Mar 23, 2026Another great trip to the holiday inn aruba
I had a great experience as always at the holiday inn. The beach is always the best part and the service is important to me. The supervisor at the towel hut whose name escapes me was excellent. I also had Jimmy as a server multiple days who couldn’t have made things any better for us. Quick and great service despite the heat and always had a smile. Could not say enough good things about him

Mar 22, 2026Front desk manager was very rude!!
Be careful when you book. We thought we were booking a room with a view. Apparently the consider sitting on the corner of the bed closest to the balcony a view. Their pictures are very deceiving. Of course from one side of the balcony we had a nice view. So when we confirmed a move thinking they were upgrading us and we were willing to pay more they gave us a worse view . They said we knew . Made no sense. Why would we want a worse view. We had to give up our room we started with for 5 hours. . They really should get their crap together. I’m giving it a 3 because once we got settled in to our worse view room we have enjoyed the grounds. And the perfect weather. We will try to completely let it go . We don’t want to ruin our vacation, Not sure I would stay here again….
