The property is in a great location but if you are staying at this resort you must make sure you are not in the Sea Tower. There is a night club next to that tower and the bass/music shakes the entire building until 2am. They moved us but we had to check out at noon and didn’t have a room until almost 4pm.
The property is VERY dated but the location is exceptional. However, there are much nicer places to stay near by. We had to change rooms after the first night because the noise in the Sea Tower was insane. Our whole room was shaking until 2:00am. The pool area is nice but the chairs are all falling apart and dirty. Again. Stay somewhere else.
Really liked everything from the location to the shopping, dining, etc.. The facility itself was awesome! Everything was clean and the staff was fabulous! Defimitely coming back in the near future.

Hotel is perfectly located around numerous great restaurants! Pool is kept decent. Hotel and rooms like many others have shared are very dated.
No bar servers coming to your pool or beach chairs to serve you. All in all even though the hotel rooms and hallways are dated. We would consider coming back. Aruba was a bucket list destination and it did NOT disappoint.

The property is very outdated but I guess you get what you pay for but the beach chairs were all not only dirty but ripped and damaged. I also don’t mind paying for an umbrella but $50 for a small umbrella was a bit much. The staff was nice but they really need to update and get some new beach chairs and bigger beach towels. Again staff was great has nothing to do with them but I would not stay again.

Half of the beach chairs were broken, the bathroom was completely disgusting and it was no bigger than a shoe box. The toilet was a foot off the ground and the shower was very dirty. The room itself, well the walls are very thin.

Stay away from the Sea Tower club next door plays loud music until 2 am every night If you don’t get up very early you will probably get a broken lounge chair. Third pool should be adults only to avoid being constantly splashed or hit with footballs. Would never stay there again.

Really enjoyed the area where this resort is located and the resort itself. The only issue we had was the cigar smokers outside that made it unbearable to sit outside some nights and enjoy everything.

Honestly I was concerned when I booked this hotel because I kept reading reviews that it was "basic" or not fully updated rooms. So if you keep checking the reviews and have concerns please do not. The hotel is very nice, everything is VERY clean. All of the staff are extremely friendly. The beds are SO comfortable. I genuinely had one of the best vacations in Aruba and staying at this hotel. Everything is in walking distance if you choose not to do the all inclusive like I did. The location is simply perfect. We will definitely be back.
