Best Resorts in Dutch Antilles

Loved it!

Great hotel, new rooms and large pool. Each room has its own balcony and kitchen.

As soon as we arrived at Blowing Point ferry terminal a cab driver was waiting to take us to Zemi Beach. We were checked in then taken to our room by cart. the room was very large with gorgeous views of the Shoal Bay. The bathroom was as large as some hotel rooms. Every staff member from the property manager to the bartenders the restaurant staff to the pool and beach staff to the housekeeping staff were extremely friendly and anxious to make sure we were well cared for. The grounds were very...

I did not like the beach chair policy. Paying for daily use of a beach chair was unacceptable considering the price we paid for our stay.

This was an amazing property. Rooms right on the beach, clearest blue water. The staff was attentive and kind. They brought you fresh towels and water, with a cooler behind beach/ pool chairs to keep it cold. They gave us recommendations to explore the island and helped with reservations. I’ve never been more relaxed after a vacation here. 100/10, cannot wait to be back!

A excellent stay. Peaceful, staff friendly and helpful

Superb

The beach was great and it was easy to relax and enjoy the whole resort. The staff in the restaurants and bar were friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed the Christmas Mass. I would not hesitate to return on my next trip to Aruba.

Overall, the property is beautiful. It's centrally located to many great restaurants and not a far walk to the Punda area. NOTE TO AMERICANS: The one thing we found very frustrating was that we didn't bring an electrical plug converter based on a quick google search and the hotel rooms only had the "Schuko" plugs and not enough converters. BRING YOUR CONVERTERS!

I had an amazing stay at the Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao Resort; they made my first solo trip and birthday unforgettable.

This was our second time visiting JOIA and it was an excellent stay like the first time, which is why we returned. We had a minor inconvenience on our third day but one of the managers Mariana went above and beyond to rectify the situation. We were truly appreciative and thankful for the level of service she provided.

The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba is, overall, an excellent hotel. It is aesthetically pleasing, on a lovely stretch of beach, and with many fine qualities. Service, especially Front Desk and Concierge, is outstanding. Housekeeping is to be commended on how clean they keep everything, which is not easy as a beach property. Especially appreciated that they really cleaned and replenished towels and water at turn-down so you could have everything fresh after showering from a day at the beach but in time for...

excellent service and clean

We rented a two bedroom unit (really two one bedroom units connected by a short hallway) with our 21 year-old triplets. It was a perfect setup for us. My wife and I took one unit, and our kids took the other. The resort is in a very convenient location- also very well-maintained. There are a number of restaurants and bars within walking distance, which our kids really liked because they could go out without waiting for us to drive them somewhere. There is a small grocery store about 100...

This property was beautiful. Had a great time. Just be aware that there is a free shuttle into town that is not ran by the resort but by a jewelry store. When they get you into town they take you directly to the store. Try and sell you things. Before you can leave for your shopping in town.

Enjoyed the 5night-4day stay at the Hotel. Very clean and well maintained. Can see attention to detail all over the hotel. In the design of the rooms, facilities, service etc. Breakfast included had a large number of options, some of which changed daily. The large seating area ensures, you are never out of a table to enjoy the breakfast. Made to order omlettes were really good. Even though the Hotel is not directly attached to the beach. You can cross the not-busy-at-all road to reach the...

The Plaza Resort is great! The rooms are huge and clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the dive shop onsite is excellent! I dive, but my wife doesn't and this resort has everything we need. She can lay on the beach, swim in the pool, snorkel off the beach, or hang out at the Coconut Crush beach bar while I go dive...and I can join her when I'm above water! The all inclusive option is a great way to go as well. The food at the restaurant is excellent and many options so everyone gets...

Horrible parking

My husband and I loved everything about the place. The beach was beautiful and the snorkeling was great. We ate dinner at the restaurant the first night and it very good. I ate breakfast out on the patio overlooking the ocean. It was so beautiful and the food was some of the best food I had on the entire trip. The lady serving me was super nice and gave me great service. Both of these places are the only places on the entire island where the servers came back and asked how the food was and did...
