Tips From a Travel Agent
Entertainment options include a nearby district with plenty of shopping and further dining beyond the all-inclusive options and a popular casino with gaming machines.
Although the resort offers a kids club, the resort is better suited to wedding groups made up of adults looking to party, with liquor dispensers in every room and drinks offered 24/7.
The surrounding area feels like a friendly haven to explore night and day thanks to the welcoming multi-lingual locals.

“Nice and convenient location. Close to Oranjestad, shopping malls, and restaurants. Staff very attentive, good is good and plenty to choose from. You could also visit the Toy Antillas for free good is awesome there. Shows are nice but finish early st night. Sunsets are amazing. It’s always sunny in Aruba but keep in mind it’s a windy island so don’t bother getting your hair done:).” – Elena R. 7/17
