I loved my stay at Coral Reef! The location was nice, situated outside of the main tourist area but still a short drive away from Orangestaad and Noord. The staff was exceptional both at the property and the Restaurant which was literally right next door. If you are looking for a quiet stay with great food next door, then I highly recommend Coral Reef!

Very rustic. No hot wster. Very responsive staff. Self service breakfast. Clean rooms and kitchen. Guest leftovers ( chairs, backgammon sets, kayaks )can be broken, dirty. The setting is nice and quiet. Very small grounds. If other guests have habits you may not like its hard to get away onnthe property. Restaurant attached is noisy, ovrrpriced and overrated. Walk to zeeovers!

When many think of Aruba they imagine casinos, all inclusive resorts and cruise ships. There is a lot more to the island. Ocean Reef Beach Apartments was the perfect fit on our trip. The owner and management is fantastic, the location was just what we wanted. We were there on Super Bowl Sunday and the owner brought out a big screen TV and we all watched the game with our feet in the sand! It’s right next to Flying Fish, one of the best restaurants on the island and owned by the same person. We swam right off the dock area and kayaked nearly every day. Highly recommended

I really liked that it was far away from the high rise hotels. It was quiet and peaceful. Jenny was so nice and helpful. All around staff was so sweet. No hot water wasn’t bad! It’s so hot outside I was grateful for a cooler shower. The water isn’t freezing it’s lukewarm. Shared common space was nice. Swimming was good. Additional supplies for kayaking and snorkeling was also really nice to have

Great place to stay. Right on the side of the famous restaurant “Flying fish bone”. Can swim, kayak right off the property. It offers on site grill, three kayaks, beach chairs and snorkeling devices for guests to use. It is 5 minutes drive away from Mangel halt beach and only 20 minutes drive away from the best snorkeling place baby beach on the very east south corner

We had a great stay at this place. Stafss are friendly and nice. Erick handled my reservation change request professionally and was very polite. Victor was informative and was there to help any time, and Garcelia provided great housekeeping when requested. There are two great restaurants nearby. Flying Fishbone is just next to this property and Zeroover is 3 min walk. Two of the best restaurants in Aruba. I highly recommend this place for booking.

Property was marketed as a non smoking property. It is not. Many people were smoking and with the poor quality of the doors and windows the smoke came in my room. The WiFi was poor at best. There was no hot water for showering. No beach, only a pier. Television did not work.

We liked the sunset views and how peaceful it was after the restaurant closed. We booked through Expedia and we believed that we booked a 2nd floor room with a sea view from inside of our room, but we were told that was not what we reserved. Expedia's website also did not mention that this location did not have hot water. The temperature of the water was acceptable, but it would have been nice to know that before booking the room. This was a nice location with friendly people. We enjoyed our stay.

This place is amazing. The staff immediately greeted us and showed us the room and what they had to offer. The outside area is so cute and perfect to spend time. There is also a small private beach with water access, absolutely loved it. They had hammocks, snorkel stuff, etc. Room was clean and had house keeping daily. They also gave us a restaurant at flying fish bone next door. We would absolutely stay here again.

Ugh. I absolutely hate writing bad reviews especially when people are so friendly however, I feel like people should be aware. The manager was so sweet and kind and helpful so if there’s any upside to this, let it be that, When we booked this, we knew we wouldn’t be at a 5 star all-inclusive resort. Based on the photos, we knew it would be a bit older and out dated, but we were very shocked upon arrival. You have to carry your luggage through sand just to get to the extremely steep/wide steps and that were not easy to get up. Once getting in the room, you realize it is a shared balcony with other guests… which is fine. Walking inside, there were two huge doors directly in front of a queen sized bed… Sittin in a 10x10 room. We had no where to put 1 let alone two suit cases… Following, there were huge cracks in the floor, insect repellent (for the room) on the shelf, the floors were soaking wet and the A/C was not working. Not to mention, the lighting in there showed ever speck of dust and dirt all over the place. WiFi did not work, and coffee machine was dirty. I feel horrible writing this, but we ended up having to book and spend an additional $1000 for our trip because we simply could not stay there. Again, we knew we were getting old, but we didn’t know we were getting what we got.
