“We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in Aruba. Wacamaya Village and 14B worked very well for us – quality comfort and surroundings that made for a pleasant vacation from wake up to head on the pillow time. We met many lovely people at Wacamaya Village and around the island. It was so nice to have the washer/dryer, fully functional kitchen, BBQ on the verandah and internet access. What would we do differently? rent a car and cell phone to pick up on arrival at the airport. We will be recommending Wacamaya Village and in particular 14B to friends and family“.

Our stay at the Wacamaya condo was fantastic! We consider it a hidden jewel on what is our favorite island in the Caribbean. The condo was most confortable, and well furnished. We enjoyed the courtyard, with pool and cascading waterfall. Took advantage of the barbecue on several nights. The local food stores are well stocked, convinced we had the best steaks ever! Especailly appreciated the warmth and friendliness of owners and guests, we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. Planning another visit soon, expect it will be one of many Jane Cronk and Dave Adkins McLean, Virginia

Staying at the Wakamaya Apts was a real treat! Not only was it clean & comfartable, but but the huge pool, garden setting and the friendliness & warmth of both the renters and guests added much to our stay. We are in the process of booking again for 2009 !!

Hello Anita & Dave-
Thanks-our travels home were safe (but sad of course-we never want to leave Aruba once we get there!). Kathie & I were extremely pleased with our two week stay at the Wacamaya Apts. in unit 5B. Our entire experience working with you was fantastic-from the moment we contacted you regarding information about the apartments until we left. You were always very prompt and courteous regarding any questions or concerns we may have had-before our arrival and during our stay. Since we had taken care of all of the paperwork prior to our arrival, checking into the unit was about as easy as it gets. Upon our arrival at the airport, we found out that the car rental we had arranged was not available, and no other vehicles were available from any other agencies-so we had to take a taxi to the apartments. When we opened the door to unit 5b, a bottle of champagne on ice was awaiting us-what a wonderful and pleasant surprise! Thank you for attempting to find us an alternative vehicle. The grocery store across the street was also very convenient for us, especially that first night. We were able to get items for dinner as well as some cold beverages.
We enjoyed everything about the apartment and the rest of the Wacamaya property. The unit was spacious and very comfortable, and had everything we needed. The pool/garden area was beautiful and always very clean-and very peaceful. There were times we truly felt that we were the only ones there! All of the other tenants/guests that we met during our stay were very friendly. We also enjoyed using the grill a couple of evenings and having a nice quiet dinner on our balcony. The location of the apartments was also very appealing to us-as we tend to spend most of our time at the beaches and the high rise hotel area-both of which were within a few minutes driving. There are also several fine restaurants close by.
We have stayed at other rental units on the island during our previous trips to Aruba, and found Wacamaya to be the best so far. We look forward to our next visit to Aruba (and Wacamaya!).
Thank you again for everything.

Anita & Dave,
We wanted to thank-you for the oportunity to stay at Wacamaya this year. Although we are not new to Aruba, we were new to Wacamaya. We spent time in units 5B and 14B and enjoyed our stay in both. They were wonderful and unique in their own ways! They were very clean and had all we needed. On top of that, you and Dave were great and helped with any questions or concerns we had. We have been going to Aruba yearly since 1989 and have stayed at many of the high cost hotels and condos and these units were nicer than most and had all the privacy and comforts of home at a fraction of the price. Can't wait to return!

“The gardens, courtyard and pool area is absolutely gorgeous. The condo unit was extremely clean and had beautiful décor – you settle in and totally feel at home. This was our second visit to Aruba but first staying at Wacamaya and we’ll stay here whenever we visit from now on. Dave & Anita are the perfect hosts, providing suggested restaurants, and directions to various island attractions. Aruba and Wacamaya are the perfect vacation location. Rick and Jan”
Hi Anita and Dave -
Good to hear from you. Being Mr. and Mrs. now is so exciting for us. We had a wonderful, relaxing, and fun time in Aruba, and despite my usual tendency to get homesick, it was tough for us to leave. Thank you so much for offering us such a great place to stay. We wanted an experience outside of the usual hotel, and we got it; it felt like home to us. And now we understand why so many of the people that we talked to go back to Aruba year after year. :)
Thanks again,
Mark & Kelly
