“Luxurious hotel and resort ...will be back!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

My boyfriend and I went here in March of 2012. Needed a break from the cold winter in Toronto.
We read the reviews about this hotel which were very positive. We were not disappointed! It was amazing. The hotel is close to the airport, downtown on top of a shopping centre (expensive stores but fun to look around), has a casino, it's own private island to go swimming...the list goes on.
WE loved going to the beach everyday, either the private island or the beach in front of the hotel. You were waited on for lunch and drinks which I thought was awesome. The food was delicious and we totally got our money's worth doing the all inclusive. I highly recommend it!

our room was nice, bed was comfortable. Not fancy but who cares, we are there for the sun, beer, food and beach.

This was a unique hotel because they separate the adults only hotel and the family hotel. Our hotel, adults only, does not have it's own beach but the family one does and of course there is always the private island. I thought this would bother me but it didn't.

The beach and ocean are beautiful and the weather was amazing.
I'm looking forward to going back, except this time we will bring our baby :)

Room Tip: Try to get a room that faces the outside of the hotel, some rooms face the inside of the hotel.

“Fun 24/7”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

I loved the fact that there was a private island. There were 2 pools 1 beach and 2 parts of a private island (adult exclusive and familly freindly), tons of drinks to choose from about 4 restaurants and some pretty nice rooms and an awsome location (2 steps away from most of the restaurants) .
I'd like to thank Andrey at L.G. Smith's steak and chop house for his great service

Room Tip: 1st or 2nd floor are the best beacauseyou don't have to wait for the elevator 2 minutes you can...

“great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

We've been going to this resort for the past three years! We stay at the Marina tower and LOVE it!! The service is great and the hotel is very clean! Rooms could use a little updating though.
The bartenders ( Raffie and Ally) are awesome. They seem to have remembered us. We do and would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Private island is great!
See you next year!!!!

“Amazing food, amazing island!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013 via mobile

My girlfriend and myself went for a trip here in January of this year. The staff was very friendly and were always smiling and making us feel at home. It also appeared that they were almost overstuffed during much of our stay which was great because for how busy some of the restaurants got they handled the capacity just nicely.

We had the All Inclusive option which was terrific.. We got to eat at all of the restaurants at the resort and it was an easy swipe of our card at the end of each meal to have the tab covered.

My only complaint about this resort is that the only beer they include with the All Inclusive is Balashi and Balashi Chill. These are both local beers brewed in Aruba which I enjoyed the taste of however I found that it was contributing to me having indigestion most days. It is an option to purchase Coors Light among other beers at this resort, I just feel they should be included with the AI. Any other drink you can imagine is on the menu!

The island is AMAZING. It's a place everyone should get the chance to see!

There's so much this resort has to offer in terms of food variety, drinks and plenty of scenery to walk around and explore. This was a big thing for us as we wanted more than to just sit around every day on the beach. We just simply had a great time :)

“Convenient”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013

Hotel is in a convenient location to downtown. The private island is what drew us to the hotel and the downtown area kept us there: convenient shopping and plenty of restaurants. The hotel is in dire need of a renovation; but the staff are friendly and the service was fast. The lobby/bar was fun; bring bug spray for the mosquitos. Great view from the pool, which overlooks the marina and the lobby/bar.

Make use of the De Palm Booking staff in the lobby - book your trips early to ensure you get in.

Room Tip: Pay extra for the Ocean View - beautiful view.
