“Definitely getting better”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

We have been going to the Mill for the last 11 years and have watched an ebb and flow of this resort. It was "the hot spot" 11 years ago, but then it faded because it became dated and the staff and management had a vision for the resort that was not attainable....(you can't make a 5 star resort from a 3 star without MAJOR changes). Very fortunately, the owner became involved and started a total remodelling and renovation project of the resort. What we have seen of this renovation is spectacular and should put the Mill back on the map as one of the most affordable, nicest resorts in Aruba.

Room Tip: Ask for a renovated room, they are far more sound proofed and luxurious.

“Quite a good hotel with some shortcomings and flaws.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 2, 2012

I stayed there for 7 nights in March 2011. Overall, my impression is good. I did not like only a few things. First, you have to wear a yellow badge saying Mills Resort all the time, I used to throw it away, because it is uncomfortable to wear it to the meetings I attended and even sleep with that. When the hotel staff did not see it on me, they would ask my identification and bring me a new badge every time I did not wear it. So I did not like that practice. Then there is no Internet in the rooms, you have to go to the reception hall where you can have a Wifi. The breakfast was all the same. I did not like it, they always serve bacon and sausages, which I do not eat. I always had the fruits and juices which are best parts of the breakfast. Then I had a problem with the deposit I paid them from my card, they blocked 100 USD as a deposit for several months, fortunately I got it back. But I should say that my stay was really good, the minor flaws I mentioned did not make my trip unpleasant.

“Great location, reasonable rates, spacious rooms - staff were less than friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 19, 2012 via mobile

Nice location opposite the Westin in Palm Beach- easy beach access across road- nice quiet end of the beach. Rooms were clean, spacious- pool was nice size. Only negative was that front desk staff were relatively unfriendly. Good choice for the money.

“Perfect place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 27, 2012

It is definitely one of the best hotels I have seen. Couples seem to be the target guests, there were many honeymooners around. The famous Palm Beach is not as near the hotel as one might wish for, however, it is not a serious problem – many guests rent a car to get around. The truth is that the touristic zone is located merely 1 kilometre away from the hotel. Honestly, it’s a 10-minute walk. The island is beautiful and there are things to do there, although it won’t probably be the most exciting holiday of your life.
The suite we stayed in was excellent – super-clean, comfortable and made us feel at home away from home.

“Perfect place to be if you don't plan to spend any time in the hotel.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 9, 2012

The Mills is a cute two-story resort with a great atmosphere and has a great location. The rooms are clean and come with a kitchen, mini fridge, safe, iron & iron board. There's also a hair dryer in the bathroom.
There's the option of a la cart of buffet breakfast that may or may not be included in your price. The breakfast rivals some higher priced hotels and the price is reasonable. (buffet is about $15 per person) The pool is clean, warm and well maintained.
However, please note, DO NOT dispose of toilet paper into the toilet, because it will block the toilet. This happened to us twice before the front office staff advised us of this. There was another patron at the desk complaining of the same when I went to complain. Also, the wi-fi is prepaid and there were constant interruptions to the service. We paid for a 24 hour connection and managed to use only about 5 hours worth of service. Don't waste your money! Find a hot-spot!! Each day I've called to ask for four washcloths and each day they only brought two at a time. There're four people in the room so why give me two washcloths??
Overall, three stars because of the bad internet connection and bathroom issues. There are also some refurbishings needed in the room. The AC was set on 50 degrees when we arrived.

Room Tip: Rooms further away from the pool are quieter because of the nightlife by the pool.
