Leeward Antilles hotel rooms a the Independent

"What a great place to stay specifically having access to the beach and the stores all at once. The best part was the cute cafe and the laundry area, really helped make my stay easier. I would recommend and I will be booking again when I return to Aruba"

"Everything was perfect "

"Really loved the pod concept. Having access to dreams and Zoetry was a nice bonus. Adult infinity pool was really nice. Staff were overall friendly but slow (which is fine, I get it). Food at Zoetry and the adults only part of dreams very good. Breakfast buffet at dreams was decent. I get why people complain about the food but when you’re in a foreign country and eating at an all inclusive it kind of is what it is. Top shelf liquor at adult pool was a nice bonus and the bartenders made really good drinks, they made anything I asked for and it was all really good! I liked that you could walk off the resort and still feel safe. The nearby beach and restaurants were a nice change up. Definitely rent a car and explore all the island has to offer. Beautiful country with friendly people. I don’t like to return to locations because the world is vast and time is limited but I would return here. My only criticism is the butler service (which was heavily advertised) was a little lacking. They were great at making reservations to restaurants but when we asked for drinks or room service they always seemed to be out of everything or it never came. We aren’t huge “butler” people so it wasn’t a big deal but just something to be aware of."

"Great place to stay "

"Food at the buffet was terrible. Not much variety."

"My experience was not so good. I reserved two rooms, for two persons each, and in the especials requirements I asked for 2 single beds in each room. I reinforced this requirement when the Welcome Team of the hotel send me a message some weeks before of my arrival. But no one told me that this requirement is not possible for the hotel. When I arrived, and I reminded the requirements to concierge, I realised that the rooms didn't were prepared. The solution was to assign two rooms for 4 persons, but only the room for kids that has two beds, but small, without window, poor lightning, and without a safety box. The staff didn't do so much to solve this problem in another way. The deception was so big, because we planned this trip some years ago to go all the family. I will not recommend Radisson."

"Clean resort! Amazing plus that the boat takes you to flamingo island for free. We spent almost every day there even if it was only for an hour.. just because we could!! Definitely recommend to explore other beaches as well. Casino there is super small but great! Live dealers. Shopping is amazing here as well. Would skip the restaurant that is in the lobby. Our friends tried it twice (gave it another chance) and they did not like it at all. Steakhouse on site is very well known but we didn’t try it, it also looked dead most nights we were there. Would recommend trying local restaurants walking distance from resorts. Bars and pool area on resort are amazing! Staff is great, 10/10 stars and would stay here again/recommend. Also a bunch of stores/restaurants walking distance. Night life is an 11 minute taxi ride."

"The room I was given was different from what was shown in the pictures, and it wasn’t very clean—you could even see strands of hair on the shower handle. The food was overly salty, and the pool didn’t appear well-maintained. However, I will say that the staff was very nice and friendly, which I appreciated. "

"Had a great spring break just my husband and I! The food at the beach/pool restaurant was amazing and ate there for multiple lunches and even dinners. The rooms were clean, beds were super comfortable, and the grounds were beautiful. Even though it was disappointing that the second pool was closed for construction, it didn’t feel overly crowded at the pool that was open. The beach is beautiful and spacious compared to other resorts where the beach chairs are on top of each other. Plenty of space to spread out! So far, this is our favorite hotel in Aruba on Palm Beach. Relaxing, spacious, calm environment. Great walking distance to local beach snacks and restaurants. "
