Casa del Mar Beach Resort Aruba

The resort and its setting

Casa del Mar Beach Resort is a beachfront property right on Eagle Beach, one of Aruba's best-known shorelines, in the J.E. Irausquin Blvd area of Oranjestad. Google reviewers give it 4.5 out of 5 stars, based on over 1,000 reviews, and the resort is generally described as family-friendly: outdoor pools, hot tubs, a kids' play area, and suites that lean toward the more spacious, apartment-style layout common to Aruba's timeshare resorts. It's listed simply as lodging, which fits its role as a straightforward beach resort rather than a resort-and-casino complex.

Being directly on Eagle Beach is the main draw. This beach is wide, uncrowded by Caribbean standards, and known for its calm, clear water and the iconic divi-divi trees leaning along the sand — a backdrop that appears in many Aruba postcards and photos.

The area and things to do

Oranjestad, Aruba's capital, is a short distance away and worth a visit for its pastel Dutch colonial architecture, duty-free shopping streets, and waterfront dining. Eagle Beach itself is quieter and more residential than the high-rise hotel strip further north at Palm Beach, which makes it popular with owners and renters who want beach time without the nightlife crowds on their doorstep.

Aruba's dry, sunny climate means consistently warm weather most of the year, with trade winds that keep things comfortable even in the hottest months. This is part of why the island markets itself as lying outside the main hurricane belt. Beyond the beach, popular day trips from this part of the island include Arikok National Park's desert landscapes and caves, the old gold mill ruins at Bushiribana, and the California Lighthouse at the island's northern tip.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Casa del Mar Beach Resort and are thinking about moving it on, or simply renting it out for a season, BidMyTimeshare.com operates as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to put the week up.

Casa del Mar Beach Resort is an independent property, so resale here is handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded exchange company's transfer desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth contacting the resort directly to ask about the current transfer fee, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, how long a transfer typically takes to process, and what the current annual maintenance fee is. None of these figures are published here, so get them in writing from the resort before you finalise anything — a resale buyer will take on the deeded or right-to-use week itself, but not necessarily any loyalty perks, banked points, or arrangements the current owner may have set up separately.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Anyone renting or buying a week here should expect a beach-first stay: the appeal is the location on Eagle Beach and the pool and hot tub facilities rather than an all-inclusive resort experience. Families tend to look closely at the kids' play area and suite layout, while couples and retirees are often drawn by the quieter pace of Eagle Beach compared with Aruba's busier beach strips. As with any Aruba timeshare, check which week or season is attached to the unit, since high season on the island runs through the northern winter months, when demand for beachfront weeks is at its strongest.

Getting there

Oranjestad and Eagle Beach are close to Aruba's main airport, making this a straightforward resort to reach for a one-week stay, and a convenient base for exploring the rest of the island without a long transfer on arrival.
