Aruba Resorts | Places to Stay in Aruba
Aruba is the quintessential Caribbean island, all sun and sea and stretches of powdery white sand. Time will slow to a pleasant crawl as you linger over a tropical cocktail or flutter serenely underwater, where only the parrotfish are in a hurry. The pastel façades of Oranjestad landmarks and shops lend an inviting and playful vibe to the capital city. Enjoy the shade of an Eagle Beach divi tree while the crashing waves of turquoise water create a soothing soundtrack just for you.

Great Hotel in great location
Reviewed By T554SMrickThis was our first trip to Aruba but will not be our last. Our family has travelled multiple times per year to the Carribean and so we have seen many nice places. This has a great combination of great beach and great hotel but the boardwalk running in between the hotels and beach offers many dining and bar options so you do not feel like you are held hostage at the hotel. Cabs are very easy to get at affordable prices and a great island to explore. My only negative is the water in front of the hotel is not as pretty as Turks and Caicos or Cayman and there are many boats anchored in front of the hotels which distracts from the experience.......but overall a great place. we asked every cab driver we rode with to rank the hotels and all seemed to put the Hyatt first. based on quality of the property and convenient loacation to everything, I cant disagree. If you go, there is a website to reserve palapas in advance. People that have been there before know to reserve them in advance so even if your room says "best available palapa", if you don't reserve in advance, best available may not be very good.

Wedding Anniversary
Reviewed By T5687JBkarlcThis is our 2nd stay in two years and the staff and atmosphere has been exceptional. The staff makes every effort to know your name and make you feel as welcome as possible.

Great Hotel + Great Beach = Paradise and Relaxation Found
Reviewed By U5589TUjackiejThis Hilton Aruba Resort was wonderful. First off, the staff (and people here in general) were very friendly. The towel/palapa reservation station staff were also very friendly. The spa staff were also great (I recommend Gloria if you take the relaxation massage). In terms of the grounds, it's very open air and clean with plenty of places to have your own space. I went for a long walk and walked past the Riu where it looked very crowded where people are basically on top of each other. That wasn't what I was looking for in terms of social distancing and relaxing so the Hilton was great at giving people enough space. The beach here is awesome! Turquoise waters, easy to go swimming, and right next to a diving/sailing/snorkeling shop which is very convenient. Usually, convenience does not matter to me when I take a vacation, but I have to say the Hilton location is simply the best. Regarding Palapa rentals, this is a must if you sunburn easily and still want to enjoy the beach. There are some reviews on here that mention $50 and waiting in line to reserve one. However, do yourself a favor and reserve them in advance online for $20! I reserved one for each day for three days in a row. There is a service charge of $3 per day for a $20 palapa. What I did was reserve a palapa on the very end of the row so that my view was still unobstructed (all you have to do is turn your head a quarter turn to the right and you see the beach). If it bothers you to have people in front of you, then the $50 option would be it. I paid $69 for 3 days which to me was worth it. The palapa I had was also right next to the dive shop I mentioned previously and was also right next to the Bread Basket snack/drink shop so you have accessible services right there if you wanted other options. The nice thing is that you can basically set up shop at the palapa and it is yours for the full day. You don't have to worry about going snorkeling with the shop next door and having to re-reserve a palapa. The palapa reservations team was wonderful and will help remove people if they think that they can take your palapa if you step away for a minute (again the staff here are the best!). In terms of beaches, I loved the beach here. Aruba does not have private beaches, so you can walk to any other beach and go swimming and it's not a problem (this is not the case at other places that I have stayed where the hotel monopolizes one beach) so beach access is great. In terms of COVID testing, make your reservation to test the day that you get there. They allow walk ins, but you would have to wait and to me I wanted to be in and out as fast as possible. Again, the option to reserve in advance is highly recommended. Can't recommend this hotel enough if you stay at this one happy island!! I did not want to leave!

Awesome Aruba vacation
Reviewed By Dave PYou won't make everyone happy, but this hotel has everything you need from a cup of morning coffee at dunkins to breakfast, lunch and dinner at Tony's Pizza. There is a large grocery store across the street. BBQ s on site should you decide to cook for your family. Three pools to choose from, and beach access a short walk away (3-4 minutes). All kinds of watersports to do at Eagle beach. If you want a palapa at the beach, it is private for hotel guests for the two hotels here. People do get there as early as 5am to get the best seats! Surprisingly enough you will be amazed how busy the beach will be by 6:30am! We are already looking to rebook for August, we had a blast here!

First time to Aruba
Reviewed By VintageRoseBoutiqueWe came to celebrate our sons high school graduation and it was our first time to Aruba. The pros: Aruba’s airport is a breeze to arrive in to. We were through the airport and in a taxi in less than 30 minutes. The ride to the resort is short and it cost us $31 for 4 people. The Divi Phoenix is small and close to a wonderful beach. Lots of swimming areas and swim up bar. For the most part the staff is friendly and helpful. They have room key bracelets that can be taken on and off! There were always plenty of chairs for the beach and the water is PERFECT!! The resort is in good shape for the price. We upgraded to the three bedroom penthouse for $750 upon arrival. Do not get this room if you can’t get up tiny stairs! All bedrooms are upstairs. Happy hour is at 5 for buy on get one drinks! The island and hotel felt very safe. Cons: The room was nice but not cleaned well and don’t expect to really cook in the kitchen due to a very limited selection of pots/pans utensils. It needs a deep cleaning but for the price it was fine. The drinks are expensive! $12-$14 per drink. Double check your bill, we got charged full price during happy hour but had it corrected. Go down the beach to a beach bar for cheaper drinks. Also we had issues with excessive loudness from the swim-up bar area for two nights. Literally didn’t fall asleep until 2am because of people screaming and yelling. Loud music doesn’t bother me, so believe me when I say it was bad! They need to control this better. Get your COVID test early on the day before you leave. Like 8-9am. We never got an email for three of our test and we had to go back to the testing area to get a print out the morning of our departure. Be persistent and don’t wait too long.

Another Excellent Stay with Divi Village!
Reviewed By Brittani DWe enjoyed our ground floor studio unit directly across the street from the beach. It was a 1 minute walk to the beach and even less to the pool. The room had everything we needed to cook meals in the kitchenette. The bed, linens & pillows were very comfortable. Only a stand-up shower in the bathroom (no bathtub). A community washer & dryer available on the second floor, but requires $2 in quarters per wash & dry cycle. We ate dinner at the Sea Breeze Restaurant at the Village and lunch at the Beach Bar across the street. One evening they hosted a resort party with music, entertainment, and complementary drinks and snacks. It was a nice touch and fun time for the guests! There was always an available palapa (tiki hut) at the beach, even when arriving later in the day. Eagle Beach is beautiful and quieter than Palm Beach, but definitely bring water shoes if wanting to walk the shore or get in the water. This is our second time in six years to visit Aruba and both times we stayed at Divi Village. We spent one of our beach days at their sister resort, Divi Phoenix, located directly on Palm Beach. We were able to go snorkeling and did see some fish. We love this area and will return!

Exceptional Staff - Wonderful Time
Reviewed By BBellz160My wife and I stayed at the Riu Palace Aruba for a week and had the best experience that I've had thus far of any Riu resort. After having a subpar stay at Riu Costa Rica, I was close to canceling my trip here but I am so glad that I decided to give Riu Palace Aruba a chance. All of the staff really shows their appreciation for the guests being there and doesn't take that guests have numerous lodging choices for granted. Every one of the staff members who we came into contact with were so welcoming. They certainly made me and my wife feel good about taking this trip from the moment that we checked in. The dining is good, the entertainment is captivating, the beach and pool are very relaxing and the pool team is exceptional. Jessica and Edgar ensured that our Anniversary stay was above our expectations. Billy, Jennifer and Miya were extremely attentive to our, and the rest of the guests', needs while at the pool which also exceeded our expectations. Finally, I want to express a great deal of gratitude to Diana at the front desk for helping me with finding a quiet location to handle an important business matter. Diana, you definitely made a difference in my success with that situation. Thank you all for reestablishing my trust in Riu properties Riu Palace Aruba staff, we'll definitely be coming back soon!!!
