Sea Breeze Apartments are located in the Pos Chikito area of the island, just a few blocks from Mangel Halto where there is some fantastic snorkeling. Years ago, I stayed here for several days. This week, I went back to visit an old friend who was staying there.
The Sea Breeze Apartments sit within a walled compound that ensconces the guest in quaint comfort. There are studio and one bedroom apartments for short and longer term stays. As seen below, there is a wood-fired BBQ, too.
There is also a large palapa hut where you can gather with your friends.
As you can see, this place is well-decorated and comfortable. It has a genuine feel as opposed to something that’s over-done. And don’t forget the pool, which is just big enough to cool off after lounging in the sun.
In the rear of the photo above, you can see one of the stand-alone apartments. The others are clustered around the central courtyard.
If you’re looking to get away from the high-rise hotel area of the island or for an experience different than renting a time share, try the Sea Breeze Apartments. You’ll be amidst a regular neighborhood, among other like-minded individuals, and generally enjoy a relaxing stay.
Bon dia from Aruba.
They had several guests wrapped around their little paws. Food and water was left for them, which they indulged in liberally before stretching out for a nap. They have it pretty good for a couple of strays. I hope they find a decent home and stay out of trouble.
Quite nice with those tensile fabrics overhead. And here is the bar.
They also offer the option of “eating in bed” but that’s not my thing so there is no photo here. Instead, let’s talk about the food. My wife started with the escargot, which she reports as very good. My friend began with calamari sauteed instead of fried. It was an interesting twist and tasty. I went with a plain old shrimp cocktail that met all expectations. Then came the entrees. My wife went with the grilled scallops shown here.
My friend’s wife choose the garlic shrimp, seen below.
My friend selected the red snapper filet.
Finally, I choose the broiled veal chop.
That was one delicious piece of meat, broiled to perfection with a flavorful sauce that did not overpower the natural essence of the underlying chop.
