We had never been to Aruba so we were so happy we picked the ocean z. It is a small quaint hotel but very close to all the action. We rented a car and the parking was free. We met some amazing staff including Carolina, Maria and Andres. It was our anniversary and they made it so special with decorations in our room and in the restaurant. It was absolutely the best of the best.

Stayed here on our honeymoon. Place was amazing. Maria was extremely helpful and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Its quiet but convenient to the higher energy parts of the island. Great sunsets and the beaches right across the street are not as crowded and have good snorkeling. The included breakfast was wonderful and we also enjoyed dinner and drinks at the restuarant. This is a very small, very nice hotel and they took great care of us.

Ocean Z Boutique Hotel – A Romantic Hidden Gem If you’re looking for a peaceful, romantic escape on the quieter side of Aruba, Ocean Z Boutique Hotel is it. Tucked away on the northern coast, it’s perfect for couples wanting to disconnect and focus on each other. The atmosphere is intimate, serene, and far from the busy resort crowds. Breakfast was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Dinner was just as impressive. We highly recommend planning at least one night in; it was one of our favorite meals on the island. Arashi Beach, our go-to, is just minutes away, and the hotel offers complimentary rides, which made beach days effortless. The rooms were spotless and beautifully designed, with a super comfy bed, rose petals and champagne on arrival, and a stunning outdoor shower. Every detail felt intentional and elevated the stay. We had zero complaints and are already recommending Ocean Z to friends. Just a heads-up: taxis can take 20 minutes since it’s up north, so booking ahead helps. A truly special place—romantic, relaxing, and worth every moment.

This was my fiancé and I's 2nd time staying at Ocean Z Boutique and we are already looking to plan our third stay. Both times we have visited, we have felt like we were the only ones there because of how attentive the staff was to us. The complimentary breakfast is delicious, it is within walking distance from Arashi Beach, and the entire hotel experience is clean and inviting. The infinity pool is a nice little escape if you are not quite ready to head to the beach yet. If you are planning a beach day, they will provide you with beach chairs, towels, and a cooler with ice. Don't forget to try their amazing restaurant, you WILL NOT be disappointed! Cannot wait for our next trip, until then, see you soon!

Everything about this hotel was perfect for us. We had a room with the private infinity pool on our balcony. Amazing view, the pool was great. Staff was beyond kind and would offer to help with anything before you'd even think about needing help. Breakfast every morning was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Something to look forward to every morning. They heard us talking about going down to the beach during breakfast, and brought us a cooler with ice and 2 beach chairs, and we didnt even ask! It was perfect. Dinner is also very good. Can't say enough good things about this hotel. This was our first trip to Aruba, and we plan on coming back. When we do, I won't even bother looking at another hotel. This place is it for us. Special thank you to Maria and Herman for all they do!

We travel alot and stay in very nice resorts but decided to try something different this time. Ocean Z really spoiles us and has changed our prospective on accommodations whwn traveling. Our stay was so personalized and special and with only 13 rooms, very private. It was like am oasis from the hustle and bustle. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The bathroom shower is outdoors and adds such a romantic vibe and great for pics. The staff is amazing and truly provide hospitality that spoils you rotten. Leoncita and Maria were the absolute best!!!!! They truly worked together to make sure we had reservations, excursions, taxis, and a table set every morning for breakfast. We got a chance to met the owner Eva so that was exciting and her son. Im not sure if he was working or there to relax with his family but he helped several times and was SUPER nice! If you are looking for a personal experience, Ocean Z is the place. It's in a great location, the restaurant hands down was the best food we had the whole week. Seasoned to perfection! Thus hotel is truly one of a kind.

My wife and I just stayed at the ocean z hotel in Aruba. We were in suite 11 with an amazing view of the ocean. This hotel is beautiful. Very clean, quiet and away from the busy tourist areas. But if you want to go there it's only a 5 min drive up the road. The beach is a 3 min drive or 10 min walk. What sets this place apart by far is the staff. The staff is awesome. So attentive and friendly. Especially Maria. She took care of whatever we needed at any time. They had breakfast for us every morning and having dinner in their restaurant at night was a great experience. The only negative I can say is that the jets in our private pool were broke and could not be fixed until our last day. Small price to pay for how amazing everything was. I highly recommend and will absolutely stay there again. We loved it.

The food was excellent, the pool was really nice, and location is superb, if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing, nature-first experience. We has a delicious fresh breakfast each morning, walked to the beach, snorkeled with fish and sea turtles (!!) and came back to relax in the pool, have a glass of wine on our balcony, etc. The only reasons we didn't give this 5 stars is because our room (the mini master suite) was much smaller than anticipated, and unfortunately there was a sewage smell/situation which was unpleasant for a full 24 hours of our time here. Other than that, the owners, mgmt, folks in service, etc. were phenomenal!

I would absolutely come here, without any hesitation, for our next couple visit. The only areas that needed improvement were very minor, so it didn't bother us at all. Our shower seemed to be missing a door, so water splashed everywhere outside of the shower. The controller arrows and 'ok' for the HDMI source 1 (tv apps) never worked, so we could only watch cable. Neither issue was a big deal at all, so we did not notify the property of this during our stay. This property was SOOOO quiet, it was a nice retreat from our loud, busy lives. The entire property is gorgeous and leaves you with such a sense of tranquilty. The pool and solarium are a wonderful area to take a break from salt water. There are beaches close by that are within walking distance.

We just had an absolutely fantastic visit to Aruba (Aug 5-10, 2024). Ocean Z is a boutique and very small hotel. I am providing the good and the room for improvement items. Good: - Amazingly good staff; very attentive and very prompt - Very close to Tres Tapes (snorkeling for turtles) - Quiet and away from the "party zone" of Aruba (we loved that) Room for improvement: - We had 2 pool suites; bathrooms were awesome. However you literally can't use the toilet from 7:30am - 11am because it's so hot. Maybe a screen should be put in the bathroom that can be drawn down - The lack of privacy when using the pool or stepping out of the rooms and the dining room is right across is very strange - Modify breakfast menu once every couple of weeks or every month? Even though we loved our stay, the staff, etc., we would not go back to Ocean Z - It's too expensive for what it offers - One day there was a party which took over the entire hotel and we were informed about it, the day off. We could not even park our car in the small parking lot We understand it's a small hotel (7-8 rooms), but when one is paying ~$500/room/night, one does expect a little bit more

Overall, this was a serene and unique property. The vaulted bedroom ceiling, semi-private balcony pool, and modern looking bathroom were very enjoyable and memorable. However, some of the closet drawers were broken or didn't slide well, there was no exhaust fan for the bathroom, and the wind made constant noises at night (need to improve this). The staff was fantastic and most accommodating though. I would definitely stay here again.

We picked this hotel specifically for its location near some of the islands best beaches and snorkeling locations, as well as for its separation from the mega-properties down the way. We chose the most modest room, which was well appointed and cleaned every day while we were at breakfast(included). Everyone we met, staff and guests, were wonderful!

Well I was under the impression based on all of the travel apps that there was one room left. Well this was not the case. I was the only one in the hotel. The entire hotel was vacant. It is not walkable to any convenience stores or shopping. The beaches there are full of coral reef and rocks. It is across the street from the beach. The breakfast was perfect. If you choose dinner at their restaurant you can expect to pay some awfully high prices compared to the rest of the island. I asked Leoncita if there were any places to shop and she mentioned to me that I shouldn't be shopping on my vacation. Regardless she sent me to a rundown area in the city which made me uncomfortable once I left my car and walked to the shopping areas. I had to find out on my own that there was a hotel zone which was 5 minute drive from where the hotel was. It was very active and full of tourists and action. And this is the type of vacation that I wanted. So I decided to leave the hotel and transferred to the Hyatt Regency. I was not given any refund but I did not expect it. I was so unhappy there because I was all by myself that I actually paid for another hotel in an area where there were people and assortments of restaurants and food and shopping etc. I cannot complain about the hotel it was a very beautiful hotel and a wonderful staff. It would be a very romantic hotel for couples. I blame myself for going to a boutique hotel. It just wasn't for me. I still enjoyed my stay while I was there.

OceanZ is a quiet Ocean front oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Palm Beach, yet only minutes away by car, taxi or bus. It is the best of both worlds. It is right across from Malmok beach and Tres Tapi for easy access to snorkeling. The staff and food are beyond compare. We ate breakfast daily and had dinner twice during our stay. Our best meals were at Ocean Z.

Arashi Beach, our go-to, is just minutes away, and the hotel offers complimentary rides, which made beach days effortless. The rooms were spotless and beautifully designed, with a super comfy bed, rose petals and champagne on arrival, and a stunning outdoor shower. Every detail felt intentional and elevated the stay. We had zero complaints and are already recommending Ocean Z to friends. Just a heads-up: taxis can take 20 minutes since it’s up north, so booking ahead helps. A truly special place—romantic, relaxing, and worth every moment.

Beautiful property. We loved the pool in particular. Excellent restaurant. Included breakfast was wonderful. Ocean Z is known for service and proved it. We had some difficulties adding a night when our travel unexpectedly changed. Xiomara in particular personified the high level of service to make it happen. We will be back!

Really enjoyed my stay. Conveniently stocked refrigerator. Excellent location to take walks not far from main tourist area of Palm Beach. Very safe and quiet if you want to go out at night. Excellent complimentary breakfast.

Great location and lovely atmosphere. If you are looking for quiet no fuss relaxation, this is your place. The lovely, Miami like interior courtyard, nice clean rooms and open bathroom are all geared towards helping guests feel a zen like calm:) the staff is nice and helpful, just remember that umbrellas at Arashi beach cost 70 but it is the best beach and so worth it. We did go to ritz beach and it had seaweed and none of the vibe of Arashi. So pay the money and hang out at Arashi you won’t regret it. For us the shampoo etc were not luxuries as much as the late check out and general freedom to relax. That stuff can be bought, time is the real rarity. Highly recommend this small hotel!good restaurant, extremely pricy kind you, but nice food and slow service. No one rushes which isn’t a bad thing! Breakfast was also nice- no waste and enough food! We shall be back for sure if the hotel maintains its chill, sleepy energy!

OceanZ is a quiet Ocean front oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Palm Beach, yet only minutes away by car, taxi or bus. It is the best of both worlds. It is right across from Malmok beach and Tres Tapi for easy access to snorkeling. The staff and food are beyond compare. We ate breakfast daily and had dinner twice during our stay. Our best meals were at Ocean Z.
