Beautiful house – you thought of everything!  The flowers, the pool and landscaping so pretty. A peaceful place!  One Happy Island equals many happy people.  Thank you.

I can’t thank you enough for sharing this beautiful home with us – taking us all over the island and showing us the beauty of Aruba!! This is a trip I will never forget and always smile when I think of it.  You are the best!  Much Love,

Thank you so much, we had a wonderful stay in the Dos Shoco Villa.  It was a trip down memory lane being able to show our kids my country of birth after 46 years.  Staying in this beautiful place which was so lovingly decorated and equipped really added tom the experience.  Highlights were swimming in the pool during sunset.  If we ever return we’d love to stay in this wonderful house again.  Love from Amsterdam!

 Our first trip to Aruba was wonderful. One week just isn’t enough, but we did as much as possible. Our first beach was Arashi and it was one of our favorites. A trip to the Natural Pool is an experience that will last a lifetime. Just the journey getting to the pool is an unbelievable trip. If you enjoy the undersea world, a snorkeling excursion is a must. Our last meal before returning home was Zeerovers. If you love seafood then don’t miss this spot. Live caught fish and shrimp that day cooked to order with a breathtaking view. Most important was the villa. It had everything we needed and the pool was awesome. At the end of each day it was comforting to know we had a place to stay that felt like home. We love you Rhonda!

  Dos Shoco is AMAZING. I was slightly nervous because there were so few reviews before we arrived. But we 'took a chance' and it was beyond anything we could have hoped for. We stayed for one month and had friends and family visit us while we were there. It was perfect for this set up because of the bathroom/bedroom layouts. Others could come and go and everyone could have privacy. We have a toddler as well and I was nervous because of the doors and the pool- however if anyone else is in a similar situation know that the doors can be locked from the inside and we had no issues with safety. The pool also has a great sun step/ledge that was perfect for toddler play. There were pool toys and we left some extras.

Manon and the property managers were extremely responsive and checked in often. We were in the pool every day multiple times, and eventually didn't bother with beaches because the house was so much more pleasant. Sunsets are GORGEOUS from the deck, and although you are 'far from the resorts' you are still 20 minutes from everything. You're also close to the trails for hiking or running. You will not regret a stay here- we already miss the lizards, constant breeze, and birds singing on the cacti. 

So happy to escape snow at home (!!!) and spend the month here. We were very lucky enough to have friends and family join us here, which is what appealed to us when looking for a place to stay. Everyone loved it here and the pool was a must. Thank you for opening up your home to us!

 A wonderful 2 week vacation at Dos Shoco! The perfect place to find both relaxation and fun filled days. The beach supplies were very much appreciated (chairs, towels, coolers, ice packs, snorkel, noodles…) WOW! Our favorite beach was Baby Beach. Who needs French fries when you can enjoy fresh fish, shrimp and calamari! (but the fries were great too). Some restaurants we enjoyed: Papiamento, Barefoot, Temptations, Chicken & Lobster, Linda’s, Lucy’s and Pepe Nacho’’s Food Truck (also Poffertjes – Dutch mini pancake truck at Palm Beach) Yum! So much great food. Visiting ostriches, donkeys, rugged terrain, beaches, DePalm Island, submarines, sailing, snorkeling… the activities are endless. The biggest compliment we can give is that Dos Shoco became our home. May future guests enjoy this villa as much as we did! Cheers!

 ARUBA is an Amazing Island the Villa was beautiful. This is a amazing place. The swimming pool in the backyard the constant breeze is wonderful. The villa had all the conveniences of home. Getting to any of beaches on the island was easy.  Thanks Again for a fabulous stay, look forward to staying here again in the future.

阿鲁巴是一个令人惊叹的岛屿，别墅很漂亮。 这是一个了不起的地方。 后院的游泳池不断的微风是美妙的。 别墅有家的所有设施。 到达岛上的任何海滩都很容易。 再次感谢您的美好住宿，期待将来再次入住这里。 樱桃

Thank you for the wonderful place. It was a great holiday with all facilities at hand. Everything was completely available. Thank you for your hospitality. It was a nice place to get some rest after hard work in Holland . It is very quiet and peaceful. The most beautiful moment was the sunset in the evening.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dos Shoco. The accommodations were comfortable, welcoming and also well equipped. The outdoor area was beautiful & relaxing &we spent a lot of time in the pool. We also enjoyed some of the highlights of the island, the park in a jeep, several beaches, the chapel & labyrinth, glass blowing & food at Murano’s. Other favorite restaurants – Papiamento’s, Azzurro’s, Daniel’s. Most of all we slowed down& refreshed our minds and bodies from the year of COVID. Thanks so much for a lovely stay. We’ll be back!
