Noord hotels

Pros: Breakfast delivery to the Casita

Pros: Very spacious one bedroom apt. Very cute casitas. Quiet. Not crowded like high rise hotels. Beach was 5 minute walk. Huts at beach provided shade. Very accommodating. Cooler. Snorkel masks.

Pros: Staff was wonderful and the environment of the property was so relaxing.

Pros: It was a beautiful apartment, The grounds were serene and bring you back to nature,no loud music ,just the wind and the birds.You actually almost never get that anymore ,there is always piped music.We felt super relaxed and recharged!

Cons: The beds could have been more comfortable,

Pros: Tropical oasis that allows you to get away from everything with all the amenities you need right across the street (palapa set up was excellent!). Friendly staff, personalized feel to stay, great space with bright decor, awesome patio, and full kitchen which is convenient, use of beach chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, etc.

Cons: Not much. They were doing some upgrades so construction and landscaping taking place on the property but didn’t interfere with our stay much. It will be extra beautiful when the expansion is complete.

Pros: Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable accommodation with a lovely pool.

Cons: Generally quite expensive but then again everything is either shipped or flown in.

Pros: Lovely & cosy without noice and loud music. Good kitchen to cook your own meals.

Cons: Mosquitos were quite annoying but luckily there were sprays to get rid off them.

Pros: Staff were great and friendly. The location is great and people are very friendly. Convenient, pleasant, and really easy to get to and from in a cab or on bus! Will go back there again!

Cons: Concierge was not available a lot of the time. Really liked the facilities minus the sewage smell in the courtyard and in the pool area at times.

Pros: The property is spotless and meticulously maintained. Landscaped nicely . The staff was friendly and the service at the bar and restaurants are great. Pool is lovely . Best of all...the beach.

Cons: The lighting in the room was poor. Suggest adding some lighting in the little kitchen area. New brighter bulbs in bathroom over sinks. The breakfast buffet at Mangoes offered a good selection but is overpriced.

Pros: Great location. Respectful guests. You don't realize how loud, obnoxious vacationers can affect YOUR vacation until you've experienced it. This is a smaller, quieter, more intimate resort. We spent 18 nights in Aruba at 3 different resorts. Amsterdam was our last stop and was definitely our favorite. We really enjoyed everything about it!

Pros: Beach was steps from the front of the hotel and there was always an umbrella, beach chairs, and towels ready for us. The happy hours were great. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we loved that the rooms had kitchens so you could grab groceries for the Super Food down the street. Such a nice addition. There is also a mini market at the hotel in case you need something quickly.

Cons: More families than I had expected. The pool was used by children exclusively. The location has ups and downs - there is nothing to the north until the high rises so you are a bit isolated. It is nice because it isn't super crowded and it is intimate, but it also means you have to travel a bit to get to other restaurants and activities.

Cons: The safe in the suite was able to be opened by anyone who resets it. Also they dont change the sheets but will clean the rest of the room. The location was great. Breakfast was amazing and costumer service was excellent. I would definitely stay here again just have to make sure I get clean sheets after a couple days.

Pros: Friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, excellent beach, nice beach bar, excellent restaurant on the beach, efficiency rooms so we could have breakfast/lunch/snacks/drinks in the room, grocery store only a short walk away

Cons: Nothing at all!

Pros: Quiet - eagle beach is the best!

Pros: I liked the beach and the amenties at the beach including chairs and floaties for the ocean

Pros: Close proximity to beach, friendly staff.

Cons: Could have had a mirror in the main room, for when the bathroom is all steamed up or someone is in it. Front desk was not helpful about my getting to the airport by bus. She wouldn’t even venture a guess as to how long it takes. From the time you step on the bus across the street, til the time you arrive at the airport, including the 15 minute transfer wait is just under an hour. Also, the bus does allow back packs on board. Three separate front desk people told me no backpacks were allowed.

Pros: The staff, the facilities, the location were just awesome. If we decided to adventure to the area they call the Highrises or uptown we caught the bus or taxi for 2 American dollars which was great. Cant wait to go back soon!

Cons: NA

Pros: We had an amazing time at Amsterdam Manor the rooms were clean and the staff was very accommodating. The beach was the highlight. It never gets too crowded and it so beautiful.

Cons: Food was overpriced it wasn't that delicious

Pros: Over all Everything was terrific! So clean, amazingly refreshing and friendly staff members. Food was great drinks amazing. We were saying the whole time how our children would love it We cannot wait to bring them! Felt safe and comfortable. Totally upped our vacation standards after visiting!

Cons: Our first day or 2 we did not need or request room service and hung the sign saying so on the door but the other days we had liked to have and the maid service did not come at all during our stay even after taking the sign off the door and requesting it. Happy was only 2 of us staying in the room so wasn’t terrible they did not come .

Pros: The lazy river is awesome!!! The unit had everything we needed. Beds were a little harder than I’m use to but everyone else I was with thought they were comfortable. Love the quick breakfast and lunch options in the shop and happy hour drinks were great in the compass lounge. From stepping out of the taxi upon arrival until stepping back in taxi for departure the people were amazing and oh so Happy and great to converse with!!! Thank You for an amazing time at your resort :)

Cons: I didn’t like when I booked the unit when it says “Ocean Side” I expect to be on Ocean Side and actually have a view of the ocean, so was very disappointed that our view was on the side of the lighthouse building above the playground and our view wasn’t of the ocean besides a sliver of water through the palm trees!!! I also sent 2 emails to the property requesting a higher floor, high chair & pack n play and never got a response to either email and ended up on the 4th floor. But seeing how we spent most of our time enjoying the lazy river and beach we took the lack of view as a minor blip.

Pros: Good location and nice comfortable room

Cons: I’ve booked a room with ocean view and was given a room on the 2nd floor facing the pool. I had to go back to the front desk after seeing the room. Glad that they fixed it and booked me to the 9th floor where I could partially see the ocean view.

Pros: Beautiful grounds; great villa ammenties.

Cons: The need to tag beach chairs at 7am while on vacation is quite annoying.

Pros: The property was very big with a lot to do. Very family oriented although we didn't bring kids. However, everyone kept their kids under control. Not once did I feel annoyed by children!!!! The staff around the resort did their best to keep everyone happy. Not complaints here

Cons: Room was just fair. Nothing to write home about. Front desk said my bed was a Queen but it seemed way smaller than mine. However, it was clean!

Pros: The pools, lazy river, jacuzzis, water slide and beachfront were great and clean, and the staff was super friendly and helpful, as were many of the guests. The location is very good. There are a large number of off site restaurants and shops within a mile of the hotel. There is always pretty immediate access to taxis. The room was very clean and had some nice amenities, like a decent sized mini fridge and a microwave, as well as a small set of dishes and silverware. The bathroom was clean and comfortable, with plenty of storage space in the vanity.

Cons: They consider any room where you can see any little sliver of the ocean to be "Ocean View", whereas any other resort I've stayed at would have called it a partial ocean view. In the first room, we had a view of the pool and lazy river, and if we leaned out over the balcony and looked right, we could see a little slice of ocean. I complained and they moved us, but the next view was only somewhat better. Several staff members admitted to me that they get that complaint a lot. For the size of the rooms, the limited view, and how outdated they were, I wish I'd have spent a little extra and stayed at the Hyatt. We were also called every day of our stay, trying to get us to come to a time share demonstration. This was a bit annoying. The bed was uncomfortable, but I have back issues, and almost every bed but my own bothers my back. My husband also complained of being uncomfortable. The room was very small for the price. There is only one restaurant on site, unless you include those at the Ocean Club and Stellaris Casino. We didn't go there because my husband had some mobility issues, and it was a bit far for him to walk. So we ate at the Galley several times for lunch. The food was ok. One day, it made us both pretty sick.

Pros: Very clean property and friendly staff. The pool is amazing!

Cons: It’s not as close to tourist shops and restaurants if you want to go off property

Pros: Friendly people, great location, restaurants

Cons: Marriott held a wedding reception outside on Friday night - VERY LOUD with no warning - went to close to 11:00. Was right outside our room. I'm sure folks with small children did not like that. Also shuttle from marriott to marriott should run during the day. Lastly - the process to book palapas/huts was extremely annoying - got to be a better way.

Pros: Food was really good. Room was spacious and bathroom large to accommodate several people in one room.

Cons: The hotel could’ve acknowledge our concern about construction and use of power tools early in the morning on the hall right behind our room and where our beds were. Not the way we wanted to wake up.

Pros: Beach

Cons: Too expensive way too expensive compared to all inclusive

Pros: The staff were very polite and helpful. the concierge made us a great travel plan. we even lost our ticket to one of the tours and hotel staff printed out another one with no issues. We had a great time in the hotel and in Aruba. The staff was s

Pros: Everything

Pros: Generally clean, well-equipped resort - good restaurants, gym, pools. Particularly enjoyed the over 18 pool

Cons: Expensive - everything is pricey. Right next to the Ritz Carlton so I guess should have expected that. Farther from most of the Palm Beach restaurants and shops than most of the other "high rise" hotels. They are walkable but it's a longer walk. Some of the staff were very pleasant, but others had attitude - you can tell who appreciates tourists and who doesn't

Pros: Breakfast was good - price was too high

Pros: The hotel staff was absolutely outstanding in terms of the commitment to doing quality work associated with their particular role and being genuinely pleasant as you interacted with them,

Cons: It sounds really trite, but the climate control (thermostat) in the room was really problematic. Hot, cold, on, off. I ended up getting a damn cold in the tropics.

Pros: Hotel Staff was wonderful, very professional, friendly and accommodating. Hotel grounds were very well maintained and clean. Restaurants and stores within the hotel (in addition to the casino) were very nice to have onsite.

Cons: I would have appreciated a hotel shuttle from/to the airport and certain Palm Beach and Downtown locations. As with many resorts, beach palapas and pool lounge chairs were at a premium.

Pros: Everything was first class. Was right on the beach.

Cons: No

Pros: Rooms were clean and large sized.great view of the ocean. Staff was friendly

Cons: Wish we could have stayed longer

Pros: Clean and well maintained

Cons: No water bottles in the room

Pros: the rooms were super comfortable and the beds were heavenly. THe staff was friendly, and helpful when you asked, but I expected more from the Ritz.

Cons: I preface this by saying I had high expectations for The Ritz based upon previous stays at other locations. Compared to other stays at The Ritz-Carlton, the service was lacking. They missed turn down service 2 nights. THere was no one at the pool hut to give out towels. The food was just ok, and served with plastic ramikins, which surprised me.

Pros: The staff was very attentive and personable. The hotel was clean and organized. Our room had a nice balcony and we enjoyed the outdoor music.

Cons: On the beach, we were told chairs were taken/ reserved on a first come first serve basis and watched as some went unused all day bc people didn’t come back! A little disappointing to sit behind a tree when front row chairs sat empty all day. Seems pushy people got what they wanted and others,like us, were told we had to sit else where.

Pros: It was the best location on the island! The beach and water were perfect! The staff was amazing and made our experience exceptional.

Pros: The staff was awesome and our executive suite was lovely.

Cons: I would recommend checking the air quality. It was a bit warm in the hallways waiting for the elevators. Also for the price, I would expect entertainment every night for longer periods of time. I thought the songs were short with too many breaks.

Pros: The Staff were excellent. Location was perfect. Beach was beautiful and not crowded. Sunsets were amazing

Pros: The room detail

Cons: We were aware there would be construction and some noise. But was not aware there would be NO HOT WATER from 9-5 for our entire trip. This was a disaster and total inconvenience especially traveling with children .. To pay $515 a night and experience this was horrible. They are under staff. And there payment Process at this property is horrible. You are Constantly harassing you about payment and your bill the entire trip. We received our rooms 2 hours late . But when requested a late check out was not accommodated. I would never stay at this property again.. Not worth the money . I love Aruba and I travel here often . I have stayed at multiple properties on the island. And this was by far my worst experience. I choose this property Because I was traveling with the family... Bad choice. Honestly I would like a refund...

Pros: Plenty of room at the beach between palapas. Not a lot of fuss and rules. Treat people like adults and they act that way!

Cons: Electric outlets are scarce in units. Internet available but had to keep logging in

Pros: Proximity to the beach, the kitchen was great, the fitness ctr was good, check in & out were great, but the front desk staff didn’t always know the rules and conflicted with security - which caused bus problems.

Cons: Front desk not knowing the rules

Pros: The location was excellent. It was close to everything you need/want and the beach was perfect. The staff is outstanding and the facilities were well kept and nice.

Pros: There was a quick response to the our complaint. We were moved to another room away from construction. This is beautiful place to stay. The staff was amazing. Great Customer service!!!!

Cons: There was construction going on all week in the rooms. Boxes all over.

Pros: This resort was recommended to us by friends that have stayed there. Everything about it was exceptional. From the room, to the staff, food and location, this was absolutely a great place and great vacation for my wife and me.

Cons: Maybe a better system to reserve the cabanas. With that being said, we were happy with it.

Pros: Great location, convenient shopping and eating areas

Cons: Room is small, a bit dated

Pros: It was very well maintained. Very clean and updated.

Cons: There was nothing I didn’t like!!!

Pros: Very friendly staff Hotel on the beach, location is perfect

Cons: There were renovations going on while we were there. The noise was unbearable. Baby couldn’t nap with all the drilling and banging. Unacceptable! Seemed like I was more tired than being on vacation. Horrible!!! Then they decide that a day prior to our leave, we have to change our room. Are you kidding?? For 1 day? That wasn’t planned, they hadn’t told us when we booked. So we packed and unpacked, with baby, toddler, food etc for only 1 day.

Pros: I liked the staff, and it was very clean.

Cons: I did not like that you had to pay for shade.

Pros: They had yoga, biking, kayaking, & paddle boarding on the property for free. The staff was very helpful - assisting in any way necessary to ensure your success with whatever you did. The Laguna had wonderful breakfasts and Lilliana was the best waitress ever - understanding my need for gluten-free food. We had dinner twice at the Sunset grill. My snapper was wonderful & my husband loved his martini salad. It was a really inventive way to present a salad. Virgilio was a very sweet & patient server. He also accommodate my gluten free needs. Overall, I was very happy. When a problem did arise with our not getting a palapa because their website malfunctioned, Vicky resolved the problem.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Cleanliness of room and maid service was top notch. Service from most staff was wonderful. The food at this property, from causal to the steakhouse was excellent. Casino also had great staff and met all my requests. Service pool side was slow and sparse.

Cons: My only complaint and a small one at that, was service at the pool was hit or miss. Some days we didn’t see anyone. Admittedly we gravitated to the quieter end of the pool complex, it appeared service was better the closer you got to the outdoor b

Pros: The staff was excellent - they tried to make our stay very pleasant and were very accommodating.

Cons: They room was not ready when we arrived. We had a plumbing issue and got stuck in the elevator. However, staff made adjustments to rectify which was very much appreciated. The casino did not meet our expectations.

Pros: Many things within walking distance, resorts pools and beach access was great.

Pros: Beautiful location and all staff from the front desk, concierge, housekeeping, security and restaurant staff really are the heart of the Hilton resort. It was they who make the experience wonderful.

Pros: We had the buffet breakfast included in our reservation and it was worth it. It has all your normal breakfast selections. Staff friendly and helpful. The beach was clean and well maintained. Beautiful blue water & beachfront access with the exception of the whole "cabana renting" policy (see what I didn't like below). I just wish it was included in our reservation price so I didn't have to worry about it. Location is superb too. You walk out of the hotel and you have over 10 restaurant options. We usually had snacks by the beach and went out for dinner. Safe to walk around, the area is full of tourists.

Cons: The fact that you have to reserve your "cabanas"/Palapas, beach chairs. And by reserve I mean, either pay $40+ for 2nd row or go stand in line for about 35 minutes at 4:00 PM each day for the next day for a chance to get a free one, 3rd or 4th row in the back. I wish the whole policy was more clear and explained during check in or even during reservation. Having to track a staff to find out how we can just get a normal seat at the beach was a hassle and annoying, not to mention got expensive, especially we love to sit at the beach and not pool area. I just wish they were more direct and clear about the policy. Also to clarify, this applies to all beach chairs/umbrellas. They consider them cabanas. My first night, the hotel was overbooked so they transferred me to Hyatt, 2 hotels down, it was a bit of a hassle but at least I got the night comped for all the hassle of moving around.

Pros: Location on the palm beach strip is very convenient to many fine restaurants and stores

Cons: It’s very popular so it gets busy sometimes

Pros: Location and Staff. Well appointed rooms Casino

Cons: Prices for Breakfast are high but there are several very close alternatives including on the beach. Recently raised the prices for beach palapas by over 60% so the range is $49-$67 per day - though you can still get a free one on the back of the beach ( limited number -first come first served basis) “ I’m a Diamond member - and they moved to the resort credit instead of breakfast but the $12.50 per day is not sufficient.

Pros: Beach!

Cons: No

Pros: The pool it's very clean. The security staff are very gentle.

Cons: The rooms needs and upgrade. The restaurants are ridiculously expensive. The girls in the towel place aren't friendly. The palapas and umbrella in the beach are too expensive

Pros: My pillows. Beach, Sun.

Cons: Construction. But it wasnt to bad.

Pros: Hotel location was good, the asthetic was beautiful but the service was disappointing. We had been there many times but they have implemented too many rules for a vacation. Also expect 20% added charges to all bills

Pros: The staff was exceptionally friendly

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: The grounds, pools and beach are beautiful. Staff was friendly and always helpful.

Pros: location, beach

Cons: Confused with all the service charges and hotel cost. I thought I paid already and charged for room every night.

Pros: The location is amazing. The hotel is right on the beach.

Cons: The service could be better. We had a very rude waitress at lunch one day however most of their employees were nice.I did not like that you had to pay for palapas and pool chairs.

Cons: Too much construction

Pros: I've been to the Marriott I've been to the Ritz have been to the Hilton I've been to the Renaissance and the Hyatt just has the nicest most tropical feel with the most beautiful pool area of all the resorts. Maybe the casino is not as big but who ca

Cons: Beach drink service is slow or not at all availabile

Pros: Loved the easy access to the beach, pools, very friendly staff, and it was definitely worth the extra price for access to the regency club, as food is horrendously expensive here!

Cons: Someone noisy outside of our room at night with music, people, etc. Also, the spa was under construction, but they did give a discount for their services.

Pros: The location, friendliness and knowledge of the staff was excellent! Really appreciated the water in the lobby area.

Cons: Shower was not as clean as it should have been when we arrived; however, staff was very attentive to our needs. For instance, we used a towel on the floor of the shower and the next day they put a mat in the shower without us asking. For that we are thankful!

Pros: The hotel is beautiful, location is excelent! Will be coming back for sure

Cons: Breakfast could be better, theres a nice buffet but for 25usd it could be way better.

Pros: Not much to be honest. It’s a lousy property.

Cons: Rooms are small, old, dirty. Facilities are overall old and decrepit. Staff is somewhat friendly, but nothing special.

Pros: This hotel is in a great location, very walkable to shops and restaurants. I particularly enjoyed the pool area - lots of greenery, great pools, and I am not embarrassed to say I enjoyed the water slide :) Room was spacious and clean. Great option!

Pros: Location was great! Staff was fantastic!

Cons: Bed was small and room was slightly outdated.

Pros: Location was good

Cons: Rooms were moldy and needed updating Had to change rooms as the mold was giving us soar throats. The hotel is a health hazard with the mold

Cons: Two things displeased us a lot , 1 -was not replaced soap daily, we had to beg Évery das for That , until we went to the supermarket and bought a item só cheap, 2- On the last day we had to leave the room until 12 o clock, which os normal o Mall resorts , BUT We felt pracyically being expelled , the reception Staff Would call every 15 min from 10:00 am to leave the room , Whith the Excuse of fixing the air, which was working normal , This it was annoying and unnecessary . Só we Will never return to this hotel

Pros: Location of our room to beach and pools was outstanding

Cons: I had wanted 2 beds rather than a pullout couch. I thought that was what I had paid for but was told no 2 bed rooms were available

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: No

Pros: The beef tenderloin kabobs were fantastic at Pure Beach. The room was clean and spacious.

Cons: The property needs more restaurants, the property needs to have available an all-inclusive option and the drinks were priced higher than other places on the island

Pros: Location, clean well maintained

Pros: Beach location and view from room.

Cons: Bathroom is very small and super dated. Whole bathroom was patched up with lot of different and badly applied caulking. Daily cleaning never restocked towels back in the racks Had to call 3 times in an hour for extra towels.,

Pros: This property is on the ocean with great view except they had construction the entire trip so pool and swim up bar and dining and live entertainment were all closed off and I got a notice not to sit on my balcony due to roof construction. Deserve refund as I have referred many to visit and lucky for me my friends did not stay here but used vrbo. Never recommending again as no warning given.

Cons: Warning so I could have gone to Hilton. Construction ruined beauty of sand, sound of ocean drowned with machinery noise. No pool, no food, no swim up bar and fave musicians were canceled. Nice staff not there due to construction for a Bigger SALES office!!!!

Pros: The breakfast was fine. I didn't know that I would have to leave my room to get it, but it was okay, it was something different for me and an opportunity to eat breakfast while enjoying the serenity of the ocean and the beach.

Cons: To begin with, the room in the link for this hotel wasn't the room that I was initially given. The money wasn't an issue, I thought I paid for one room type and ended up with something different. We eventually worked it out with the kind supervisor who shared with me what the problem was. My advice is to call the hotel in advance to make sure you are getting the room that you saw in the advertisement. My only issue was that the washer/dryer combination turned out to be a fluke. Once the washer was done cleaning, it was supposed to automatically dry your clothes. Well...it was 2:00AM in the morning and none of my clothes were dry, when I called the front desk, I was told to go over to the next building, and take 8 quarters with me to dry my clothes at 2:00AM in the morning. Needless to say, that was not the best option for me at that hour of the morning. Since we were leaving that day, we decided to place the clothes on the balcony since it was so hot anyway, in hopes they would dry by the time we awakened to prepare for check-out. They didn't dry completely, so I had to place the damp clothes in a plastic bag and bring them back home. At least they were clean. Other than that, the staff were really nice and very accommodating.

Pros: Nice location with a nice beach area.

Cons: The bathroom was very small and the shower had little pressure.

Cons: The security. Two rings was missing. These items was inside a box at my room. I leave the room in the morning to enjoy the place, when we arrived on the afternoon theses rings was not there anymore. The security say: just the housekeeper was there, then she said she does what she have to do. But there is none security camera. This resort has the poor security I ever seen.

Pros: The staff is amazing, the room is well kept. Just a wonderful place to stay. Family friendly. Will go again.

Cons: Nothing to say, it was overall wonderful.

Pros: The location, the food, the services, and the friendly staff

Pros: The location and hotel itself are beautiful- fantastic island. Most of the staff are excellent.

Cons: The food could be better... over the years, it has taken its toll on quality. The focus is more on mass-producing for people versus quality. A couple of the restaurants are fantastic- but they're actually not the ones that people would expect.

Pros: Location on beach

Cons: Bad customer Service, extra charges, loud noise, room location was disturbing, not relaxing

Pros: Ocean view and location

Cons: The fact that the room smells, the ceiling was falling, the paint pealing

Pros: The view

Cons: Yes, they have no smoking signs up in the hotel floors and had smoke smell

Pros: The beach front location was amazing.

Cons: The air conditioning worked but there is A terrible humidity problem that makes the room feel damp. The dampness is evident in the bedding and you clothing.

Pros: The beach was very beautiful.

Cons: The hotel had extremely loud music all the time, making it very hard to relax. Every night there was a show of below average quality and the music could be heard from the room. The pool was super cold and the food at the asian restaurant was terrible.

Pros: The hotel staff was the best thing about this hotel. Every person we encountered was friendly and willing to help make our stay comfortable. From the housekeeping staff to the front desk concierges to the casino dealers - Riu Palace staff was top notch.

Cons: The food was below average and the spa was overpriced for the experience they offered. Also found it inconvenient that the fridge turned off with the rest of the power if you took your room key out of the slot.

Pros: Location,pool,staff,beach,room, Alcohol dispensers in room. Housekeeping did a great job cleaning the room. Tons of different options for meals, good quality too- lots of meat options unlike other hotels that focus on pastas and such.

Cons: Slow internet, sometimes difficult getting a chair at the beach or pool, pool drinks are weak but I understand why. Room service (food) very slow, the 3 times we ordered took about an hour. Also, not a lot of options.

Pros: Beach

Cons: Casino

Pros: View and location

Cons: No

Pros: We loved everything about Riu!!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The staff was fantastic. They made sure our stay was memorable and enjoyable throughout. We had an amazing honeymoon at the Riu Antillas!

Cons: The rooms were a bit outdated. Could definitely use an update.

Pros: Staff is always friendly, food is excellent for an all inclusive, and always has Activities/Shows/Entertainment.

Cons: Needs to be updated. Toilet issues, chipping paint, cracked ceiling, and broken mirror.

Pros: The hotel was extremely clean. The staff went above and beyond to keep us happy and well hydrated!!! We stayed at the holiday in resort two years ago and it too was very nice. The reason we like Antillas better was the stocked fridge in each room.

Cons: Loved the hotel and staff!

Pros: The food and service were fantastic. The room and amenities could have been better, but was bearable.

Cons: If they renovated the rooms and upgraded the furniture, the hotel would be perfect

Pros: Location

Cons: Amenities weren’t clearly defined in literature provided. As a first time all inclusive resort traveler, I felt things could have been explained better.

Pros: Relaxing vacation at a terrific resort with an amazing beach & ocean. Check in quick & painless. Front Desk Manager made sure our stay was memorable. maid kept our room spotless (who by the way had a great voice) great hotel staff.

Pros: Great common areas rooms were below expectatios

Cons: Room needs upgrades

Pros: Absolutely nothing. Horrible trip.

Cons: Everything. Our room was wrong. The staff was so rude. Never will be staying here again.

Pros: The location is very good. This area is very safe And walk able

Cons: The food was not the greatest.

Pros: The room was very clean and the staff was attentive.When we first arrived our safe was not working correctly.The maintenance staff had to come and fix it 3 times before it was working correctly.Room was a bit outdated.Otherwise it was perfect.

Cons: The Steakhouse was terrible. Quality of food sucked!!! Go Italian.

Pros: Customer service! The staff was as nice as could be. Always trying to cater to every need. Food was excellent! One night they had coconut ice cream and my wife loved it, they did not have it out again but we asked a waitress and she went and found it!

Cons: You had to get up early to get a beach chair under the canopy.

Pros: The staff was amazing

Cons: The cleaning

Pros: The property was beautiful. The Japanese restaurant is HIGHLY recommended. Very good food.

Cons: One of the pools were very dirty by the Buffett restaurant so lost my appetite. The Buffett restaurant has so many flies that I couldn’t even enjoy my food. We stayed their for 4 days and on the 3rd day maids finally cleaned our room. We had to make reservations for dining, so the seafood restaurant was AWFUL. I asked for the Arubian dish and when it came it was over fried calamari, over fried shrimp and fries. The dish was suppose to have plaintains and not fries. The dish was not good at all. For the $1,300 we paid this hotel was NOT worth the price.

Pros: The beach was very clean, the staff around the bar and restaurants was friendly.

Cons: The front desk receptionist were unfriendly and seemed unhappy, lack of variety of food in the buffet, lack of beds by the pool, lack of entertainment by the pool, no free WiFi around the hotel.

Pros: The location.

Cons: Everything else. Complete and total inconsistency in every aspect of how this place is run. No one can answer even the simplest question, the restaurant reservation policy is ridiculous and once you get in the food is terrible. Stay elsewhere.

Pros: Martin Was amazing. He is the glued to this hotel. He did not just hide behind a desk anytime there was trouble with myself or any guest in the hotel he was right in the middle of it making sure that everything was OK. He is swift action and his ability to be accommodating meant a lot to us. Location: Great location. Just steps from the beach. Not overly crowded beach. Dinner one The beach: Dinner on the beach was amazing. Jimmy Johnny and the rest of the staff to handle us during our dinner on the beach experience was amazing and accommodating. The view was breathtaking Pool: pool was nicely shaded yet had some sun compared to other resorts who were exposed with sun and no shade at all. A little tropical feel

Cons: Room: The rooms were dark and dingy and boutique style. The first room reeked of mildew. And the shower flooded out before we even had a chance to use it. Room View was disgusting. The second room we had was better. Cleaner but still dark. Had to keep calling and begging for housekeeping service everyday. As they kept forgetting to clean our room. Mini bar was never filled our whole stay including when we first got the room (empty and picked over from previous guest). No one filled despite asking several times. Hot tub on balcony kept shocking us when we tried to get in. Could barely use. Property: property is more for older guest or people traveling with larger families. Quiet/no nightlife. Food: buffets were gross and repetitive. Found guest hair in buffet several times. Guest grabbing food with bare hands. Try to make dinner reservations instead (but not at Beach club it’s basically a buffet they serve to you). Mexican was good Italian was good dinner on the beach was good. Non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks were good. Pool: had to wake up at 6am everyday to get a good spot at the beach or pool as guest put towels down to keep a spot despite not arriving until late afternoon to the beach. Property entertainment was poor compared to other places I’ve traveled Check in was strenuous. Reservations at the hotel was not accommodating. Until Martin stepped in.

Pros: Friendly staff

Pros: Staff and facilities are great. I will be back!

Pros: A/c was cold Breakfast was best meal Of the day and the inside bar had wonderful drinks

Pros: Staff. Water on beach. Pool. Food.

Cons: Tv remote did not work. Safe did not work. Keys did not always work. Check in was difficult. Need more night life activity. Getting chairs on beach or by pool was a full time job. Getting up at 5am to secure a place for our very big group. Not good. More towels available. Better system for towels and floats. More restaurants.

Pros: Everything!!

Cons: No

Pros: The location of this hotel is tremendous. It is on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and has every amenity to help guests take advantage of this. The room exceeded my expectations, with high-end finishes: soft bedding, marble tile, etc.

Cons: The food was excellent at the Italian and Japanese restaurant option which included Hibachi. The buffet food was also very good. However, the Aruban Seafood restaurant was poor, which is a shame because off the resort actual Aruban seafood was tremendous!

Pros: The staff was wonderful..

Cons: Our flight got cancelled due to a hurricane so we had to book an extra night at the hotel and we were charged $--- per person which was a bit pricey.

Pros: Hotel very clean. Very impressed with staff. Budget friendly.

Pros: We received an upgrade

Cons: Check in was lengthy

Pros: The location, pool, beach, food and bar.

Cons: Casino is too small.

Pros: I would like for the staff to be more informative. At Checkin, I was told that I would get my IHG points. Then later, after check out I was informed that I would not get them.

Pros: Everything is very open from the minute you walk "into" (It's all open/outside) the lobby. You can see palm trees and the ocean. Every night they have a different dinner buffet special that is offered but you can also eat at all the other restaurants as well so it was a bonus option giving you more variety. The beach was clean and we never had a problem with getting a spot or chairs.

Cons: The rooms were a little outdated but you could tell they were trying hard to keep the structure look updated. There wasn't much not to like!

Pros: easy checking and check out. AWESOMELY SURPRISED AT THE UPGRADE!!!!! The room was a direct walkout to the beach. We LOVED IT!!! The bed, pillows and coverings were VERY COMFORTABLE!!! Excellent air conditioning. The hotel is in a great location to access all other amenities. Shopping was good, gambling was good, food was good. Staff very supportive and informative. The pools looked good, but we were in the ocean the whole time. We will be repeat customers. Thank You Holiday Inn Aruba.

Cons: We wish we could have stayed longer in the room we had.

Pros: Location

Cons: No

Pros: The location is good, the beach is as beautiful as depicted in the pictures. The breakfast has a wide variety of good food. The resort is well equipped in general. One can book guided tours and activities directly from the hotel.

Cons: The room was old and the bathroom was really tiny. The staff, with some exceptions, is generally rude (it happened on some occasions that they wouldn't even return your greetings). No one wants to accept the local currency (the florin), we often got asked quite aggressively to pay in dollars. Although a Dutch island, Aruba seems to be tailored for the American tourists, and that's quite annoying for the European ones. The sun beds are for free but the umbrellas are crazy expensive, there is a heavy fee per day and you have to book it the day before at 12:00. The beach is quite packed and you won't have any privacy; relaxing might be hard given the loudness of the average tourist...

Pros: Location..pools..

Pros: Excellent location. Everything is right there.

Cons: Too few cabanas and falapas.

Pros: flexible when changing the booking dates, free beach towel service, nice location

Cons: The restaurant where the breakfast took place was freezing from the AC, the food got cold within seconds, we ate fast just to get out of there. The checkin was terrible, they didn't inform us about anything, forgot to give us the hotel bracelets and later on a security guard told us we should have them, only one good outdoor restaurant, other two were indoor and cold! You have to pay 30usd for the beach umbrellas, we didn't know until the checkout when they charged us. They should improve the customer service I felt like in a McDonalds!

Cons: Everything was bad, and price for that shouldn’t be more than 200 usd, but I paid 1100 usd !!!

Pros: The staff was very friendly.

Cons: The cleanliness of the hotel overall was mediocre.

Pros: The hotel was walking distance from the beach but was behind a road and and entire hotel complex from the beach. The hotel only has free wifi near the restaurant. People seemed to gather outside the restaurant for free wifi. The house keeping was also extremely inconsistent. The number and type of towels varied from day-to-day. We also didn't have toiletries or glasses in the room until day three. The room also had to remain fairly air conditioned to prevent substantial condensation which wouldn't have been an issue except the blankets on the bed were not sufficient in that condition. Finally, the hotel had no record of the reservation I had made through kayak and even when presented with confirmation information were reluctant to help resolve the issue. Ultimately ended up having to leverag kayak to resolve but ended up in a king bed when we had originally booked doubles.

Pros: The staff was friendly.

Cons: Air conditioner leaked on the tile floor that made everything slick. Called for maintenance the first day, he said it was fixed, but it still leaked. He used our pool towel to soak up the water. Tried to get it replaced the next day at the front desk, they had to make several calls to confirm our story.

Pros: Walkable to everything (even though we still had a car and drive lots). Easy to walk to to breakfast/dinner everyday. We didn't reserve a renovated King room but were given it at no cost. I didn't have much staff interaction but was impressed with them when I did. I also liked to see how thoroughly the pool was cleaned daily. It's an older resort but I feel like they've spent money updating the important things. Incredible value for what we paid. Very, very cold AC in the room.

Cons: Unfortunately there was an international youth baseball tournament in Aruba the same week we were there. Just about every rowdy kid was staying at the Mill. I don't fault the Mill. They apologized for the Inconvience and did what they could to seperate us from them.

Pros: Best staff, friendly and genuinely thoughtful. Breakfast was ok, location good especially if you have a rented car. Great shower.

Cons: Bed was not the most confortable.

Pros: I like the the room was very large, like a one bedroom apartment, very comfortable for a family of four.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Notheing

Pros: Location n affordability
