  Just stay at the Divi

  Have been to Aruba many times and stayed at the Divi All-inclusive twice. Thought we would save a few dollars by staying next door and it was not worth the savings. If you want to experience the beach, book the Divi instead. The Tamarijn doesn't have the best beachfront at all. Food was meh this time too, our previous experiences across the resorts is usually fantastic, so this was surprising. And as always, the staff is utterly fantastic.

  Would recommend !

  We came to this resort on our Anniversary/Honeymoon in October of 2025. Overall a great vacation. My only suggestion would be to have some kind of print out in the room or tell us where the QR code of the events and locations that were all inclusive. Our check in lady did not do that, she basically showed us a map and ran through it quickly, we had to take a picture. She rushed through the whole process while talking with another employee. We had no idea of any events going on so we missed out on a lot. We ended up finding the QR code on day 3 by the concierge desk. Regardless of them not informing of events and locations we still had a great time. Staff was so friendly and the food and drinks are great! The do have multiple shuttles that run until midnight to go back and forth around the resorts. If you get a beach view. Ask for 1st floor so you can walk right out to the beach which is steps from your room. They will call you a taxi, as well as any other offf site bar/restaurant. It is very safe to travel. We even rented a car for a day to go to a few off site places we wanted to see. Do keep in mind the specialty drinks are weak and sweet. You can order off menu. Would definitely come back!

  All Inclusive Tamarijn is recommended

  This was our first visit to the Tamarijn. Such a relaxing and enjoyable experience! The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food and hospitality at the Red Parrot, Club Margot and Paparazzi were outstanding. Very relaxing! Would definitely recommend!

  Enjoyable, but the place has some issues

  My general summary. I had an enjoyable time, I don't regret going but for the cost of this resort I think there are better options. THE GOOD: -The beach and ocean in this area was excellent. Sure it was rocky in spots but that made the snorkeling excellent in those areas. This is in contrast to the beach in the high rise hotel area (Palm beach) which was not enjoyable. That beach was a packed mess with boats moored everywhere. I don't want to go look out to see a boat harbor, that ruined Palm beach for me. -All of the food and restaurants were good to excellent. -The live entertainment, when it happened was good. THE BAD: -The bars and bar tenders were generally marginal or downright bad. The Bunker bar was the exception and was excellent. The problem with the bars was the focus on the various "featured" drinks, which were generally brightly colored, super sweet, garbage. Virtually every mixer I saw was a juice "cocktail" or equivalent flavored sugar water. I get that they need to deal with sloppy drunks who are happy to drink the equivalent of Hi-C mixed with the cheapest vodka or rum available, but some of us actually enjoy a good drink, made with decent ingredients. I lost track of how many awful drinks I had to throw out. For me the low point was when I asked for a Rum Runner and saw them using sour mix, what an awful drink. -When the music was not live it was generally awful, especially around the pools. I can best describe it as generic (Muzak style) Electric Dance Music (EDM). I enjoy EDM, but this was just a bland, repetitive, background mess of sound that I guess was supposed to give an energetic vibe, but it quickly became a very annoying, monotonous annoyance, like very loud, high beats per minute elevator music. -The snorkels and other "borrowed" items. You can't check borrow items until 8 AM and they demand all borrowed items like floats, snorkels, bikes, etc. to be returned at either 3 or 5 PM depending on the item. This is just stupid. That is not early enough if you want to do something at sunrise before it is super hot and it is not late enough to enjoy in the evening. Other than the bikes, all of the stuff we are borrowing is worth very little. This resort needs to buy and have enough of these low cost items on hand so that every room can have an enjoy these items for their entire stay. Let me take out a snorkel when I first check into my room and return it when I check out. If I don't return the item at the end of trip than just bill me the replacement cost, no one going here is broke. I don't want my day to based around picking up and returning borrowed items.

  erfect Beachfront Stay at Tamarijn Aruba! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  We absolutely loved our stay at the Tamarijn in Aruba! Our room was directly on the beach, and the view from our patio was breathtaking. We could literally step out of our room and be in the sand within seconds. For the best beach access, I recommend requesting rooms in the 1900–2400 range. Our room was a good size, though the bathroom was a bit small. That said, the incredible ocean view more than made up for it. The housekeeping team did a wonderful job and cleaned our room daily, which we especially appreciated since we traveled with our 3-year-old who somehow managed to track in sand every day! The staff throughout the resort was friendly, attentive, and always eager to help. Everyone greeted us with a smile, and service at the bars and restaurants was consistently fast and welcoming. We were also impressed with how clean and well-maintained everything was during our stay. The food was very good, with plenty of variety. Between the buffets, themed restaurants, and access to the neighboring Divi resort, there was always something new and delicious to try. And the beach absolutely stunning! Clear turquoise water, soft white sand, and plenty of space to relax without feeling crowded. Overall, Tamarijn Aruba is the perfect combination of comfort, beauty, and service. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or as a family, this resort truly has something for everyone.
