Tierra Del Sol Country Club
Hotel Information: Tierra del Sol Resort & Country Club, a Mediterranean-inspired resort, sits on 600 rolling acres of native bushes and cactus, which contrast dramatically with the lush green golf course. While golf is a principal attraction, many guests—primarily couples—choose the resort for its isolation, tranquility, and off-beach pricing.
Insider tip: Approximately 1 km (0.75 mi) from the resort, the California Lighthouse has stood at the island's northern tip since 1910. Although visitors are not permitted inside, the lighthouse is a popular attraction because of the surrounding moonlike landscape and the sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea from the hilltop.
This Mediterranean-style, Aruban resort offers 111 one- and two-story privately owned villas. Each one- and two-story building contains two or four units. Villas are furnished according to owners' tastes. All include furnished balconies or patios with golf-course or island views. Fully equipped kitchens have four-burner ranges, microwave ovens, and dishwashers. Two TVs in each unit provide U.S./international cable channels.
Guests receive a welcome basket of coffee, tea, milk, sugar, wine, beer, soft drinks, cereal, crackers, cheese, and cookies. DVD players and VCRs are available for rent.
