Dec 11, 2025Extremely Disappointing Stay – Not the All-Inclusive Experience We Paid For.
We recently stayed at the Holiday Inn All Inclusive Resort in Aruba, and unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected—especially for the price we paid. Check-In Experience Our problems started the moment we arrived. Because of an issue caused by JetBlue Vacations, we needed assistance at check-in. Instead of empathy or any willingness to help, the concierge staff was dismissive and cold. The attitude was “business only,” with zero concern for how stressed or confused we were. When we asked for proof of the issue they claimed existed, the concierge couldn’t provide anything. A manager got involved, but the treatment was exactly the same—unhelpful, unsympathetic, and uninterested in any kind of resolution. We felt uncomfortable, unwelcome, and completely unsupported right from the beginning of our trip. “All Inclusive” That Really Isn’t The biggest disappointment: the so-called “all inclusive” package is not truly all inclusive. • Kids’ meals: Even though we paid for them to be all inclusive, kids are forced to order only from the limited kids’ menu. They do not have access to the regular menu like adults. • Kids needing adults to sign for drinks: Anytime the kids wanted a drink, an adult had to walk over and sign a receipt. Very inconvenient and unnecessary. • Drink limitations: Adults could only order two drinks per person at a time. When you’re a group of eight, it means everyone has to get up and go to the bar constantly. On top of that, you always have to sign receipts—again, very inconvenient for an all-inclusive resort. • Rude bartenders: At Seabreeze, several bartenders made us feel like we were inconveniencing them when ordering even basic drinks. Drinks we had the night before at the Agave restaurant suddenly became “not available.” We felt judged and treated differently for wearing the red all-inclusive bracelets. This is the opposite of how guests should feel on vacation. The Misleading $150 Hotel Credit We were told we would receive a $150 hotel credit that we could use during our stay. This was extremely misleading. • It could only be used for bottled drinks and gelato. • It could not be used for: • Palapa rentals ($30/day) • Any restaurant dishes with surcharges • The souvenir stores inside the hotel Why offer a “credit” that is practically unusable? It felt like a marketing trick rather than an actual benefit. Check-Out: The Worst Ending to a Disappointing Stay At checkout, they tried to charge us $77 for items we purchased using the hotel credit—the same credit that already had limited use. Then the most shocking part: they cut off our all-inclusive bracelets immediately, meaning: • We could no longer access the all-inclusive food or drinks. • We could not even use the hotel bathrooms freely. • Because we had a late flight, we had to leave the hotel property to buy our own food elsewhere. No hotel we’ve ever stayed at has revoked amenities the second you check out—especially when you’re still physically on the property waiting for transportation or a flight. Completely unacceptable. Overall Hospitality There was absolutely no warmth, hospitality, or professionalism from the staff. No one cared to ask how our stay was, even at checkout. The general tone throughout the trip was unfriendly and indifferent. ⸻ Final Thoughts We’ve traveled to many countries and stayed at many all-inclusive and non-inclusive resorts. We have never experienced anything like this. This resort desperately needs customer service training, honest labeling of its “all inclusive” program, and a complete overhaul of how guests are treated from check-in to checkout. We do not recommend the Holiday Inn All Inclusive in Aruba and will not return

Great food, music and attention. Make sure you make your reservations. Maxi is great. Also they offer many gluten free dishes which is amazing for those with celiac disease.

Holiday Inn Resort is the best. Conveniently located at Palm Beach
Our first time at Holiday Inn Resort. Loved everything about it, Izea is our favorite waiter at Sea Breeze. All staff has been awesome. We had a couple issues in our room , was taken care of immediately.
- AdvisoryWe are happy to report that we have successfully completed all the renovation works. Our property is now operating at 100%. Palm Lobby Bar & Cafe; Sea Breeze Restaurant & Bar and Pool located by the Sea Tower is open with its regular hours of operation, as previously announced.
