This is a 2 star facility, and priced accordingly, don’t expect it to be some hidden gem, it is a place to get some sleep, nothing more, nothing less. The staff is very friendly, the facility is pretty rough.

Ideal for divers who do not care about anything else but diving.
The first red flag was zero to minimal communication with the hosts, but moving on. The property is kind of hard to find, especially with no instruction from the host. This place is probably ok for divers, but definitely not for a couples get away. You get what you pay for! After traveling all day, we found out there was no hot water. No warm water either. The shower water was COLD, not warm, not lukewarm, not solar heated warm, COLD! If that’s your thing then maybe this place is for you. The first night, we could hear the host snoring from everywhere in the house. The walls are thin! We were woken up bright and early (7am) to tanks clanking, loud talking, and slamming gate doors. We could hear EVERYTHING, even whispering because there is a giant 5” by 5’ hole in the wall above the bed, that leads into their dove shop office. It is covered by the flag you probably saw in the pictures. This as well as the water issue, were not disclosed to us upon booking. There are basically zero amenities except for a crusty coffee maker that looks like it has never been washed. The sheets looked dirty and are less than paper thin, bring your own blanket if you’re cold natured because there are none. If you’re ok with cold showers, great, but be warned, because of the awful half glass shower wall, the bathroom floor floods. When the issue of the hot water was brought to the hosts attention, he promised the heater would be fixed “that same day” but it was not. Would not stay again!

Located in the very safe and quiet area. Great place to stay if you want to snorkle. Rent a car. Bring water shoes and snorkeling gear. Yes, no hot shower; but we almost didn't need one.

Excellent Aruba stay
We had a wonderful time at the Nautilus Inn. The hosts, Juan and Angela went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The space is simple and clean with an awesome shower! We spent time every day on the covered patio and in the hammock. Comfortable and safe. Blackie the cat kept us company in the mornings as we enjoyed our coffee outside. Hosts are very responsive and made many great recommendations. And if you want to scuba or snorkel, this is the place to do it. The hosts also run the scuba, snorkeling school, and do excursions. We did a snorkeling excursion. That was absolutely stunning and Jose was amazing. Definitely would come again and stay here!

Great place to stay in Aruba
First time using VRBO for travel . was very satisfied. The descriptions spot on. It is right next to possibly the best beach in Aruba Mangel Halito. Angela was a considerate host. The property has two rooms and a kitchen and most of the implements are provided. I would recommend to get a rental car though due to being a little away from the Large hotels. But in the end it will save you a lot of money. The property is adjoining the dive shop. and if you are interested in Diving you are probably in the best place in Aruba. We did not dive but it was still a great location for us. Also they have a very nice Cat called Blackie. Who also looks after the tenants with timely visits and inquiries.

I liked that it was close to one of the beaches.
I did not like the dive facility accomodations. They offered a small boat/raft. The dive master did not communicate well, prior to arrival; therefore, I booked with Jads and was completely satisfied!
I did not like the fact that this facility was so far away from town. Get ready to pay a lot for taxi or rent a car!

Best Place on Aruba
Next to the best beach of Aruba, Mangel Halto. If you love to swim in turquoise water, snorkel close to the beach or even dive, this is your place to stay. Angela and Juan are great hosts, apartment is very nice with your private terrace, if you want to dive, you can do it with Juan. We definitely want to come back!

Goed gelegen, beetje primitief maar vriendelijk verblijf.
Negatief: De tekst in de advertentie klopte niet helemaal. Er was geen parkeerplaats op eigen terrein. Althans daar stond al een boot. Je kon wel goed in de straat parkeren.
In de advertentie was het een 6 persoons huisje met twee slaapkamers met dubbelbed en twee eenpersoons bedden in de woonkamer. In de praktijk was er 1 slaapkamer en de woonkamer. De andere slaapkamer was afgesloten. Vanuit mijn slaapkamer moest ik daardoor altijd door de woonkamer waar mijn zoon sliep om bij toilet, keuken of terras te komen. Dat vond ik niet prettig. Ze waren ook aan het verbouwen met herrie. Ze probeerden dat wel in overleg te doen.
De keukeninrichting was zeer summier. Geen elektrische waterkoker of waterketel voor op het gas. Nauwelijks pannen. Geen waslijn of droogrek op het terras voor handdoeken of handwasje.
Airco in slaapkamer mocht overdag niet gebruikt worden; airco in de woonkamer maakte het terras erg heet.
Positief: het zijn zeker aardige mensen zijn. Als je wilt duiken of snorkelen zit je hier goed. Het is namelijk ook een duikschool. Het is geweldig gelegen op het eiland. Centraal. Je kan lopend bij mooie rustige snorkel stranden komen met hier en daar schaduw. Mangrove bossen. Restaurant en winkel op loopafstand. Rustige buurt. Bij het huisje hoorde ook 3 strandstoelen en een koelbox om mee naar het strand te kunnen nemen. Dat was heel prettig. Op het terras hing een hangmat.
