We stayed at the Paradera Park Apartments in units 104 and 108 for two periods for a total of 8 nights in early August, and have nothing but good things to say. The rate is fantastic, and in Aruba you are wasting your money to stay at a resort as you truly need to rent a car and explore the... more

Paradera Park Apartments truly deserves the "Best Hidden Gem" award. The apartments are simple, but spotless clean. We enjoyed having a kitchen to prepare breakfast and eat on our patio. The grounds are tropical, lush, beautiful and quiet. The price is a true bargain. more

We are just back from aruba and loved it, we picked ppa because of this sites reviews and all i can add is i think the place is great also, we normally fly and flop on holiday but this time tried hiring a car and touring the island which we enjoyed, if ppa was on eagle or palm beach then... more

My husband and I spent our post-nuptial vacation (7.10-7.17.08) at Paradera Park Apts., after reading several good reviews on this site. I have to add my rave to the pile. Debby and Henk de Weerd, the owners, are accommodating, hospitable, and go above and beyond the typical innkeeper roles. They are knowledgeable about all aspects of island life, and will... more

This is a great place to stay with a family! All the facilities are at hand and the owners are very engaged, happy people. They made us feel right at home and helped us to find the best spots on the island! Definitely a place that we hope to return to one day!!! more

I'm a bit confused by all the raves. We needed a place to stay for 2 nights prior to our week at the Riu, I saw the great reviews on trip advisor and booked. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere, difficult to find at night and quite a distance from the beach. The proprietors were very nice, the... more

Our stay at Paradera Park Apartments (PPA) was absolutely fantastic. We stayed from April 30th through May 7th. The room was huge with a kitchen and patio. Debby was totally helpful in pointing out all the best places to eat, drink, and play. Because PPA is located inland, you should rent a car to explore the rest of the island.... more

It's true - what everyone else is saying. It is a little bit of paradise. If you're the kind that wants to explore on your own and not be stuck in an AI resort, this is the perfect "base" to explore Aruba. We rented a jeep and went everywhere from the natural pool to little beaches we found off the... more

We stayed from April 9th to April 20th for 10 of the most relaxing, restful, peaceful and beautiful days in a long time. We have been to Aruba 3 times before and never had such a great time. The owners are beyond words-very happy and friendly. When you need to find local jewerly- do not shop anywhere else, just shop... more
