Beach Hotels in Oranjestad, Aruba

"This was my 2nd time staying here and I absolutely love it. Everyone is so helpful and the hotel is very clean and efficient. Quiet when needed but also has events and planned out activities even for families!"

"Best amenity is access to the private island. Breakfast was ok but nothing special. There was a lot of little things that needed fixed around the hotel and in the room. Artwork hanging off crooked in the hallway, drywall patches in the bathroom, debris on the carpet in the hallway everyday. For the price during high season $800 per night with breakfast I do not find it worth it at all. For half the price it wouldn’t be as much as a problem. Do not expect a 4-star hotel experience. The staff all around was excellent, helpful and incredibly kind and attentive. "

"Property was tranquil and serene. The garden and pool space awesome! Breakfast served on our patio was lovely "

"The location was right on the beach. It was nice you had lounge chairs and sand right outside your room. Beaches had beautiful white sand. The restaurants were right on the beach and the food was amazing. Staff was super friendly. Close to shopping areas. We will definitely be returning to the Tamarijn."

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. The beach was absolutely perfect. But the resort itself was less than expected. Rooms were average at best - the buildings have been there a while, and the repairs look amateurish. There is a coffee maker in the room. The refrigerator is not stocked with anything (ever). No drinks, water, soda. They do provide a reusable water bottle which you can fill up in the area near the pool. I did appreciate this earth friendly way of doing water. There was a nice walk up coffee window for espresso, sweets.. but it closed at noon. The swimming pool is pretty basic and small. They do not serve any alcohol until 11:00 am each day. There is no venue for nightly shows (i.e. stage and seating) but on some nights they had dancers performing poolside. I would not stay at Divi all inclusive in the future. "

"When you get there, they’ll tell you you have to pay more money to actually have an all inclusive stay. Place is a scam."

"The property itself is not on the beach. It’s across the street. The staff should be taught better on how to direct you. What seating on the beach accommodates the hotel. So here I’m gonna save you a whole lot of confusion. It’s Across The Street slightly to the right reflections beach club. Now let’s get to the seating area at the beach. Depending on cruise ships being around, they usually tell you all the seats are reserved. Hint hint give me a tip and I’ll find a seat for you. The beach itself it’s not very clean. People use it as a giant ashtray. Cruise ship people usually leave all the garbage behind. Now let’s get back to the rooms at voco! I checked in on a Friday!!!! huge mistake!!! the locals are all hanging out at the bar across the street, revving their cars and motorcycles for the majority of the night! This happened Friday, Saturday up until Sunday very late at night impossible to sleep. Another thing that was very unnerving to me although hotel is immaculately clean my room smell like there was a deceptive tank in it. I suggest you do not get rooms on the outskirts of the hotel. Better off on The inside by pool area! The smell in the room was horrendous!!! I didn’t bother to say anything because I knew it fall on deaf ears! The rest of staff was friendly pretty much. The one that was the best in instructing you and talking to you very charismatic was the little waitress Yuru she was an absolute doll, a great waitress, and just a beautiful person!!!"

"Lovely resort beautiful pools! The room was well layed out, however had the smell of moldy laundry. The food and restaurants were lovely at all times. Please avoid the concierge service. The woman with who we tried to book an excursion with at the concierge was very intent on upselling us to “her favorite” excursion, refusing to answer direct questions and instead, redirecting our attention to her preferences, taking at least 45 Minutes to show us pics on her phone, even after us saying no countless times. Finally, all we wanted was to order a cab to see the palm beach area and she gave us a hard time about that, telling us it was “closed” ( it was not) saying she alone needed to call the cab, we could not, and when I finally let her know I was getting aggravated 45 minutes later, she told me to calm down. I went ahead and booked our dolphin catamaran through the expedia app Myself, and had a WONDERFUL TIME! Our cab driver gave us his direct number and we used him countless times and he was lovely. Avoid the concierge at this resort as I believe they might be commission based, rather than guest services. Otherwise, a lovely stay at this resort, we would definitely stay again."

"Clean, quiet and friendly staff. If looking for something close to the beach and popular areas, this is not the place to stay. Only other thing I would say is the bed was not comfortable. For just a quiet relaxing place and don’t mind driving or getting taxi this is a good place to stay."
