We decided to book this hotel last minute on Marriott points for a quick getaway. Overall, I’d say this is a good option although I don’t know what the dollar rate is per night. The hotel has a good location if you want to be within walking distance of the Palm Beach restaurants and shops. Although this restaurant is not directly on the beach, it is just behind the two large Riuresorts and there is a golf cart shuttle that will transport guests to a small beach area that is dedicated for courtyard Marriott guests, with beach chairs at no charge. Because there is no actual building for the Courtyard on the beach. There is no restroom facility to use. To use a restroom you can walk down the beach a bit to a bar that will allow you to use their restaurant restroom for a dollar. The spot that is dedicated for the courtyard Marriott on Palm Beach is not very impressive in my opinion. Perhaps this is because a few years earlier when we came to Aruba, we stayed on Eagle Beach, which of course is the most beautiful beaches on the island. That said , we were still able to enjoy the beach and found a spot under a tree with some shade. The Marriott employee provided towels, the beach chairs, and cold water but can also be found napping under a tree. There is quite a bit of construction happening right now, so if you are looking for a very quiet peaceful spot on the beach, Palm Beach is probably not where you want to be. If that is the case, I would choose a place on Eagle Beach. This hotel has nice modern rooms, a clean pool, yoga classes, and Zumba on the beach. Our breakfast was included during our stay but was a basic breakfast with eggs, meats, fruits, but nothing special. Overall, I think we had a great stay.
