If you want to be away from the crowded tourist area in Aruba, this hotel is the place to stay. It is quite near the airport and towncenter. The beach is across the road. It is an area where you get to meet and mix with the friendly local population. The rates are very cheap and good value for money.... more

We had 6 nights at the Talk of the Town and after about 4 hours there we knew we could not stand this place. I have read a lot of reviews and I am always careful twhen I read a bad review. Some people are too snobby and want everything to be absolutely perfect in all areas or they give... more

Stayed here in November 2009. $113. for the night with breakfast after I missed my flight. Wished I had just stayed in the airport. Not possible any sane person could leave a real review of this hotel not stating how disgusting it is. Walked into the hotel already knew something might be wrong. Asked the front desk if the rooms... more

I had stayed in talk of the town several times, the rooms are old, sometimes not clean, the food it's ok. the service it's awful, the value too high for what it is. The most horrible experience, that's how i described the last visit after being rudly mistreated by the people at the counter, let me be clear, it's true... more

The lobby was charming. The people were wonderful. The rooms clean. The staff terrific. When we got to the hotel, I loved the quaint lobby which is open to the bar/restaurant and the pool. Request a room overlooking the pool. More quiet (traffic noise and plane noise). It is "close" to the airport. I didn't realize how close until we... more

nothing fancy, but a wonderful experience. international clientele adds a nice flavor too. small but convenient so you can roll out of bed and into the pool (get a superior room, they front the pool) or walk a couple hundred yards to a pretty basic beach. breakfast included which is nothing special but served right by the pool area. the... more

I booked this place because it was convenient to the See, Fly & Dive dive shop across the road. It's a very comfortable and clean place with very friendly staff. The room decor and shower fittings seem to date from the 1980s but the place is well maintained. There's a nice pool around which all the rooms are built. Unlike... more

We loved the hotel and would go to Talk of the Town again and again. It is a relaxing place where you can lay by the pool, sit by the bar and enjoy light meals outside. We wished we had planned a longer stay. The employees are very friendly and helpful, too. The hotel is not a luxury hotel but... more

What a dump!

I'm not sure if there are two Talk of the Town beach resorts in Aruba but we made reservations at the one just outside the airport. The pictures on the website must have been taken 20 years ago! We only booked one night because our timeshare began on Saturday and we got a great deal on a flight so we... more

We just spent a week at the Talk of the Town in Aruba. Usually we stay at the Casa Del Mar with timeshare, so keep in mind that may bias my review. Instead of booking on-line, I thought it would be better to call the hotel. It was a last minute trip planned so I called on the Wednesday night... more
