I have owned a timeshare at Playa Linda for many years and I have always been satisfied with my stay. My reason for writing a review is that I have noticed several comments on the construction that is currently occuring. As an owner, I recieve a monthly newsletter that contains current events at Playa Linda. The construction may be a... more

RCI says this is a 5-star equivalent, but it is at best a 3-star. They are undergoing some updates, furniture replacements, etc. Very much a timeshare location, moreso than a resort. The complex is a bit long in the tooth. Beach is fabulous, as is true for most of Aruba. One relatively small pool, compared with the large multiple pools... more

We stayed at the Playa Linda for 6 days. We rented directly from a time share owner to get a decent deal ($700 for 6 nights). The check-in went smoothly. The place is surrounded by swankier hotels and feels a little shabby by comparison. We also stayed at the La Cabana resort earlier in our stay as well as at... more

We just got back from 7 days in Aruba. Aruba was great - clean, safe, great white sand beaches and adorable "chickees" (beach umbrellas made of palm branches) Playa Linda is in the high-rise area and is probably the best location. It is on the bus routet and ten minutes to downtown. (The bus costs $1.20 American.) Smoky Joes is... more

We just returned from our stay at Playa Linda and had a wonderful time! The room was clean and well stocked with towels, extra pillows and blankets. The furnishings were fine and the A/C worked great. Our room was on the 5th floor with a pool and ocean view. The wireless internet connection was spotty, but useable. The pool and... more

We stayed at the Playa Linda during the week of 9/23/07 and it was nice, but they were doing construction on the lobby and entrance way. We stayed in room 621 which is an one bedroom unit with an absolute beautiful view from the balcony and window. The kitchen was a saving grace for us as we went to Ling... more

Playa Linda is an average place to stay. Definately not a five star. The pool is very nice, but small. Zero depth is great for little children. The rooms are average and fairly clean, but are outdated. One night when we came back after dinner, we noticed a foul smell by the kitchen area. We could not figure out what... more

We booked our 1-week stay through an owner. Not knowing what exactly to expect (stayed at the Westin during 1st visit)), we arrived with an open mind. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They keep a large "book" of menus from the better restaurants at the front desk and are willing to call restaurant for you to make reservations. Check-in... more
