    Fantastic hotel

    I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Aruba, the staff was amazing, food was delicious and plentiful. My husband walks with a cane but to get around we got him a wheelchair. If staff saw me pushing him, they came over to assist me. Couldn’t have been more helpful! Can’t wait to return

    BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

    Excellent family vacation to celebrate my wife's 75 birthday. Wonderful facilities and exceptional staff at all levels. Food was very good, beach was pristine and pools were great. Rooms are functional but need updating. Specialty restaurants were very good on a "first-come first-serve basis". First time for some family members who were very impressed and expressed a desire to visit again very soon.

    First Trip to Aruba

    Resort was very nice. Wasn't crowded during our visit Sept 19-24. Food was good and the little tiki bar next to the resort was awesome.
