“Perfect vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

For one week my family had a wonderful vacation. The Playa Linda is a family friendly resort with a competant and friendly staff. The grounds, pools and units are very well cared for. If you want a perfect vacation this is the place to stay!
Close to the resort are restaurants and shopping and the beach is absolutely pristine.

Room Tip: Choose a 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom unit with a pool and ocean view. The ground floor is great for fami...

“Good option on Palm Beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

We spent a week on Druif beach then a week at Playa Linda on Palm Beach. This beach is louder with more going on. If you are looking for tranquility don't stay up on Palm Beach! But having said that we loved our room at the Playa Linda. 509 has a double sized balcony so we lounged and read and soaked up the sun away from the crowds.

Room Tip: Owe were on the "inside" closer to the pool. I would look for an outside room next time to...

“We will stop coming only when this property closes- LOVE IT!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

I have been coming to PLBR for over 10 years with my family and this was the 3rd year that my husband and I have come together. This resort keeps getting better. With recent unit renovations, property upgrades and restaurant changes, this resort never gets old. It's like coming home every year-- regardless of time of year, staff remembers you, the beach is always lovely and relaxation/decompression abounds. Even if you stay outside of your regular 'week', people are always friendly & welcoming.
Room renovations were just upgrading & modernization but great to see. The way the property is built, every unit has a view of something nice to look at AND the bedrooms do not line up with your neighbor-- no crying babies in the middle of the night, night owl neighbors coming home or anything else that you can hear.
New additions include a beach restaurant on the western side of the property, Carlito's Beach Bar (where the bocce courts used to be), a new grill on the eastern side of the property- Scotts Brats (TRY IT!! you won't be disappointed!) and beach waitstaff from 12-6. There is also a Carlito's bar annex near the convenience shop in the lobby.
As the title of the review states, we will only stop coming when this property closes. We won't stay anywhere else in Aruba.

“Great place to spend a vacation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

Have been going to PlayaLinda Beach Resort for more than 20 years! This is a time-share property, but units (studios, one bedroom and two bedroom units, as well as three bedroom townhouses, all on the beach) are available for rent through the PlayaLinda Beach Resort bulletin website: www.playalinda.com
The staff is VERY friendly and helpful ... having been there so many years, I am treated like an returning friend ... as is everyone!
First, this island is so safe ... it is not a poverty-driven island ... a single woman can feel safe returning from casinos late without problems. The beach is wonderful, especially at PlayaLinda, and the units are very well maintained. I stay in a one bedroom overlooking the Caribbean ... beautiful sunsets from my balcony!
The one bedroom unit has a fullly equipped kitchen with serving equipment for five people. The living room has a daybed (very comfortable) and a sleeper sofa. The bedroom has a queen-sized bed. You can walk to everything from PlayaLinda which is located on Palm Beach, between the Hyatt and Holiday Inn hotels. There are at least five casinos in walking distance, tons of great places to eat and a mall for shopping.
PlayaLinda has a a number of eating facilities on premises: Azzurro's - a beautiful open-air restaurant (once used for the World Poker Championship), three beach places for burgers, wings, etc., a new facility on the beach - Scott's Brats - just opened and doing a great breakfast/lunch business, and Dunkin'Donuts and Baskin Robins. Staying for three weeks, I had no use or need to drive ... This is a GREAT PLACE!!
