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.

Pros: food at the restaurant was very good. location was good, walking distance from restaurants- casino was nice !
Cons: I didn't like that the adult pool closed at 7pm, and after that you're basically kicked out. you can't play music at the adult pool either - it's basically a senior pool.

Pros: The facilities were incredible, the room was so comfortable and the view was amazing! The food was great, the staff were great! Everything was absolutely wonderful.
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.

Pros: All the food we are on the premises was delicious. The Sundy BRUNCH was superb. We ate one dinner at the hotel nd 5throuhouythe island. One was better than the next in food quality and ambiance. Firs time in Aruba but not my last Fell in love with it all!
Cons: We could have had our booked room ready on the first day of our vacation and did not have to move on our second day. For our inconvience the hotel upgraded our room but we felt it was still a lost day.
