  The very best hotel in Aruba. It's not even close.

  An 4.0 rating for Secrets Baby Beach Aruba is a pretty clear sign that some reviewers don’t actually understand Aruba. My family has been coming to the island for decades and we now own a home here. I’ve stayed for weeks at a time at nearly every major property: the Palm Beach high-rises (Hyatt, Marriott, Ritz), the Eagle Beach low-rises, all the major timeshares (Divi, Casa del Mar, ABC), boutique properties like Manchebo, and even checked out JOIA. I don’t say this casually—this is the nicest hotel in Aruba. Baby Beach is easily the best beach on the island for swimming and relaxing. The water is calm, shallow, and crystal clear, with none of the Palm Beach chaos. No waves, no jet skis buzzing past you, no blaring music from beach bars trying to manufacture a party. You float, you swim, you unwind. That’s the point. Most of the negative reviews come from people who booked the quiet side of the island and then seemed surprised that it was… quiet. If your idea of nightlife is watching a few guys drink until 1 a.m. at a Palm Beach bar, you booked the wrong resort and probably the wrong beach. This is not that vibe, and it’s intentionally not that vibe. Secrets is ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and couples who actually want to relax. The atmosphere is modern, calm, and polished. The rooms are very much styled like the EDITION brand design and energy, and it's spotless, but genuinely all-inclusive. And unlike most all-inclusive resorts, the food is not something you “tolerate.” On a very small island with a limited supply chain, it’s kind of remarkable that Secrets delivers what is, in my experience, the best food in Aruba. Four excellent dinner restaurants, an Italian restaurant with the best risotto on the island (my partner is Italian, so this isn’t a casual compliment), the strongest buffet I’ve seen here, and sushi that’s shockingly good for the Caribbean. I mean this is an all-inclusive, it's incredible value when considering you are getting a higher quality resort along with the fact that food is included. Oh and they actually have nightly entertainment. If you didn’t love it, that’s fine — it probably just means you were looking for Palm Beach with a wristband. A lot of the complaints focus on the resort being “away from everything,” which is the entire point. This is a romantic, secluded getaway on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. That’s not a design flaw, it’s the concept. If you’re stressed because there aren’t endless “activities” or places to bounce around to, the issue probably isn’t the location. It might just be that you don’t actually enjoy slowing down and spending time with your partner without a schedule, a bar crawl, or a DJ telling you when to have fun. Secrets assumes you came here to relax, talk, eat well, swim, nap, repeat — and that turns out to be surprisingly polarizing. For everyone else, that’s exactly why it’s perfect.

  Hidden gem

  This resort was hidden gem. I love how it was secluded, very private and away from the crowded spots of Aruba. A big shoutout to Jeff, our butler and Vernel, the food & bar manager. They went above and beyond for us. They made our trip more memorable. Overall, the property was very clean and well maintained. Our room was perfectly located in front of preferred hot tub/pool and we had a private pool. Housekeeping and turn down service were very precise. I love the spa so much, that I got 3 massages within 12 days. I’ve traveled to so many places including Europe and Asia, this is one of few properties I highly recommend.

  Highly recommend Secrets Baby Beach Resort-you won’t regret it!:)

  Baby Beach Secrets Resort is a 5 star experience. From the delicious variety of foods, amazing music, beautiful pools, breath-taking view of the ocean, clean resort to the fabulous employees, this resort shines above others. The employees are what truly made the experience-they were nice, fun, helpful, and always were welcoming and had positive attitudes. They seriously were the best! I also highly recommend getting a massage from the Resort’s Spa & request Carolina. She was kind, professional, checked in with me throughout the massage, and did an amazing job! She was gentle but firm and I felt beyond relaxed during and after my massage!:)

  First time to Secrets Baby Beach Girls Trip!

  Where do I begin .. first Aruba is BEAUTIFUL! Only thing that caught me a bit off guard on weather was the wind , I couldn’t keep a hat on if my life depended on it 🤣 and lots of ponytails at night for dinner :) From the second I arrived at Baby Beach Secrets I was welcomed with so much love. The concierge guys at the front, Reymond, Juan Carlos, Oslin , and the security guy were so friendly and so much fun to talk to. My friend already had arrived so it was a smooth check in. Only hiccup was I am UVC impressions so I booked a preferred ocean view room with 2 beds, instead we got a king and a view of construction. Heads up the rooms on the outside ( ocean view) are prob gonna face the dirt pile since they are building a dreams. However they were great about switching us to a Swim Out instead the next day! Our trip was fabulous for the most part , honestly it was the staff that made it that way most! I’ve never met a friendlier staff in all my travels! Here is my shout outs to who really stood out and made it such a fun week! Coco cafe Ladies Annabella , Stephanie and others! Loved seeing them every morning for my coffee and their smiles! Jack, our butler! Words can’t describe how wonderful he was! He checked on us all the time, made everything happen and even helped other guests who didn’t have the best exp with their butler! If you go preferred trust me when I say you want Jack! At the pools where are entire days were spent we had the greatest server Jared! He was on top of all the food and drinks anytime we needed it, also his colleague Emilio took such care of me at the main pools when I was playing bingo and all the other fun activities! Speaking of pools the ENTERTAINMENT team seriously deserves the biggest kudos ever! They were so genuine, fun, friendly, and made the best of what they have ! Huge shout outs to Taiisia , Ivy, Lisa, and the team! Our housekeeper was also fabulous and Disney who cleaned our pool every morning she even tried to teach me papiamento! Denise at marketplace was my favorite server of all time! I can’t wait to see her again! The food was incredible every night as well! No complaints at all. I missed the beach being attached but it wasn’t the worst they make sure it’s easy for you to get down there and enjoy, Last but not least I had the opportunity to meet Jose Maria the GM and he was incredible! So kind, genuine, and truly cares about people! I can’t wait to go back!
