The Monastery Estates.... hotel/apartments

[Andrea J.]

I have tons of questions and 0 answers.
I have written to them and have gotten no replies.

Is this place open or are they still building/renovating?
What was this place prior to becoming Monastery Estates?
Was it a house of worship?

Is this a hotel? Or a vacation rental place? Or a long term rental place?

I looked at the FB photos and I am trying to find words to describe it.
Please look at the FB photos (click the link) and if anyone has information about this place please share what you know.

I'm intrigued! I did a google search and found this website. https://monastery-estate.com/ There's not much on there but a brochure that can be downloaded with info. Looks like they opened up October 15.

From their website it sounds like it’s in the works. They say “will” be completely renovated; gift shop, library open 2018 and lofts open 2019. I would be curious as well.

Looks like a very unique place. We'll have to check it out.

a friend who lives in aruba sent me these photos.

her guess is this place is far from completion

her words "it is still a shell on a busy street between the roundabout at sero blanco and the u of aruba and post office."

walking distance to smit and doulas coffee house (YUM) and a few blocks from alfies.

Let's see if they finish before Acqua. That's only taken about 15 years to get where it is today.
