GGuest UserThe hotel was good for the price we paid. The rooms had been updated, the air conditioning worked great. The overall cleanliness was good. Our friends did have an issue as it didn’t appear their room was cleaned upon arrival. They didn’t make a fuss. The pool area (bar) needs to be updated as it looked like it was rusted.
The staff was super nice and very helpful with recommendations. The hotel was located in a great location and it was 1 block from the beach. If traveling with friends and looking for a good hotel for a good value - I would recommend.
GGuest UserWe were aware that there would be construction around the hotel while Hilton expands, and for the most part it wasn’t an issue. The disappointment was that only one of two pools was open, meaning that sometimes it was hard to find seating around the pool area.
Beach loungers were easy to book and a selection of them were free each day. Palm beach is really beautiful and it was nice to have it so accessible to the hotel.
On the whole, service at the hotel was great, there were a couple of staff members who were potentially having a bad day but generally Aruban’s are extremely friendly. Violet, was in charge of cleaning our room throughout our stay and she was just lovely!
Although not the hotel’s fault, I was told at Che k-in that there was an extra resort charge each day. Trip.com said there would be a small government tax. But mentioned nothing about the resort fee. The government tax was also more than trip.com stated on our booking confirmation.
JJeampolThe hotel's redeeming features are the variety of food, the beach, the activities they schedule, and the good service, except for the reception supervisor who was awful. The negative side is that the hotel is not big, unlike other Rius hotels. When it comes to check-out, they make sure you leave the facilities before 7:00 p.m., and unlike other resorts where I stayed on my name day, I don't receive any details except for a letter telling me to leave the room at the appropriate time. This is definitely not recommended, as there is no relationship between the price you pay and the service you receive.
