Villa Carpe Diem - Grande Evasion - Dream Paradise

Awsome trip

We had a great stay! Excellent location close to everything and the house was comfortable and relaxing, especially the patio and pool.

Villa Carpe Diem was the most perfect spot for seven girl friends vacationing together for the week! Plenty of room for all and cooking/grilling there some saved us quite a bit. Such a great value, Having a washer and dishwasher was so nice. Everyone loved the pool! We truly loved our stay and would definately return.Now for the amazing and personal service of our hosts? PHENOMENAL!!!! Communication was perfect in every way.Rixt help arrange two of the seven to “sneak in” the day before in order to put together a suprise 50th Birthday party for our dear friend and she was happily shocked! We were met by Daniel and he was such a warm, welcoming, laid back and WONDERFUL HOST!!! Please do not ever hesitate booking with The Marin Team, they are amazing folks with top notch accommodation's.

Villa Carpe Diem in Noord, through Casa Mia, was not only an incredible value (one fourth of the price of the big name all-inclusive resorts on the coast) but it set the stage for a perfect adventure in Aruba. Centrally located for so many island excursions and beaches, Villa Carpe Diem is south of Arashi Beach and east of Hadicurari Beach and Tres Trapi, but generally in the north central part of the island. We found Noord close enough to the west coast beaches, while also placing us nearer to more adventurous locales in the east, i.e. the Ostrich Farm, Arikok National Park, Conchi natural pool, etc. Only fifteen minutes north of Oranjestad, and about ten minutes from Eagle Beach, this really was the perfect location. We still made it down to Baby Beach (fifty minutes south).The property itself was immaculate. Flanked by a wrought-iron fence, there was plenty of space for our whole crew and the setup at the pool in the back helped bridge the busy days into dinner plans, giving everyone time to wind down, relax and enjoy the space. Having a washer and dryer was clutch, the unique floor plan was really well designed for each group to kind of have their own little nook, and there was even a local grocery store and cafe/coffee shop less than a minute down the road.It really was an incredible, perfectly located and beautifully maintained property that we would easily come back to and visit again. Thank you Daniel and the Casa Mia group.

Property was just as expected. Well maintained, clean and perfect for our group.
