I was looking for an inexpensive way to visit a new island and at the same time feel at home because originally I was going solo and most places charge an outrageous price for just one person. A friend recommended Buffam's Tropical Haven, she had already been there twice and was headed for her third visit, had nothing but great... More

Is not Bed or Breakfast. The pillowcases smell like sweat. The coffee seems like the wash from the coffee machine. People were rude. First day breakfast was an egg sandwich, very bad, and the next day were two pancakes, an inch thick, not cook in the middle. Maybe i am used to the Bed and Breakfast at US, but this... More

Staying with Rick and Sherrie have allowed us to truly experience Aruba, which would not have been possible in the hotel districts. The accomodations are clean and very well-appointed...ours had a large bathroom and a kitchen that allowed us to prepare meals when we did not feel like a restaurant. The grounds are absolutely stunning...complete with tropical plants of every... More

We rented three of the four suites at Tropical Haven, so we had the place mostly to ourselves and it truly felt like a home away from home. None of us were interested in the nightlife scene, the casinos, or the downtown action, so it was an ideal spot from us as it is located in a quiet neighborhood. The... More

First let us start by saying to Sherrie & Rick you made our brief stay the highlight of our 18 day stay in Aruba. We are giving fellow travelers a hint if you book Saturday to Saturday take few extra days in front or in back of your week and stay at Buffan's you will not be disappointed. You will... More

Wow what can I say about this place. It is out of this world. First of all, Rick and Sherrie go out of there way to make you feel like you are just at home. They are the most accomodating and gracious guests one can ask for. The fact that they were able to put up with my wife and... More

Sherrie and Rick are the best. If you are looking for a place to rest and get away this is it. Best cup of coffee on the island. Breakfast rocks and the laid back atmosphere allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of the Resorts. Our new Home away from home

Sherrie and Rick are very warm, attentive and welcoming hosts. Staying with the locals instead of the high rise hotels in the touristy spot is definitely our traveling style. What we like best was the large and clean apartment, which offers everything our family needed. The breakfast served each morning was delicious and plentiful. Breakfast time was the time where...

I must say that all the reviews are correct when they talk about Rick and Sherrie's hospitality. They certainly made us feel at home in Aruba. When we arrived they were there to greet us and show us around. There were some cool drinks in the fridge and they were able to answer any questions we had and offer some... More
