Before booking the Sasaki Apartments, we read a lot of positive reviews here on TripAdvisor. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. Since the price is reasonable we didn’t have high expectations, but this was way worse than any hotel we’ve ever stayed at.
We knew that the place was built years back, but was supposed to be clean. Not really. On the floor we found lots of long dark hair which was so disgusting. We told our 3-year-old not to play on the floor. I didn’t take of my flip flops once.
The bed cover and blanket didn’t look that nice and were taken off immediately. The bedside lamps were very dated and curtains as well.
In the kitchen, the ceiling lamp seems to have had better days and should’ve been replaced long ago. The microwave would have been a great nostalgia from the 80’s, if that’s what we wanted. The shelves in the fridge were full of rust and kept us awake the whole night by sounding like two jumbo jets passing by.
The bathroom area included a safe with no lock (we could probably get one in the reception, but didn’t get the information), a rusty tissue holder that they didn’t even bother filling up.
What really made us tip over the edge was the sign which said “Please don’t throw toilet paper in the wc” and the only option for this was throwing the toilet paper in an open bin with a transparent plastic bag in it. After going to the reception asking about it, an older lady was really ignorant letting me know that if everyone threw it in the wc, it would’ve caused a stop in the pipes. That meant absolutely no privacy to us, staying at three different places at previous stays (most of them small) in Aruba and never heard anything alike.
Our planned seven nights stay turned out to be only a one night stay.
Disliked: Basically everything, including having to pay for an extra night without staying there
Liked: Checking out!
