This is the biggest beach of Aruba ! It’s in my top 5 ! The sunset in the point of the dividing between Divi and Eagle it’s the best spot to catch the sun goes down !! 100% recommended for younger crowds and to spread !!

Very nice beach! I love it! Not so crowded as Palm Beach.

Very nice beach. Beautiful and clean water. Parking is basically on the beach and free. It's a little windy, though, because there are not enough trees. Water is colder here, which I actually liked because it's very refreshing. Be prepared to spend $10 if you want to rent a chair. You can also rent jet skis for $80 for 30 mins. It's a lot of fun!

Eagle Beach is the ultimate beach experience if you want pristine white sands, clear turquoise water and peaceful atmosphere. Not too great for snorkeling though. The beach is not too crowded, with most visitors coming from the nearby Amsterdam Manor resort. Watching the sunset is great as well from here, the view is stunning. Tip: the wooden palm tree umbrellas are free, but the chairs cost money. If you bring your own chair you can most likely find yourself a nice spot in the shade :)

Probably the best beach I've ever seen. Much quieter, cleaner and warmer waters than Palm Beach. There are no boats docked here, so you don't get the crowds from tourists and choppy waters from the boats. It's wide open so there are plenty amounts of space. Sand was white and soft. Water is crystal clear and warm. The Divi trees are definitely worth checking out and taking a photo of. Not that many restaurants in the area compared to Palm Beach. But if you want a quiet, spacious and pretty much a better beach, come here! Loved just waking up and down along the waters here.

Excellent beach for swimming. The sand is soft and next to no rocks. It does become deep quickly so it isn't safe for kids to play in the water unsupervised or for adults who aren't strong swimmers without life vests. The water is pretty calm. There isn't much to see while snorkeling except at the see grass patches 0.5 km off shore where there are small fish and star fish. Umbrellas are free and 1st come, 1st serve. Chair are $10 to rent for the day.

Beautiful local beach There is white sand ample free parking 🅿️. Is short walk to the beach there are free huts. there are no waves so beach is quite quiet and nice there are also jet skis too rent.

One of the most beautiful beaches in the world. White sand, turquoise water and amazing sunset. A must see when you're in Aruba.

Beautiful beach with turquoise waters and soft white sand. Also, there are a couple of fofoti trees to take some cool pictures. Parking (free) is nearby. Shallow and calm waters make it ideal for families. There are a few restaurants nearby that have beach seating.

Gorgeous beach with phenomenal sand and mild to calm waters. The beach is super long and actually merges into other beaches if you walk down south. Plenty of bars and businesses can be found along the coast. Also, there is a cool pathway for bikes and walking with playgrounds and outdoor gym stops. Highly recommend this beach for hanging out!

Yes, it's as good as you already think it is!. The beach is absolutely gorgeous. It's a west facing beach so you won't see sunrise but you do see sunset. The sand is about as fine as I have ever seen. In many areas it's almost a powder. It's white and it's clean. The ocean is a gorgeous shade of turquoise and about 20 other shades of blue. We were in Aruba for 8 days and the first few days the ocean was calm and the beach was idyllic. The last few days the surf had picked up and was surprised to see 4- 5 ft waves! I got out there with many other people and had a blast body surfing and messing around. I'm glad we chose to stay on Eagle Beach. Our hotel was in a quieter section in the center of eagle beach and it never really got busy. To the south around Manchebo it was definitely busier as the hotels are much bigger. Eagle Beach does have a few dining options but not many. If you want a busier nightlife with more bars and restaurants, you need to go south to Manchebo or north to Palm Beach. The palm beach restaurant scene is pretty crazy and fun and you should definitely check it out, but I don't like sitting on the beach with a million people around, so we decided to stay on Eagle Beach and visit Palm Beach when we wanted. My girlfriend and I found easiest way to get around was on "bird" scooters. This kind of adds some fun to the adventure of going up to Palm Beach. It's about a 15 minute scooter ride from the middle of Eagle Beach to the beginning of the restaurant mayhem in Palm Beach. You can also scooter to Oranjestad, which we did a couple of times and that takes about 25 minutes on a scooter. Our last day in Aruba was on Dec 26th and four cruise ships docked that day adding about 14,000 people to the island. Needless to say, many of them came to Eagle Beach and it lost some of its charm as there are so many people. I'm glad we got to see it on quiet days and when I went on my morning walks sometimes I only saw two or three other people. It's a beautiful beach!

Very amazing beach and the water Is great but unfortunately there's no good food near by the only food on the beach is extremely over priced and you have to pay to use the bathroom if you go to eagle beach go prepared.

That’s a stunner. Love the fofoti trees and perfect turquoise water. Gets crowded, but well, I’m part of this crowd so who am I to complain.

Hermosa playa pero tenía un olor raro, me dijeron que era por la fecha (fui en Mayo 2-7). Tienen que visitarla de todas maneras, es libre y puedes llevar hasta comida sin ningún problema. (Translated by Google) Beautiful beach but it had a strange smell, they told me it was because of the date (I went on May 2-7). They have to visit it anyway, it's free and you can even bring food without any problem.

I can see why they rate this as one of the best beaches in the world. Parts are crowded but it would be easy to find a cozy spot.

This is the best beach in Aruba and one that is constantly ranked amongst the best in the world. A few tips. It will be very difficult to get a palapa unless you go very early in the morning. Bring your own tent or canopy. The beach is very wide and you won’t be bothering anyone. As this is the most popular beach, the tour guides will drop off cruisers in front of the Eagle Beach entrance and pick them up there as well. Go further down the beach to get more privacy and parking. Bathrooms are near the beginning of the beach, to the right of the entrance. I was never asked to buy anything for using them multiple times. I didn’t have luck finding the WI-FI, but apparently it’s free and available. If parking is full on the beach, you can park along the Main Street as well, but don’t be one of those parking in the sand, e we saw somebody get stuck almost every day.

Favorite beach ever! Beautiful turquoise water, soft white sand, friendly people. Everyone claps as the sun disappears beneath a pastel sky. The weather was perfect every day, with comfortable temps and a constant warm breeze. Stayed across the street at Eagle Aruba, so chairs were provided and beach access is free. Needed lots of sun protection but not a mosquito around and almost no seaweed.

No wonder it's named one of the best beaches in the world! The beach is seriously beautiful and although crowded in spots, we found some shade under trees away from all all the palapas.

This is the best beach for a reason. The sand is incredible, the water is pristine. It gets busy and can be windy. Having a hit for shade is important. Some places charge a fee for these. There are some shops and restaurants nearby. Plenty of activities available as well.

Beautiful beach and pretty dangerous waves which look innocent at first. Get deep very fast.

On this beach its always very Windy and colder water than on other beaches. Less palms here. Its a very big one and has lots of space Water is less beautiful here than on divi beach or palm beach Better to swim in the south of the beach, there are better views. On The North its also very smelly, from fofoti trees side.

I can say that Eagle Beach is one of my favorite beaches in the world! Water is clear and sand is amazing. If you’re visiting Aruba, definitely don’t miss visiting this beach, you will not regret it. From cruise terminal it was less the $10 ride. I didn’t notice any restaurants near so better bring with you some refreshments.

Great beach, bring your own shade and chairs and feel like you have the place to yourself.

Absolutely gorgeous Caribbean beach! Convenient shops, restaurants, hotels, and more. Probably the most popular beach for tourists so don't expect to have it all to yourself but not as crowded as say many points along the jersey shore. Sand is so fine and clean.. like nowhere else!

A most enjoyable space with warm caring service. My wife and I were here for our 30th wedding anniversary. Our every need was cared for. The staff went out of their way with our room selection and daily services. The morning breakfast was fantastic. We were able to have something delicious and different everyday. The beaches were intimate with white sand and on the beach service. The grounds and pool areas were very well designed including an in the pool bar area that made life easy for food and beverage service. The concierge service we top notch always finding the right opportunities for dining and off resort fun including diving adventures. I highly recommend the Aruba Marriott especially if you have never been too Aruba.

I reserved a room to celebrate my mother's birthday in Aruba. The Marriott was excellent. The Ocean View was fantastic. When I first checked in I was greeted with a complimentary liquor drink and Paula checked me in. She was friendly, welcoming, Courteous, and always had a smile. Every single Staff member deserves a round of applause. They set up the lounge chairs, chair and stack table by the sea every morning. The service on the beach by the sea was great. There isn't one bad thing to say. They are a Welcoming, Friendly, Hard working group of people and they made our stay very enjoyable.

We celebrated our honeymoon at the Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino in November 2023. My husband and I had a wonderful trip and would consider staying here again. Our waiter, Alexis at the Mercat Restaurant was one of the best parts of the trip- so kind, attentive, and made us feel special. He should really be given a raise at how hard he works there every single day! The family pool was beautiful, however the DJ that played there was a nice touch, but the music was often super loud and played some of the same songs each day. The adult pool was quieter, but often a little too warm in the middle of the day. The beach was beautiful! The palapas were really nice, but a little difficult to reserve - one day the site was down and we weren't able to do it. The location of the hotel was great for us, since it was towards the end of the touristy area which made it feel a bit more private even though there were a lot of people at the resort. I will say I wished the hotel room was nicer, but we didn't spend a lot of time there. We were upgraded to a room a step below a suite, however I felt like the room could have been decorated a bit better. Also, like other reviews say the walls are very thin. One night I could hear one of our neighbors vomiting and arguing which kept me up. I do feel like the resort had a lot to offer and was a whole lot nicer than the other two Marriott hotels next door to it.

We spent 6 beautiful nights at this resort. We upgraded to the Tradewinds Adult only floor with access to the adults only pool and beach. I have really no complaints except to say the hotel gym smells like a locker room. The staff were super friendly, they had excellent choices of restaurants from formal to chill. Surprisingly the Tradewinds/Concierge had excellent food for breakfast and lunch as well as a fantastic coffee machine. The beach is gorgeous, the adult pool is quiet and the other pool has a more vibrant party scene with a swim up bar and DJ. The hotel has a path along the beach which is about a 15 min walk to town. We'll be back to this property for sure. Highly recommend both Aruba and this property.

Just came back from my trip and had an amazing time. The beach is literally second away from the hotel, The pools are nice as well. Only downside is a few of the staff members prefer to help a certain race and ignore the others, I did experience this a few times when trying to order food or ask specific things about the hotel; but I did not let that ruin my trip. Also the food on the property is very expensive but there are a few bar and grills in walking distance that have amazing food and good vibes. I really enjoyed this hotel, it’s very beautiful the airport is about 25 minutes away, they have water activities right on the beach, there are other hotels in walking distance on the beach that have restaurants that you can eat at as well. All in all I recommend this resort other than the few bumps in the road that I encountered it was 10/10.

Great resort. The service was incredible with constant attention to anything you needed or wanted. Very friendly and helpful staff. Resort was in great condition. Excellent beach location. The Palapas are a must for the beach for some shade. The restaurants were extremely good for resort quality. We would definitely recommend this compared to the other resorts we saw and discussed with travelers here.

One Happy Resort on One Happy Island. Beautiful grounds, pristine beach and very good dining options. The Lobby turns into a great meeting place by night with Live Music and a very energetic vibe. Sushi Bar in Lobby should not be missed as it is like a main hub of activity. Great sushi options and well mixed drinks. Try the kimchi wings. Pool area is beautifully manicured. Swim up bar as well. Rooms comfortable with great views of pool and beach. Very friendly staff. Definitely a destination we will return to. It checked all the boxes for a great vacation.

Hotel was new, clean and in a great location. Employees were prompt, friendly and helpful. Didn't like the noisy room over the nightly karaoke, lack of perks for platinum elite members (no upgrade, no lounge, very basic breakfast), crowded beach+pool or prices for food. Might be a great hotel for some but not my family. Will stay elsewhere on the wonderful island of Aruba next time.

What a great and inviting resort. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by random staff members. The facility was super clean. The lobby and common areas were very well kept and clean. We took a stroll at night outside and the place was amazing and so vibrant and up beat. The bar scene, music and appetizers were awesome. The casino was great, we love the no Smoking rule. We topped off our first night with the gelato place not to mention STARBUCKS….the full real deal Starbucks.

This is such an amazing resort. There's the casino for adults. It was packed most of the time. The rooms are a little dated but are comfortable. There is a gelato place, some gift shops, a Starbucks, a bar and some restaurants. So, there are lots of options at the resort. The pool was great, and the pool bar was a plus. The beach is absolutely beautiful! The best and cleanest Aruba beach we have seen for sure. There are chairs that you can ask the staff to set out for you on the beach, but beware chairs at the beach and pool are taken very quickly, so make sure to arrive early. There are a few dining options at the resort, such as Ruth's Chris steak house. We ate at the steak house, and even though our food was amazing, our server was not very friendly. It kind of felt like he looked annoyed with everyone with kids as he acted the same way with another table close by to us with kids. The staff were mostly very nice and welcoming. The only thing I will add is that they take island time very seriously, and it can take such a long time to eat and get drinks. We ate lunch at the sushi restaurant, and that by far was the slowest service. we waited over 45 minutes to get our order taken, and there were lots of empty tables, so it wasn't busy. I don't know if they were short staffed, and maybe that made it worse, but a lot of the staff kept telling us that it's just island life. Check-in was a breeze, and Gary, who checked us in, was so nice and professional. Overall, it was a great beach, good service, and absolutely gorgeous!

I did not stay at the hotel itself but visited the casino. Would give zero stars if this were possible. The staff was unbelievably rude and disrespectful. I was sitting at a three card poker table with my wife in a stool next to mine ,and playing two hands. My wife, who had just undergone kidney donation a month prior and was still recovering, was minding her own business when two extremely abrasive security guards came over and asked her to leave because she was taking up a seat. Mind you, I was playing two hands!!! The irony of it is that at my table there were three boys who could not have been older than 14 and clearly entered with a fake ID. My wife pointed out to the security staff that if they were so bent on following the rules maybe they shouldn’t allow children to gamble. Of course, because the casino is all about making money (hell, they’d let a five year old in to play), they ignored her comment and kept insisting she leave. I’m an avid fan of casinos and have visited more establishments in my life than I can count. This was by far the worst experience. Disgusting staff who plays rule police but readily turn a blind eye to underage gambling and drinking. Complete jerks!!!

We LOVE this place (2nd time here). I am a Marriott Ambassador/Diamond member. The staff is SUPER friendly and helpful. The property is clean. We love the adult pool for quiet relaxing days soaking in sun. The GM Raoul took the time to get to know us and ask about our experience. Truly everything was awesome and the location is great as you can walk to so many places for shopping and eating. We will be back!

This is a hotel worth its five stars. First class everything. We stayed there earluer but this time we went just fir the brunch. The best on the island; very good variety, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Thank you Marriott staff

This is a beautiful hotel. The rooms are lovely. The bathrooms and closet space are impressive. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast at La Vista Restaurant. The dinner is good, too. Be aware that they add a 15% service charge to breakfast, 18% to dinner, and 20% at the spa. The service charge does not include the gratuity. There are designated times to sign up for a palapa. Be prepared to spend $30/day for one, because there are not a lot of free ones. The spa is located next door in the Marriott Ocean Club. It's an easy walk. There are 2 pools. One is adults only. The pools are only 3 feet deep. I wish they had deeper sections. Still, it's a wonderful hotel. I would definitely recommend it.

I would say my birthday and honeymoon stay was great, the staff was super amazing and did everything they could to make our special events special, we would def return for another stay. My only recommendation would be more options to room service menu and maybe future room renovations , but other than that our stay was great. This resort is located in the heart of palm beach which puts you next to many beautiful beaches and lots of restaurants and bars. Special shout out to Ludwig for all his help.

Excellent place to stay! Staff are very kind and always greet you. The security guards are my favourite, always smiling and joking with the guests. Great lobby area to study or work and with Starbucks and Ruths Chris steakhouse there you don’t need much else. Close to the main palm beach strip if you want to see some stores or other food places.

Not the best view of the beach from your balcony but everything else about this resort is excellent. The service is spectacular! There are stores for shopping, casino, Starbucks, and several restaurants on site. Many activities to choose from for all ages. I would recommend this resort to my friends and family.

Would not recommend. Currently here on a 4 night trip. Had I known the rooms were not soundproof and they allow karaoke in the main lobby until 10pm+ I would have just stayed at the Renaissance. If you’re expecting a relaxing vacation, look elsewhere. Update 1: Since review they have relocated me to a quieter room. We shall see later on tonight and will update accordingly.

Amazing amazing AMAZING! This is a well maintained hotel and the team at the hotel is phenomenal. When my family visited, the pool wasn't opened due to renovations. It was unfortunate, but it didn't really affect our experience because of the close walk to the beach, which was so convenient. You'll find staff everywhere who are willing to provide anything you need. They will go above and beyond. My throat was a little dry during my trip, and every morning, I had requested for someone to bring hot water to my room. When I would call, my phone would be answered in seconds- they are FAST. The hot water would be provided in a thermos container, which was good enough for 4-5 cups of hot water. It was amazing. After someone would deliver it to my room with a smile on their face, they'd always end the conversation with, "is there anything else I can get for you?" The hospitality was 5 out of 5. The rooms were nice and clean. Super spacious. The food on the resort was good and the drinks were good too. The resort is super close to the downtown area, so it was nice to have the option to leave for dinner/shopping. I had no complaints about the resort at any point during my trip.

Excellent place to stay in Aruba. Beautiful resort with both a larger all purpose pool and an adult pool. Excellent service along with staff to plan your excursions. A big shout-out to Joe Wayne. Restaurants on the premises for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and when our travels bring us back to Aruba, will stay here again.

When we arrived to check in there was a guest complaining about not having the correct room that he reserved due to the hotel overbooking that particular room. This was an alarming sign to me as I had read multiple reviews complaining about the same issue prior to our stay. We were checked in by Jose. He looked confused as he was checking us in and asked what type of room we reserved (second red flag) I had showed him my reservation receipt for 1 king bed And an ocean view. He then stated he would return in a few minutes and went to the back. Approx 20 minutes later he returned with a smile on his face and handed us our room keys I then asked if we were being checked into the room that we paid for ( 1 king bed and an ocean view) he confirmed that we were being checked into the correct room. After he gave us instructions on how to navigate the hotel I asked him once more if we were being given the room we reserved and he again confirmed. When we got to the room there were 2 twin beds. I had reserved a king bed. It was our anniversary we did not want to sleep in separate beds on this trip. After going back to the checking desk we were greeted very rudely by Francesca. After explaining that we were given the wrong room she rudely snapped “no you weren’t you booked 2 twin beds I see it right here.” After showing her my reservation receipt through Costco travel she asked me to email it to her. I then emailed her the reservation and she went to the back for some time. After she returned she stated the reservation was randomly changed a few hours before we arrived and there was nothing she could do to accommodate us. My wife and I slept in separate beds the entire trip. How romantic. The beach is clean and has nice views but the towel staff isn’t always friendly. Pool food was well below average and we ate at the ritz next door every day. Staff was much more friendly at the ritz. We won’t be staying here again. I forgot to mention… if you want to sit at the beach… good luck. They reserve chairs/umbrellas 3 days prior for $30 a piece. We got lucky and were able to reserve an umbrella for 1 day. Many guests never get to sit at the beach. The hotel was fully booked and very loud. Loud music playing during most hours of the day. We are a young couple (in our 20s).. loud music usually doesn’t bother us but it got old after a while.

We came here on our honeymoon and it was wonderful! Even though it’s not all inclusive, we enjoyed the meals at the hotel and on our own! There are two pool depending on the environment you are looking for. The staff were so kind and helpful!

A 5 star experience like no other! Amazing service at the Tradewinds portion of the resort. Great views, beach and amazing hospitality and staff! There are many reasons we found guests who visited this resort time and time again, year after year. Looking forward to coming back to this one! Marriott brand at its finest.

Beautiful hotel. As most Marriott's. The location is great for near and easy access to tourist areas. The view of the beach is spectacular. The staff were awesome, professional and friendly. The room was clean. Though I would have preferred to see more complimentary options in the refrigerator with the cost of the room. There was no safe in the room. The beach access, adult pool access and happy hours were great. The bar/ sushi area was very nice. Ronald made the best Indulgence drink ever! Though the sushi rice was cooked a bit hard for my liking the sushi was good. Beautiful holiday decor. The Atardi restaurant at night was amazing. This Marriott is on my to 3 hotels in the Caribbean. **No shuttle transportation to/from the airport. But taxi ride was $35**

We've stayed at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stella's Casino before many times and have generally been happy with our experience. However, the hotel has definitely gone downhill and needs updating, so the experience was not great this time. The room needs some renovation, as the beds were rock hard and hurt my back, the walls need some fresh paint, the bathroom looks like one in a cheap motel, with towel bars falling out of the walls, toilet paper holder broken, etc. The breakfast restaurant was a total madhouse with long lines to be seated and very slow service. The beach wasn't much better with palapas on top of each other and almost a complete impossibility to actually reserve one. Service was also much less friendly than usual. I don't think we'll stay here again. Definitely a disappointing experience this time.

Great beach for snorkeling. Clearest water in the whole island. Extra points for the free built-in umbrellas on the shore. Definitely a must-visit beach in Aruba

Phenomenal. Water is paradise. Make sure to bring water shoes as it's rocky. Well worth for snorkeling and viewing of the gorgeous sunsets

Beautiful local beach not to many

This is by far the best beach on the island. It’s not sandy, but easy to walk on without shoes… it is absolutely gorgeous, the water is so clear, and if you have snorkeling gear, this is the place to do it. It’s rocky, but you can walk into the water barefoot, just go slowly. Once you’re in, swim out past the first cliff and start swimming in the right direction, following along the cliffs edge. It’s very deep and very clear and so many fish to see. We saw a large turtle on our last visit there just a couple of days ago. Malmok Beach is by far my favorite place on the entire island. It has 4 built in to the rocks/sand umbrella tables, so if you get there first, you claim one and you’ll have some shade. It’s mostly rocky terrain, so just be prepared for that. If you have water shoes, I would recommend wearing those. But it’s not impossible to walk without them. Best time to snorkel the area is morning time. Highly recommend this beach. So glad we did. Also the perfect spot to watch the sunset.

A great place to snorkel. We stumbled upon this location while riding our bikes to the lighthouse. There were 2 pirate ships anchored just off shore and a bunch of people snorkeling. We saw a ton of different fish and 2 anchors on the bottom of the ocean. Just make sure you wear something on your feet when you go in. It is a great place to visit.

This place is just amazing. I have no words. Best place for snorkeling. Wonderful underwater life. The beach is rocky but that's okay. Water is so clear and blue. Totally recommend it!

Great place to snorkel. Beautiful water. Palapas to use. Not as busy as other nearby beaches. No toilet.

Beautiful, quiet little beach great for snorkeling (sea turtles can occasionally be seen). As some have mentioned, however, the entrance to the beach is quite rocky, so be prepared.

Great place to snorkel, swim, or watch the sunset. A little less crowded than the major beaches and the water was crystal clear.

All beaches in Aruba are beautiful and free. This happens to be a secluded spot because it's on the side road and it is an old coral reef skeleton. You will need water shoes and a plan to get back up. Its rocky and different. Water is clear and there are a lot of pelicans. There is a spot on the right side where you can walk into the water. Jumping is not recommended!

Nice place for snorkeling Saw 3 Turtles in deeper water And some fishes next to rocks and Stones

Beautiful spot to sit and chill early in the morning. Yes, it's facing East but still beautiful and the tranquility cannot be beat!

What a find! I stumbled upon this beach on a run and it completely took my breath away. The closer I got to the water, the more stunning it became. There's this massive coral skeleton that stretches across the sand, like a secret world just waiting to be explored. Snails, shells, and even live sea urchin were all nestled within it — a real-life treasure trove. It’s a side of Aruba that's off the beaten path, where nature puts on a show just for those who wander. If you're here, make the trip; it's an undiscovered gem that's worth every step.

Nice snorkeling beach not too crowded

A small, rocky beach with just enough sand to make it enjoyable. Beautiful clear water great for snorkeling. Plenty of pelicans around the day we visited!

Very cool shipwreck with an interesting history. Lots of swim-thru's for every level of diver, lots of gorgeous soft coral growth, and a few resident turtles to make even the snorkelers happy. Don't miss this wreck!

My favorite thing to do in Aruba! Awesome experience. Absolutely stunning and the crystal clear water adds to the experience. It can be done with a private charter through one of the hotels or as a group outing on one of the large boats. Just depends on what you are looking for.

Nice shallow dive perfect for pretty much all experience levels, we had no current which made it an even better dive for looking at some of the macro life, this anemone had a couple of shrimps you can barely make out in the picture and the sand bed had tons of life, including some very cool Jaw-fish, seen poking his yellow head in one of the pictures.

It was a great adventure make sure you wear sunscreen. The captain & crew were beyond friendly eye candy & the drinks we had were HEAVY on the liquor.

I was able to visit this shipwreck as one of three stops on a snorkeling catamaran cruise. It's about 60 feet down, so from a snorkeling viewpoint, it's a bit hazy. We saw a few varieties of tropical fish near the site. I think for this site, scuba diving would be a better way to explore it. From what I could see as a snorkeler, it was OK.

Highly recommend a snorkel trip or a submarine trip to see. ($40-$75PP)

this is like my favorite place on the planet. best scuba diving. The wreck is so huge and if you can dive, you should do that instead of snorkeling. the water is calm and I saw like six turtles. awesome would give six stars if I could

This was probably the best part of my birthday trip. Me and my party literally took over the entire boat. lol We had a blast. The crew was so cool and down to earth. Jumping off the boat was my favorite part. I love swimming and it's just something about the water in Aruba that makes your body feel so good. This will definitely be another place I visit on my next trip to Aruba.

Never disappoints!!!! Bring your water camera and take home the beauty to remember later. We do the Jolly Pirate every year and we love it! Truly breathtaking views in the crystal clear water.

We went on a organized snorkeling adventure to the Antilla Shipwreck with "Pelican Adventures". It was a good trip out there and the crew was very fun to be around. They first brought us over the wreck so that you could snorkel in that area. The ship is big 398.3 ft (121.4 m) so you will not miss it and it is sitting at about 60 ft (18.2 m) in the water. But depending on the lighting will depend on how well you will see the boat. After about an hour we left that area and moved closer to the shore and more shallow water about 10-15 feet (3-4 m). A lot of little fish and my wife spotted a sea turtle.

What a great dive! My son and myself had the best experience with our dive and seen amazing stuff.

Took the Palm Pleasure catamaran to the Antilla Shipwreck and definitely don’t forget the waterproof phone cover to catch a few images, mine are a little foggy but an awesome sight to see.

This spot was quite impressive. From the ship I took, you could snorkel along the entire ship which is not that far from the surface. Although I was able to touch it, my ears popped so I would recommend ear plugs. Scuba diving is available at the spot as well. The water is so fantastic to swim in all over the island of Aruba.

This place is like a tiny peace of heaven. The grounds are immaculate. They keep them very well pleasing to the eye. Housekeeping is daily, and the ambience is really peaceful. My 2nd favorite part is the ability to walk the community outside the hotel and be safe. We truly enjoyed our stay. The staff are courteous and friendly. I recommend them a million times over.

Love, love, loved it! Beautifully landscaped...family pool and Adult Only pool with an infinity pool..andvlots of iguanas and lizards running around..and the beach is there too. Friendly and attentive staff ...it truly it the HAPPY Island. Highly recommended

Wonderful vacation spot. We can't wait to come back. We did some exploring of the island, but everywhere we went, we couldn't wait to get back to the ocean and pools at the Hyatt!! We ate bot casino people, so I can't say whether that was any good, we only walked in for the a/c.

I was very excited to go to the hotel after reading all the great reviews; however, there was a hurricane in NY and my flight got canceled. I called the hotel to adjust the dates and they did not, said there is no “credit system” so I would just lose my reservation. This is the first time I’ve ever encountered a hotel doing that. I would not recommend this hotel during hurricane season in case your flight gets changed as you would have to pay extra / no show and lose your money.

Went there for a long weekend. Aruba is amazing and the Hyatt is a very nice hotel in a great location on the island. Plenty of off-campus places in walking distance to get breakfast or lunch besides the hotel's great spot. There are tons of restaurants for great dinners on the island. The casino in the hotel is a perfect place to get your gambling fix. The sea is amazing to just chill. The Hyatt Regency Aruba offers the perfect getaway.

This hotel is literally at the airport. I walked to my room from the airport. The staff was nice. Clean hotel and rooms. I have no complaints expect the cab rides are $34 always because it's the airport. If you rent a car, it'll be just fine. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. It was nice and cleaned. The service was great and the most of the workers was like family. There was 1 person at the front desk that wasn't pleasant though she didn't check us in. I love the location because lots of stuff is in walking distance.

Still amazing after 14 years. We first visited on our Honeymoon in 2009 and loved it! Decided to come back this year and it did not disappoint. It was wonderful to see that after 14 years, it is still as beautiful as it was then. Each day I see staff cleaning, painting, doing projects on the grounds etc which really keeps the property looking new and fresh. This is a little slice of paradise from the moment you walk in. -The staff is friendly and helpful, and they seem to really enjoy their jobs. -The rooms are updated and spotless. -The hotel is in what we feel to be the most ideal location for both the beach and the town with the ability to walk to many ships and restaurants. -The Casino is clean with a large variety of games (needs one more Caribbean Stud table, as that seemed to have a line of ppl waiting to play) - Fun water slide at the pool for both kids & adults to enjoy. -There is an adults only section, but we stayed on the beach most of the time. -Live music & a DJ at the bars. -My only critique, and it is hard to find one, would be to improve the process of reserving beach huts. We were able to get one everyday, but it was confusing as to what was reserved, how to reserve and what the “rules” were. And again, that is just a suggestion, but I give this property a 10 out of 10. Can’t wait to come back. Well done Hyatt!

I have been to many resorts in the islands. Hyatt Regency in Aruba is now on the top of my list! The service is great! If you go to the lobby bar, meet the bartender Elvis! He is great! The food at every place on the resort is spectacular! The roasted chicken wrap from the pool service was the best! But if you are looking for a good variety of food the club lounge is not the place to go. Remember the umbrellas and chairs have to be reserved the day before they are not first come. Also you have to pay for the umbrellas. There are many restaurants and shops and a marketplace within walking distance from the resort. Overall this place is great! Would definitely recommend! It's one happy island!!

We stayed in a pool view suite (846). Spacious, kids loved the bunk beds. No laundry or kitchenette facility at this resort. The palapa (beach umbrellas) get booked out quick. Reverse then online at least 2 weeks before. More during Nov to Jan (busy season). Service is good. Not many food options for vegetarians.

Awesome stay. Terrific service, friendly people and beautiful resort. They have everything you could need or want in room and on property. Had a few special requests and they accommodated all of them with a smile. Thanks for a pleasant stay. Would return!! It is definitely worth staying here.

My stay at the Hyatt Regency in Aruba was nothing short of exceptional. The breathtaking views, coupled with its ideal location, made it a perfect choice. The hotel is l kid-friendly and also exudes a sense of safety that adds to the overall experience. The beauty of the surrounding water is truly mesmerizing, offering a picturesque backdrop throughout the stay. What truly set this experience apart was the unparalleled service. The staff's attentiveness and commitment to ensuring a memorable stay made it one of the best hotel experiences I've had. Highly recommend the Hyatt Regency in Aruba for a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and top-notch service.

Stayed here for our trip to Aruba. The hotel was sooo clean. We had the same housekeeper everyday (Clara) who was absolutely amazing she went above and beyond making sure our room had ice in it everyday and even put my clothes I had in pile on floor in a bag for me. Little things that she didn't have to do but are very appreciated. The location is perfect and the adult pool is great! Can't wait to come back and stay again in the future!

Probably the best location on Palm beach. Right in between all the shops and restaurants. You can practically walk everywhere. The beach was very nice as well. They had room service type of food on demand. However very pricy. All of the staff I encountered were very pleasant and caring. Food options in the hotel were lacking. Price paid for the value is the main reason for 3 stars. The Hyatt didn’t offer enough compared to other places I have stayed.

Very large beach front resort. Rooms can be distant from the single elevator bank (mine was .1 mile). An adult and a children's pool. Beach front umbrellas and comfortable lounges included. Cabanas are a lot extra. Nice to watch sunset and have drinks on the balcony. Several restaurants and I recommend BLT Steak

Great hotel. It is in the perfect location, can easily walk to dozen of restaurants and bars. Lots of nightlife in the area but the hotel isn’t situation in a way that it affects your stay. The grounds are great. Really nice pool layout, with an adults only pool off to the side if you don’t want to be bothered. There’s also a water slide. Lots of huts and beach chairs available, all reservable through an online portal. Hotel offers lots of built in activities and has a dock and water sports station just out back for all your water rental needs.

I didn't stay here. My husband and I were on a cruise. We had an hour and a half until our excursion with Piet's bar began. We walked over to the Hilton by their pool. A waiter came over and welcomed us. No worries that we weren't staying there. Passed the time with some local beers. Very hospitable.

Everything was pretty good until the time for check out. We had 4 rooms, our transportation pick up time was 3:30. Hotel refused to allow us a late check out at least for 1 room. They were just absolutely unwilling to accommodate us and make our departure unstreesfull. And that is after been this hotel customer for 5 times and leaving ton of money there. Even if I ever return to Aruba it will be different hotel for sure

Excellent resort. I forgot an item at the hotel, and there was clear communication with Carmen on retrieving the item. Spectacular! - restaurant is very good with an extensive wine list - cafe has an excellent panini for only $7 and great coffee - the shops inside the hotel are a bit overpriced for watches, but lots of selection - rooms are clean and roomkeeping is on time - lounge is clean with a good selection of food, drinks, and working stations - pool is clean (Adult one especially) - easy walk to the beach - easy to get a taxi - casino is a decent size with a wide varietary of table games and slots - free $10 bet Overall, great resort. Conveniently located in the center of the area and great staff. Would stay again.

The hotel has a great location. They are many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Rooms are clean and in good condition. Food is fresh but a little pricey but understandable. Something I wasn’t happy with is the fact that you need to reserve your pool chair in advanced or risk not having one for the day. Or be force to purchase a cabana for $450+ a day. Or a “special location” chair for $60. I didn’t have to do neither one but my husband did woke up at 6:45am in order to get a lounge chair for the day. Guests would reserve the complementary chairs and not show up but anyone waiting had to wait until the cutoff time which is 11am in order to get a spot. This is a little of an inconvenience, this process should be first come first serve like any normal hotel. Other than that everything else was great.

Great views, lively casino. Variety of pools and bars, great food, nice beaches and the ability to rent all sorts of water craft. My only complaint is that the majority of rooms have a balcony that is literally 1 foot wide, Just enough to walk out and close the door behind you. Clearly an attempt to raise prices for a balcony without actually giving you a useable one. Nice place tho

We spent six nights at this hotel. It was wonderful!! Whenever we requested something from the front desk, they promptly provided it. It was not hard to get a chair at the pool or beach. It was in a great location to walk around. The Regency Club served its purpose and provided snacks and beverages when we needed it. I would definitely return to this resort!

Large facility with SUPER nice employees. They always make you feel special. Right on the beach with both family and adult only pools. Restaurant is also great. Amazing presentation and taste. Highly recommend if you can afford it.

The rooms could use some updating, but I love this hotel. The service is phenomenal. They keep the grounds absolutely beautiful, along with the wildlife and birds there. We didn't like our room at first, I need a balcony or at least can open a window. There was nothing available until the 3rd night we were there. So we had to pay for an upgrade for the 3rd night we were there throughout the rest of our stay. I cannot say enough about the bar/restaurant staff and beach amenities.

Parking lot machine doesn't give change! Be careful put your car there. Good way yo still your money. And now you just giving me your "sorry" instead of some solution? You stole my money! Now i have to loose my time just to get my money back ?

Absolutely beautiful resort, and couldn't have been a more perfect 3 day stay. The staff were so kind, helpful, and welcoming. From receiving a glass of champagne upon arrival with macaroons, to beachside drink/food service it was excellent. I want to give a special shoutout to Mary from the juice/smoothie bar down by the beach, she remembered my name every time I came down and went above and beyond!!! I am going to miss her energy, attentiveness, and those delicious smoothies/acai bowls. My only suggestion for the hotel as a whole, would be to add more local cuisine to the menu as well as more vegetarian/vegan options. I would love to see more Aruban food but everything we did have was excellent! I hope to be back one day.

Incredible hotel. Every inch of the property is kept extremely clean and beautiful. The staff goes over the top to be kind and helpful. The rooms are modern and clean. The beaches are amazing. Worth every penny.

5 out of 5. Not one bad thing to say about our experience. Impeccable service and the cleanest resort I think I have ever stayed at. We look forward to staying there again in January.

I spent Halloween in Aruba this year and searched the island for the best events. One of my favorites was the special Fang-Tastic Halloween event at The Casino at the Ritz-Carlton Aruba. As I arrived, I noticed a display of Halloween-themed cupcakes free for the taking along with spooky-colored witches' brew and a live band playing salsa music. One of the employees told me that gamblers with a casino loyalty card earned extra points on this evening and were eligible for up to $11,000 in cash prizes. There are plenty of table games and slot machines at this luxury casino, the highest end one on the island of Aruba.

One of the nicer casinos on the island..tables didn't open til 5pm. Nice staff !

Always liked this casino best on Aruba. 2nd time in Aruba (2020 cancelled) and went to it repeatedly throughout both our stays. Spotless and friendly from the player's club, to the floor staff to the table dealers. What we would call generous slots. Will go back everytime when in Aruba.

Day 3 of 9. Second time back. Plan on 8 more visits for sure!! Staff is outstanding. On the concierge level and well worth every penny. Sweetest people, super helpful. Probably only (royal pain from my end) is getting a lounge chair on our balcony. Apparently that ain’t happening;) oh well. All else is awesome otherwise. Maybe into our 6th or 7th visit we’ll get those lounge chairs;) This is TRULY the happiest island anywhere.

Small casino, but fun and friendly staff. Spent most time playing blackjack but the cards weren’t in my favor 🤷🏼‍♂️

Had the most fun here at the Ritz Carlton Casino. Went back again, and won both times. Beautiful and exciting place.

Probably the best casino on the Island. Good amount of tables and great selection of games.

Place is overrated food is mediocre and very expensive, for example basic breakfast $85 for two ! There is super friendly staff, everyone is smiling and very friendly

I would give this casino zero stars if I could. This casino is the worst I have ever been to. It is very small and not many options for tables. Tonight they had two $100 minimum blackjack tables open with NOBODY sitting there. They had a $25 minimum table with no dealer. I asked the pit boss to open the $25 minimum table he said he would “open it and change it to $100 minimum”. I then went to the VIP desk to ask her to get this situation addressed. She went over to the pit boss and he said they would not open that because there were “high rollers” in the building. I stayed in the casino for over an hour and both $100 minimum tables were empty the entire time. I asked the pit boss (very kindly) to open the $25 minimum table for the third time and he said no with no good reason. I then asked for his name so I could pass it along to upper management. He covered his name tag and refused to give me his name. I asked multiple times and he refused to give me his name he kept saying why do I need his name clearly knowing he would be called out for his behavior. This is extremely unprofessional and possibly illegal. I am staying at the Ritz which is the most expensive hotel in Aruba expecting to be treated with respect at the very least. I decided to walk down to the Marriott to gamble. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CASINO TO ANYONE. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT NORMAL PEOPLE only “high rollers”. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Marriott or Hyatt where they actually treat people with respect.

Right across the street from the beach. Provided chairs, towels and paplapas on the beach where the water was teal and blue and perfect temperature in February. Large pool on premise along with slide. There was a couple restaurants on premise that were pretty good. Also a casino on site. Everything was clean and staff was very friendly. Lots close to the resort, shopping, exploring, beach, etc

This place is great! The staff is always friendly, polite and accommodating. The units are clean and spacious. Housekeeping does a great job. The pool area is so well kept. Happy hour every day. The restaurants have good food at reasonable prices. Ocean views from our balcony was beautiful. #1 Eagle Beach right across the street! Couldn’t ask for a better vacation spot.

My partner and I stayed at La Cabana last year and we had a great experience. This year we decided to stay at Eagle Aruba Resort and Casino which is across the walkway from La Cabana. I brought my two Maltese (small 7lbs) service dogs on this trip. On one of the first days of arrival of the current trip, my partner and I walked through the lobby and pool area of La Cabana with our service dogs and there were no issues. However, two days ago my partner and I were going to speak to someone at the car rental desk located within the lobby of La Cabana and were stopped by security at the entrance of the building and told no pets allowed. I calmly explained my dogs were in fact service dogs and not pets. We were asked to wait a minute while I assumed security was checking in with management. After what seemed like 5 minutes of standing outside with no word or update from security, I proceeded to walk inside the lobby and speak to another employee and explain the situation, as well as the purpose of me being on the premise. At one point the bellhop suggested I walk around the building if I didn't want to wait. I again explained that I wanted to get information about a car rental that was located in the lobby, not on the side or back of the resort. The employee, with reservations, allowed me and my partner to proceed to the rental car desk. This experience wasn't positive at all and added unnecessary stress. It makes me consider whether I would stay at an establishment that cannot accommodate service animals and begs the question of whether this establishment is welcoming and inclusive to all.

Great resort. Been twice now. Clean. Friendly staff. Used it as part of Blue Green (which has recently been bought out by Hilton). When you use it as part of the time share, they tend to give you the rooms with the worst views though eg. parking lot, parts under construction. If you just want a place to stay using the bonus time option and don't really care about the view, it's good. It tends to attract an older crowd who enjoy the BINGO around the pool during the day.

Have been coming here for many years, overall is ok, but the last 3 years there is a heavy Sewer smell that at times will come by the beach area. It seems like it is getting worse each year. Beautiful beach but the smell kills it.

Older, well kept resort that appears to cater to an older clientele. Some families but lots of retirees. Great location right on eagle beach. Several pools and hot tubs, live music every afternoon. Photo is from early morning before the beach gets busy.

Don't forget to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking any hotel. This web site will compare countless booking web sites and typically will have prices much cheaper than others! Thank me later! This place is one of the most well known in the area. I've been staying here for a long time. If you choose this place you won't regret it. Somewhat older timeshare but very clean and well kept. Rooms are in the process of being updated. Very kind and helpful staff including front desk and housekeeping. Aruba is just beautiful with many things to explore and visit nearby the LaCabana Resort.

Amazing location across the street from Eagle Beach. The pool area is great and usually has live music during happy hour. The restaurant is pretty good and the service at the resort is great. If you get an interior room it will be noisy, poor design and lack of soundproofing. You hear every conversation in the hallway. If you like to sleep, it can be very annoying.

La Cabana was very nice. The rooms were nice, the staff was amazing, the food was really good, the resort activities were fun, the pool was nice, and the resort was right across the street from the ocean. We really enjoyed ourselves there. The only downside was the construction, but they are working on making the pool area better and I can't wait.

We had a great stay at La Cabana. Rooms were clean and the bars, staff, restaurants, and pool were all great. My only complaint is after a few days their security started asking our kids about their wrist bands. They hadn’t done it earlier in the week and no one told us they needed to wear it. The bands were far too big for them and would have lost them had we kept them on the kids.

We have a timeshare here at La Cabana and it’s like a home away from home. The location is great, the beach is just a short walk across the street (many activities to do on Eagle Beach, HIGHLY recommend tubing) and there are many restaurants in walking distance nearby. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. new updated furniture has been added pretty recently in the rooms (new beds, couches, tables) Each room has a small kitchenette if you prefer to make meals (which also has a dishwasher and fridge and freezer). The service is also great. Bed was made and towels were replaced pretty much everyday. Every worker is so kind and helpful. Not to mention happy hour is 3 times a day every day and the nightlife and day life is so much fun. although there is some construction going on, it’s hardly in the way and the new additions will be very nice. i highly recommend this amazing place!

I booked this hotel because of the prior reviews but I was honestly disgusted by this place. 1st incident was when I was assigned to a mold stinking room. I asked for another room but they were supposedly all booked so they sent someone to drop off a humidifier in an attempt to clean the air. 2nd our coffee maker didn't work. 3rd when we were in the pool it had a strong sewer odor coming from nearby 3rd I stood 3 nights and not one time did they clean the room or offered to leave us some fresh towels 4th we ordered some food by the restaurant pool, they forgot our food ! They felt so bad the manager had to come and offer us free drinks..it was a complete nightmare. I was expecting more for a resort. All in all Aruba was a wonderful place with nice people and the ATV was definitely a favorite and well worth the money.

Best spot! Great pool, plenty of lounge chairs, tables, on the best beach in the world, Eagle beach! The beach is not jammed up like the downtown high rise hotel's with kids , noise and watersports. A $10. Taxi ride will get you downtown when you need to. ✌😎

Our go to resort for the last 25 years and hopefully for the next 25. Home away from home. The upgrades to the rooms are magnificent. Friendly staff all around. A new pool is coming! Great to see them keeping up.

I have been an owner for over 20 years. La Cabana is a well run and beautiful resort. Staff are polite and attentive. Located on beautiful Eagle Beach. New pool is in progress and rooms/decor went through a recent renovation. Centrally located with easy access to stores and restaurants.

This place is peaceful and amazing to stay near the most beautiful beach I have ever been to. There are plenty of activities to do if you are just staying at the place and a nearby bus route of you want to go north or south of the island. Its also very near to a very complete and economic super market. The staff is super friendly and the rooms are nice. Great place!

Overall, the resort was nice, but the room was smaller than expected and dated. The pool and proximity to the beach was perfect. For those who like to save a bit and cook some of the meals themselves, the grocery store was less than an 8 minute walk. The casino was small and only 3 table games but an adequate number of slot machines. Check-in and check out was simple, and the fact that there was an on-site car rental was amazing and very affordable for the daily rate.

Right across from beautiful Eagle Beach, great pool, nice staff, helpful concierge, comfortable rooms, and with SuperFood across the street plus kitchenettes with everything you need to whip up quick meals you can save a lot of money not needing to eat in restaurants for every meal. Noisy if you're facing the pool but very quiet if you have a non-pool facing room. I've been in both and the non-pool facing experience was much more relaxing for me.

We love LA Cabana! This is our 11th visit. I am a little disappointed in our room placement. Not everyone can have a pool view, but the garden view is isolating.

We have stayed here twice. The location is great and it is right across the street from Eagle Beach. We were there during busy season so it wasn't easy to get a palapa, unless you are a die hard and get out onto the beach before 7 am. For me, I'm on vacation and I'm surely not setting an alarm to get a palapa. There are many restaurants in walking distance and a large grocery store that you can walk to as well. They also had several places to eat on site as well as a small casino. The pool area is nice, they had a kiddie pool, an adults pool and a main pool. Happy hour each day was fun and it definitely gets busy and lively. We didn't take advantage, but they have various activities each day. Although we did not bring ours on this trip, this resort would be a good place to bring kids and we will definitely be bringing ours back next time. We loved our stay here and would likely only stay here or at Eagle Aruba right behind this resort.

What a beautiful Resort! Wonderful service. Kind and happy smiles. Pool was wonderful. The walk across the street to Eagle Beach was fabulous! Palapas on the beach and Lacabana attendants were so very helpful.

Excellent experience. Only complaint we had was the constant smell of sewage while outside around the pool and beach. Smelled like a septic tank overflowed or water treatment plant nearby. But staff was nice rooms clean and not musty. Any issue we had with the room was immediately addressed by the staff. Would recommend!

The waves are too dangerous. Period. No way I would bring small kids here. The Manchebo beach is the most beautiful beach but is too dangerous, especially for kids. The Palms beach is very calm and nice for kids but less pleasant due to seagrass. The Divi beach is the golden middle.

One of my favorite beaches on Aruba because of its soft white sand and long stretch of beach.

It was then not the newest and not the fanciest location - but we had the best beach and only a limited crowd. it was more family like.

Unbelievable pride in making everything as best as they can. From the garden, to the beach, restaurants, staff. It feels like a quiet paradise you can forget about everything

This is beautiful beach with a large shoreline, we visited it during sunset it got quieter...but its beautiful..little far off from the hustle

One of my favorite beaches in the world. Crystal clear water, gentle waves, white sands. Marvelous place.

We have been going to Aruba for 25 plus years staying on eagle Beach and there isn't a more relaxing lovely place to go.

Very pretty water but rough and not great for kids to swim

Wide open beach, not overcrowded in any way. Constant rolling waves provide a fresh ocean atmosphere as opposed to the more stagnant waters of Palm Beach. Manchebo is our favorite beach on the island

Beautiful wide Beach. Bring your own chairs if you're not staying in the beach resorts as all the beds and Umbrellas are for them. Even if they're not being used or waiting to be used security will not let you stay there. The ocean is very rough and gets deep very quickly so not good for kids or weak swimmers

Fantastic wide beach. Clean sand, plenty of space. Sunsets are incredible from the beach. Due to its size, the beach never feels crowded. The sea is a little more rough than Eagle Beach but this doesn’t detract from it. Plenty of great beach bars and restaurants around this area too.

A most beautiful beach. Love the sand and water colors. The perfect atmosphere. Not many shade spots if you don’t have an umbrella.

One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen in my life. Beautiful sea and fantastic colors!

Wow, the beach here is incredible so beautiful and barely any rocks on the soft sand. Loved spending the day here

I love this place a lot! The staff are so sweet and attentive, making your day an amazing start! Not only is their service amazing, but the Dutch pancakes are incredibly delicious. They have those syrup straight from Nederland, and cinnamon sugar powder to eat with the pancakes! Amazing! Plus, they have really honest and great prices for their food! Highly recommended!

OMG!! We grab our breakfast on our way to snorkeling tour taking off De Palm Pier. How convenient!! The best pancakes ever. We got French, Picasso and Pineapple&cheese pancakes. They were delicious. Service was amazing. Ambience was great. We decided to stop by to have breakfast on our way to airport. They were that good!!

We had our first pancake breakfast in Aruba. It did not disappoint. The service was top notch with a very attentive staff. We chose the farmers pancake and it was a great breakfast choice. The fresh brewed decaf was perfect and my wife chose an iced coffee. Please try this place while you visit.

Pleasant experience. The staff was friendly and quick. Highly recommended since prices are fair and they don't take advantage of tourists like most other places on this part of the island. Breakfast was great. The Dutch pancakes were fluffy and flavorful. The portion size is enough to fill you. Overall a great experience and will be returning.

Very good redition of a Dutch Pancake. I was told i was like a crepe and indeed it was. Maybe a bit thicker with some chew to it, but very nicely done. Restaurant is located on the second floor of the building with a open air dining area and bar. Food came within 15 minutes. Business was brisk with always a few tables ready to sit down to. I had the Aruba pancake (15.50 US). It had a shot glass of poncha cream (basically egg nog with rum in a 1:2 ratio) with a large serving of full fat whipped cream. Suspecting this alone would not be enough, I also ordered a side of fruit (6.50 US). I also had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice (5.50 US) as well: it was what advertised. We were notified at the time there is a strawberry shortage, so my friend had the special of the day (pineapple caramel pancake 10.50 US) with a side of bacon (3.50 US). Bacon is deep fried to a crisp, a typical way of cooking in this island. The restaurant is located on a well traveled boulevard, I suggest you visit before 1030 if you are planning to drive in. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant. I do like this restaurant, everything was fresh and the service was quick albeit a bit pricy.

This place was conveniently located in the outdoor shopping area. The menu was a little different that what expected. There are so many pancakes to choose from. I had the farmers market and my wife had the strawberries. Based on the pancakes I would have given it 3 stars; as the pancakes are supper thin and mine did not even taste like a typical pancake. The location is great and service is great.

My first time having these huge pancakes and I absolutely loved them. I got the farmers and my friend got the strawberry. They were delicious. Of course I was a bit obsessed because my name was on the building lol. The service was great also. Definitely a must stop for breakfast.

Amazing food and amazing service! Our waitress was kind, friendly and helpful. My husband let her know it was our honeymoon and she even gave us the cutest little trinket. Food was 12/10 as was the frappe we had!

When you go to Aruba, you have to try the Dutch pancakes atleast once! We enjoyed Diana's. The food was delicious! We especially like the one with apples.

Quick and friendly service! Dutch pancakes are well-made and tasty, but we prefer ours a bit crisper. Still very good and worth your stop!

Normally our go-to for Dutch pancakes has been Linda's, however they aren't open on Sundays so we gave Diana's a try, and I'm glad we did! While there isn't a large number of tables, they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The pancakes came out great with large cut fruit toppings. They're not quite as well done as Linda's, which my kids preferred. They also offer both American and Dutch syrup as well as cinnamon and powdered sugar right on the table. Our cappuccinos were a great accompaniment as well.

We wanted to make sure we got some Dutch style pancakes before we left the island and this place hit the spot! We got seated immediately and were served super quickly. I loved sharing a sweet and savory option with my friend. They were both delicious! No frills great breakfast option.

Amazing people so warm and welcoming which most people are on the island but some are just extra kind as was the case at Diana’s pancake house , I have never tried a Dutch pancake so of course coming to Aruba it was a must , and I’m glad I came to Diana’s , I had an apple cinnamon which was tasty , very different texture than what I’m used to obviously , coffee was decent as well , if your on the island and want to try and traditional Dutch pancake , Diana’s is the way to go

We visited Diana's pancake around noon time so it wasn't very full. They were still serving Dutch pancakes. The service is very friendly and quick. Pancakes were large and delicious. Lots of options to choose from. Indoors and outdoor seating is available. Great breakfast spot. Lots of parking available on site if you'll be driving.

First time having a Dutch pancake and it was pretty good. I got the bacon, onion, and tomato pan cake and I liked it. Now they did explain it’s something like a crepe but a little thicker. They look huge when it comes out (size of a dinner plate). And the service was AMAZING, from the time we walked in, to the time we walked out. The only downfall was the side of bacon. I don’t know if it was the type of bacon they use but it had a different flavor than your traditional bacon.

Great beach for snorkeling. Clearest water in the whole island. Extra points for the free built-in umbrellas on the shore. Definitely a must-visit beach in Aruba

Phenomenal. Water is paradise. Make sure to bring water shoes as it's rocky. Well worth for snorkeling and viewing of the gorgeous sunsets

Beautiful local beach not to many

This is by far the best beach on the island. It’s not sandy, but easy to walk on without shoes… it is absolutely gorgeous, the water is so clear, and if you have snorkeling gear, this is the place to do it. It’s rocky, but you can walk into the water barefoot, just go slowly. Once you’re in, swim out past the first cliff and start swimming in the right direction, following along the cliffs edge. It’s very deep and very clear and so many fish to see. We saw a large turtle on our last visit there just a couple of days ago. Malmok Beach is by far my favorite place on the entire island. It has 4 built in to the rocks/sand umbrella tables, so if you get there first, you claim one and you’ll have some shade. It’s mostly rocky terrain, so just be prepared for that. If you have water shoes, I would recommend wearing those. But it’s not impossible to walk without them. Best time to snorkel the area is morning time. Highly recommend this beach. So glad we did. Also the perfect spot to watch the sunset.

A great place to snorkel. We stumbled upon this location while riding our bikes to the lighthouse. There were 2 pirate ships anchored just off shore and a bunch of people snorkeling. We saw a ton of different fish and 2 anchors on the bottom of the ocean. Just make sure you wear something on your feet when you go in. It is a great place to visit.

This place is just amazing. I have no words. Best place for snorkeling. Wonderful underwater life. The beach is rocky but that's okay. Water is so clear and blue. Totally recommend it!

Great place to snorkel. Beautiful water. Palapas to use. Not as busy as other nearby beaches. No toilet.

Beautiful, quiet little beach great for snorkeling (sea turtles can occasionally be seen). As some have mentioned, however, the entrance to the beach is quite rocky, so be prepared.

Great place to snorkel, swim, or watch the sunset. A little less crowded than the major beaches and the water was crystal clear.

All beaches in Aruba are beautiful and free. This happens to be a secluded spot because it's on the side road and it is an old coral reef skeleton. You will need water shoes and a plan to get back up. Its rocky and different. Water is clear and there are a lot of pelicans. There is a spot on the right side where you can walk into the water. Jumping is not recommended!

Nice place for snorkeling Saw 3 Turtles in deeper water And some fishes next to rocks and Stones

Beautiful spot to sit and chill early in the morning. Yes, it's facing East but still beautiful and the tranquility cannot be beat!

What a find! I stumbled upon this beach on a run and it completely took my breath away. The closer I got to the water, the more stunning it became. There's this massive coral skeleton that stretches across the sand, like a secret world just waiting to be explored. Snails, shells, and even live sea urchin were all nestled within it — a real-life treasure trove. It’s a side of Aruba that's off the beaten path, where nature puts on a show just for those who wander. If you're here, make the trip; it's an undiscovered gem that's worth every step.

Nice snorkeling beach not too crowded

A small, rocky beach with just enough sand to make it enjoyable. Beautiful clear water great for snorkeling. Plenty of pelicans around the day we visited!

The service makes the Hilton amazing. EVERYONE was incredibly nice and would go out of their way for you!! Location was amazing as the beach front property seemed to literally be the BEST beach that we experienced. It's big with plenty of room. Shade was available, and they would deliver food to you beach side (with a smile). Definitely recommended, and will be back one day!!!

We just love the Hilton! Everyone is friendly, helpful, kind and very attentive! We have been coming here for years, it is our favorite hotel! The grounds are just beautiful, the pools great and the beach is amazing, not to crowded like some of the other places on the island. We love seeing the same staff there for years and they are always so welcoming and happy that we are back! The location is perfect everything is in walking distance.

My family & I visited Aruba for the first time & absolutely loved this place. To begin with the entire staff is friendly and professional. They ensured we had everything we needed and were helpful. The room was gorgeous and super clean. Breakfast was great and there were so many different options to choose from. The service at the beach was great too. We were catered to from beginning to end. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Special thanks to Christopher, Sylvia, Grace, Theo, Ruga, Carlos, Cecilia and Daisy. I can continue as the list goes on. Everyone we came into contact with was professional and accommodating. The positive and helpful attitude displayed by the staff was exceptional. We will definitely return & stay at this beautiful hotel on this happy beautiful island.

I stayed with my family at the Hilton Aruba for almost two weeks and we absolutely loved this place. The resort is incredible, situated in an excellent location, with a lot of amenities, two great pools and an amazing beach and is not too crowded, which we really enjoyed. Our room was also great and always super clean. As regards the food, the resort has many different restaurants and bars to choose from and also the beach service and they are all very good. I really liked that every day there were different activities, but I would find a way to better involve customers, because sometimes these activities fade into the background. I think the service is what makes Hilton so amazing. Everyone is friendly, very kind, attentive and willing to help you whenever you need, from the moment you arrive until you leave. Among all, I want to thank Fino, Santiago Acosta, Elisha and Angele for being so incredibly caring, nice and accommodating to me and my family. Your positive attitude really helped make this experience even more wonderful. Overall, we would highly recommend this place to anyone who wishes to come and visit Aruba. Hope to come back soon!

Love the hotel, the staff are amazing, location is great and in my opinion the best part of the island. The gym is good but in my opinion, too small for the size of hotel and lacks in weight equipment other than dumbells and 1 bench. The 4 over 5 star rating is due to the food, breakfast is fine, what any buffet breakfast typically is. The lunch and dinner are below sub par, my recommendation is to eat elsewhere. I still give a 4 star because it's a hotel and not a restaurant. I would 100% stay here again.

We love the Hilton Aruba. The location is in the center of the tourist/beach area so if not needing a car is important, than this is the spot to be as it's walkable to everything in the area and there are plenty of taxis to get you into town. The beach area is lovely with many palapas and they require a reservation so you don't need to feel like there's a mad rush to get to the beach in the morning. The Beach Bites service on the beach is convenient, efficient, and super friendly. The food is delicious at all the restaurants on site. All of the staff work hard, are accommodating, and really make every person feel special. Highly recommend!

We used points for our garden view rooms. They were a good size, with a comfy chair. The noise from construction could be heard if on the balcony, but not in the room. Staff was hard working and friendly. The meals we ate at the hotel were surprisingly good for a hotel. The hotel was a highlight of the trip. We will not be returning to Aruba. We prefer beach vacations with waves in the water.

The Aruba Hilton was amazing! We had the best week, their staff was incredible in every way. They are super friendly and they make sure your experience is perfect from the moment you check in. The beach/pool bar has great food and a great atmosphere. The breakfast buffet was awesome but if you don't want a large breakfast they have a great coffee shop in the lobby with snacks and baked goods. The gift shop features upscale clothing and basically most anything you might need. We had the most amazing week in Aruba!

Arrived 10/3/22 to celebrate my 60th birthday . Everyone at the resort was very nice and helpful but Vicky from the front desk was super helpful and friendly. Vicky helped with a room upgrade and had a bottle of champagne delivered to my room the following day for my birthday. My wife surprised me with beautiful and delicious "Sunset dinner " on the beach for my birthday . The meal and the service were wonderful. The food at all the restaurants was very good ,but the food at the Sunset grill restaurant was superb. Delicious steak house. The resort is beautifully landscaped and has a gorgeous beach. Great restaurants across the street from the hotel as well.

The staff at the Laguna are the best on the island. They were so friendly and accommodating. They made me feel so special and sang for my birthday. There were so many hugs and love shown. Hector in room service was so friendly and efficient. He served me cake on my birthday. Roddy, the bartender at Gilligan's, was friendly, funny and attentive.

We visited during the start of construction and were lucky to have been upgraded to a room with a beautiful view of the resort. The construction noise was not bad at the time, we spent a lot of time off the resort exploring during the day so we were not bothered by it. Would have loved to enjoy the second pool, but we knew there would be some limitations visiting during construction. Overall, amazing stay. Would highly recommend! All the team members were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

Had a work conference there, setup was simple and nice. There were various water stations around the hall and our room. They also had a hit beverage station with assortiment of teas, coffee, etc. Only thing that would've made it the experience better is if they had enough power outlets. We had to use a computer and there were not enough, so we took turns charging our devices. We had a buffet for lunch that consisted if chicken breast, roast beef, fried rice, vegetables and salad. Top compliments to the chef. Best.Pumpkin.Soup.Ever! For the afternoon activity they opened up the ballroom, and it was very spacious for 650+ members. There were enough bathrooms close to the conference room that the ladies restroom line was constantly short. Highly recommend for events!

I thought it was a nice location and I liked the setup right on the beach! They are working on making the hotel better, but I never heard any construction noise so that was nice. Room was huge and comfortable. I liked how you have to pay for the chairs because it ensured I got one and nobody would take it! Towels were provided as well at the beach. Staff was always super kind to me. The location is amazing. Super close to everything, lots of food and shopping choices! For some improvements: I would say they should improve the room service food. I only tried it once, but it wasn’t very good. Maybe add more caribbean options! And I would say do something else with the bird cages. Maybe they could invest in bigger cage spaces. I think it would be cool if they made like an indoor bird area. I also felt bad for the birds because tons of wild birds were getting into their cages and eating their food/disturbing them. Just some thoughts! Overall great stay and I would recommend!

Amazing resort and staff, I never felt so safe. They even treated me like royalty for my birthday and have tons of great things to do on the resort and near by. You can walk around with driving anywhere. It was super inexpensive for a stay.

Nice place. Don’t let the construction scare you. It’s not really even noticeable. Plenty of beach chairs. Balcony makes a great place to watch the sunset. All the food options are good. Staff is very friendly. Really nice open lobby with lots of seating. Staff is always ready to help you get a taxi if needed. The convenience store in the lobby is well stocked with snacks, drinks and grab and go items. They make great coffee and have ice cream. Their food places are all gluten free friendly. They seem to have a lot of activities even though we did not take advantage of any of them.

We had the best time at the Hilton this past week! I had been to Aruba before and stayed at another much larger hotel (rhymes with chariot) and although my stay there was nice, I much prefer the Hilton. The quality of rooms, food, and service was up to par with the other hotel, but it's a much smaller resort so it's not nearly as crowded. We never had a problem finding a pair of chairs by the pools or on the beach, no matter the time of day. The beach at the Hilton, in my opinion, is the best along the entire stretch of high-rises on Palm Beach because it's not overcrowded with gift shops and food vendors (although, if that's your thing, both are just a quick walk down the beach--make sure you check out Eduardo's Beach Shack!). The staff were fantastic, always making sure we had what we needed for a comfortable stay and enjoyable experience. When I inevitably end up back in Aruba, I'll definitely be staying at the Hilton again!

If you are looking for a beautiful resort, clean, wonderful rooms, and ideally everything you are looking for at the beach without having to leave the resort look no further than the Hilton. But if service and dietary issues are part of what makes a good vacation I would strongly recommend not staying at the Hilton. We had a few employees who were friendly and attentive, but most seemed as if they did not really care to be there. When approaching someone it was a stark “yes” (like what do you want) versus “hi how are you?” - even when approaching with a “hello good morning” etc. Additionally upon checking out we were not asked how our stay was. It seemed as though the majority of employees were not interested in interacting with guests. Now let me be clear that this was not every person working at the Hilton. We had a lovely experience checking in, with a few beach employees, and with a server at dinner one night. But as a whole I would say most were not interested. I also have a gluten allergy and I would say the majority of staff were unaware as to what that meant and the amount of gluten free options were slim- especially at breakfast. Though they did have gluten free bread 1/5 days at breakfast and both times we ate at the Sunset Grille. Overall a 2/5 because the property is beautiful, clean, and offers a wonderful family friendly environment. Yet the staff working really did not seem interested in us and I had a hard time eating with my dietary restrictions.

SUPER friendly staff willing to help you at all times! One day I felt a little bit sick in the morning, called the front desk and the chef made me chicken noodle soup so I could feel better! how nice was that!!! I felt like a VIP! the rooms were super clean spacious! the BEACH is amazing! white sand and you can have a really fresh and delicious lunch at the hotel while at the beach! We will definitely come back!

Keep in mind it is going through from construction at the moment — nonetheless, the rooms are CLEAN which is all I can hope for with a hotel. That is my priority. They are also tasteful and the whole property is very pleasant and aesthetically pleasing. The staff is also very friendly and helpful! The food is also quality! The beach is very well maintained and I have spent the majority of my trip on their beach! Honestly, will recommend this property to friends and family who wish to come visit!

My go-to location to stay when in Aruba. Its location can't be beat. Its staff goes above and beyond to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. The beach is amazing, the biggest beach front in the area. Many palapas are available to rent. Rooms are comfortable and well maintained. Can't wait until the new building is complete. Hilton Aruba continues to strive, and I'll continue to stay here.

Loved everything about this resort. Great service from the time we arrived to the very last minute before our departure. Everyone was welcoming, concierge was great, and everyone felt like friends (definitely recommend Estelle, Maria, Alberto, and Xiomara (Maria) at Sunset Grille (the restaurant closest to the lobby) and Steve at the bar. Food was great. Drinks were great. Access to the beach was awesome. Location to activities was awesome. Everything was wonderful. Especially enjoyed how it was across the street from part of Aruba's nightlife where we had an awesome Italian dinner followed by drinks and dancing at Fat Tuesdays. I will definitely choose the Hilton again if I return to Aruba.

beautiful hotel, but needs to upgrade the rooms. They are building a brand new beautiful adult only section, but the regular hotel should look equally modern the same. Elton treizel at the front desk made my stay perfect.

Location is very good and the hotel looks decent. However, the service and staff are horrendous. Multiple negative interactions with staff that left my wife and I shocked. In addition, there are minimal activities and zero night entertainment. I would recommend if your in this price point to look elsewhere. The staff seemed angry for the most part and the hotel appears money hungry, not in the business of making guests happy or have a good time. Everything was overpriced and took forever to get. For example, I waited 10 minutes at an empty bar for a can of beer; which was $10.00!!!! No wonder the bars are empty. If you want any type of night life you must leave the hotel.

The Hilton Aruba Resort and Casino is now one of our favorite places to stay. We recently stayed for the first time (January 2024) and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is in close proximity to all sorts of restaurants and night life. It has great beachfront access and two sizeable pools. The grounds and buildings were impeccably maintained, including our room. Our room was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the housekeepers kept it perfectly clean each of the 6 days we were there. The staff-from the front desk at check in, the pool attendants, bar staff, breakfast servers, room housekeepers, and everyone else we encountered were friendly and exhibited amazing hospitality. We saw many guests returning to hugs from staff-it’s clear that the staff has been around a while and guests keep coming back. And we understand why-because we will too! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing time in Aruba.

Hotel is big but spread out, never think it is crowded. Never had a problem getting anything. Breakfast is good, food other restaurants are decent. Didn’t make it to steakhouse but heard it was good. Easy to get a location for beach. Right accross street to all the restaurants. Would stay again, main lobby for sunset is awesome.

Usually I'd wait for the trip to be over and summarize my reviews. We're currently here and it will be sad to go. For the previous reviews that mention annual return visits to the Aruba Hilton, I can understand why. There's lush gardens everywhere so it's enjoyable to stroll around. The location and especially the management and staff are just absolutely amazing and welcoming. The rooms are nothing fancy but very clean and safe. My wife and I have been to tens of other island destinations and this is absolutely top of the list. Thank you Hilton team for making our 30th anniversary a very special one.

Friendly staff with an excellent location close to beaches and nightlife. Enjoyed the generous breakfast and unlimited mimosas. Good restaurants and amazing staff, had good dinner, baby feel asleep and staff made a crib for him to be comfortable so we can have a peaceful dinner! Much applicated!

First time in Aruba. Fantastic place to stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable . The staff was helpful and accommodating. Although the resort was at full capacity it never felt crowded. Always found a spot to lounge, either at the pool or the beach. The bars, restaurants and casino were also never crowded. Great location, walking distance to shops, restaurants and bars.

Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino stands as a beacon of luxury and hospitality amidst the stunning backdrop of Aruba's pristine beaches and beautiful waters. Its reputation as a premier destination for travelers is well-earned. The resort's dedication to exceptional service sets it apart. From the moment guests arrive, they are greeted with warmth and attentiveness by the professional staff, ensuring a seamless and memorable stay. Whether it's arranging activities, dining reservations, or simply providing recommendations, the staff goes above and beyond to cater to every need. I got to come here on my Make-A-Wish; couldn't have picked a better place!

Slightly dated but a great property for families. We’ll be back. Have a signature Aqua Aloe Cocktail and check out their steakhouse for dinner. Morning buffet is pretty good. Onsite casino with a few tables and there are quite a few restaurants, bars and things to do nearby.

Palm Beach Plaza Mall, tempo di mi tempo ohm :'D This establishment has so much potential yet with high prices for rent (amongst other things), it seems that there is always a turnover of businesses at the mall until there wasn't any. It's quite sad to see what was once a lively place is now filled with mostly empty spaces for rent. I think a better management will help Palm Beach Plaza back on its feet. There are still some restaurants like Kalin's and the Italian spot (sorry forgot the name), jewelry shops. On the third floor, there's a bowling place, arcade and a cute little café known for their 🍵☕bubble tea ☕🍵. Highly recommended. I love The Hub :) There's also a c00v testing site there which is convenient for those wondering. All in all, there's not much to see or do around Palm Beach Plaza anymore but still has some things to offer :) I give it 3 stars because of what it still has and for all the good memories spending time with loved ones at this mall :D

Fun place for kids. Dream Bowl is fun and has a small arcade. Kalin's Mexican Food is a must try. Lots of vacant spaces.

We stumbled upon this so called ‘mall’ on one of our adventures. This is our first time in Aruba and exploring the island is a must. However, this place is a ghost mall. It looks like Covid took its toll. So sad as I can see the potential and, from the pictures of the past, could be a great tourist attraction once again. No pictures to post as there is nothing to see. I feel bad for any businesses that have remained. I don’t know how the property management company makes any money when more than 80% of it is vacant (and I think I’m being generous).

Because you get everything that you need in souvenirs,jewelry, specially in S.D. GIFTS AND SOUVENIRS.Very nice souvenirs, beachwear and they have local good also,just check them today and u will not regret. The place is downstair at the local 13A-B

Shopping area in Palm Beach area Aruba with great shopping, and good restaurants. Definitely worth a visit!

Nice shopping mall with plenty to see, and I'm mostly reviewing because I LOVE PUBLIC RESTROOMS!!! It was convenient, clean, and most welcome after walking a long ways on Palm Beach. I highly recommend checking out Atelier gallery for local artists work.

Beware of opening times. Most stores are open later in the day when most of the tourists are out and about. A small range of shops and a vast number of souvenir shops. Higher prices that you would expect but everything has to be imported so that is why you pay more.

Do not let the pictures fool you! This place is as dead as a doornail. If you stay long enough maybe you'll see some tumbleweed roll by! This would be a great location for a horror movie. It is completely abandoned, most stores are closed and whatever is open is boring, over priced and opens at weird times. Also has a small flea market outside with your usual tourist things that you can find at any other store and they are asking the same prices.. Do not even waste your time to go here and check it out. I decided to come look in October 2023 as last time I was in Aruba was March 2020 and I thought maybe something changed but nothing did. It was dead back then and still is. It is honestly an eye sore at this point. So much potential but no one is doing anything about it.

Everything was practically closed down. There was really nothing there to see. We paid $1 just to look around for 8 to 10 minutes. The shoe store that was open had some OUTRAGEOUS prices. Yes, the prices are high in Aruba, but the prices in that shoe store was just wrong. Lol My overall suggestion is just pay $1 for parking and further down on the strip are plenty of places for you to shop, eat, and enjoy yourself. 😉 @according2teau 👽🦄

It's dated and not a lot of stores and restaurants. It is a good location with plenty of parking. Bowling alleys and arcade on the top floor.

Alba bail salon is the best on the island. Great food you get there. Sports store UTV and Jeep rental. Mobility scooters clothing stores and many more

I can't really call this a mall. It seems like an abandoned building. Not sure how these places can stay in business. It appears to be mostly empty, some of the shops that do exist only open later in the day. Lots of For Rent signs posted.

Great place to shop and eat. But most businesses are only open a few hours in the evening. We saw an automated Christmas fountain show and thought it was done very well.

Unfortunately not really worth the trip. The walk from the resort area isn’t very nice, I’d recommend taking a car. Perhaps it would be better going at dawn or dusk but we saw better birds on our way back than we did actually there.

Initially a bit disappointed on arrival. However we appreciated the tower where we could enjoy the refreshing island winds, view of the area and especially catch the wildlife in the marsh areas. The drive to the tower is short...easy to find. Road is a mixture of dry areas and water filled pot holes. Limited parking and is free

I loved this place but, unfortunately, it was an exceptionally windy day (imagine that!!). Holding my binoculars and camera were almost impossible. Plus we stopped there in the heat of midday. Not the best circumstances. I would have loved a different experience. Maybe next time.

Some irresponsible visitors have left quite a bit of trash. Short walk to the tower from across from the Mill, but you can also drive up to the tower if you have a car. Only saw a few species. Most interesting were a pair of chickens at the base of the tower. The bantam rooster was actually very handsome.

A decent place to stop if you have some time before visiting the nearby Butterfly garden, but otherwise I wouldn't make the trek here. We saw plenty of birds elsewhere on the island, but love that they have a safe home here. We saw up close ducks down by the lake itself, but up from the tour we didn't see anything we hadn't seen before.

It’s a free outdoor public natural land area. By walking around, you can view a variety of birds, such as pelicans and local breeds. It’s nice if not crowded. Don’t expect any tour guides. There’s a rusty structure you can walk up the stairs to get a Birds Eye view. It’s a nice calm stop off. Wear footwear you don’t mind getting dirty.

A decent quick trip to see birds, lizards, and ducks. Path straight across the road from Diana’s pancakes at the old Dutch windmill. The area was clean and free of trash. The area was well maintained. The tower gives a good view. We saw a handful of birds.

If you love just watching birds do bird things you'll love it! I could have sat here for hours watching the pelicans, ducks, and even turtles! Definitely and peaceful way to spend some time away from the crowds

Very relaxing place. We have not actually seen too many birds (around 10 or so), but the sanctuary was such a peaceful and quite place, with soft sounds of water and some birds flying around. The tower is very easy to climb, and offers a nice view as well!

I loved this Sanctuary. It had so many beautiful and different butterflies. We had a guide that explained so much about butterfly habits. It was very interesting.

It doesn't seem like much at first, but if you climb the tower and keep an eye out, you'll see a variety of birds. You also get a pretty good view of the area. If you take the northern path to or from the lookout, you can see even more birds in the cove.
