Coral Reef Beach

Great small resort located on quieter side of island, with only nine apartments. Rooms are clean but simple, with refrigerator and coffee maker. The property is right on the water. Plenty of lounge chairs, which are available to free for guests to use: snorkel equipment, kayaks, and floats. There is also a full community kitchen, gas grill, and outdoor dining room. Staff is welcoming and keep the property clean, and well maintained. A great little oasis!

Relaxing Island Atmosphere. If you like fancy high end resorts, go elsewhere. If you want sand in your toes, community style accommodations, water for snorkeling, kayaking, or swimming, then stay here. This is a small island styled resort that is so relaxed. Two excellent restaurants within short walking distance. Abundance of supermarkets close by, some are walkable. The location is more local community then resort community, which is my preference. The staff were incredibly nice and greeted me upon arrival. The rooms were clean and island styled. Water views from most rooms. A/C worked great when needed, but I usually had my balcony double doors open to feel the island breeze. Other guests were very friendly and sharing. I would definitely stay here again and start off each day sitting on the dock of the bay. Beautiful blue lights in the water made the dock a perfect place to relax at night.

Our 2nd visit to CRBA this year. Such a wonderful, relaxing, carefree paradise. It's not for everyone - spotty wifi; no hot water (not necessary); well south of the popular beach resorts; and, the rooms are a bit small. It defines Bohemian getaway. CRBA is charming for what it has, not for what it doesn't have. An excellent staff, magnificent sunsets, adjacent to two of the finest restaurants on Aruba, and an unmatched waterview a few barefoot steps away.

This was my first time to Aruba and I can honestly say I made a great choice. My room was squeaky clean, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Waking up to the waterfront each morning was my favorite part of the day. There is a safe to store your valuables, clean bedding, great AC, no bugs. My first night on the island I had a reservation for the flying fishbone and watched the sunset while having dinner. The showers were also refreshing after a hot day, I’d say they’re almost warm not freezing cold so don’t worry about the water. The communal kitchen was really convenient to heat up leftovers and the mini fridge in the room was convenient as well. After a long day it was nice to watch Netflix at night in the room. Zeerovers (which I think has some of the freshest seafood on the island) is only a few blocks down. If you do stay here you will need a rental car or take taxis to get to Eagle and Palm beach. There’s some great snorkeling on Baby Beach and the food at the beach bar there is great. I rented a car which gave me a lot of freedom to explore the island. In savaneta I felt safe and locals were friendly and a lot of them spoke English. I highly recommend coral reef if you’re looking for a quiet getaway but definitely rent a car.

Coral Reef Beach Aruba was the most wonderful thing I experienced in Savaneta. My fiancee and I enjoyed the peace and quiet, the ambiance, the service everything about it was truly amazing. We were welcome with Grace and Superior hospitality and felt right at home. We highly recommend staying here if you want something that's away from the tourist side of the island with more privacy and I can't forget it being a neighbor to the absolute best restaurant in the entire island The Flying Fishbone! We will definitely be returning soon thanks so much for having us!

Amazing place to stay, great amenities, Flying Fishbone next door is a great restaurant. Great location in a quiet area. Close to some great beaches. Hosts are amazing!

I loved it here! An amazing trip and being right next to the flying fish couldn’t be beat

If you are interested in a place to stay away from the loud noises, over crowed beaches and great restaurants, than this is the place. You have your own small private beach with access to kayaks, snorkel gear and more. There is a small shaded cove where you can sit with your feet in the water and listen to the waves and when you’re ready you can go for a swim. I was celebrating my anniversary and arranged with the staff to have flowers, Processco, and a Charcuterie platter in my room when we arrived. My flight was delayed 2 hours but when we stepped in the room there were rose petals on the bed and the Processco was in a bucket with ice and the Charcuterie board was in the mini fridge. My wife cooked in the shared kitchen a few nights and we went out to dinner a few nights. We loved our stay. There is no sea**** or fighting for beach chairs. There is a nice size deck (Jetty) with chairs and loungers which I sat at every morning to listen to the wave and look at the fish. There are no beach umbrellas and it does get hot. Overall our stay was great. Erik and Jenny the managers were always available wether I was emailing before my trip or when I was there to answer questions. Graciella keeps the rooms clean and Victor makes sure the property is kept up. There is a Supermarket close by. A 15 minute walk and they sell alcohol. :)

I stayed for a lovely 3 days and was extremely pleased with the location, facilities and staff. The manager is very attentive and welcoming. My room was comfortable with a gorgeous view. The ocean is right outside your door. My favorite thing to do was to sit under the tree near the shore in one of the beach chairs and just let the warm water wash over me. There’s some really cool seafood restaurants nearby where you sit on the water. I felt completely safe as a solo female traveler and hope to return again someday soon!
