  Perfection!!!

  In a word - Perfect. Celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary. The Staff is Untouchable. From time of Check-In Anthony took care of everything for us. We truly felt like Family My recommendations 1) Book a private dining night in the Wine Room (Tomahawk Steak or Lobster - Our Host was Amazing). 2) Go to Hibachi Night and hear Julio sing. 3) You'll absolutely Love the Spa. BTW Let the Bartenders make you something Signature. Truly Amazing People. Clean, quiet and tranquil. Located away from everything made it feel more Private. Top Notch Room for the Price. We're definitely going back. P.S. Say Hi to Mrs. Cindy at Breakfast with that Beautiful Smile.

  Nice but not great.

  Resort beautiful. Resort extremely boring. Buffet disgusting and limited. Restaurants average. Staff fake nice and very lazy. Staff is very uninterested, unhelpful and extremely slow. Aruba is beautiful but this resort has issues.

  40th bday!

  Stayed at Secrets Baby Beach Nov 1, 2026 - Nov 6, 2026. We had an ocean view preferred club room, and went with 1 other couple who did ocean view non preferred. Everyone I went with thought the resort and experience was great. I was nervous because a lot of people online complained this "resort was awful, near nothing blah blah". I don't think some people understand that is actually what some people want is to be away from the craziness. Is there anything around besides the beach.. no. However we are not kid people, we are not club or crowd people. And for that this resort is PERFECT. The beach is a quick 5 min walk from the pool (with a hill). For us it was a very simple and easy walk. You can get a golf cart ride if you want, but the amount of time you would wait for one you could just walk it if possible. The beach was full.. but we never had a hard time finding a spot. The resort offers little clam shell tents for shade with simple loungers or fold out chairs for free. They have a small stand for water, soda and beer and towels. The water didn't feel crowded. We snorkled over by the bouyees and saw multiple turtles. After 2 visits down and about 2 hours each we were over it and walked back up to the resort. They also had a small food stand where we got coconuts, Big Mamas grill (didnt use) and Rum Reef (didnt use) all in a do-able walk. The resort was clean, sleek, simple design and felt modern. It didnt feel cheesy or childish. It is easy to find your way around after about a day if you have any common sense. Since some people were saying they couldn't navigate around without needing help from staff. The food was delicious. Breakfast and lunch buffet had alot of choices and stations for different things. Seviche at Tierra, Caprese at Italian, cauliflower soup and salmon tartar at Oceana and sushi at Japanese were my favorite. We asked for a sushi sampler at the Japanese restaurant and they brought us a little bit of everything. We didnt eat at the Hibachi because it was already full when we got there, but if I did it again I wouldn't eat at the table anyways because I enjoyed a table outside. Our favorite part was we didn't feel rushed to leave the pool to make a reservation. We never made a reservation, ate dinner around 730 every night and only waited about 20 min 1 night for Oceana (mainly because its the smallest restaurant). Every other night we walked right in, no wait. One person we were with is gluten free and she ate with ease pretty much the entire week. However she is more gluten "intolerant " than deathly allergic. Best thing about the week was nothing felt crowded except the swim up bars later in the afternoon. Never got up early to fight for chairs at any pool and always had 4 chairs with umbrellas. One thing is don't go thinking the pool side service will be the same as AI pool service in say Mexico. They did have a couple people walking around the normal pools asking if you needed drinks but it is not like Mexico. You will need to get your own drinks if you drink them as fast as we do.. lol. However preferred pool service is better at that pool. We spent 95% of time in the regular infinity pool. You can still get preferred alcohol at that pool you just have to tell the bartender. Our Butler Sol was great. She texted every morning and her day off. We got a taxi to go into town 1 day and she set everything up for all 4 of us. We went to Palm Beach for a couple hours..... it was fun but didn't last long. We wanted to go back. The taxi was about 45 min drive and cost $65 or $70 each way. The preferred club.. was it worth it? For me personally I would say yes but thats probably just because I want the option to go wherever I want. I didn't even get the full use of preferred and would still buy it again just because I want the option. The alcohol in the preferred lounge was better. Grey Goose, Elijah Craig, corona and Coors ect vs titos or Smirnoff I think. It was nice to go in the lounge there and get away from the loudness if I wanted to. Our preferred room had Peanut MM, Pringle, Milky ways in the fridge. The other couple without preferred said they did not have those just FYI. The pillows on the bed did seem a little flat (but I have never found a hotel pillow I like). Room stayed cold at night with the temp all the way down and ceiling fan on. Water pressure and temperature in the shower was good. The "oil rig" sight everyone complains about didnt bother me at all. Would I prefer it not to be there.. yea sure. But people act like the resort is built behind it and it's not. Can you see it some.. yea. Was it an eye sore? No. I heard construction a couple times during the day but not at night or morning. Nothing that I probably would have even noticed if other people didnt complain about it. If we went back to Aruba we would do this resort again. Everyone was happy with the experience. Didn't feel crowded, but didn't get bored. They had a party-ish pool with activities and music. Food was great. Everyone was very nice and check in-check out was a breeze. Airport transportation booked through the website with Amstar was easy, however if we went back we would probably just do a taxi because they picked us up at noon and our flight didn't leave until 430pm. Photo is from my preferred club ocean view room 3344. 3rd floor

  Not goo

  To say this trip has left a lot to be desired is an understatement. Before I get into it, I will say the property is beautiful, the rooms were clean, spacious and had everything you needed. But you would not have believed this hotel has been open for over a year. Starting from check in our check in was at 3 and they had our room ready after that. Then getting around everyone you asked to show you where to go just didn’t give proper directions. We were lost in the heat for so long in our airplane clothes just to get food because our room wasn’t ready yet. The beach situation is a nightmare, it is a beautiful beach do not get me wrong, but the hotel is not even remotely connected to it. From room to beach it took at least 15 mins without a lick of shade and no golf carts to be found EVER. And you can totally get to the beach just fine but be sure to get there before 930 bc you will not get a lounge chair or any shade. BTW it is a very crowded public beach also. Secrets is currently constructing 2 more buildings to add to this resort so I can’t even imagine how much more awful the beach situation will get. When the front desk had a question for us they were calling our room before 9am w no regard that we can be sleeping which happened twice. Anywhere you went you had to check in and check out. The location of this hotel is the worst part about it. There is nothing within miles of the place it is desolate. No street lights, dirt roads, unmarked speed bumps, restaurants or entertainment. I honestly didn’t even feel like I was in Aruba, I felt like I was in Mexico.
