| After vacationing in a few islands, this is by far my favorite. and the resort has excellent staff, very attentive to our needs. Some of the restaurants you need to make reservations, and the menus are very limited but if you ask the waiters will go all out to make sure they please you. The resort staff and basically the island residents are by far the nicest, friendliest people I've ever seen in my life. It is walking distance to alot of restaurants and shops and movie theater and few minutes by car/taxi or bus to downtown. Will definitely go back. |

| when we first arrived they overbooked our room but the staff was very helpful and upgraded us to a junior suite for our full stay of 5nights. Food was excellent concidering it is all inclusive lots of choices and was very tasty. Make sure you set your reservations when you arrive at hotel because line could get lengthy if you procrastinate. Hotel room was very clean and very modern. Hotel is walking distance to shopping center, movies, and great restaurants. Wish we stayed longer to do more of the activities that are available. Definitely recommend for anyone to stay at!!!! Definitly wil go back again. |

| My wife and I went to Aruba for one of her coworkers wedding, and we had a blast even though we were only there four days. We went snorkeling, and horse back riding. There were also a lot of activities at the hotel, and nothing beats all inclusive -- but the staff are so nice and accommodating and helpful, that you'll want to tip them. |

| The food was decent, and the hotel was clean. I would recommend to others but might not stay again only because we mostly ate at the hotel being all-inclusive. Ate 1 night out and the food was great there as well, and wished we could have tried more restaurants. The beach and pool were nice. The fitness room, if you want to call it that, was very small. There were also annoying employees paid to hand out flyers about time shares all over the hotel, inside and out. I would get asked several times a day by different people. It got to be very annoying. Also another complaint might be no free internet access. Being all-inclusive this should be free. All in all, above average. |
