La Cabana Aruba

We have an exchange for a 1BR at La Cabana for President's week, unit 136C. There is also a studio available, unit 238B. I put it on hold.

I have heard that the studios are actually more desirable because they are the same sq. footage as the 1BRs but the bed is not right next to the door and the hallways can get noisy.

Also, is it more desirable to get a 2nd floor unit for the view? I heard the 1st floor patios are bigger than the 2nd floor balconies?

Thanks to anyone who can comment on this.

That one bedroom has a king bed and a killer location facing the pool. You can go in and out your balcony door using your key. Bring ear plugs if the noise concerns you. The higher floor units have very narrow balconies. We tend not to use them but the patio units are great.

Jacki,

Sounds like heaven to be in Aruba in Feb!

On the first floor, I'd take a one bedroom because of what Pat says: you can come in and out of your room from the patio door so the layout won't seem weird. (it definitely feels weird walking into the bedroom from the hall IMO).

If I'm above the first floor, I'd go for a studio.

Enjoy!!!

I agree that the layout of the one bedrooms is a bit odd, and would always take a studio instead except if I were on the 1st floor.

Thanks, both of you, for the input. I let the 2nd floor studio go and kept the 1BR. I guess I'm lucky to have found anything in Aruba for President's week!

I am terribly jealous with the weather we have had. Have a super time!
