Dec 19, 2025Best beach on Palm Beach.
The Holiday Inn Aruba is the oldest Hotel on Palm Beach. They have a 1/4 mile of the best beach in Aruba. The resort is well maintained and has had some recent improvements. Replacement of the door in two of the towers, new tile in the retail lobby, replacement of the kitchen at the Iguana bar, new beach chairs and lounge chairs. The buildings have just been repainted , looks really good. The rooms are dated but clean. The housekeeping staff is amazing. The grounds are very well maintained. This was our first December trip and the hotel is very nicely decorated. All the staff from waiters to the beach crew, bartenders and the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. The only two things I think of that need attention. The Bar at the Sea Breeze Restaurant is really high, I feel like a need a booster seat. We love to eat there a couple nights but it's difficult due to the bar height, they really need higher chairs. The rooms could use some updating. Hopefully the current upgrades will address this.

We love Victor and Josuel
We had the best time ever with Victor and Josuel on a very special trip with my mother and aunt with special needs. They were beyond accommodating and made a beautiful and tasty drink for my aunt. It was her most favorite part of the trip. Thank you two and Aruba! Will be back. 💞
