Pros: stunning 5 star hotel. great staff, lovely rooms, amazing amazing gym, pools, bars, restaurants, all fantastic. right on the beach.
Cons: the hotel should note that construction work is ongoing and we had to move rooms with the noise. The staff helped alot but this work should really be referenced on the website prior to booking.

Pros:
Cons: AC doesn't go below 66* we like to sleep cool. The sheets smelled like urine, and felt like sandpaper. patio light didn't work, not enough towels and rug was stained.
We were moved two days before we left, which was great, but was inconvenient.

Pros: Room and breakfast area.
Cons: The waiters at then beach were completely incompetent. Took 1 hour 20 minute one day to bring food. The waitress did not charge me for the food. Next day I had the same issue and my wife had to buy in the store herself. Then the waiter brought after. This area needs attention.

Pros: The quality of everything was top notch. Food was terrific, entertainment was spectacular, staff was ultra friendly.
Cons: The Casino was smoky. The smoke permeated the halls outside the casino. The rental for the huts was a bit high. Should offer a weekly rate at a discount.
Cons: I was surprised to see extra charges to my booking, island charges and hotel occupancy charges almost 100 usd per night! not expected and neither indicated when doing my booking.

Pros: Amazing hotel overall. Stayed at the tradewinds for our honeymoon. Definitely worth it! Great views from balcony. Room safe was free to use. Staff were nice. Food was good. Hotel is not too crowded but not quiet. We walked through the Ritz and Hyatt as we were debating to stay there. I can assure you, we made the right choice by staying at the Marriot. Quick cab to town but quite a long walk.
Cons: Slightly too cold in the foyer areas.
No Bathrobes or slippers which are expected, especially at the tradewinds floor.
Can't pay by cash in the pool bar.
Tradewing beach huts are mixed in with a few regular huts.
There were no baked beans for breakfast.

Pros:
Cons: we will never use booking.com again and will tell our friends not to use it. You lead us to believe that our room was $269.00 a night, that was for 2 nights then it went up to $299.00 a night. Also your "limited view" was of a parking lot and dumpster. Never again.

Pros: The beach, wich is actually not the best in Aruba and the location.
Cons: When we arrived at the hotel room there was mens underwear in the bathroom. The carpet floor was dirty.They charge you 7 usd for the wifi.If you want to get un umbrella at the beach you even have to queue for an hour or you have pay usd 30 per day. For something they said it was included.They lost my pijama and they also stole some posters that we bought in Colombia.Worst experience i ever had in a hotel.

Pros: New, clean, friendly service, large comfortable rooms, nice pool area, right on the beach, Nice air conditioned lobby, easy access to taxis at the entrance. Excellent breakfast buffett.
Cons: Checkin- 4pm? way too late. Upon check-in we were told the following: We see that you requested a king bed, BUT you didn´t guarantee it! How in the fck would I know that I needed to "guarantee" it? Was given a room with 2 beds and none of this was even mentioned until I went back down to complain. We can try to move you to a king room tomorrow (which they did but a pain in the ass to repack and move). Also, another game being played by all hotels in Aruba- "We need to charge a deposit of XX to your credit card as a deposit" which will be returned in a COUPLE OF WEEKS. What?? Next- the lady that checked us in told us the breakfast was NOT included. What? for $300 a night? Later I came back and another lady told me it WAS included. Ended up included, BTW it´s $25us pp if it´s not. Way too expensive. And in the room- no water, and another empty mini-bar. And then look for the wifi password- that will be $8us per day. Are you kidding me?? Also be prepared for your final bill to be double- Aruba is full of taxes and taxes and taxes. American tourists need to STOP allowing places like this hotel and Aruba in general to run the prices up into the sky. Beautiful resort bur prices like everywhere and everything in Aruba have been run up to ridiculous levels.

Pros: Great facility. Room above mine was undergoing construction. After 3 complaints by me the hotel manager moved us to oceanfront rooms.
Cons: Access to beach seating was run by an outside party but billed through the hotel? You need to plan ahead to get an umbrella of Palm on the sand.
The pool was nice, but again getting seating required rising at 7 am and reserving your chairs. There is not enough deck space to accommodate the hotel occupancy.

Cons: The communication from the beginning could have been a bit clearer. Breakfast was included in our package but we were not told where to get the included breakfast. There was also some confusion about using the room key in the elevator to get up to our floor and a fellow guest had to show us how it worked.

Pros: Hotel all good
The male reception guy, was to slick, promised the world delivered very little, remembered nothing, the female reception however very good.
Cons: the time wasted and necessary to reserve a umbrella on the beach, was crazy , the system is crazy, in 1 week we managed to get beach side sun beds and umbrella only once, gave up trying to reserve somethiing at pool side. For the money we speant there in excess of $4000.00 for 6 nights,would expect a better service in this matter.Idea is to go there and relax, not have to run around all morning and afternoon, trying to reserve chairs.
