My husband and I were a little wary at staying at what looked like an already dated timeshare resort on the website, but we were excited anyway and looking forward to celebrating our 1st anniversary. We got there and spent 30 mins checking in because the young lady at the front desk didn't understand English well and couldn't answer any of our questions. That wasn't so bad--but it was the first of many ordeals with a front desk staff that pretends to never understand you at a resort where most if not many of the guests are American.

They stuck us in a dated and mildewy room with mold growing on the lampshades and when we complained, we were told to wait a few days. When we complained directly at the front desk the only lady that could understand us sent people to the room without telling us and while we were talking to her. I understood what she was saying and sent my husband to the room to check. He said by time he got there someone had changed the lampshades and they had the door open and the A/C on full blast to air the room out. Meanwhile, the lady told me the room smelled fine to the staff.

Then that night we stopped to ask the front desk to recommend a restaurant. The guy told us about one 2 miles up the road, but when we stepped out the hotel there were signs for at least 5 restaurants a few feet away.

Later on we asked for washcloths, because the staff didn't give us any for 2 days and again no one understood us. Check out took at least an hour because of the long line and everyone was so irate at how slow the front desk was. I have never seen anything like this...

But all in all we had a fabulous time and found ways around the front desk. We just used the services of the adjoining hotel and hotels next door. That's the key!

This was my first time to Aruba and it won't be my last! Now I now why people return year after year, it's a totally relaxing vacation spot. The ABC as they call it, is clean, comfortable and casual. Coverups and flip flops are "dressed". This is a place where you can literally wear your bathing suit only from your room to the beach to the outdoor restaurant and bar. The beach is a quick and easy stroll from your room. No fancy lobby to walk through...it's just that easy. The ocean water was like bath water and the beach is beautiful. People get up very early, like before 6:00am to stake out "Chickies" umbrella huts on the beach. These are the time share people in the know who come year after year. We had no problem finding one later in the morning however. You really can't hang out in the Aruba sun very long without some shade.
I found my room to be very clean and all the food we ate at the resort was very good. Happy hour during the day is fun but the place is very very quiet at night, and by night I mean after 6:00pm!
We had dinner at El Gaucho's, The French Steakhouse and Madame Jeannetts. All good, but nothing extra special to rave about. I've been told I'm too picky when it comes to my restaurant reviews.
Unless you like to gamble, there's not much else to do in my opinion, but I don't do much more than lounge, read and eat on any vacation anyway. Bottom line, is I can't wait to go back!

It seems wherever we go in the Caribbean, we end up comparing it to the Aruba Beach Club. If you're looking to roll out of bed, and onto a beautiful beach, then this is the no-hassle vacation resort for you. Every room has a view of the ocean, some you can even walk out of onto the beach!

Believe me, after our latest vacation at some bloated Mexico mega-resort, where we had to take 2 shuttles to the "beach" a half a mile away, I am dying to go back to the ABC where everything is so convenient and beautiful. Certainly, there is not a lot of excitement here, but if that's what makes for a good vacation for you, try one of the high-rise resorts.

Just returned from a weeks vacation at the Aruba Beach Club. This was our 4th time staying in the Low Rise area but the 1st time at ABC.

The property was kept very clean and the beach is, as it always is in that area ,beautiful. They have alot of huts on the beach but in my opinion they are way to close together. Most of them are in need of new roofing, and if not careful you can get burned just sitting under them. If you have plans on getting one of these huts for the day let me tell you, you had better set your clock really early, these timeshare owners are experts at staking their claim. Apparently, if just one towel is placed on a chair under a hut everything under that hut has been claimed, so it is hands off even though you may not see anyone for about 3 hours.

The room was nice. It was on the ground floor and a really nice part is that you can use your key card to access your room from the patio. It was just a studio with 2 beds, full size refridgerator, microwave, and a 4 burner cook-top, no oven. Everything that you could possibly need to cook a meal is available in the room which is nice. The housekeeping staff always kept the room clean and stocked with fresh towels.

We only ate breakfast a few times at the restaurant on the property . What we had was good and reasonably priced. They had entertainment at the resort but it was mostly for generations gone by. It is definitely an older crown at the Aruba Beach Club but thats what keeps things low key and quiet.
