Leeward Antilles hotel rooms a the Independent

"American Airlines cancelled my flight to Aruba so I wasn’t able to check in to this expensive hotel. I’ve repeatedly asked for reimbursement/ refund! This is not acceptable! "

"Paradise !!"

"Yes"

"Staff were proactive in helping us when we had a need. At least three instances of exceptional service come to mind. The breakfast was as diverse as could be for a Western palate. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Snacks and drinks the night before were both creative and tasty, especially the tuna tataki on tostones. Also impressed by the signature cocktail I tried. "

"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 "

"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."

"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. "
