    So so loud at night

    I cannot believe this resort advertises itself as “family friendly.” While i love that all rooms face the pool / ocean, there is LOUD entertainment that begins around 730 pm and goes until after 10pm. This is insane. There is no option for any way to block this noise. The hotel is nice but dates, the pool is lovely and so far what we’ve had of the buffet has been great, but the sleep / rest I was hoping to get in my family vacation with two elementary- aged school children is sorely lacking. This is a huge inconvenience and had we known this, we would have absolutely Never booked this hotel. I’m so disappointed and angry about this.

    Family fun in the sun!

    Family trip to this resort and highly recommend. This is a family, friendly hotel and resort with lots of children and adults. Age range was all levels. Food was good and well for the quality. Lots of options for food and beverages as it is all inclusive. Pools were clean everything was clean. The neighboring community is packed with shopping and restaurants and bars. Extremely safe! We walked around at night several times. The beach is outstanding and white sand! The water was clean and clear. The weather was outstanding with temperatures in the mid 80s every day and sunshine galore! No rain. There is a strong breeze of about 20 mph every day which helps keep it cool. Watch the sun!! Beach huts must be gotten early! We were down there by 6 AM every day to get one held. We did the ATV ride and it was an absolute blast. You ride side-by-side buggies, two per vehicle. DePalms tour for the win!! Hotel is about 20 minutes from the airport. Easy ride and we were picked up at the airport with our tour company. Airport on the way out is a little challenging as there are two sets of customs and two sets of security. You go through customs for Aruba and then also for the United States. The benefit is that you do not have to go through US customs back in the United States. Airport is small and easy to navigate other than that. Food was expensive at the airport and crowded. Multiple countries in and out. Highly recommend this resort and the area we were in. Eagle Beach is phenomenal!

    wonderful experience for the family

    I will start with everything that was great about this hotel. We stayed 6 nights for spring break as family with a 10 yo and 7 yo. They gave us a fantastic room with a wonderful ocean view from the 6th floor. Obviously the longer you stay, the better view you get. There was a cot in the room that we had not requested but certainly needed. That was a nice touch. Turndown service each day was prompt and perfect. We only ate at the all inclusive buffet for breakfast and dinner. The food was fantastic and the service from Hector at dinner each night was wonderful. There are theme restaurants you can try but skipped them. The lunch food at the pool each day was great as well. Service at the pool was great, giving guests the choice of just going to the bar for a beverage or waiter stopping by your chair. Now to the drawbacks. For the price you pay, this hotel is inching closer to needing a renovation. I did see crews fixing some cosmetic infrastructure issues, but little things like electrical outlets not working in the room was frustrating. To my point, there was cracked tile in the elevator flooring that I tripped on a few times, I was shocked that existed. Getting a chair near the pool or in the shade on the beach is a huge game. People put towels out at 8am and hog chairs all day even when they are not using them for hours at a time. I found that very annoying. That's on the hotel to monitor such behavior and have a better policy. One final tip, if you want to stay in one place and relax, do the all inclusive here. If venturing off the resort and trying other restaurants, then book a different hotel or you are wasting money. Venturing off the hotel grounds in Aruba was totally safe.
