We will def come back to this hotel. We had such a good and relaxing time. All the beaches in Aruba are public which means the locals could come to the beach at this hotel as well. Not the best beach on the island by any means but still, very beautiful and quiet. The hotel is prob 5-10 minutes from downtown area with multiple places to shot and eat.

Had a shuttle to their casino. Rooms had a mildew smell but nothing some room spray couldnt solve. Would definitely stay there again.
