Feb 28, 2025Perfect in every way!
Wrapping up 6 nights at Aruba Marriott Resort. From check in to check out our stay has been perfect in every way. Yes there is a process for Palapa reservations but we were lucky and were able to secure our reservation using the app each night at 5pm for the next day. Our room on the 4th floor faced the adult pool and had view of ocean - we booked limited view and were pleased with our room 405. Cleaning staff keeps rooms and property in top shape. Starbucks in lobby although line appears to be long, workers were friendly and efficient. We ate lunch/happy hour at The Wave each day - choices plentiful and we were happy with our selection each day. Off property restaurants I would recommend are Chalet Suisse, Driftwood and Gianni. Bring cash as most cabs accept cash only. Have to admit I was hesitant in booking based on negative reviews but am so glad we chose Aruba Marriott for our stay in Aruba and will definitely recommend this property to friends/family. Well done and that to all the staff for providing us with a wonder stay! Hope to return someday soon!

Feb 26, 2025Terrible experience
We arrived FEB 10TH got to our room that was over the garbage site, the room had a foul odor in it and the toilet was not working went to the front desk and ask to change our room there was nothing available. I found another hotel but couldn't check in till February 11 when I went to the front desk to tell them I will be checking out the next morning a cockroach ran over my foot , the gentleman behind the desk came running out and killed it. That morning upon check out I was told there was no charge due to all our issues, but my credit card was charged 1 night. They are refusing to refund my Credit card and told me that I was not told that. This is very unprofessional and very disappointing especially for a Marriott.

THEY STEAL IN HOTEL BEWARE
I had a very concerning stay. They tried to steal my husband‘s Rolex watch from my room. It was left in the bathroom and when we had someone from downstairs, come in to replace conditioner in the shower they stole his watch from the bathroom where it was placed on the counter. When we went downstairs to complain, we were waiting for 15 minutes for security guard to come. As we were getting more impatient, we threatened to call police and then security guard appeared within one minute. While we were waiting, someone came into our room to return the Rolex and put it in my daughter’s luggage wrapped up in her clothing. We know for a fact that that’s not where we left the watch so they were stalling our time so they can return it because we were threatening to call the police. I do think that security guard was in on this as well because she was stalling to come in right away. I have complained there to that hotel and no one cared or seemed to be interested. Telling me this is conspiracy theory when it’s not. I have stayed in so many Marriotts as I am a platinum member and I have never Had a complaint about any property. This was a violation of our privacy and completely disgusting and I felt very violated and not safe for the remaining of my trip. I will never stay there again and this needs to be dealt with because it’s going to happen again. It looked like they had a whole system And many people were involved in this and it doesn’t look like it was the first time that this happened. We just happened to know exactly where the watch was and threatening to call police and they knew that they had to return it.

Feb 22, 2025Overall good stay
We recently returned from a one week stay in a Tradewinds room. I must admit I was a bit surprised at some of the negative reviews, although I can understand some of the comments relating to the palapas. We were very fortunate, we used the app and were able to get a palapas each day. Service at the beach was good for us and I guess the only negative would be smoking in the area one day was bothersome (a not so pleasant cigar). I think it would help if Tradewinds guests could get more assigned palapas and perhaps an area where guests who do smoke could go have a cigarette and come back to their seating area. We found the food in the Tradewinds area to be good and especially some of the fish and meat dishes at lunch time. The staff were also very polite and dishes cleared off very efficiently. I agree with some of the comments on the rooms. They are a bit dated but due for an imminent renovation so looking forward to revisiting once renovated. On the plus side they were a very good size. We had paid for ocean view and were a little disappointed getting also the side Ritz deliveries but did have a reasonable view other than that. Overall I would definitely visit again. It’s not cheap and depending on the dates you stay comparable to the Ritz next door price wise. Having said that we went to the Ritz and we both agreed, pool area quite disappointing and didn’t seem to have in the main areas much atmosphere and as such we much preferred our hotel. Looking forward to seeing your renovation some time in 2026. I did notice when you go on the Marriott website at the moment it doesn’t allow any bookings as yet for next year which I assume will open up in due course.

Great hotel but pay attention during high season.
The hotel is beautiful and has a lot of amenities. We stayed for 6 nights and have stayed at this hotel previously. Full disclosure: I’m a Bonvoy Platinum member, and I’ve stayed at several other Aruba hotels: Renaissance, Hyatt, Holiday Inn. My observations: - Room was great and the maid staff was generous and helpful. Don’t forget to tip them. The room was very large and comfortable with plenty of storage. - Pools were nice and clean but only 1 hot tub at the main pool and none at the adults-only pool. The pool chair situation can be challenging during the high season. Plan to go out at 6:30 am and ask the people in the towel hut what time you can save chairs and how. Otherwise, they’ll take your stuff away. - Gym is one of the best hotel gyms I’ve used. If you travel for work and like to work out, you’ve experienced the so- called gyms consisting of a few pieces of equipment stuffed into a small space. This one is 2-levels with lots of cardio and weight equipment, water, towels. - Beach is beautiful with calm water. Reserving a palapa is a blood sport. Your success reserving one depends on the speed at which you can refresh the app at the appointed time to reserve one. We were in the Tradewinds Club. There were separate palapas for Tradewinds and the beach chairs had a nice cushion. The downside was that none of the bar/ food servers came by all day during the 3 days were had a palapa. They did service the “regular” side but we could not get their attention and the attendant was unsuccessful getting any of the servers to come over. Overall,
