Amazing Aruba
You can not beat the location of the hotel or cost of this beach package. The hotel had a very comfortable bed and is very clean. Although the Holiday Inn shows it’s age a bit overall it is an amazing value.

Check in and housekeeping have issues
Love the location of the property and the service staff are great. The check in process is terrible. Each time we stay here it gets worse. The rooms are never ready when we arrive. They tell us to check
Back in an hour still not ready and the lines are so long and slow. Then they tell us 4 o’clock is actual check in. At 4 o’clock the manager checks with housekeeping and they say they just finished our room. We get to our room and when I open the refrigerator there is old pizza and something else in it. Gross. Our last day we left our room before 8 and returned at 415. Our room was not made up and I called housekeeping to let them know not to send anyone since we were going to nap. Just as we settled into take our nap housekeeping in knocking on the door. Poorly run in the housekeeping check in departments.
Also each night we heard music until 1 in the morning from a bar.
We booked a king size bed and got a 2 double bed for our entire stay. The front desk said since we booked through a 3rd party, they can’t guarantee us the king bed since they are all booked. The other bed in the room smelled like urine and Told front desk and they switched us to another room had no view facing the side wall and the roof and the room was dated. We decided to keep our other room since it wasn’t worth changing out the room.
we ended up called the front desk to have them change the sheets. Wait 30 mins no one showed up and called again and we were told someone will be the momentarily. Wait another 30 mins and gave up and went to dinner. After dinner we went to the front desk and told them the issue again and they sent housekeeping up to replace the sheet and mattes protector (See pic) thinking it will be good. We slept on the bed and the smell creeped back.
Some of the rooms there are so dated nothing like the pictures on their site. The pictures looks so much better. We had one free breakfast at the coral restaurant and the food was horrible and the fruits have fruit flies around them. Glad we didn’t have to pay for it cause the food was very disappointing. The only good thing I can say about this place was the taco nigh buffet there for $18, the food was pretty good, just don’t get the hard taco shell since it was stale.
If you want to impress your lady, this is not the best place to do it. I wished I spent more and stayed at another resort.
been there 40 times over the last 20yrs and mostly ok other than the dinner crew waited 40 min. for a salad the menu was limited , as far as the manager at night he walks around doing nothing and does not care. but the breakfast crew rocked.

If you use the gold "Book this Hotel" box in the upper left hand corner of the page (found here https://www.cheapcaribbean.com/core/resortAvailability/cc.3521.html) you can use this feature to price your dates of travel out of your departure city. Every hotel on our website has this box and it's the best way to price out several different options. You can also call one of our representatives at 800-915-2322 and they'll be happy to assist you with pricing!
KateCC
Hey Jim, Sorry but I never checked the rates at the Westin. I will say though that all the rooms at the holiday inn have a water view. The waterfront is $60 more a night if you choose to add it on to your package. We had a room on the 7th floor & we saw nothing but water from our room......not ocean front either. It was a great view for a great deal!

What if you want to more than 4 nights in Aruba?4 answers
Holiday inn sun spree
7 years, 96 months ago
Eileen
You may of course book more than 4 nights! The resort requires a four night minimum stay to qualify for the special pricing and the available promo code. If you book more than 4 nights you would still be able to take advantage of the special pricing. When you are pricing your trip simply add more days to the calendar to determine your final total.
ccsusan1
We spent 8 nights. When you apply for one thier packages, put in the actual length of stay you want and they will calculate your cost
Mike56
yes me and my family stayed 6 nights
Cheryle
We did 5 and that wasn't enough. There are so many more things to do. We didn't do all-inclusive because we didn't want to be hooked to holiday inn restaurants only. Plus we don't drink a lot.

How much extra is the All-Inclusive package?2 answers
7 years, 94 months ago
Chicago
If you want to select the All-Inclusive Plan you need to book the package with title "Holiday Inn Resort Aruba All Inclusive" otherwise meals and drinks will not be included. There are several options for the Dine Around progam if you prefer to eat off property. These selections will be available on the upgrade section of the booking process.
KellyCC
When I was there 3 years ago, the all inclusive was an extra $120 a day.
Karenh99
Personally, I would not go all inclusive to this hotel. There are plenty of options to choose from outside. I usually go all-inclusive and I'm so glad I didn't on this trip.

Is this resort all-inclusive?5 answers
7 years, 94 months ago
Tdmoon
Holiday Inn Aruba offers the option to puchase their resort with and without the All inclusive plan. Cheap Caribbean lists the Holiday Inn Aruba with the All inclusive plan as a separate resort. Please refer to using our create your own vacation package on our home page and choose the Holiday Inn that says All Inclusive in the resort name.
MeganCC
You can choose whether or not you would like to take the all-inclusive option. I did not, however many of the guests were all-inclusive.
Dand825
This is an all inclusive option. I however did not choose it.
lyngigi
It is but I would recommend NOT going for that option.

This is an all inclusive resort but we choose not to go AI due to all the restaurants within walking distance

If you would like to book a vacation package where the dates of check in and check out for the resort do not match the dates of travel for your airline flights, you would just need to call into our reservation center and a sales agent would be able to assist you with your customized vacation package.
KristinCC
The stamp on the passport from Aruba says for 30 days and no employment. I would think that allows you to stay for up to 30 days.

No, the Marriott is a fair distance away on its own. The Holiday Inn is on the coast along side radisson and playa Linda. I prefer the Holiday Inn location compared to the Marriott.

Some places like the iguana bar, kids eat free!! we didnt do the all inclusive so we could experience the life and culture of aruab.

They do not provide free airport transportation. You can included them in your package at an additional cost.

No. $25.00 US for a cab

No, and I would suggest taking a cab if staying at any of the hotels along the beach. It is a flat rate of $25. We took Depalm tours transfer and paid $20 per person and you have to stop at several hotels along the way:o(

I do not think so.
