Jun 26, 2025Hilton Aruba - a classic that is showing it's age but still one of the best
We’re a family of four who enjoy Hilton Diamond status and had a wonderful stay at the Hilton Aruba. The resort strikes a great balance between comfort, location, and thoughtful service—perfect for a relaxed beach vacation. The Good - Gorgeous, well-kept grounds with plenty of space to explore and relax - Quick and easy check-in - Bonaire and Curaçao towers have nicely updated rooms - Breakfast (included for two with Diamond status) was a daily highlight—delicious omelets, crisp bacon, and fresh juices - Lots of thoughtful extras, like the S’mores setup for our family with water bottles and lavender-scented towels—such a nice touch - Yoga on the beach was a peaceful way to enjoy the sunset - Ideal location—right on Palm Beach and walking distance to great restaurants and shops The Not-So-Good It’s one of the older hotels on the island, and while well maintained, that shows in places - Bathrooms are on the smaller side, and ceilings are a bit low - It’s not a true luxury resort, but is upscale and has a very welcoming vibe Construction Update It was a non-event. We rented a palapa every day (very worth it). There's some noise, but it generally drowns out. Also, The Shore Club tower is currently closed so occupancy is way down. Also, know that the Spa is currently closed and was shifted to some rooms in the Curacao tower -- definitely not the same. Overall, the Hilton Aruba is a fantastic choice for families. It’s comfortable, convenient, and full of thoughtful details that made our stay memorable—we’ll definitely come back.

Overall a very nice hotel. Great location to restaurants. Beach is amazing. The construction was of no bother to us cause we were always on the beach. If you are more of a pool person by aware there is only one pool open and it is small. Biggest disappointment to me was their "24/7" fitness center doesn't exist. As part of the remodel that spa building is closed and there is no gym....just a room with fee cardio machines. If you dont plan to work out or use the pool, you will love this place.

Jun 25, 2025Great location
Pros: -Room in the curaçao tower was nice and clean -complimentary palapas are towards the back on the beach and can be reserved online -has activities for the kids but mostly kept them engaged for 5-10mins -great location and walking distance to a lot of restaurants Not really issues but did impact the experience: -Oceanview was underwhelming as there were construction cranes on both left right side and barely any ocean. -due to construction one pool was closed, some days were more dusty than other depending on what the crew was doing at the closed off pool. -breakfast was ok, mostly same spread everyday, no variety -beach had a lot of boats from water activities so not as peaceful as I thought it would be. -massage was ok but overprice for what I got (seems like temporary location due to construction as the massage rooms were same as guest rooms).

Jun 15, 2025Under reform, impossible to enjoy!
I'm staying here for a week today. The entire hotel is a construction site. And they don't tell you when you make a reservation. The pool is less than half the size. There's noise and dust everywhere, making it impossible to rest. The gym is closed and when you complain, they call a taxi to take you to a private gym far from the hotel and you have to pay for it.

Update on Construction
This is an update on the construction at The Hilton in Aruba. We were concerned about the construction that other reviewers mentioned. It really wasn’t too bad. We rented the palapa furthest from construction and we never heard a thing. I’m did here it one morning by the pool, but 30 minutes later they started playing music and we couldn’t here the construction anymore. One thing to consider is only one pool was open due to construction, however we never had a problem getting chairs by the pool.
