We were at the Occidental from May 12 to the 17th with another couple. We had a fantastic time. The drinks and Restaurants did not disappoint. Our room had a pool and ocean view which was beautiful to look at and great to have a balcony to relax on before dinner. The beach is gorgeous and we had perfect weather.... More

My husband and I have been vacationing at the Occidental since before their renovations. This year was our best ever. We renewed our wedding vows on the beach under a palapa. Resty and Dale made sure this was exactly the experience we were looking for as well as arranging for exceptional dining experiences throughout our stay. The staff at the... More

This was our 2nd trip to Aruba. We love how safe the island is and the perfect weather. We didn’t love this resort. There were positives and negatives. We were greeted with cool towels and rum punch upon check-in. Our room was upgraded due to a mistake in our reservation—this was extremely nice. The people that work at the hotel... More

We went to the Occidental Grand Aruba for a late honeymoon, and were totally satisfied with our choice. The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating, and also threw in a surprise bottle of champagne since it was our honeymoon. There are plenty of choices for your meals, our particular favorite being Zen, the Asian restaurant where we were seated... More

Resort is in a great area, but the service was just horrible. They are the masters of no eye contact with people waiting at the front desk. Asked for fresh towels, and they claimed they ran out. Rooms are minimal and not in great condition. Need bathroom repair, paint, etc. The food was ok, but we were unable to get... More

Super location on Palm Beach. Pool is wonderful and the staff are great. Rooms not that fantastic but used for changing and sleeping. The Ala-cart restaurants did not disappoint. The buffet was great always for breakfast and lunch. Japanese and Italian venues were fantastic.
