One Happy Island
My wife and I booked this Aruba Holiday Inn through the JetBlue vacation web site in October 2025. We chose this hotel because we have stayed there in the past. Our stay was from January 11th through January 18th 2026. At first, we were first given a room on the 7th floor in the Palm tower, which had an ocean view and a parking lot view. During the first two nights, we experienced very loud music and noise coming from the clubs and bars which continued until after 1am. On day 3, we went to the front desk and spoke to Taylaure, a supervisor, who switched us to a beautiful room facing the pool and ocean on the 5th floor of the Sea tower. The remaining days and nights of our stay were exceptionally wonderful. All of the employees of the hotel, were friendly, outgoing, and very professional. A special thank you to Eugene, Kyle and Smitte, who went out of their way to assist us in making our stay enjoyable and memorable. Although we have stayed in other name brand resorts in Aruba in the past, we have already started making plans to return to the Aruba Holiday Inn next year. This is one of the reasons why Aruba is known as “One Happy Island”

Jan 19, 2026Great hotel with an awesome staff
The hotel was very clean and well-maintained. Special shout-out to the following staff members Julisia, Margot, Adail, and Reynaldo. They made our stay that much more special. The location is perfect if you want to be within walking distance of some good restaurants and the beach. If you are noise sensitive, ask them not to put you in the Sea Tower. Mooma next door keeps the party going until 2:00 AM on some nights. Other than that we had a great time and will stay there again.

Above and Beyond
The most pleasant staff and atmosphere imaginable from the moment we walked in. Above and beyond expectations. Amenities and food is great, clean, well maintained etc but the people set it apart from elsewhere. The airline was a tad rough while transporting my rolling walker making it unsafe. IIt was noticed immediately and before I knew it and we were even done checking in, arrangements were made for Maintenance to have a look...Beat us to the room, found parts and repaired brilliantly. That made my entire 11 day stay right there. Aruba is brautiful, the area is amazing but this hotel in particular has the most wonderful people that genuinely want to make sure everything is great. Stayed here before, will stay here again.

Jan 17, 2026Disappointing
7 nights all inclusive. Buffet breakfast (standard), but no buffet in the evening and only one restaurant to eat in. Other 2 restaurants not open daily. $40 to rent an umbrella on the beach per day, even though we’re all inclusive. No water in the room. Rooms in need of decoration and carpets need changing.
- AdvisoryWe are happy to report that we have successfully completed all the renovation works. Our property is now operating at 100%. Palm Lobby Bar & Cafe; Sea Breeze Restaurant & Bar and Pool located by the Sea Tower is open with its regular hours of operation, as previously announced.
