Beautiful property. Absolutely incredible. The staff come to the beach, and especially the all-inclusive. Make sure you understand which property you’re choosing (Divi Aruba, Divi Tamarind, Dutch Village, Divi Villas) and what you’re all inclusive, includes! We stayed at the Divi Villas. We were facing the beautiful golf course. It’s very quiet and very safe, and the infinity pool is absolutely beautiful. I think the food was absolute quality everywhere you go. It’s à la cart for the most part, We were used to giant buffets before. So not having all that variety and having to order, was a bit different. Mulligans was the best place for breakfast. Margie and Iona were super welcoming and brought great service. I think I had the waffles and Bloody Marys in a while. Seabreeze by the lobby included a regular buffet. It would have everything you need for a quick breakfast. They also have an area by the pool where they serve your meal, and have a full bar. The pool is very calm throughout the day. I loved hanging out there for a few hours. It was never overly full. Most people hung out at the Infiniti pool by the golf course. The good part is that you can take a few steps over to the street at beach bar and stare at that beautiful beach. I loved the tiki bar. Great menu, they live grill all chicken and beef. It smells good and it tasted amazing. A few steps across is the Dutch Village Beach. Go there for the sunset at 6:20. The top is in the window restaurants were amazing!
