This was my 2nd time to this resort and I still love it. It doesn't have all the amenities that the other resorts may have but it doesn't carry their price tag either. My mom and I went for our first "mother/daughter" vacation and they treated us like royalty. Many complain about the food...which we found to be awesome in the 2 restaurants, and even the beach grill was great.....but they continue to be repeat customers...go figure!!! This is on prime beachfront, they have renovated the Aruba and Curacao towers so the rooms were clean and fresh and the beds extremely comfortable. Would I return....absolutely and plan to.

We had yet another awesome vacation with our friends at the Holiday Inn. From the check-in to check-out, each and every employee at the hotel made us feel at home, as they always have in the past.

As I've always stated, the Holiday Inn Resort is a lovely hotel, catering to all kinds of people and groups. There's nothing ostentatious about the hotel, the grounds or the accommodations, yet they offer everything one needs to have a very special, enjoyable vacation. You don't pay Hyatt prices, so don't expect Hyatt accommodations. The rooms are clean, the grounds are well maintained, the location is unsurpassed and the staff is friendly and most accommodating!!!!There's not a hotel in the world where you'll get more attention to every detail and more personalized service.

The staff at the Holiday Inn Resort Aruba is awesome. From top management to the maids and everyone in between, they could not be more welcoming or accommodating.
Our recent three weeks with you wasn't enough. We're already looking forward to stay # 30, within the next few months, at the amazing Holiday Inn Resort, Aruba.

Thank you ... thank you ... thank you Holiday Inn Resort, Aruba. :) :) :)

Get an oceanfront room. Easy walk to anything you need. Make sure to reserve your beach spot at 4:00 pm the day before! Also if you get to the room and the air conditioning seems not to work then make sure it is plugged in.

My boyfriend and I stayed here the end of August in 2009 for a week. It was our first time out of the country and this was definitely a trip we will never forget. The first day we got there it rained, which worried us, but everyone told us that the rain "only lasts 15 minutes". It stopped raining that night, the rest of the week we had sunny skies. We got All Inclusive and usually had lunch at the bar outside. Food wasn't bad. The location of the hotel was perfect. Right across the street there were many shops and restaurants. Twice we ate at the Brazilian Steak House (I forget the name) and it was absolutely delicious. We planned a few activities towards the end of our trip. Right by the lobby is a desk where you can schedule things. For our ATV trip, a bus came to pick us up at the hotel. There was a dock down the beach where we were picked up to go snorkeling and for our sunset dinner cruise, which was very convenient. I'd love to go back to Aruba and even stay at the same hotel mostly because of the great location. There's always something to do!
