Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

Great service, plenty of amenities, close enough to shopping area and restaurants. Plenty of beach and pool chairs.

We are Marriott loyalist who always stay at Marriott so we know the brand standard. We chose stay at this hotel because they recently renovated the hotel. The renovations are almost complete and we didn’t hear any construction during our time there. They had better food options at the ocean club and the surf club next-door so it’s worth checking out because you can charge your room at these resorts. Pro: newly renovated, comfortable bed, premium linens, large bathroom and shower, gave nice upgrade to platinum Bonvoy members (booked a garden view and got an ocean view) Cons: shower pressure is weak on main shower head but sprayer is strong and the shower door is too short and not long enough to capture all the water, the service is inconsistent earlier during the week. They didn’t do an automatic turn down service but later in the week they did. You only get free continental breakfast or pay $15 surcharge for full buffet with the Platinum membership. Staff: special thanks to Glenn at check-in. He was able to reserve a palapa for the next day, which usually requires reservations the day before. During check-in, he was friendly and knowledgeable about the resort. He truly wanted to make our stay special while we were there. Other than Glenn, everyone else at the property gave lack luster service. They are better off just having tablets to order food and drinks at the pool/beach. Food: The buffet has shrunk over the years. The taste was not exceptional just status quo. The menus at the pool/beach have changed for the worse, everything seems basic and over priced. You are better off eating diner offsite. Overall, the service at the hotel has dropped drastically post pandemic. We used to visit the hotel every year since 2012. The renovation is beautiful but the lack of platinum benefits and bad service not sure if we will return.

Head straight to the front desk upon check in and look for Candy! Candy welcomed us to the island, as if we were returning home. Our room was (booked) Ocean view, she was so pleasant it set the trend for our stay at this property. Once here and checked in with enjoyed a no wrist band type of relaxation. This property is between the Ritz and timeshares. The beach is beautiful and it’s relaxing.

This is the perfect place if you're looking to enjoy both a beautiful beach setting and a lively nightlife scene. Everything is conveniently located, with a shopping center just a short walk away offering a great variety of restaurants and dining options. The Marriott itself is fun, clean, and comfortable, with an amazing staff that truly makes you feel welcome. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond, greeting us with a refreshing cocktail and helping us plan excursions that let us experience Aruba in a way that was both relaxing and adventurous. Their warm hospitality made our stay even more memorable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. A special thank you to Zuneida, Chanyn, and Victor for their exceptional hospitality. They made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived and went out of their way to ensure everything was taken care of throughout our stay. Their kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to help made our vacation completely stress-free and even more enjoyable.

Just spent 5 days enjoying this fabulous resort! First off, trade-wind package IS A MUST! Food was excellent as was the service everywhere on this resort. Room was always super clean and staff were so friendly and very accommodating everywhere on the property. Reserved a palapa on the beach every day which was so nice and relaxing. Pool was clean and the report and beach were gorgeous! Overall it was an excellent vacation and we will come back and stay here again. Why not 5 stars? The bed and linens were not up to the usual Marriott quality we have experienced elsewhere. The bed was hard and pillows were flat and so bad. Bed linens were not soft. Next time I will have to bring my own pillows. For the price, I expected better bedding, however, don’t let this deter you as we will return and highly recommend this resort!!!

Our 40th wedding anniversary stay at the Marriott stellaris was amazing, beautiful ocean view and comfortable accommodation, the property is well maintained and the staff was very welcoming and helpful , the location has a lot to offer , palm beach is beautiful and has many options for dinner and night life , the excursion are near by and a must, especially the pirate sunset cruise , what a party , great staff and a nice group from all over ,met some really kind honeymooners and partied after with cigars and drinks by the beach , our only let down was the ocean floor at the Marriott location was slimy and there was a found odor appt from accumulated seaweed near an inlet , we had to walk 15 to 20 min near Riu resort to enjoy the ocean aside from that the pool was pleasant with a DJ and swim up bar , good service, people were friendly and always had a spot to relax ,

Nice hotel room but Overpriced.A hotel should charge 36 dollars for a buffet that includes fake eggs. A 4.5 star hotel does not sell fake eggs. This is more like a comfort suites

We just arrived at our favorite place in all The Caribbean. We have been her a few times before and are Lifetime Platinum Elite. We called ahead and spoke with our favorite concierge staff member. We were assured we had an amazing room reserved , however our room faces the adult pool and we won’t get to see the gorgeous sunsets without leaving our room. It’s been a couple years since we have been here and we called “xyz” a few times over the past month to square things up. We didn’t receive the warm feel as we did in previous visits. They also moved the Tradewinds lounge to the lobby which is a major inconvenience. Was so nice to just walk around the corner from your room to grab water / fruit ect. Let’s see how the week goes and I will report back if things have changed for the better or worse.

Very nice pool area and beach area. Attentive front desk agents. The excursion desk agents are top notch and they definitely made our stay on the island much more worth it. The swim up bar was great for happy hour.
