Arue Holiday Packages

Very convenient for the port and the city itself. Rooms were really tiny and bathroom was larger especially the shower. All our suitcases had to stand in the narrow space between the bed and the wall making it an obstacle race to even navigate across the room. There was a lot of construction noise during the day which made it hard to get any catch up sleep for us with jetlag. Sometimes it felt like you had a 1000 drills hammering your head at the same time. Some people at the front desk like Noorea were more helpful than others. Breakfast seemed pretty basic continental so did not feel the steep charge of $35 per person

Best part was the location - right across the street from the ferry terminal and cruise port (as well as shopping and food). Room was great. Large and comfortable with a balcony over the street, but dual windows kept out the noise. We didn’t use the restraint, but the casual snack place was good, though pretty spendy (but typical for the area $11 for a beer, $22 for a cocktail). The open air Lounge was nice to hang out in after check-out. Would definitely stay here again!

Check -in: Confusing. Great greeting..then we were ushered to have a seat in main reception area without being told why. We just wanted to check in and be shown our hotel. After 10 min or so, we were greeted again and then told to scan a an online app on a little board in front of us, and fill out online forms ourselves to check in, and most importantly give our credit crd for incidentals, meaning everything we buy,drinks, lunch,etc. would be billed to room. Along with any damage We finally got our room, and it was great! We got the garden pool suite for first 3 days and Overwater Villa for last 2 days. Both were great! No minibars, which was a surprise. But we got water. For the garden pool Villa, we stayed swimming in the little dunking pool and lounging in the completely closed off yard all day and night. It was great having the option to go au natural! The Overwater Villa we got, (418) was one of the furthest out, and the deepest water, which was kind of nice, since we could view some adult sharks swimming back and forth in front of the villa. You can also climb down and snorkle among the coral to see beautiful fish. Not a ton, but enough. It was a little difficult to get around the coral to explore beyond without going around into the deep where the sharks are, but apparently the sharks are harmless, but I didn't want to test it, so I did not go too far. The villa was beautiful and there was an ice station right on the boardwalk. Pool close too. Wish they t

Cute and cozy. Loved that the pool was open 24hrs.
