Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive

I enjoyed this hotel because the rooms are steps aways from the beach and has a view of the ocean. The food at all the restaurants were great and the staff are extremely sweet & accommodating, especially Jennifer and Carolina. As for the rooms, the beds and pillows are comfortable, however the dressers in the rooms need to be replaced. I had to switch rooms because the drawers were stuck and was difficult to slide out. My suggestion to them is to apply a can of W240 spray if they do not replace the dresser. Otherwise everything else was great!

The resort was amazing, very clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant selection had a good variety and was easy to make reservations. Beach was beautiful with white sand and not many rocks which made it very easy to walk on. Would highly recommend this resort to others!

I loved that we could walk about 20 steps out of our 1st floor doorwall and be on the beach. Our view was gorgeous! The great thing about this hotel is that every room had an oceanview. We had a hiccup with some construction blocking our first rooms view so we sacrificed our king bed for 2 queens and they changed our room with little inconvenience to us. Jennifer at the front desk was extremely helpful and so nice. We stayed 5 days & 4 nights. The food was good, some of it was great, depended on what they served that day at the buffet. You ate at the buffet for breakfast and lunch and then could make reservations for dinner at several restaurants including restaurants at the Divi next door. The buffet got a little tiring after being there for 5 days but they did try to switch it up. Service was good on the whole, room was cleaned every morning. We aren't big nightlife people--our thing is snorkeling all day and plopping in bed at night--but it did sound like they had entertainment every night. Our last night they did have a calypso music session and we sat out on the lounge chairs by the pool and enjoyed the caribbean music. The resort souvenir shops were overpriced, of course, but we had a car and went to the flea market and got some good deals. Even downtown shops for t-shirts and towels etc. were cheaper.Won't need to pack beach towels and use up space in your luggage-they provide them for you. But DO bring conditioner--they only supply shampoo and it's in a dispenser on the shower wall. I thought the Divi next door (their sister hotel) was a nicer hotel but it is more expensive. For us, the Tamarijn was just fine but if you like a nicer place choose the Divi. Our room was just left of the picture.

The resort was absolutely beautiful from the reception area, to the pool, bars, restaurants and the rooms. The service/staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Josie at the reception desk was so helpful when one of our flights were delayed and then when both of our suitcases were lost, she really went above and beyond to help us. Rafael at the pool bar made the best drinks! Our vacation was cut short by two days due to flight scheduling delays, so we didn't get to try the other restaurants and only at at the buffet, but everything was very good and there were so many options, we didn't need to venture to the other restaurants. Our room was right on the beach, with a nice patio that met the sand and the water was only about 25 steps away, so the view was stunning throughout the entire visit. The rooms were nice and very clean. We will be returning because our vacation was so short and we didn't get to do everything we had planned - and we will be staying at the Tamarijn! Due to flight issues, lost baggage, and no customer service help from CheapCaribbean, we won't be using their services to return.
