  Happy with it

  we were overall happy with our stay! We went in unsure with it being an all inclusive (because typically we don’t like the food at all inclusives), but were pleasantly surprised. It was of good quality and taste, and there were a variety of restaurants and flavors. Booking reservations wasn’t easy for our large family of 6, but the concierge helped. The rooms were basic, but generally clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were very tight. It was nice to be able to use the sister resort Divi, because the water on the beach at Tamarijn is not great. There are a lot of slimy, sandbags and rocks, seaweed and pipes. It is always murky as well. But it is very beautiful at Divi. We loved the long boardwalk along and between both resorts. The coffee machine in the lobby was decent and the gift shop had any essentials you might need. The pool chairs looked nice and padded, but we used the beach, and those chairs were just basic. The beach also could’ve been better kept with raking ( there were cigar butts and cigarette butts which were never cleaned until I did so myself after several days of seeing them and my toddlers picking them up). It’s missing a few other luxuries like quality pillows & room service, but overall a good value for the price and a nice resort. One thing to know about Aruba itself is how windy it is. We were not aware of this until we came (but could be assumed based on their national tree shaped by the wind). It was annoying at times, especially being on the beach with the fine sand pelting you in the eyes. I’m not sure I would return for this reason as I’ve heard it is very windy all year round. You can’t hold a sun hat on and it just got to be very annoying. That’s the only negative. I could find about the place though. It otherwise is beautiful, clean safe and lovely.

  Best Vacation Ever!

  Visiting Aruba has been on our list for a long time and Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive was the resort for us. The resort is in the low rise district, so it is a step away from the bustling night life. The quiet atmosphere was perfect for us. The service was wonderful! You felt like an honored guest the whole week. We requested a room in the buildings 1900-2500 in order to have a sand beach. It was like a dream to step out of our room in the morning and have the ocean 30 yards from our door. The trade off is that you have a longer walk to the main area where the pool and restaurants are located. From building 2500, my pedometer clocked it at 0.3 mile one way. After all we ate, we viewed it as a forced exercise program. If this is too much walking, you can call for a shuttle at any time and they will pick you up. The food was plentiful and delicious. There is a buffet available for breakfast and lunch and dinner buffet at Divi which you also have access to. We ate a large breakfast and then got a snack at the bar gill for lunch. We made dinner reservations for each night and enjoyed the different restaurants. The evening shows around the pool (we saw two of them) were good but I wish there was more seating. If you didn't get a pool lounge chair you had to stand or sit on the pool deck. The activities center has snorkel equipment, pool floats, and e-bikes to borrow but you should arrive before they open if you want something specific. The snorkel equipment went fast! We also went on the e-bike and snorkel tour. This was fantastic, but truly exhausting! Don't try if if you don't have a reasonable level of fitness. Tamarijn Aruba is the first place that we both want to return to. It was the perfect place for us.

  Just awesome!!!!

  The resort and employees were spectacular! From Rishma at the front desk, to Rossana, the cook at the pool bar, these people worked hard and had the greatest attitudes! Everyone was helpful, thoughtful while still hard working. Our 2nd trip here and Rishma was able to give us the same room we had 6 years ago! She also was able to retrieve my wife's jacket from the airport bus that she left on it with her phone charger in the pocket. Again, awesome resort and awesome people working there!!

  Great Place for Families and Beach Access

  My husband and I stayed at the all-inclusive resort- Tamarijn- for about 3 nights/4 days. We absolutely loved our room- with its beach access and amenities- however, our room was a little dirty/not as updated as we expected. We were confused on how the all inclusive thing worked, but thought it was great that they offer an orientation to help people understand (although we missed it). We enjoy the food and activities offered; but definitely felt that the ambience was more lively/energetic than we thought. In other words, this would be a great place for big parties (i.e. families, friend groups) than just the two of us. We also liked that they had shuttle services and a variety of excursion/activities to do and try! While we would have picked a more relaxing/romantic resort to celebrate our honeymoon, we would definitely come back with friends or family in the future!
