Apr 15, 2026Great new resort
Great NEW resort. A distance from city center but Amstar offered a shuttle 2x/week for $25. Everything very clean. Food is great - no one will go hungry. Drinks could be hit or miss at times. Husband got tired of the 2 beer choices. Pools could use more umbrellas and shade over the water. The wind is very strong, especially In the afternoons and pools are cool which made it hard to stay in the water. Beach is nice, very pretty to look at. Would be nice to have umbrellas and more services available. Roomy accommodations with great showers and AC. Rarely heard anything from the hallway.

Peaceful & lively at Aruba
Had an awesome time at this resort only downfall is that the beach was not connected to the resort but the attendants at the area were more than helpful. They provided us with chairs lounges limited drinks snorkels. The water was beautiful but could get crowded. Restaurants We're good, Marta was the best!

Beautiful resort - Mind the booking!
It's a beautiful resort and the staff was great. However, if you pay extra for an ocean view, be sure to confirm you will actually get on ocean view once you are there. Also, while there be sure to go to San Nicolas to see the murals painted on the buildings - they are incredible!

Apr 13, 2026Pretty but food needs work
Gorgeous resort! Several reviews criticized location but honestly it’s beautiful-deserted refinery not the best but it’s overall very pretty. Rooms are nice and grounds and lobby are spectacular. But the food is not good. Knowing not to expect too much at all inclusives, this food falls short of even lowered expectations. Staff is great and service is very good - it’s just WHAT they’re serving is quite lackluster. I got very sick the second night there and I believe it was the food. Pack a carryon with snacks if you go.
