    Great location!!

    Location is great! Staff is extremely friendly! We dined at the Sea Breaze, Agave, Corals, and the Ocean Bar. The waiters/waitresses were very friendly and constantly filled our empty water glasses. They were very hard working! Checking in and out was good! Staff was informative . Only downside is the size of the rooms/bathrooms! Traveling with a family was a challenge. Overall, my experience at the HI was good! I recommend as the location to most shops and restaurants are within walking distance!

    1st time

    Best staff, amazing people, great service. Kyle is the best helping us with luggage along with taxi services. Nos made our checkout so fast and easy. Everyone who was on the premises was very nice and able to assist us with whatever concerns we had. Our room had an ocean view which showed the sunset every night in the most perfect spot

    Wonderful experience at the Holiday Inn Aruba

    This is a great resort. We did the all inclusive package. The food is excellent! The beach and pools are great. The best part is the staff! They really care and smile all the time! They are so warm and friendly! I have to single out Joshwina who by the third day was serving me my usual coffee exactly as I like it without me having to ask her of coarse with big wonderful smile!
