Great all inclusive trip
Nice trip. Very clean and so many amenities. Everyone is so helpful and happy. Food and drinks were great. Hugo at the Oceanfront Bar and Grill went above and beyond to make sure we were served promptly. Definitely will visit again.

Top Notch Vacation With Great Service at the Holiday Inn.
Everything about this week at the Aruba Holiday Inn was amazing. When we arrived we received a very detailed front desk check in with Margot. Super friendly and detailed. All the staff we experienced were very friendly and welcoming. Hotel services at the bars and restaurants were very good and the one person that really stood out was Francisco. Francisco had a lot of energy and was one of the best pool servers that we ever had in any resort. The rooms are Holiday Inn but as soon as you step out of the rooms it turns into a beach resort with 3 pools and a couple hot tubs, pool towel service and of course great drinks and food. There is also such a vibrant street life with vendors, restaurants and clubs all within a few walking minutes. This was our first time staying in Aruba and we will definitely return to the Holiday Inn.

Best burger ever, even better service from Veronica
The Seabreeze Burger was the most delicious burger I’ve ever had in my life at this place. We also had excellent service and a great experience because of Veronica, who was extremely attentive and recommended the burger in the first place. We’ve been coming to Aruba for over 30 years and have eaten at almost every lunch spot on Palm Beach, but this one is the winner. A family member had the Salmon Poke, which was also delicious. Highly recommend!

Amazing, convenient, walkable
We had a wonderful experience here for the second time! The hotel is in the perfect location, clean, and beautiful! The view from our partial ocean view room was amazing. Most importantly, the staff is so friendly and accommodating. Hugo at the Oceanside Bar was especially excellent! He remembered us from the last time and gave us such wonderful service every time he saw us! We were stuck for three extra nights because of a snowstorm, and the staff was kind, let us stay in our room, and gave us a discounted rate. Palapas were easy to rent, and we noticed they were nicely spaced and not as cramped in as other hotels. We would definitely stay here again.
- AdvisoryWe are happy to report that we have successfully completed all the renovation works. Our property is now operating at 100%. Palm Lobby Bar & Cafe; Sea Breeze Restaurant & Bar and Pool located by the Sea Tower is open with its regular hours of operation, as previously announced.
