on the dock of the bay. Beautiful blue lights in the water made the dock a perfect place to relax at night.

Our 2nd visit to CRBA this year. Such a wonderful, relaxing, carefree paradise. It's not for everyone - spotty wifi; no hot water (not necessary); well south of the popular beach resorts; and, the rooms are a bit small. It defines Bohemian getaway. CRBA is charming for what it has, not for what it doesn't have. An excellent staff, magnificent sunsets, adjacent to two of the finest restaurants on Aruba, and an unmatched waterview a few barefoot steps away.

This was my first time to Aruba and I can honestly say I made a great choice. My room was squeaky clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Waking up to the waterfront each morning was my favorite part of the day. There is a safe to store your valuables, clean bedding, great AC, no bugs. My first night on the island I had a reservation for the flying fishbone and watched the sunset while having dinner. The showers were also refreshing after a hot day, I’d say they’re almost warm not freezing cold so don’t worry about the water. The communal kitchen was really convenient to heat up leftovers and the mini fridge in the room was convenient as well. After a long day it was nice to watch Netflix at night in the room. Zeerovers (which I think has some of the freshest seafood on the island) is only a few blocks down. If you do stay here you will need a rental car or take taxis to get to Eagle and Palm beach. There’s some great snorkeling on Baby Beach and the food at the beach bar there is great. I rented a car which gave me a lot of freedom to explore the island. In savaneta I felt safe and locals were friendly and a lot of them spoke English. I highly recommend coral reef if you’re looking for a quiet getaway but definitely rent a car.

Coral Reef Beach Aruba was the most wonderful thing I experienced in Savaneta. My fiancee and I enjoyed the peace and quiet, the ambiance, the service everything about it was truly amazing. We were welcome with Grace and Superior hospitality and felt right at home. We highly recommend staying here if you want something that's away from the tourist side of the island with more privacy and I can't forget it being a neighbor to the absolute best restaurant in the entire island The Flying Fishbone! We will definitely be returning soon thanks so much for having us!

Amazing place to stay, great amenities, Flying Fishbone next door is a great restaurant. Great location in a quiet area. Close to some great beaches. Hosts are amazing!

I loved it here! An amazing trip and being right next to the flying fish couldn’t be beat
