Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Aruba

private pool, comfy big unit, price and quiet.

Beautiful villa with plenty of space for our family of 5. The villa has everything you need from well stocked kitchen, aircon in every room, large flat screen tvs in every room including the outdoor poolside patio area. The pool was perfect and the outside space was really lovely. The location is great, 5 minute drive to beaches and supermarket. Our host Juerg was brilliant. He gave us lots of tips and suggestions about things to do and places to eat including which restaurants had discounts and specials. We loved staying in Swiss Paradise and highly recommend it. We will be back and will definitely stay here again. We cant wait!

The house is beautiful and spacious. We especially liked the private swimming pool and back patio with hammocks.

Our stay at villa Swiss paradise was a dream! The location was ideal for us to get to the major hotel locations and a myriad of beaches within 3-5 minutes. We had friends stay at an all inclusive resort and the minute they came to the villa, they said they’d never go back to the hotel. We cannot wait to return and bring others with us to share the magic of this beautiful retreat that leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. I could go on and on about where to go and what to see nearby, but I don’t have to. The host was exceptional in recommendations and helping us build our itinerary so I’ll leave that to the expert. Just know you’ll be covered. ;)

Everything was amazing property was beautiful me and my husband will definitely visit again.

We loved our stay here and look forward to coming back. The condo is very nice and well maintained inside. On check in our room was very clean and had a good supply of paper products, dish soap, a sponge and a starter pack of laundry and dishwasher detergent and dryer sheets. Showers are strong and hot. We had plenty of room for our family of four. The view is beautiful from the balcony. Eagle beach is a10 minute walk on the bike/walking path out front. There is a small beach in front of the condo that has some huts and chairs for rent. The pools on property were crystal clear and the perfect temperature. We loved swimming at night and were often the only people at the pool. The grounds are well kept and always clean. The staff checking us in was kind and gave us good tips for the island. We received messages prior to our arrival, confirming our reservation and letting us know what numbers to call/text if we needed anything during our stay. The location of the hotel is great because it’s between 2 busy beaches but is quiet with an amazing view of the ocean and the sunsets are not to be missed. Don’t hesitate to stay here! We can’t wait to come back.

A fantastic place to stay. Definitely do a chefs tasting at Infini! Pools were great. Poolside drinks were fabulous.

Amazing view from the balcony and living room area. Condo was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We booked a 3 bedroom condo and loved that there were 3 full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and washer and dryer in the unit. Great pools on site as well as free parking. The front desk and security staff are very nice and helpful. Eagle Beach and Palm Beach are within walking distance but it is a little bit of a far walk if you are carrying beach gear. These condos are located in a more quiet area which we enjoyed. We rented a car so that we could check out multiple beaches in Aruba. Parking was available at all the beaches we visited. Our condo included a few beach chairs. Also, there are a few businesses on the island that will deliver beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and other gear that you can rent for the duration of your stay. We found this to be much easier and more affordable than the options of renting an umbrella or chair at each of the beaches or having to get to the beach super early to try to get a palapa. There are many restaurant options in Eagle and Palm Beach and this condo is close to the grocery store. Loved our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Blue Residence was clean, safe, quiet, and in a great location. The property has three well maintained pools and the grounds are well kept. The office manager, Ursula, was extremely professional, courteous, friendly, and made us feel quite at home. There were maintenance men on call and they handled minor issues quickly. There’s a beach across the street; you can pay for lounge chairs that don’t belong to Embassy Suites, for $10 a day from the sports people, but the chickees/ palapas, are free. Palm Beach and Eagle Beach are near by too. The Super Market is very close. I would highly recommend Blue Residence for anyone visiting Aruba because it’s in a convenient location, it’s safe, clean, quiet, and you’ll feel like it’s your home away from home.

The pools were perfect & the weight/exercise/running room was really all that a gymgoer will need. The property is wonderfully maintained & the apartment was comfortable, cool, & stocked with the basics. We like to walk & found that the grocery store & restaurant dining options were available within a-mile-or-so. There is no specific beach access, that would have been nice to have. There is supposedly a small dining/food on-site but we never saw it. The Divi Pheonix (across the road) has a convenience store.

Beautiful resort. The swim out pool is fantastic. Loved it! The restaurants and cafes are great dining options.

The view and the swim up room were amazing. The property however needed a few adjustments. The steep stairs from the infinity pool to the restaurant needs lights and rails..because it rains frequently the stairs were extra slippery and we had nothing to hold on to. The rooms fire alarm also went off at the most inconvenient times of the night for no reason. The restaurant near the beach with the ice cream shop also needed a few minor touches. The chips and plantain were stale and hard. The quesadillas had marinera sauce which is strange way to prepare a quesadilla. We were unable to get ice cream because the cones were stale and it took longer than 5 min to get new ones. The view of Eagle beach was the best part of the trip. The staff were also very friendly. Rene, Tyrone, Rich, JenJen were all very very accommodating.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was fantastic! It’s everything you’d expect from a brand new 5 star hotel. The room was great, the food and drinks at Marea were excellent as well as the poolside food and drinks. Special shout out to Camille at the rooftop bar/pool, she was so sweet and made our time by the pool that much better! The beach in front of the resort is beautiful and very quiet compared. We loved everything about our stay and can’t wait to come back!

I spent hours researching different hotels and resorts and decided to try JOIA. It was one of the best decisions of my life!! This place is incredible!! I could write volumes about the beautiful rooms, amenities, food, etc... and that I have NEVER been in a cleaner place! It is truly immaculate. The vibe is so chill and relaxing and everything you could possibly need or want is at your fingertips - including refreshing water stations and tons of sunscreen! Everywhere you look is an incredible view! You can hang out in the infinity pool with a drink in hand, live music playing and watch the sun set over the water! Incredibly romantic place!!!!! One of the best parts about the place is the people. We were spoiled! From the moment we stepped out of the taxi, we were greeted with smiles and genuine appreciation that we chose to stay at JOIA. The women at the front desk could not have been more amazing and accommodating, and Javier, one of the managers, was spectacular! He immediately made us feel at home and went out of his way to make this the best vacation ever!! Honestly, this was the most wonderful experience ever!

This hotel had everything you could ever want and need to make it a nice little getaway with your significant other/spouse. It is so beautiful and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. The rooms are amazing with a jacuzzi tub on the balcony. The infinity pool was so nice to look out at the beach while swimming. There are plenty of restaurants in the area and on site. The beach was easy to access and always convenient to find a spot with free chairs and umbrellas. They even have sun bum suntan lotion on the beach for you to use at your convenience as well as ice cold flavored water filled with fruits. We will definitely be back!

Our stay was incredible and peaceful, truly exceeding our expectations. The host was very attentive, checking in to see if we were okay, ensuring that we were enjoying ourselves, and ready to answer any questions we had. The staff were helpful and kind, making our experience all the more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we’re already looking forward to booking another stay in the future. I highly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a relaxing retreat!

I loved that the property is located in a gated community. It was a beautiful home plenty of sun, plenty of privacy, close to the beaches, close to a market, open concept and layout.

Location of the property was very good for snorkeling and some great beaches.

Beautifully renovated and very clean space. The apartment was also very spacious.

The apartment was extremely clean. Easily accessible entry. Very comfortable.

Will always choose Preferred, mind blowing service everywhere! Food is awesome, beds are comfortable, room is wonderful and will re-book the swim out room, totally loved it! Jimmy the Best Butler, made our stay unforgettable from start to finish, super service and very knowledgeable of property and perks!

So we have stayed in many of the secret and dreams property. This is a gorgeous property. The only issue is it’s very remote away from all of what makes Aruba wonderful. The beach is public so it’s very very crowded. The rooms are gorgeous. We got a swim out. It was good, but not great. My last thoughts, was that there’s an oil refinery right next to the property. Bit of an eye sore.

I had my concerns prior to booking this property due to it being further away from most activities. However, after spending a week there I will say my wife and I had an AMAZING time. The property itself is impeccable, the staff are very friendly and will greet you anytime they walk by, the drinks are excellent and they do have top shelf I did see items like grey goose, Titos and hennessy to name a few. The food was fantastic, breakfast and lunch are buffet style and then for dinner you choose one of their restaurants, Tierra has amazing steaks but the others were good. As someone who has traveled to about 20 all inclusive, the food here was def top 3 in my books. The beach is pristine and only a 90 second walk, there is a trolley available for those not capable of walking that distance. They have two main pools, a quiet pool overlooking the beach and the other pool being a little more lively with a DJ playing music from the bar. The only downside, and it may not be a downside for everyone, was that the entertainment is limited. They do have pool side activities in the day time but night time activities are limited to a diff live band every night between 8-10 pm followed by Karaoke between 10-11 at their sportsbar/night club. After karaoke the DJ will play music until 1 am or so. I did rent a car at the airport so I did travel around the island and was amazed to see how many people were downtown. My wife and I were happy we chose this location as it was less crowded.

We recently enjoyed a 7-night stay at this resort. It was our second Secrets property and our 12th all-inclusive vacation, and a few things really stood out in the best way: the wonderful staff (always friendly and accommodating), the easy access to stunning Baby Beach (absolutely amazing), and the delicious breakfast and lunch buffets with plenty of variety. The baked goods were also a real treat! On the flip side, we weren’t as impressed with the dinner menus. The options felt a bit limited, and we really wished there had been a buffet at dinner—especially since breakfast and lunch were so good. We also tried the Preferred Club upgrade but didn’t find it worth the extra cost. While it did offer an à la carte menu for breakfast and lunch, most of those dishes were available at the buffet anyway, and service was quite slow. Our room had an ocean-view balcony with a tub, but there was no privacy to comfortably use it. The Preferred Club lounge did have premium spirits, and snacks/treats. The preferred club also offered a smaller infinity pool separate but next to the main infinity pool, but using the pool bar meant either waiting for occasional service or getting out of the water to order. Overall, the staff, beach access, and daytime dining made the trip memorable, but dinner options and the Preferred Club didn’t quite live up to expectations.

Hotel goes above and beyond to make your stay. Lovely pools, beach is so close and very clear ! Will rerun .

The house is just like the images shown online, located in a amazingly quiet neighborhood. The host Monica was extremely helpful and replied immediately when I had any question. The house is spacious and has everything you need, the pool is perfect to dip in when is hot. All amenities available, loved the fully A/C home as well, as Aruba is sometimes pretty hot during the day. The beds are super comfy to sleep in and bonus points for the hot water in the shower. For a family visit, this house is simply great. I loved everything about the house. Best regards Monica from, Jose & Frank (Copenhagen).

The house Is exactly as in the photos. Everything was great and clean at our arrival. Monica & Joe were always present and available for any doubt. We would absolutely recommend this villa for your stay!

everything as on a pictures. excellent location, center of the island close to everything. host is very attentive and easy to communicate.

The location was nice and quiet and very close to everything

This business (boutique hotel, high end restaurant and a fashion boutique) is a hidden gem in the Carribean. My daughter and I had an amazing 12 day stay in the bigger pool suite (room 10) in July. Amazing experience enhanced by professionalism, very wam hospitality and kindness. Comfortable, clean and chic hotel room. Stunning guest pool downstairs and a romantic smaller private pool accessed from the pool suite upstairs. The staff provided exceptional service with grace and a smile. Owner Eva is a visionary with an immense talent, immecable taste in fashion and decor and deep knowledge of how to run a high end boutique hotel business and restaurant. Special thanks to GM Leonicita. She is very professional, engaging, kind, smiley and attentive. No request was too big or too small. I loved our conversations over breakfast each morning. A lifetime of memories was created. Many thanks to everyone at Ocean Z! Everyone made us feel welcome - like we were at home - and the food and cocktails/drinks at the restaurant were absolutely amazing! We will be back!

My wife and I just stayed at the ocean z hotel in Aruba. We were in suite 11 with an amazing view of the ocean. This hotel is beautiful. Very clean, quiet and away from the busy tourist areas. But if you want to go there it's only a 5 min drive up the road. The beach is a 3 min drive or 10 min walk. What sets this place apart by far is the staff. The staff is awesome. So attentive and friendly. Especially Maria. She took care of whatever we needed at any time. They had breakfast for us every morning and having dinner in their restaurant at night was a great experience. The only negative I can say is that the jets in our private pool were broke and could not be fixed until our last day. Small price to pay for how amazing everything was. I highly recommend and will absolutely stay there again. We loved it.

Everything about this hotel was perfect for us. We had a room with the private infinity pool on our balcony. Amazing view, the pool was great. Staff was beyond kind and would offer to help with anything before you'd even think about needing help. Breakfast every morning was absolutely beautiful and delicious. Something to look forward to every morning. They heard us talking about going down to the beach during breakfast, and brought us a cooler with ice and 2 beach chairs, and we didnt even ask! It was perfect. Dinner is also very good. Can't say enough good things about this hotel. This was our first trip to Aruba, and we plan on coming back. When we do, I won't even bother looking at another hotel. This place is it for us. Special thank you to Maria and Herman for all they do!

We just had an absolutely fantastic visit to Aruba (Aug 5-10, 2024). Ocean Z is a boutique and very small hotel. I am providing the good and the room for improvement items. Good: - Amazingly good staff; very attentive and very prompt - Very close to Tres Tapes (snorkeling for turtles) - Quiet and away from the "party zone" of Aruba (we loved that) Room for improvement: - We had 2 pool suites; bathrooms were awesome. However you literally can't use the toilet from 7:30am - 11am because it's so hot. Maybe a screen should be put in the bathroom that can be drawn down - The lack of privacy when using the pool or stepping out of the rooms and the dining room is right across is very strange - Modify breakfast menu once every couple of weeks or every month? Even though we loved our stay, the staff, etc., we would not go back to Ocean Z - It's too expensive for what it offers - One day there was a party which took over the entire hotel and we were informed about it, the day off. We could not even park our car in the small parking lot We understand it's a small hotel (7-8 rooms), but when one is paying ~$500/room/night, one does expect a little bit more

The service here is absolutely exceptional. Each person at Ocean Z knew our names, were eager and happy to help with anything at all. The food was excellent, the pool was really nice, and location is superb, if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing, nature-first experience. We has a delicious fresh breakfast each morning, walked to the beach, snorkeled with fish and sea turtles (!!) and came back to relax in the pool, have a glass of wine on our balcony, etc. The only reasons we didn't give this 5 stars is because our room (the mini master suite) was much smaller than anticipated, and unfortunately there was a sewage smell/situation which was unpleasant for a full 24 hours of our time here. Other than that, the owners, mgmt, folks in service, etc. were phenomenal!

I absolutely loved our stay. Everything you could think of was already there from beach chairs and floats… down to laundry tabs and cleaning supplies. The place was beautifully decorated with state of the art amenities. The host was amazing and ensured we had everything we needed from reservations to directions. She was also available 24 hours. I can’t wait to return.

We stayed in the Superior Suite and the actual suite was as advertised and very comfortable. The suite named Topical which we were assigned however did not have a garden view or patio as advertised. In fact the suite opened onto the front parking drive and road. To access the lovely pool area required going into the main hotel entrance and the through to the pool. We would stay again but book one of the pool suites.

Can not say enough about this hotel. It is not on the beach, but that was not a problem, as it was quiet at night, and never had to fight for a pool chair. We were in the White Apartment. It was well stocked, so we ate breakfast by the pool, enjoyed not having to rush out to get coffee, etc. Blanca was great. Place had chairs for beaches, which gave us the opportunity to explore a bit. We will definitely be back to this gem.

This was my first Solo trip so safety was my first concern. I walked to the beach several times while i was there and even walked back from a fireworks show at night and did not have one worry. The property was so inviting and relaxing. The pool was always clean and the water temp was perfect. I ate breakfast by the pool and laid out in the cabana every night and enjoyed the breeze. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

An absolute gem. Beautiful clean property. Very comfortable beds. Secluded and gorgeous pool area. Small number of units allowed for easy access to shared facilities (pool, barbecue, lounge chairs) and opportunities for one-to-one connections with other guests. Easy walking distance to groceries and Palm Beach. Carlos and Blanca are simply the best at what they do. No question this is where we will stay the next time we come.

Excellent location. Right across the street from the Ritz Carlton and the beautiful beach! Customer service was excellent. Loved the pool and how clean and quiet the place was Stayed in the 2 bedroom pool apartment. Very spacious, cold ac!

Great apartment for a 5 night stay. Very large for two people, could easily sleep four. Fantastic location, off the main strip, 10 minutes walking to everything, supermarket ‘around the corner’. Front and back areas for relaxing, pool perfect. My apartment had a large private terrace but very hot so definitely needs a fan - that is the only criticism. Judy and Benjamin (hosts) were lovely people, always checking to make sure we had everything we needed. Everything was spotless and the bed was so comfortable. Parking right outside. I would stay here again.

The owner and staff were so lovely and accommodating! The property is like a serene oasis with a lovely new pool (2024) which was a surprise as it wasn't there when we first booked. The property is off the busy streets, but an easy ten minute walk to plenty of dining options and excellent beaches and sunsets! Quiet, quant and everything you need for a vacation rental! Thank you for having us!

Central, close to Palm Beach though I had a rental car and was driving to different beaches. Room is nice, quiet and AC works great. Outdoor kitchen and dining area has everything you need. The garden and pool area is the best part of relaxing/lounging. Such beautiful plants and flowers. Many lounge chairs and one hammock per unit.

Nice enough room came with a great little outdoor kitchen. Had everything we needed clean room friendly staff. The small pool was a nice Plus. The only negative was the bed was very firm and pillows weren't amazing

A nice, clean, & quiet place with a beautiful courtyard/pool area. Walkable distance to the beach. Judy, the manager was very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Aruba.

The best service I have had in my life! Leoncita and everybody else is making sure that you have the best stay, always available and helping, making sure that everything is great, comfortable and easy! I appreciate the team so much! This was a beautiful hotel and everything was perfect! Thank you again!!

From the moment we stepped out of the Taxi...excellent service...friendly helpful staff...loved the ambiance and the vibe of the boutique Hotel...at dinner the restaurant was happening...and from the view and the food and staff...EXCELLENT!! We can't wait to return..

One of a kind, fantastic boutique hotel, Maria was the best concierge , so nice and considerate!

Breakfast was perfect, with lots of options. Maria is exceptional... She made our stay truly special.

Breakfast was lovely! The waitress made the experience very personable which was amazing. The location was ideal for all our plans, and we were able to park our rental car right outside. Staff in general were really nice and they made an effort to make us feel welcome.

My stay with Dirk and Mariel was overall a 10/10 experience !! They are both super friendly , helpful , professional and attentive !! When I booked , I originally booked for only 2 night but I wanted to extend an extra 3 and they assisted me to the best of their ability and accommodated me . I usually don’t like to stay at homes with the hosts on the property but this one was such a blessing .. they made me feel safe and as if I was home . They are not in your way at all but it did come in handy with them there because any issue they were on it within minutes . I would definitely be staying here again the next time I visit Aruba !!!

Dirk and his family was able to accommodate us last minute as our plans changed. He maintained communication with us until we arrived safely. We had an idea what to expect based on the photos but we didn't imagine the full breath of the backyard. Beautiful. I would come back. I thought that I lost something at the Aloe Factory. The host offered to stop by there on my behalf. They are incredible. Thank you.

Mariel and Dirk were absolutely wonderful hosts and made us feel extremely welcome. The room was as nice as a 5 star hotel in Aruba but much more affordable. Mariel was very helpful when Expedia had made an error in our reservation which resulted in a very quick resolution. I would whole-heartedly recommend the Aloe B&B and would stay there again.

I enjoyed the cozy, quaint, welcoming feeling of this cute, quiet place. I stayed in the luxury 1 bd suite and it was super spacious and perfect for me. The owners Mariel and Dirk made me feel at home and were readily available if needed. I am looking forward to visiting again. Until next time…

The owners, Mariel & Dirk were very gracious and hospitable. Room was equipped with all the essentials and all our needs were met. Very clean, soft and sufficient bedding. Bathroom was very clean. Mariel shared an app for navigating around the island, which helped us to save on cellular roaming fees. Highly recommend this property.

Toen ik en mijn partner arriveerden was er een klein probleem met de reservering. Onze reservering was nergens te vinden. Het werd wel op een professionele manier aangepakt en opgelost door de beheerster. Wij kregen een tijdelijke kamer voor onze eerste nacht en de eerstvolgende ochtend mochten we verhuizen naar een studio, zoals wij gereserveerd hebben. Als compensatie kregen aan het eind van onze verblijf een lekkere ontbijt, gemaakt door de beheerster zelf. De accommodatie was verder netjes, schoon, gezellig en we konden in de avond heerlijk buiten zitten en genieten van het lekker weer. Het zwembad was was lekker schoon en wij hebben lekker elke dag gezwommen. Deze accommodatie zal ik zeker aanraden.

Jesus was super friendly and very helpful. The property was clean and the recommendations he gave for things to do around the island were appreciated. Will be visiting again in the future and staying here. Thanks for everything! Loved Aruba

We stayed here for our first three nights upon arrival. Wanted somewhere close to town. The property was very serene and the staff very accommodating. We really enjoyed the delicious breakfast in the garden every day, so would highly recommend you order that. (We did all three days). Wonders is a little oasis actually one would never know existed from the outside, with birds, butterflies and a couple of friendly resident cats. The shower was hot (the best we had on the island during our stay) and the air conditioning very cool. Daily housekeeping was a bonus as were two complimentary drinks and pool access anytime. It was also nice to know that the property felt very secure with the gated parking lot.

Lovely little hotel with an intimate pool area. Clean and comfortable room with private patio. Free fenced parking. Wonderful breakfast served by the pool. Owners did a fantastic job decorating the place and making the pool area a true tropical oasis. Their cats roam around which is an added bonus.

We were warmly greeted upon arrival, and our transport was arranged by Wonders. Our room was large and comfortable. The bath was modern and the bed was comfortable. There was a small sitting area, and our room adjoined the pool/garden area. The daily breakfast ($13+) was very good and served in the pool/garden patio area. We also appreciated the patio "honor" refrigerator with reasonably priced beer, wine & soft drinks - and even chilled glasses! My only complaint was that I thought the room itself needed better lighting. We walked to town (less than 15 min through the local neighborhood) to enjoy happy hour and local restaurants. We enjoyed the local feel! Definitely recommend and we would return!

I stayed 3 different places while visiting Aruba. Wonders was wonderful. It was peaceful and serene. Teska is very nice, welcoming and helpful. She suggested a restaurant and best beach and both did not disappoint. I had breakfast at the hotel and it was delicious. I wanted to ask for more but did not want to look greedy. You feel safe while visiting as they have a locked gate if you are walking onto property and a locked gate for parking. The pool space is VERY beautiful. I enjoyed the pool by myself for the most part. I would Absolutely stay here again. Thank you wonders for an amazing stay!

A wonderful oasis to relax and enjoy. The owners are excellent hosts; very helpful and pleasant! Be sure to take advantage of the delicious breakfast the hosts will prepare for a small fee each morning that you enjoy outside under the palm and coconut trees. A great value. Also loved the refreshment offerings where you can pick up snacks and drinks for a small fee much simpler than having to run out and stocking up. The pool was wonderful and the tropical courtyard surrounding the pool area was so relaxing.

The Bucuti is Heaven on Earth! We loved it so much, we are already booked for next year. The included Breakfast has so many options. Omelet & egg station, waffle station, hard boiled eggs, pork & turkey sausage & bacon, Dutch pancakes, fruit and so much more. The wait staff is amazing and attentive! They were like family at the end of the week. The concierge service was great. Christopher & Rachela were so helpful. All of the concierge team were wonderful, we just seemed to speak with the other two more. The Beach is incredible, pristine. The pool was wonderful and always clean with a great temperature. The rooms were super comfortable and clean. Our housekeeper Gita was excellent. We ate lunch at Elements every day, the food was consistently delicious. The hummus and hamburger was our favorite. The chateaubriand for dinner was the best meal we had in Aruba. The beach and pool reservation was rough. I was on at 4:55 every day for the 5pm reservation and was only able to reserve the front row on the beach once. It was truly amazing. I wish that when you check in they would ask if you would like the front row and make a waiting list for it, rather than trying to find out that they are all gone right at 5pm. That was the only stressful thing about the Bucuti. In summation, the Bucuti is my favorite Caribbean hotel. I recommend it without hesitation.

Beautiful resort on Eagle Beach. They have a system for claiming beach chairs the night before right on their app, very easy, the following day the chair is set up with beach towels and ready for you. We had a basic garden view room, which was perfect for us since we are barely in the room except to sleep. The service and concierge is top notch, they go above and beyond. The turn down service and nightly tea was such a treat. The beach is BEAUTIFUL! The food/restaurant (Elements) was very good. It is close by to Alhambra Casino, shops, and restaurants. The spa on resort was very small and overpriced for what they offered, I was surprised since the rest of the resort surpassed every expectation. The pool area is also very small and can get easily crowded due to that, but with the resort being on Eagle Beach the pool was an after thought. The service was exceptional and it was definitely catered to couples which was nice since we went for our honeymoon. They had a sunset honeymoon toast for all the honeymooners with champagne which was very nice. They left us treats in our room since we noted it was our honeymoon at booking. The resort is all cashless. We would recommend and plan on returning ourselves.

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything was perfect. No loud music by the pool or staff harassing you to participate in activities. You’re left alone to soak up the sun and the beautiful scenery in peace. Top notch staff who truly care about making your experience amazing. The umbrella booking system took all of the stress away and allowed you to make your way to the beach or pool on YOUR time. Beach is gorgeous and water is warm. Food is impeccable and service was friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this resort again; I now understand why this resort has do many repeat guests and I intend on being one if them.

3rd visit to Bucuti & Tara-lucky us!! (5th visit to "One Happy Island" but once we found this place we are totally spoiled) -immaculate, friendly, safe, peaceful and aaaah- with perfect location right on long/wide and gorgeous Eagle Beach! Even lovely pool is quiet! It's quiet although lively at same time- with the most wonderful employees- almost all of whom seem to really enjoy their jobs (adults only and non smoking-except in 2 designated/remote locations adds to that R&R stress free vibe.Altho their 2 dining venues (Elements and Senses) and its fun Sand Bar-guests only with local acoustic music at happy hour(s)- offer great food and drinks/wines etc. , many casual and upscale restaurants are within easy (5-45 minutes) walking distance- nice for folks like us that prefer not to rent a car. Clean/safe walking area btw day & eve. Also short walks to shops, Alhambra Casino (not our thing but within a block) and less than 10 minute cab ride to either downtown Oranjestad (more 👍 restaurants, etc.) or Palm Beach (with louder bars & plenty of watersports, but more crowded beach areas). Our 10 day visit perfect; as usual met lots of nice -mostly also repeat- guests at Bucuti. Oh and you have your own comfy and well spaced lounge chairs & umbrella & table each day on beach (with no limit on how long you are "allowed" to leave them to take a long walk and/or have lunch before your belongings are removed)-smiling service there too if you raise your flag! Fab place. Thx B&T!

The Bucuti & Tara exceeded our expectations for our trip to Aruba this year! From the second you pull up to the hotel to the minute you check out the service was excellent and everyone was so friendly! We were greeted in our room with a bottle of champagne, cheese, crackers, and macarons! I love that you could pick your beach chair the night before on the iPad. Flags on every beach chair allowed us to order food and drinks to our chair a breeze! I have celiac disease and it was easy to eat gluten free at the Bucuti & Tara with GF markers on the menu, separate fryer for the French fries, and GF options at the breakfast buffet (they even had a separate GF toaster at the buffet). The staff was always there to help with anything you might need and everyone has a smile and says hi as you walk by. Our room was very clean and spacious. The hotel was very quiet inside, we could not hear other guests, and it was also quiet by the beach and pool! Food and drinks were delicious and the area was walkable to several coffee shops and other restaurants near by. We parked our rental car easily and for free at the hotel, but taxis were readily available as well. The resort was LGBTQ friendly, which was very important for me and my wife. I would highly recommend the Bucuti & Tara for those looking for a quiet, romantic getaway with their significant other!

Go to Boardwalk Boutique. You will love it. You get a truly unique experience where you are treated like a person. The Casitas are very nice and comfortable, with outdoor patios. We were by the "little pool" which was like having our own private pool. You know what you get with the big hotels. Trust me, go here and you will get better.

We highly recommend this hotel for adults visiting Aruba. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and we loved the small size of the hotel. We weren’t sure if we would miss staying at a hotel on the beach but we didn’t. It was a very short walk to the beach and there is a shuttle as well. The hotel offers reserved chairs and palapas for guests plus beachside delivery from the delicious hotel restaurant. We enjoyed retreating to the oasis of the hotel and enjoying the pool in the afternoons. The daily happy hour at the pool is a must. We visited during slow season and there was no shortage of space the beach of pool. Lots of great restaurants in walking distance. Lastly, we appreciated the hotels commitment to reusability and sustainability. We hope to visit again one day.

Literally the best place we’ve ever stayed! We were only planning to stay for 3 nights, but ended up staying for an extra night because we loved it so much. It’s such a unique hotel - you walk through a beautiful lush garden to get to your private casita. There’s a restaurant on site (Coco Cafe) and the hotel is within walking distance to tons of bars/restaurants since it’s near all the big resorts, but way more quiet and relaxed. They have two beautiful pools. It’s only a few minute walk to the beach (or they have a shuttle). You can reserve chairs and a “palapa” umbrella on the beach for free. The shuttle driver has free water and also sells pop/beer on the beach, or you can order food/drinks from the Ritz Carlton (which we only did once because it’s pricey). Pool/beach towels are available at the front desk and can be exchanged for fresh ones every day. All of the staff is super friendly. We’ll be recommending this place to all our family and friends!

The pictures do not do this boutique hotel justice. It is so well designed and the colors of the casitas, the coconut trees, and lush plants made it feel truly magical. We stayed in a Coco Casita and it felt so spacious. We ended up on the second floor of the casita instead of the first floor, and had amazingly high, beautiful ceilings with a ceiling fan and air conditioning. The little lizards that popped up on the path were quite intriguing.. they had amazing colors. It felt nice to be connected to nature right there next to the beaches and other resorts. We had an amazing time hanging by the pool as well. It was very calm and the other travelers that were drawn to this same place were relaxed and quiet. The Coco Cafe has great menu items and the dishes felt very well thought out and they were very delicious. The happy hour from 3-5 was a delightful part of the day. Many other guests would use the pool at this time and it felt so lively and refreshing.

10/10 Hotel. They should be very proud of themselves! What a gorgeous hotel. Covid has negatively impacted guest experience at many establishments but this facility still SHINES. They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and truly lovely. My only suggestions would be: As they replace the coolers they should get the kind where the handle is built into the lid. Our cooler could only be 1/3 full and the handle would pop off under the weight. Also, they need to enforce their pool lounge chairs policy a bit more (seating is limited, aprx 10 lounges at the main pool). People "claimed" chairs with "stuff" and left them for hours and there was a family of 4 with two children under five who claimed chairs for themselves and both of their toddlers- who were never in the chairs. When seating is very limited a bit more enforcement is needed because some people lack courtesy.

Hotel was beautiful and I had the suite room, S1, which came with two separate rooms each with their own bathrooms. One room had two twin beds and the other a king bed. Their was a full kitchen, dinning room and living room as well. It also had its own decent sized balcony with a small table and several loungers. Everything appeared very new and clean. Bathroom had large walk-in shower and nice bidet toilet. Light switch was outside of the room, which was a little inconvenient. Room was on second floor, which the stairs may be problematic for some. No complaints over the room at all as it was quite lovely. Hotel had a small pool with a waterfall and a handful of loungers and a few tables and chairs. It also had a small kids pool. The hotel also had a restaurant, but I never ate at it. Prices were starting around $25. The ocean was located across the street, which wasn’t overly busy. It a so was next to a walking path. There were a few restaurants on the beach or nearby, but all fairly expensive. Overall wonderful hotel room, next to beach, limited affordable vegetarian meal options.

Directly across the street from one of the best beaches in the world - Eagle beach. The hotel is impeccably well maintained and clean. Staff could not be friendlier. The neighborhood is walkable and quiet compared to Palm Beach high rise area. There is a pool and bar but both are very small. No bar service at the pool but there is a huge grocery store within walking distance. The restaurant across the street, Passions, serves a great dinner although they’re a bit unorganized for seating at breakfast and lunch. There’s a hostess stand but it’s not used during the day. A “seat yourself” sign would be helpful as people que up at the vacant stand. During our stay there was an intermittent sewage smell in the air - probably from nearby construction. The same odor was noticed occasionally further down the street as well.

We absolutely LOVED staying at the Amsterdam Manor. It must have been one of the cleanest rooms I have ever been in. It had all the things we needed and the room was perfect for a family of 5. We had a wonderful balcony with vieuw on the pool. The tranquility of the hotel is amazing and the location supreme. It is a 5 min walk to the beach but the pool was also very nice.

Almost everything.Elvis at Horizons is a gem and we enjoyed him very much.His bartender skills were exceptional and always entertaining.We ate dinner at Horizons one night and the food was very good.The front staff were all very helpful particularly when my grandson required medical attention .We stayed in a two bedroom suite which was clean and well equipped with kitchen necessities as well as very nice aloe based toiletries in the bathrooms.Extra towels were delivered almost nightly and the housekeepers did a great job.keep our place clean and tidy.There is a Superfood market within walking distance if you choose to stock kitchen and make breakfast or light meals etc..I brought reusable bags from home to carry my groceries in.I had requested a drip coffee maker which was provided.The beach was beautiful and there never was an issue getting a palapa or an umbrella covered lounge chairs.The pool area is small by some peoples standards but I thought it was fine .The pool was always clean and again finding a seat was not an issue for me at all.

Stay was good, not great. Starting with the great. Rooms were excellent, the 2 bedroom suite was spacious and modern. The good….amenities were average, the pool was very pedestrian with 1 very nice dining option and 1 that was poolside that was good. Surrounding area was ok, but seemed like construction at several sites. If you care more about rooms than amenities then this is a solid choice but doesn’t rival higher end locations like the Hyatt Regency.

Adults-exclusive beach and pool swim-up bar food

The swim up bar was incredible and the flamingo Island was remarkable. Loved everything

Your staff is fantastic. Ishra at the swim-up bar and Clara at Flamingo Island were exceptional. Jorge at the front door was also very accommodating. Food was surprisingly great as well. We can't wait to come back.

This resort was great. It’s less than a 10 minute drive from the airport and the area is very safe to walk around. It’s not located with the high rise hotels which we liked. We stayed in the marina (adults only) which has a nice pool. There is a boat right across the street which runs every 15 minutes to take you to their private island and beach. Renaissance Island is great. Flamingoes and Iguanas roam freely. There are 2 sides, boat have food options, wait staff. You can always find a chair and there are cabanas to rent. You can take out floats for the day and just lay in the calm water. The family friendly part of the hotel (ocean suites) was great too. There were hardly any kids so we didn’t mind. 2 pools, swim up bar and they have a small beach too which was so quiet and relaxing. We might try to stay at this part next time but you can’t go wrong either way. Renaissance Marketplace has a bunch of restaurants, live music, Dunkin and Starbucks. We didn’t do the all-inclusive option as there are so many great restaurants in the area. We found the smaller, authentic ones to be the best!

We had an incredible stay at the hotel. From the moment we arrived the staff was welcoming and taken care of. The hotel is beautiful, clean, with the most amazing service throughout. The private beach is absolutely breathtaking and easily one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Choosing the all-inclusive was the best decision for us. We ate and drank not only at the Marina but also the sister property. The swim-up bar was amazing – great energy, yummy food and drinks. We hung out the entire day there. But beyond all of that, hands-down the highlight was meeting Nelson the bartender at the Marina. He is a true mixologist – not only did he craft specialty drinks tailored to our taste, mood and personality but his personality, humility, humor and attentiveness was unmatched. He made it very difficult to go have drinks anywhere else! The food at all the restaurants blew us away. I’ve stayed at several all-inclusive hotels and this is the best food I’ve had. If you are looking for close proximity to the airport which is only 10-15 min, then this is a great option. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars walking distance from the hotel. This is however on the quieter side, so to head to Palm Beach area you’ll need to take a cab that will run you anywhere from $16-20 one way. All in all – highly recommend.

Oh my love for Radisson Blu Aruba, how do I count the ways?…. Listen, there are a ton of hotel options in Aruba but this place let our needs for these specific reasons - we are not into big properties, and we’re not interested in staying at a place that feels like summer camp. We are not into pool bingo and dance raves in the middle of the day. Radisson is walkable to the beach (and offers a shuttle) and is directly next to a TON of restaurants, bars, shops and more! We like to travel places where we can leave the property and that’s exactly what this location has to offer. The actual units with mini kitchens are fabulous for families. The 3-bedrooms come with plates, flatwesr, cooktops and convection ovens. Those units are STUNNING and worth the spend if you’re traveling with larger groups. The pools are beautiful and not overly crowded, the bar side drinks and menu is great, and the adults only pool is gorgeous. Because the adults only pool is on another level, the regular pools allow for families to mill about without worrying about being disruptive. Lastly, the staff here are so incredible. So helpful, to welcoming, so kind. We’d like to give a special shoutout to Santos, Peter and Rowad. They were helpful in getting cabs, accommodating our families and helping in every way possible.

Don’t know where to begin. This place was extraordinary. Location - You are within 100 yards of extensive QUALITY dining and shopping. It was only a 15 minute ride from the airport and only a 10 minute cab ride to the cruise port area. Facility - This was the cleanest hotel I’ve stayed in based on moderate to extensive travel experience. It was moderate in size but also didn’t feel overwhelmingly. Amenities - The pools were beautiful. The infinity pool on the 3rd floor of the registration building was absolutely beautiful and incrediably clean. The bar and restaurant by the pool were above average with prices being consistent with the area Room - Huge and incrediably fresh and clean. The only critique I had was there were no washcloths provided. Full size fridge/freezer and a microwave. Staff. They were absolutely wonderful. Peter Santos and David Figuera were especially helpful and accommodating. They were friendly, light-hearted and extremely helpful. Overall, it was we an extraordinary stay. , We planned two additional trips for the near future while sitting poolside. We cannot wait to come back.

My fiancé and I had an unforgettable 6-day, 5-night stay at the Radisson Blu Aruba and I can’t imagine a more perfect experience (except maybe staying longer!). From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like family, greeting us by name and checking in to ensure everything was perfect each day. Every team member, from the rooftop bar to the poolside staff (including Santos, Peter, Dondre, and Leyoraclho) were genuinely warm, attentive, and simply the kindest people we’ve ever met at a hotel. Their hospitality elevated our entire trip and made us feel at home during our stay. Our oceanfront suite was breathtaking—spacious, with a full living room, kitchen, and a balcony offering stunning views of the pool, rooftop deck, and beach. Waking up to that view every morning felt like a dream! The hotel’s facilities, including the rooftop pool and bar, were impeccable and added such a luxurious vibe to our stay. The highlight, though, was planning my engagement proposal with Joey from the front desk. He went above and beyond to make it magical, coordinating every detail for a perfect rooftop moment. Thanks to David, we also have beautiful photos and videos to cherish forever. The staff’s care and enthusiasm made this milestone unforgettable. Radisson Blu Aruba isn’t just a hotel—it’s a place where memories are made. We can’t wait to return!

I completely loved this property. Everyone that worked there was incredible from the staff at Sunset bistro and everyone at the Clover went above and beyond. I went to both each day for breakfast and lunch. The pool bar was great especially happy hour from 2 to 4. I have to mention about the beach as everyone stated you do have to get there earlier because most of the chairs I’ve already been taken by 9am but to be honest the pools on the property more than made up for it, especially the star of the whole property, which is the rooftop infinity pool absolutely spectacular. I will definitely be back. Thanks everyone!!

The property is very new. The rooms are very spacious and bright. The staff here are outstanding and go out of their way to please. Dining on property is fantastic. They have 2 beautiful pools (a cascading pool on the top floor is gorgeous). Pool bar is a great touch , with a happy hour each day. Paradise!
