Dec 28, 2025Fantastic getaway
What a wonderful getaway to close out 2025! This resort was all of the superlatives in terms of staff, entertainment, amenities, and food. I found the buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner each superior to the three restaurants that I ate at. However, there is no difference in terms of the level of service that all of the staff demonstrate. The entertainment team did a great job of getting to know people on the resort during the day which made the activities throughout the day and at the pool, and in the evening so much fun. They were always super engaging, exceptionally personable, and smiling. The room was absolutely beautiful and I woke up each morning early to see a sunrise from my third floor balcony in the Preferred select area. In particular, I highly recommend the daily poolside meditative sound bath to start the day. Access to the beach is simple, and there is staff at the beach to make sure that you have cold water or beer, towel, towels, and chairs, and they are very attentive if you want them to be. My spa experience was also exceptional. And I had the luxury of a butler who made sure that he checked in with me each morning and periodically throughout the day to make sure that I had every need taken care of. It is far away from the downtown area and farther from the Palm Beach area, so leaving my resort was about a $200 taxi ride round-trip. There is a shuttle to bring people to those other parts of the island which are about 30 to 45 minutes away, but the timing is fairly limited and that was only available on Tuesday and Friday. Nonetheless, there is so much to do and the view is so wonderful, the drinks are all as strong as you want them, and there is literally never await. It was actually more of a difficult decision to leave the resort because I was really enjoying my time reading poolside or making friends at the swim up bar. I was there over Xmas, and the resort team did a great job of making everything friendly and festive from the activities to the shows. When I wanted to read quietly, there were plenty of hideaway spots but I wasn’t neglected by the staff. Overall, the only negative part was having to leave to return to real life :)

Beautiful resort.
My daughter and I just returned from a week stay at the resort. I have been to many all-inclusive reports on many different islands. This was the best of them all. First, the resort is just a few months old. The rooms are in great condition and very modern. Never once did I hear noise from an adjacent room. The resort was beautiful and the pools were the nicest I have ever seen. The buffet and the restaurants were very good. The service from the staff was professional and polite. The gym was brand new and well maintained. The beach was the only negative. It is a public beach, which is fine, but a bit confusing to figure out how you get lounge chairs etc. I assume over time, the resort will have a more permanent structure. This is the only time I have ever posted a review. They deserved it.

Dec 28, 2025Secret Baby Beach Seclusion
1st experience with Secrets. Very new property, but it is very isolated on the island. You are at least 40 minutes from the airport and an additional 20-30 minutes from main shopping and nightlife on the island. We rented a car 2 of our 4 days on the island so we could get to other beaches and nightlife. Secrets is the ONLY thing on south half of the island, other than some residences, old refinery and the prison.

The best escape in Aruba for ultimate relaxation
100% top service. The staff is relatively young, mostly local which was refreshing, genuinely kind and friendly. The hotel itself is GORGIOUS yet I would mostly recommended for its service ! I highly recommend it for solo and couple trips. It feels secluded, which is also unknown for the island. The walking path Infront of the hotel is stunning. I loved it!
