Diamante 138c · CASA Jewel

We stayed at the property in Gold Coast over New Years. The overall experience was terrific, and the property itself was wonderful. It was exactly the way it was described in the listed and offered all the amenities. We would definitely stay here again.Our only note was the communication with the property manager. I don’t use WhatsApp and that is how they communicate. I was messaging them over the Vrbo chat and not hearing back and they were messaging me over WhatsApp and I wasn’t’ getting their messages.In the end it all worked out but for future it may be helpful to list the preferred method of communication in the booking so renters can be prepared upon arriving to Aruba.

Community is beautiful. Great accommodations and smooth check-in process. I loved that the lock on the front door was a physical key, vs. a code (which feels less secure/more vulnerable). We loved having the dishwasher, two bathrooms, and a washer-dryer, which reduced the amount of clothes we needed to pack for 2 weeks. We also loved the private patio and grill, since we didn't eat out every night and my husband loves to grill. We didn't eat in the restaurant (Salinas) in the clubhouse, but it seemed nice. We did use the gym in the clubhouse every day, though. I'm not sure why pictures of the gym aren't included in the listing, but it's got 2 ellipticals - which is what we used, 2 treadmills, 1-2 bikes, and maybe 6 different weight machines. Definitely sufficient to get a good sweat in! But bring your sunglasses if you go in the morning, beause for some reason no one thought to put sunshades on the windows, so the bright sun beams right in. In addition to your own food, spices, etc, you definitely need to bring/shop for laundry detergent, soap for showering/hand washing, shampoo/conditioner, toilet paper, paper towels, and kitchen garbage bags. (They provided a sponge and some soap in the kitchen, but neither was appealing so we also bought our own dish soap and sponge for the dishes.) They provided plenty of dishwasher pods, so no need to bring those. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you have a car and want to be away from the crowds on Eagle/Palm beaches!

Nice location with beaches close by. Definitely would rent again

Very nice and very clean condo. It’s a second floor unit so there is about 18 stairs outside to climb up. Everything is exactly as seen in the pictures, outside patio area has a brand new gas BBQ and covered area with patio table and chairs and a second beautiful covered area with two couches and recliner chair and table. Comes with a cooler and folding chairs for the beach, we bought a beach umbrella and left it there for the next guests to use at the beach as well. Drain in one of the showers doesn’t slope properly so the water pools to one end and needs to be squeegeed to get rid of the water, really needs to fixed. The complex is gated and very safe, a rental car is a must to get around but everything is is very close, 5 to 10 minutes from beaches , restaurants and stores. Highly recommend this place and would definitely come back and stay here again.
