  Perfect Aruba Vacation Hilton Aruba

  Our stay at the Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino was everything we hoped for and more, perfectly capturing the spirit of "One Happy Island." From the breathtaking beachfront to the incredible dining, every detail contributed to a wonderful getaway. What truly set it apart, however, was the genuine warmth and outstanding service of the people. Two members of the team, in particular, made our trip extraordinary. From check-in, Elton Trezil, the Front Office Manager, made us feel immediately welcome. His professional and kind manner set the tone for our entire stay. Understanding we were celebrating, he generously arranged a beautiful room upgrade for us—a gesture that meant so much. It’s easy to see why he is in a leadership role; he embodies a true passion for hospitality. We are also so grateful to Angeline Dijkhoff. Her knowledge and effort secured a perfect beach palapa for us, guaranteeing a slice of paradise by the water every single day. We later learned she is celebrated for her many years of dedicated service at the resort, which clearly reflects a culture that values and retains its best people. The resort's location on Palm Beach is simply ideal. We spent our days on pristine white sand, wading into turquoise waters that never felt crowded. A highlight was The Shore Club, the resort's fantastic new open-air restaurant and bar tucked between the pool and the sea. It became our favorite spot to unwind as the day turned to evening. It was more than a vacation; it was a genuinely flawless experience, thanks to a team that clearly cares. We cannot wait to return.

  Lively location, mid-range resort.

  Located on the lively palm beach strip, this hotel has been recently renovated in many areas. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. The property was clean and the staff were friendly. The beach was okay (prefer a more lush tropical setting) but had plenty of chairs and shade. Easy walk to many restaurants and shops. Not recommended for those looking for quiet luxury; best for mid-range budget and those looking to leave the resort and experience the area shops)

  Couples wedding and vacation

  Pros Location was excellent. Pool was small for the hotel size Tropical themed resort was cool Bartenders at Sunset bar were great the nights we were there especially an older Spanish speaking lady super friendly and great with keeping us hydrated and on top of everything. Garden view not bad for our room just make sure to get ateast 4th floor or higher and we were building 3 which was a nice stroll to everything Cons Room was half the size if not smaller than our room at the RIU Fridge broke and our stuff got all ruined. We had 3 fridges in our 4 days there Not all inclusive ***Expensive but that’s all of Aruba**

  Papaya reservation period was shortened? Why??

  We’ve been staying at the Aruba Hilton twice a year, for a number of years. We love it there. We were planning on going back in April, 2026. However, we just learned that starting in 2026, the Palaypa’s are not available to be reserved until 2 weeks prior to the day they’ll be needed. It had been 6 weeks prior, before this change. In addition to this, there are now a lot more hotel guests due to the availability of the 161 recently constructed guest rooms. So, if anything, you’d figure the Palaypa reservation time would be lengthened, not shortened. On a sub-tropical island like Aruba, your Papaya (and its location) can often play an integral part in your vacation. Therefore, perhaps management can give us an explanation for their hard-to-comprehend decision. On the surface, it seems to defy logic.

  Stranded in Paradise

  The hotel felt very exclusive. It’s a small resort so not as crowded. We were stuck here when flights were grounded and the hotel staff worked hard to help us with rooms and services. It wasn’t ideal, but they tried hard to make it less stressful for us. Bradley at the front desk was a standout employee, as were Jeremy, William, and Santiago of the Beach Bites crew. We also really enjoyed interacting with the birds daily — paquita, one, two, rolito, pk, Laura, Guapa and Aruba, and of course our favorite, Pepe. They were the sweetest birds and the handlers were the nicest guys ever. Thank you to the hotel staff for helping to make a stressful stay feel less stressful.
