A property that is under construction should have either told people before they book it or not even open it. All we heard was drilling and hammering instead of the ocean and nature. As far as cleanliness, We had to change room because the first one was literally like a dirty motel. Then the other one was just ok. The blinds were dirty and the mirror was so old it was stained from within. Then we heard from other guests that they also had to change rooms because the first one they had had a dirty bathroom

Great place to stay with amazing staff, close access to the beach and an easy drive to baby beach and downtown with enterprise car rental in the lobby. Only critique would be the food - good variety but I felt they could do better with their selection in chicken dishes and catering to other ethnicities ex. Indian, Mexican, Greek etc.

The property was under construction. The facility itself was a little outdated but the staff was always pleasant. The air conditioning system was also very loud at night. The food was GREAT! The poolside entertainment could use more diversity in music but they are energetic and charming. Overall I had a great stay. Thanks for having us.

Food was delicious, employees very friendly, Resort is very clean, shows were fun. Only thing that was disappointing was there was Construction in the one building and you can hear it all day long however, the entertainment staff plays music at the pool so between that and being there you kind of turn it out after a while so that did not make me give this hotel a bad rating they are just trying to improve. Would definitely come back in a heartbeat! After construction of course LOL

The good: -The staff was very accommodating and friendly -beach area was well kept and the beach was great -very cool pool setup and nice pool. The walk up pool bar was great The bad: -we did not get the room that was advertised and how it appeared on the website. It was deceptive in what room we thought we were getting vs what we got. We paid for an ocean view and did not get one how the website portrays it (had a very obstructed view) -the initial room we got had black mold, a very musty smell, and appeared furniture had not been replaced in 30 years (we asked to switch rooms and we were able to, but felt we still did not get what we were paying for. The new room we got looked like it was recently updated and was nicer) -the cafeteria had lots of flies. I didn’t see anything being done to prevent the flies -construction was going on at the resort, so there was a constant sound of a jackhammer from about 9AM-5PM Overall, it’s hard to not have a great time in Aruba and my wife and I had a great time! But just wanted to point out some things that could be improved upon
