Hotels with Shopping in Aruba

This review is comparing AI properties with other AI properties...that said i was super clean and updated. All staff was working constantly. No one was standing around. The food was on par with other AI properties, what id expect or better in some ways. Lilliana and Luis at the breakfast buffet best of the best. One suggestion would be to have more variety of well drinks at the restaurants. My kids needed to stop at the main bar in the lobby for fruit punch or juice, bc only water or OJ available besides soda. Loungers at pool need to be gotten by 900,after that its hard, palapa by 730...or none left. Ice cream at the café was amazing! So was the mac and cheese at the American lunch place. There needs to be a coffee menu posted for the Cafe though. Housekeeping and maintenance came in minutes for our needs and requests. Bravo to that! Overall very nice all inclusive.

Loved being right on the water. Enjoyed the pool, the bars, several of the restaurants. Staff was very nice and friendly. Room was good but could tell well- used in a few places (some damaged tiles in room and bathroom). Could definitely use more staff. Checking in there was a large group in front of us asking for room changes and only one staff member so waited 15 minutes. Also the second morning we called for fresh pool/beach towels multiple times and never received them. We had also asked for more water which never came. One night there was a big rainstorm with flash flooding in many areas including one of the restaurants. They did not have staff to take care of the 1" deep puddle at the entrance until the next day. Cafe Margot and Ginger were very good. We loved the barista with lattes, espresso, frappes, pastries and more. However overall the drinks were all much too sweet, never found one I liked and the food was ok. Was a nice place to relax and never had to leave the resort. Divy Beach was a bit rocky compared to Eagle Beach but water was perfect.

Very helpful, kind & courteous staff throughout the resort. That is why we keep returning to Hploday Inn Aruba
