    Premium location in Aruba

    We stayed at the royal suites. The location is perfect. The hotel itself it’s a bit outdated, but it’s very well maintained and services are impeccable. A shout out to Ralph at the beach bar that was there every day making sure all the guest were getting hydrated! For those who like running, there is a pathway that passes in front of the hotel, if you take it north, it’s about 6 km to the light house (12 km round trip). There are buses you can take back if you don’t want to take the round trip. The beach is Caribbean best, but it can be a bit crowded at times.

    Time to Renovate and Upgrade

    We love the idea of an all-inclusive so we picked the Barcelo Aruba. The staff is very friendly and try to be helpful. The facilities are not so great. The so-called Royal Level is only worth it if you are looking for someone to make your dinner reservations and for one bar that serves drinks on the beach. To get a chair on the beach you need to be up by 7am and tip someone to hold the space for you. Same for the pool. The breakfast and lunch buffets are not very good. We think the best restaurant was the Italian. That wasn’t great either so we ate at restaurants off the resort for several dinners. Very limited choice for wine. The location is great for nightlife. You are across the street from a plaza full of shopping, restaurants and music. Overall, the facility needs a lot of repair. The tiles of the pool are chipped and falling apart, the furniture in the rooms need TLC. The bathrooms could use a good deep clean and some restoration. Will look for a different hotel for the next trip.

    Great stay for a weekend getaway

    The room was clean and cozy. No seaweed at the beach. All restaurants that required booking were amazing. The staff is always smiling and trying to assist you in any way possible. Room service does a great job making sure you come back to a clean room with fresh linens and towels. Overall worth the money.
