People, PLEASE, do yourselves a favor and NEVER go to this horrible place. I have been in many countries around the world and I have never been treated sooooo bad in my entire life. The owner of this place in Aruba is the worst imaginable human being you will ever have to encounter. She is disrespectful beyond words and the... More

I never actually got a chance to stay here, but with all the red flags I got it probably was for the best. I emailed this hotel at the beginning of October requesting a two night stay at the end of December. I received one response back in Spanish, and then two more in English after I informed them that... More

My wife and I are airline employees and got "bumped" off of our flight on the last day of our Aruba trip. A fellow employee (who was also bumped twice with her three other travelers) was returning to the Malibu Suites and suggested it to us. Newly renovated rooms, still working on some. Only 15 units. Tiny but nice pool... More

The service at the Malibu Suites was acceptable. However, our experience with the owner was not so nice. She was rather rude and unfriendly. We loved the room and the cleanliness and the cleaning team was very pleasant. The area felt safe. There are security cameras everywhere and the front entrance is locked at all times. The kitchen did not... More

Have to agree with previous reviewer. Generally a good little place. Very clean rooms with nice little pool and BBQ area. Location a little far from the action, but not too bad. Good value for money. However, the service was just AWFUL. The owners were hardly ever there to let guests in which meant other guests often had to double... More

I stayed here in December 2010 with a group of friends. The rooms are fine, however the service is just horrible. I've never ever in my life been treated this badly by a host.

We just returned from a week long vacation in Aruba. We stayed at Malibu suites and were very happy with our experience there. It is a small complex with 8 apartments and the owners (Robert, his wife and daughter) live on site. Robert was very helpful and assisted us with dealing with lost luggage, directions, restaurant suggestions, beaches and general... More

We first heard about Malibu Suites from an ad on one of the Aruba BB's. The pictures on their web site looked nice, but I could not find a thing on the internet about the place and was a bit nervous about booking there, having had bad results before by depending only on the pictures posted by a property. Well... More
