    A little bit noise from the outside in the early mornings and you always heard the ice machine used in the hallway. There was also renovation in one of the resraurants, which we did not know beforehand and there were thrilling at day time, which we heard in our room. Also a lot of other small maintain, like bug spraying in our room and men repairing aircon in front of our room in most of the days. We couldn’t eat breakfast in Tara wing because of the renovation, because they closed early every morning. Nobody told us that. A lot of bird poop everywhere and the birds in the breakfast area/tables in the beach restaurant.

    Really clean, big rooms, nice that you don’t need to wake up early to reserve the sunbeds. Breakfast included. Really nice beach. Cold towel and virgin shot service at the pool every day. They really made us to feel special, this was our anniversary trip.

    The three hour nightmare of getting back through Aruban Customs at airport was horrific and absolutely exhausting. No staff, no services, no seating and no information. Checkers were rude, inhospitable and provided no information. Made many of the hundreds of people waiting with us miss their flights home due to the length of the process. Completely unacceptable in modern day travel.

    The hotel and location were phenomenal! Staff were outstanding in all areas. A very relaxed and peaceful vibe throughout entire week.

    Breakfast selection is great, but not too varied (complaining on a very high level here). If you are not from the US, the constant "reminders" to tip (verbal or non-verbal) can be a bit much. It certainly was for us.

    Great room with an amazing view of the beach and the sunset. The property is beautiful and staff is very helpful.

    Nothing, everything was above expectations.

    Best beach in Aruba and one of the best in the world. Extremely friendly, multi-lingual staff always wanting to know how the trip is going and what more they can do for you, Facilities, rooms, beach assistance outstanding. Food options very good and well prepared. Location just outside the city but easily accessible. Safe. All adult but surrounded by other places...but you have your beach area...easy to reserve (for free) beach chairs/beach-side food and drink service. So you can get all the activity you want but come back to a respite away from the madding crowd.

    Staff, location, rules that provide privacy and quiet, ease and fairness of beach lounger reservation, breakfast, comfortable rooms/beds all the extra touches that I won’t divulge so they can be a surprise! NO KIDS! NO LOUD MUSIC ALLOWED, just PEACE AND QUIET

    Maybe an optional pool with a swim up bar…….maybe ….. and definitely teach the the room attendants to install the shower drain properly , it stinks something horrible if they don’t and it lets gases back up into the room .

    Very relaxing, adults only retreat . Love the atmosphere and staff. Love the amenities. Will definitely be back.

    The first night dinner at the restaurant by the pool was extremely pricy for child sized portion received. Was not anywhere near sated by the meal. It is the only complaint I have about my stay. Trying to book another trip here for next year and am not impresed by the giant increase in the per night cost which is extreme and not very affordable.

    Everything went well, peaceful and quiet, very relaxing. Would recommend this resort to anyone wanting these results. The breakfast buffet was exceptional and all the staff were very helpful and courteous, no matter what their job was.

    Not being able to get dinner reservations often enough!

    The Fitness center was very well put together! I use free weights. in my work out, a lot of hotels and resorts don't have free weights. There was all so ample room to do my stretch out in the fitness center, The fitness center staff was also very helpful and knowledgeable! The fitness center is very clean and does not smell like a gym, the air is clean! The banana's, apples are great in the morning. It would be nice to have a few oranges also. The beach is very clean. No trash anywhere! Breakfast is superb, the staff very helpful, enjoyable and personable! Dinner was very good. Though we only got two eat there two nights because they were booked. One night we ate at Mathews, another night at Water's edge, both were ok. the other four nights we ate at the bar, while at the bar I noticed seven to eight tables open all night> Not sure what that was because of people cancelling their reservations, or a shortage of staff to serve the tables properly? We also appreciate the staff al being in uniform. Clean and very professional looking! The security staff also was very professional, if you looked for them you could find them, but you never felt like you were being watched, or guarded!
