When we arrived at the hotel, Tim—our host—was already there, warmly waiting to welcome us. It was really late, and after a failed attempt to find food, we were about to give up and head to bed when Tim and his wife, Joan, generously offered us some homemade food. From day one, they were incredibly kind—offering us rides when transportation was tricky, checking in on us throughout the week, and making sure our stay went smoothly. It truly felt like they were our grandparents for the week in the best way. On our last day, they even drove us to the airport and gave us the sweetest goodbye. It was the first time my friend and I had ever traveled, and we both agreed that staying at this hotel—and having Tim and Joan as our hosts—was an unforgettable experience. (on behalf of my daughter Rocio)

The owners make you feel at home immediately. They give recommendations and know the island well. Very cute and quaint place to stay. All 4 room would often meet in the common area for coffee in the morning and share our previous day. The rooms were set up well with a small kitchen area. They have a book library in the common area. Plenty of places to sit, lounge and relax.walking distance to grocery store , two amazing restaurants , and maybe 10 min walk to the marriot beach. I'm so happy I stumbled on this boutique hotel.

We had a lovely stay, the hosts were very helpful and we felt at home immediately. It was lovely to be somewhere quiet compared to the very busy hotels at the front. Easy to get around walking, buses and taxis.

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.

We loved that it was small, quiet, and far enough away from the big hotels to not be crowded, but close enough to walk to the beach and restaurants. The owners, Andrus and Beja, are incredibly sweet and very helpful. There’s no question we’ll stay there again when we return.

Karibu Aruba had the nicest and helpful staff and owners. They directed us to restaurants and adventures. The location was peaceful and a short walk to everything. Everything was clean and we had a full kitchen and bbq by the pool if we wanted to stay in.

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.

Andras and Beja were fantastic hosts from picking us up from the airport ,showing us around the area and being so accommodating and friendly. We were made to feel at home .Their place was spotlessly clean,we recommend it if you are looking for a perfect boutique hotel experience.

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.
