Great homebase to have Fun in sun
Overall this worked out well. Not huge highend but certain not cheap. Mid range which was perfect. The rooms were nothing special but had a good view of the pool and beach, were clean and the fridge was always stocked. We had 2 connect rooms which was perfect. I will note the noise from the pool could be heard during the day and the base beat from music from the casino at night. We were 4th floor so maybe higher up would be better.
Email ahead and make restaurant reservations. The buffet was A+ for breakfast. Average for lunch and dinner. Aruban seafood fell flat. We expected more than what felt like gussy-up buffet. Patio location is wonderful spot. Both Italian ( ask for a table outside when you reserve) and pan-Asian we’re very good. The teppankyakin table was a blast. But also carte service was good. Mexican was like average Americanized Mexican across the US.
The beach is nice. But do not expect much to see snorkeling. Better places to go on island. Lots of loungers but can be hard to get after 11am. Use a float mat to make them a bit more comfortable. Palm tree, canopies and shade structures make it easy to be out of direct sun if you want. A really nice breeze most of the time. And staff circulate to bring you drinks.
Pool is large enough. But after 8am no chaise are left. No real breeze. Not for swimming. Most people stand and drink.
Not a place for family with young kids. Not real kid pool/kid areas. Small playground in direct sun. This is mainly for adults.
