House was very clean, bedrooms were a very good size and kitchen was fully equipped. It’s located in a nice area within walking distance to Palm Beach and restaurants. The pool was great for the kids and in the afternoon it was partially shaded. Perfect for them staying out of the sun from being at the beach in the morning.The property managers Marvelin and Rolando were excellent. We were met on arrival and were explained everything about the property.

Aruba family Christmas

The Fortress was very spacious & a very private setting/yard! 10- minute walk to the beach & restaurant/bars/shopping The property is a little old & we experienced several system breakdowns TV, Internet, sewage smells etc… the owner, Mgmt contact, maintenance were very responsive & for the most part fixed things in a timely manner! We would stay there again, we just booked it wrong as we all stayed different l Number of days… so cost us more…but that’s on us! Thanks John L

Supposedly a great house (long time ago) but in desperate need of updates and repairs, it just not rentable in this condition. Ant infestation in rooms, cockroaches in kitchen, and on top of it, unserviced septic tank that overfilled, and started returning stuff even through shower drains. It was fixed next day. On top of it, all the yard landscape reuses septic liquid for watering backyard plants, and the smell is overwhelming. We had to ask for everything that was supposed to be included with the house: hand and face towels, jacuzzi was cold-we waited till next day propane delivery, tried grilling, again, no propane till next day, house is advertised that it sleeps 10, yet, there’s total of 8 forks in the kitchen, and hardly any pots and pans for cooking. In addition, water heater kept shutting off and we’ve showered mostly with cold water. Add to that busted rattan bed by the pool covered with rubber mat that luckily no one fell through. I was on the phone with property manager almost daily. We’re not complainers, but actually very easy going family, and we’ve never posted a review with anything but a 5 star. This one would be no exception if there was couple of minor things wrong, but once our long awaited family vacation was turned into bunch of daily frustrations, we had to post a negative one. Again, with some solid upgrades and once well stocked with everything a rental house needs, this would again be a prime spot. House layout is great, and so is the location.

A disappointing week

There were nothing but problems from the first day. The property manager sent a representative to meet our first person. She showed a few things about the property, but there were no written instructions. The grill was filthy, and didn’t work till the third day when someone came to fix it. Some of the hot and cold faucets were backwards - so we thought two of the rooms didn’t have hot water. The propane ran out, and the spa wasn’t working till the sixth night. The wifi and tv didn’t work in the two backyard bedrooms for the first few days. We couldn’t figure out how to work the stove. The AC in the dining room didn’t work at all. With the living room AC down the dining room was bearable, but the living room was too cold for anyone to use it. The AC didn’t reach the kitchen at all. We couldn’t reach the property manager by phone. He told us there was no one to contact after 6PM. I had to send messages through VRBO to get help. Each time someone answered me promptly, but they had major problems fixing all the issues, and sometimes didn’t send anyone till the end of the day. Two or three nights there was a worker at the house till 9PM. The workers would say we’ll be back at 8:30 tomorrow - then not show up till after six, or the next day. All the beds, except the two twins in the small main floor bedroom, were way too firm and uncomfortable. The outside furniture is shabby, broken pieces sticking out. One dining room chair isn’t stable, almost collapsing when someone sat in it. Much of the inside furniture is beat up and broken. The worst was on the 4th (or was it 5th?) day when it poured for hours. We woke up to leaks all over the dining room, kitchen and laundry room. The first person up that morning slipped on the wet tile floors - luckily she was able to grab onto something and keep herself from falling. VRBO told us to vacate the property and find new lodging. But they said we had to use Expedia, and we had to keep costs close to what we spent on this house if we wanted to be reimbursed. It was impossible to find anything comparable, and at that point most of our complaints had been addressed. We decided to stay, the rain stopped, the sun came out, and it seemed we’d be better off just staying. The owner gave us a 25% refund. This didn’t come close to covering the time we lost - but we were so tired of the whole thing we said ok. The property needs to be cleaned, better maintained, and clear instructions provided.

Aruba vacation

This house was the prefect for our large family. We had 10 people and had plenty of bedrooms and beds. Quick walk to the beach, restaurants, shopping and the beach bar for daily happy hour. Had a few minor hiccups that the property managers handled ASAP. Cannot say enough good things about them. The pool was awesome and great time hanging in there in the afternoons.

We took 10 people (mix of family and friends) to aduba for a week to celebrate my daughter's high school graduation. The space was perfect for the group and the location was amazing. Easy communication with the host. Only issue we had all week was spotty internet if everyone was Googling what to do next or what music to play at the same time...

traveler BEWARE: owner is shady , rent at your own risk

property is so so. cold water showers, broken toilet seat in downstairs master suite, pool/hot tub tile is scaled and dirty. cockroaches in upstairs master suite and outside apartment has a small pest infestation. cannot leave drinking glasses on counters as they become full of little bugs.. thats the property review. THE real issue is the shady owner. prior to coming to aruba, one of the couples could not make the trip due to the covid 19 pandemic, we spoke to the owner before arriving and he promised to refund their portion of the rental, no questions asked due to the circumstances. the other 3 couples did make the trip to aruba and his villa. as the outbreak became full blown, we were advised to leave early before the airport shut down. we spoke to the owner in person and followed up with facebook messenger messages where the owner , promised to refund a portion of our rental for the 3 nights we did not stay. i saved the messages, and can share if you would like to see them. once we returned to the states, i contacted the owner a week after to inquire the status of the refund. he commented he was so busy with this pandemic he hasn't had time, and that vrbo did not disperse the money to his account yet so he "can't refund what he hasn't received yet". three weeks later i contacted him again and he now states it is not his responsibility to refund anything, its vrbo's responsibility to refund the FULL portion. i have spoken to vrbo multiple times, they (VRBO) have refunded the "service fee" , they have dispersed the money into the owners account and it is expected that (the owner) refund the partial portion of the unused rental costs. THIS IS VRBO'S POLICY FROM THEIR WEBSITE: "Request a refund: We are strongly encouraging property owners and managers to issue at least a partial refund for situations in which a flexible credit can not be accommodated. Please contact the owner or property manager to discuss cancellation and refund options. Although they are not obligated to provide a refund beyond the terms of the rental agreement, those who do not offer flexibility are subject to penalties in our marketplace." The owner said "i will not be intimidated by their penalitie policy". Its a shame an owner with multiple rental properties takes advantage of hard working people who save up to take a vacation that ends with unforseen circumstances. i'm a firm believer in karma.

Aruba Family vacation

What a fabulous home!! We had plenty of room for 8 people to stay comfortably. The bedrooms were accommodating and the beds comfortable. The pool and hot tub met our needs, but why use them so much when the beach is so close. Palm Beach was an easy walk from the house. The shopping was close as well. I attended meetings at the Ritz Carlton, which was close as well. We met Helen on the first day! Wonderful lady and very helpful on guiding us in restaurant ideas and activities. The cooler, beach chairs, beach towels and umbrella were great additions! They made our beach outings much easier! We had an At Home Aruba chef prepare 2 dinners at the Fortress!! Wow!! How wonderful!! Would strongly recommend the Palm Beach Fortress to any with a large group. Thank Dr. Riley and Helen

Wonderful experience

This was a really good property. We were a group of 10 adults, enjoyed the separate sleeping quarters and the main house. Kitchen was nicely equipped, pool and jacuzzi were wonderful. Was a little tricky to locate and had taxi's circuling around numerous times but once we figured it out, was easy to get to. Definitely a great place for groups to enjoy the area! There were a few minor glitches but we worked around them and enjoyed our time there immensely! Highly recommend this Villa !

Helpful feedback to owner

The outdoor area needs to be maintained. Pool area needs to be power washed and a lot of the pool tile re-grouted. The hot water heater for the house needs replacement ( insufficient hot water for morning showers) overall review is that it has been neglected and needs some maintenance on a regular basis.

What a hidden gem

We really loved this properly. We felt as if we had our own oasis and privacy was of zero concern. The maid was really really nice as well. Everyone had their own bedroom and bed so that wasn’t a issue either. We would book here in a heart beat. The owner is a very nice guy and a surgeon so your in good hands literally 😉

Awesome home in Aruba

We had an amazing vacation. This house was perfect in all it's amenities and space for our family of 8. Loved the table on the front porch, having a private pool was great and it felt like home. Dr. Riley was an awesome host and very helpful with a medical issue for my brother soon after we arrived. We will be back!!

Fun family vacation

We had 6 adults and 8 kids with us and the house was perfect. Each family was able to have their own area. One family stayed in the guest house, a family upstairs, and a family on the main floor. We were able to walk to palm beach, the grocery store and the palm beach mall. We loved aruba!! The pool was great and the outdoor seating perfect. Emma was wonderful and so helpful. The wine delicious!! Thank you

Could have been 5 stars; however, ..........

First off we loved Aruba! It really did help that other than late afternoon, sleeping and early morning we weren't at the house. When we landed I reached out to the owner via the VRBO app as requested and was informed the home wasn't going to be ready on time as the previous renters left late. This wasn't a big deal as we took our time getting to the home. We stayed for 2 weeks. Now the owners: The good - the wife is very pleasant and does her best to accommodate. The bad - the doctor isn't! We had numerous things go wrong with the home. The washing machine starting leaking our first time using it.... Almost 2 weeks later it was finally fixed!! Then the home had a terrible smell... Turns out the septic tank needed to be pumped out and the timer was set to run the pump to move water out in the afternoon, should've been early morning per the Dr. Also, the gas tank the heats the hot tub was empty after the 3 day. Per the Dr. that was our fault! What? Turns out the guy who delivers the propane tanks said we didn't use it up he was a week behind changing out the replacements... Nice!! The A/C went out in the Master Suite upstairs also. Lucky for us the wife was on it and was fixed in 2 days. Again, could've been a 5 star but due to the Doctor it's a 3 star for us. I rented this house for my wife's 50th birthday because of the other reviews that were favorable but feel I should be full disclosure so others know what can happen if things go wrong. Still a great trip overall and home has tons of room BUT only talk to the wife is my strong recommendation!!!
