It's the most affordable way to stay in Aruba, and have easy access to Palm Beach.
What I wish I
could change:
It's not ON the beach, but an easy 3 minute walk to the beach.
Why YOU should
go:
If you want clean comfortable accommodation with swimming pool and restaurant all for a great price, this is the place for you. Suitable for families and couples.
The Mill Resort & Suites combines Dutch efficiency and Aruban warmth. Its strengths include personal service, easy access to amenities, and comparatively reasonable prices. This resort is ideally situated across the street from famed Palm Beach and has its own private section of beach only a seven-minute walk from your suite - Free beach shuttle service provide as well. A beach attendant is at your service with towels, chaise lounges and information on the wide variety of watersports and activities that await you. For those of you like to stay active, The Mill features two free-form swimming pools, children's wading pool, playground and a fully equipped health spa, steam room, facials, massage and fitness room.
Languish poolside in sun or shade with a frosty pina colada, enjoy a revitalizing facial or massage, learn salsa and Latin dancing, take an afternoon siesta in your fully appointed luxurious suite or a relaxed walk along the hotel strip. If it's action you crave, catch the bus to downtown Oranjestad to explore an endless sea of shops, snorkel or scuba, cruise turquoise Caribbean waters, take the off-road challenge or claim your own stretch of ivory beach.
