Lovely place
Karibu is a wonderful small boutique hotel. If you are looking to enjoy quiet time by the pool, away from the crowds or a day at the beach, this is the place. It is impeccably clean. Beja and Andras are very accommodating hosts.

I stayed at the Karibu with my mother and we loved the service. Andras and Beja made us feel like home. A very well maintained property. Fairly close to restaurants and tourist spots. Only con is that most tours will not pick up there but will pick you up 2 minutes away from there. Andras and Beja will also guide you and make themselves available to drop you off or pick you up at your request and depending on their schedule. They are very nice and helpful! I loved it there.

We were very pleased with our room which even had a small kitchen, fridge and micro so we could make our own breakfasts. The hosts were both helpful and friendly. There’s a small pool and sunning patio with a pleasant view of wetlands. 15 minute walk to the beach.

Karibu is an excellent place to stay. It is reasonably priced, very clean, free of the hotel area crowds. Everything you need is close by. Renting a car makes it easier to get around but taxis are easily accessible.

The place was so peaceful, quiet, and all around LOVELY! Our hosts were fabulous and welcoming. We spent one of our days doing a quick butterfly farm visit (5min away) in the morning, then wound up staying at the pool lounging the rest of the day since it was so wonderful! Nearby, we loved Tres Trapi for a 5min drive away snorkle with sea turtles, then a bit further up for a quieter beach, Arashi, (but get there early for an umbrella). Isabel and Andras offered us beach chairs amd snorkle gear, which made a world of difference! I recommend renting a car of you're there longer than a couple days, very affordable options at airport!

Karibu was a perfect place for our 2 week stay in Aruba. Andras, Beha, and Isabella were the perfect hosts. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants, the location couldn’t have been more convenient. Our room was made up every day so we came back from our adventures to a clean room! And always some surprise towel art with fresh flowers. A lovely touch! Because there are so few units (3, I believe), we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Thank you for a wonderful time, Andras and Beha!
