stay away if you are looking for a 4 star hotel
No elevator, it's definitely not a 4 star hotel. There was no hot water every time we wanted to take a shower, we had to wait for 30 minutes till they turn it on. We got an up great to a suite - but the air condition was only in the living room & wasn't cold enough in the bedroom. The staff were very helpful & tried to do their best. The small balcony was very dirty.

Lovely hotel but nowhere near Budva
Very comfortable and clean hotel, staff in restaurant were a little bit rude and unwelcoming however the girl who worked at the front desk was absolutely lovely spoke very good English and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel has very good facilities but was in the middle of nowhere.

Well-located for exploring Montenegro by car
Very nice hotel - the staff were very friendly, the room was clean and the pool was nice. The location is good if you have a car - it's just off the main road that runs along the coast and so handy for Budva, Kotor and Sveti Stefan etc. Plenty of parking. Would recommend.

Very Nice Hotel
The Hotel is very nice and the staff were Very Accommodating, friendly and polite, the rooms were very clean and comfortable, However we may have gone to early in the summer season ( 2nd - 3rd Weeks of May ) The Air-Con Was working but not very well and the Pool which looked very nice was not in use ( It became usable on the day of our departure ) For Note the Hotel is 4.4Km's from Budva Town Centre therefore I would recommend you hire a car if possible to travel around as the local bus service is approximately every 30 Minutes. The Breakfast was adequate but overall we had a very nice time in the Hotel.

Good hotel
The hotel itself is great. It is new, our room was very spacious and comfortable, food served for breakfast was super fresh and tasty. We stayed there 3 nights and had got to speak to several members of staff. Most of them were super friendly and helpful, some others though seemed to not like dealing with guests at all and were extremely unwelcoming. It was claimed that the hotel provides bikes that could be used to ride to the nearest beach (about 30 min walk, 10 min on a bike), however, when we asked for two bikes for us, the member of staff couldn't find even one that didn't have flat tires! That was quite disappointing. Anyway, the best way to get the nearest beach (beautiful Jaz beach) is by car. The parking charge there is 3 euro for the whole day, but if you arrive in the late afternoon it is free. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay in Hotel Aruba!
Thank you very much for staying at our hotel. We are very glad to know that you had nice time here and we are truly apologizing for not having the bikes in good shape. We are however working on bike maintenance now to provide better guest experience. We are sorry for your uncomfortable experience with someone of the hotel staff. We will improve in this field too. Thank you for your review and it was pleasure to have you as our guests. Greetings from Montenegro, Team of hotel ArubA

it is a nice little hotel in a picturesque village close to Budva and Tivat airport. Staff service was excellent. breakfast very good. rooms clean and tidy although the decoration was not my style. you would need a car or a taxi though to visit Budva and Kotor

A Wonderful Find
We had a great stay here. The staff were outstanding. The hotel is away from the craziness of Budhva. The attached restaurant serves great food and is great value. We did wonder why we couldn't charge our meals and drinks to our room, this is something that should change. The overall standard of the hotel was great and the pool area is perfect after a day sightseeing. We would definitely stay here again.

Relaxed stay at Aruba
We were going to amend our stay and return to Petrovac, but after our first night at the Aruba Hotel decided to stay till the last day of our holiday. The staff were exceptional and so accommodating in all aspects. We would like to extend our thanks to Katerina, Milena, Maja and Ivana for making us most welcome. The food in the restaurant was lovely, and we even walked around the corner from the Aruba to the local fish restaurant. The Jaz beach nearby was beautiful, inviting and has everything you need to enjoy the Adriatic. We were so lucky to find the time to visit Perast, Kotor and Budva during our stay in Montengro. We even drove over the border to Dubrovnik in Croatia, and would highly recommend the Aruba Hotel if you are hoping to see the local area, as its so convenient in its location. Thank you again for our few days of relaxation. Regards Ray and Jules x

Excellent accomodation and extremely helpful staff
We booked two rooms and both were very clean and comfortable, recently refurbished and contained all the necessary amenities. All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful at all times. the hotel has a small pool which we made good use of and also a tennis court and bicycles free of charge. The distances quoted to the various beaches/points of interest is a bit misleading (given as the crow flies) and the nearest and best beach, Jaz, is about 15 minutes bike ride away. There is a footpath for cycling to this beach, but it would be dangerous to cycle a longer distance along the main roads. However, buses are quite convenient and it's easy to get into Kotor and Budva by bus. The self service breakfast is adequate and you can sit either inside or outside to eat. We had one or two small niggles:- 1) The keycard electronic entry system to each room works well, but is required to be in the room in order to maintain electricity supply. Thus the air conditioning turned off as you left the room and also it's not possible to leave batteries on charge, 2) The internet was often not available and routers required rebooting quite often, 3) Some rooms were quite noise affected - particularly when there was a party or music playing in the dining room. Also the rubbish bins were collected at 03:00 hrs each day which was quite disturbing!! Despite these few niggles Aruba is a very nice hotel with great staff and I would recommend it to anyone.

Not exactly in Budva, but a great value
This hotel is not exactly in Budva, it's about a 15 minute drive to Budva from the hotel. However, it is near Jaz beach and they give you free parking and free chairs there through thr hotel. After getting over our initial disappointment that the hotel wasn't in Budva, we ended up really liking the place - they had friendly staff, free breakfast with a good mix of food, clean rooms, contemporary decor, a nice pool, free parking, and a good restaurant. We would definitely stay there again!

Im Hotel selbst gab es nur zum Frühstück mittelmäßigen Kaffee, ansonsten musste man ihn sich am Automat holen, welcher selten ging. Sehr nervig für Kaffeejunkies :-) Die Sauberkeit im Hotel war gut, das Frühstück zweckmäßig aber das Personal sehr freundlich! Der Pool war toll und die Einrichtung in den Zimmern auch auf einem neueren Stand. Was uns nur gestört hatte war, dass es keine Bar oder sonstiges gab, wo man die Abende verbringen konnte. Weder im Hotel selbst, noch in der Umgebung. Um etwas zu erleben, musste man in das völlig überfüllte Budva fahren. Hier brauchte man mit dem Auto für 4 km (Startpunkt Hotel) bis in die Stadt manchmal 1 Stunde.

Bekväma sängar o rent och fräscht
Rent och fräscht, men då och då avloppslukt i badrummet. Bekväma och lagom mjuka sängar. Wi-fi fungerade inte överallt i rummet. Frukosten var OK, men tråkig. Mest olika bullar och sockerkaksvarianter. Men det fanns även stekt ägg, korv, formfranska, tre/fyra varianter av pålägg, melon, kaffe (balkanstyle), te, "juice" (som stark apelsinsaft), yoghurt, mjölk och två sorters müsli/flingor. Informationen om badrockar och tofflor i rumsbeskrivningen stämde inte. Inte heller "ljudisolerade rum". Men det var ganska lugnt ändå när vi var där. Trots att vi var fyra personer i vårt rum fick vi bara tre handdukar och badlakan varje dag. Trevlig personal. Poolmrådet är lite tråkigt och omysigt. Färre solstolar än på bilderna och de var ganska slitna och trasiga. Dynorna till solstolarna var fräscha. Hotellet låg lite "mitt ute i ingenstans" men inga problem om man har bil.

Montenegro kannattaa kokea
Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta - uima-allas oli tilava ja siisti - aamiainen hyvä normaali - ruoat maukkaita ja edullisia. Kaikki toimi - sijainti edellyttää vuokra-autoa - mikä on kyllä loistoratkaisu nähdäkseen paljon Montenegroa sekä naapurivaltioita.
