  Great location, great for kids but beware of Room 2158

  We were able to check in 2 hours early to one of our rooms - but when entering the room the mildrew smell just about knocked you on the floor - they provided two dehumidifiers that we had to run 24/7 emptying full buckets of water for our entire stay. We were only in the room to sleep so we made due. the pool area was great and it had olenty of seating, we only ventured to the beach after 5pm which was enjoyable watching the sunsets. It was a great vacation for our Grandkids they loved everything.

  Shady

  While no place is perfect, I just wanted to express that the resort made a typo and charged my room the wrong amount of money for something I bought. When I noticed the charge error, I brought it up to the store employee who kept telling me there was nothing she could do. Then I tried talking to the front desk and the employee just stared at me blankly. Don't trust this place to do the right thing because they aren't bothered by committing fraud.

  Good Hotel/Beach is Amazing

  I have stayed here in the past-I believe I stayed in one of the owner condos that time-which were a lot nicer than their offered resort rooms-nonetheless, here goes my review of a recent stay. I stayed with my family in the 1 bedroom villas, near the golf course. We had 2 adjoining rooms. The rooms were very spacious, each had 2 baths and 2 showers and had a good sized kitchen, dining area and open space for a pullout couch. Very spacious, so I would say you do get a lot for your stay here in terms of space. The beds were definitely comfortable, the pullout not so much. The rooms are definitely in need of a major sprucing up, but we did look past a lot of things because we were on the beach, in the tropics and on vacation. I had an issue with my room, with mold and mildew. From the moment you walked in to the room you get a strong mildewy smell. There were some moldy spots as well. The adjoining room had none of these issues. For some reason, my room was extremely damp. I brought this up to the front desk and they were willing to immediately accommodate, but I had adjoining rooms so it was tough to do on a busy week. For the time being, they put a dehumidifier in the room, which did help, but had to be emptied every 3-4 hours. Later on in the week, they did offer 2 adjoining rooms close by, but by that time we had 2 days left so nobody wanted to move. I have no problem with the staff at this hotel, especially the front desk-they tried to accommodate and were always available. Getting around the resort is easily walkable. There are shuttles that run erratically and sporadically that can take you from close to your room, to the beach or other areas you may need to visit. The grounds of the hotel are neat and clean. The infinity pool area could use a good power washing, there are a ton of slippery spots. The restaurants at the hotel are decent and can always seat you. There is a small shop at the lobby as well as a coffee take out from 7am-12pm. You can visit the restaurants to take out coffee as well. There are all inclusive options here, but I would not opt for that at this hotel. There is plenty of parking should you have a car rental. Now I will tell you about the beach. A 3-5 minute walk from the hotel brings you to one of the nicest beaches on the island. Now, while this hotel is not on the beach, and you have to walk a little bit and cross a street, it is a very good location. The beach is stunning. There are palapas that are their for use, and an attendant to help you with the chairs, that are locked up. Like at every resort, there are people that get there at the crack of dawn to put towels and other items out to claim their spot, but it's not as bad as other resorts. This resort is located in the low rise hotel section and has easy access to their other resorts, as well as closer to the airport and Oranjestad. If you want to go to the high rise hotel section, its a 7-10 minute car ride. Personally I prefer the location of this hotel, as it is not as busy and closer to one of the nicest beaches in the world-Eagle Beach. You could walk there.

  Great, but you might want to avoid the All Inclusive

  We just returned the Divi Village Golf and Beach Resort. It's an excellent resort, but doing "the math" on the all-inclusive might save you money. The cheapest all-inclusive (Signature) is $225/person/day and allows you to dine at around 7 restaurants that are all conveniently located on or near the property. I would say that unless you drink like and fish and gold every day, you will NOT get your money out of it. The main benefit of an all-inclusive for us is the food. At $225/person/day, you're looking at $75/person/meal/day (assuming 3 meals/day). Let's assume you do not have the all-inclusive and plan to just pay out-of-pocket for your meals. A hearty breakfast at Sea Breeze will run you about $25/person. If you indulge, you probably won't be hungry at lunch. And then a first class dinner will likely run you about $75/person. So you've spent $100/person/day instead of the all-inclusive fee of $225/person/day. Where the all-inclusive might be worth it is if you golf every day because the green fees and cart are free. However, if you didn't bring your own clubs, that'll run you $50/person. Also, if you have 8-10 drinks everyday at $7-$12 each, you might breakeven on the all-inclusive. We found that other things included in the all-inclusive (shuttle, beach loungers) were included even without the all-inclusive, so that's a non-starter. Bikes and rock climbing are included, so that might also get you to breakeven. Other couples we met who were staying for a week got the all-inclusive form 3 days (which is the minimum you can get) and then paid out-of-pocket for the rest. This might also be better than getting if for entire week, or longer. Even on days when we over-indulged on food and drank at breakfast (mimosas), lunch (beer, punch), and dinner (wine, cocktails), we never got to the $225 threshold. Or worse, we just weren't hungry at dinner. You also have to keep in mind that if you book a tour (ie sunset cruise, bike tour, etc.), you won't be around the resort to dine, so that's just wasted money on the all-inclusive. We will definitely go to this resort again. We won't, however, get the all-inclusive.

  Happy we picked here

  the resort was clean, well kept and landscaping was beautiful. The staff were all accommodating, helpful and friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean. The shuttle service, at times, was quite welcome in the heat. We felt safe at all times. Absolutely beautiful sunsets. There were 4 of us and we never had a problem getting a chair at the pool or the beach. My two complaints were a way too springy bed and a 15% service charge at some of the restaurants but the wait staff still expected a tip
