Fernando & Ian were amazing hosts. We really enjoyed them & their company. It's a very unique Hotel full of art & stories. Our bungalow however I found to be gloomy. The kitchen had no sponge and very watered down dish detergent. 1 plate & bowl with no paper towels or napkins. The bathroom was extremely dated with 1 tiny round mirror and really bad lighting also the sink was clogged so we had to brush our teeth and wash our faces in the kitchen. Good water pressure in the shower though. If this bungalow didn't lead to the most magical garden I would have switched properties. It's beautiful & at night if you can imagine it was even more magical!! That along with Fernando & Ian was this propertys saving grace for us. If your looking for something different this may be the stay for you.

This was absolutely a beautiful experience. You will find art everywhere you look in the hotel. From the entire outside to everything inside. Art is beautiful and is everywhere. If you want a true Aruba experience and not stay at the same ol type of place then House of Mosiac is the place for you. The owner Fernando is so welcoming and loving and truly cares about his hotel. And the bartender Ian is also an amazing person. Between the both of them i wanted for nothing. I truly recomend staying here. It's where I'll be when I return.

I enjoyed my stay at Mosaic. There was a minor issue in the early part of my trip but it was rectified and all was well. I stayed in the Narnia room, which gave me more than enough space. The drinks at the bar are unique and tasty. also want to call out the AC, kept my room nice and cold throughout my stay. Fernando and Ian are really cool people. I especially enjoyed celebrating my birthday with them and an amazing group of people. My sister also worked with Freya (amazing concierge) to arrange a personal birthday surprise. Overall a great find, and I plan to come back, highly recommended. Tips: Transportation: Rent a car at the airport, you'll need this to explore Aruba independently.. plus taxis add up. I made the mistake of renting after the fact and I feel like the price was nearly double. Food: While the hotel provides food it requires a 24hr request in advance. I ate out everyday, exploring different places based on local recommendations, other travelers and Google. Recommendations: Dutch PancakeHouse, Perfert Shot Cafe, Wendy's (good last resort), Hanasaki Sushi Bar, L.G Smith's Steak & Chop House, Old Cunucu House, I didn't try but heard Zeerover is worth a visit. Cost-- Aruba is expensive. Expect to pay more than what seems fair. Bring cash, you pay less since fees are not added like w/ credit. Health-- If you don't know, the sun is no joke in Aruba, bring plenty of sunscreen, reapply frequently, especially at the beach and apply sun aftercare (e.g. Aloe).

Fernando, Ian & company were all very nice and accommodating - felt right at home & even though I was back and forth hanging out with family at another hotel, it was still nice to see them and have this spot to call home for a few days. Thanks again!

Fernando is my new BFF! The House of Mosaic is a masterpiece of artistic inspiration, peacefulness, and love. Everything about the villa and Fernando were tastefully coordinated to bring out what we needed, peace and a refreshing new start. Fernando thank you for being you, and making us remember who we are. You opened your home and gave us sanctuary. Thank you my new friend. See you again very soon!
