Pros: beautiful resort, very clean, great pool area, nice suite with kitchenette, plenty of free parking, super friendly staff, excellent free buffet breakfast.
Cons: you had to cross the road to get to the beach, beach itself was very disappointing as it was rocky with very course sand. Go south half a mile and the beat was beautiful. You can also go north about a mile and the hotels were literally on the beach with lots of restaurants and nightlife. The embassy suites would have been wonderful had the location been better. I thought we were going to be on the beach, but in reality we had to pack up our beach bags and drive somewhere to have a true beach day. My fault for not researching a little better. There was also a building of some sort, looks like mid-rise condos being constructed directly across the street on the beach. So there was construction noise, and fenced off beach access. Overall, the hotel itself is great, but I would not stay here again because of the location.
Good to know: everywhere on Aruba took US currency. However, the hotel had no ATM. There were no ATMs nearby, finally found one that was working at a nearby casino. It was hard to use the cash inside the Embassy suites, because they could not change large bills. So bring small denomination cash with you!
