"Word for the wise! If you pay for the “huts” on the beach for your entire stay, make sure you claim them daily between 7-9am or they are forfeited and given to other guests. You are not charged but you don’t have your hut. Many guests were upset as that is the reason you rent them so as not having to rush down in the morning. "

"Great place to stay"

"I recently stayed at the Embassy Suites in Aruba and had a great experience overall. The property feels very new and well-maintained — everything was spotless, from the lobby to the rooms. The pool area was beautiful and perfect for relaxing during the day. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a large variety of options, and the staff provided friendly and attentive service throughout our stay. The all-inclusive setup was smooth and well-organized, making the entire experience feel effortless. Beach access is also super convenient — there’s a short tunnel that takes you directly to the resort’s dedicated beach area, which felt private and easy to reach. One small suggestion for improvement: the elevators don’t have floor numbers displayed clearly, which can make it a bit confusing to know which floor you’re on. Aside from that, everything else was top-notch. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again."

"Pros: The room was clean and as described. We had enough bath towels and beach towels and bonus that there is a washer and dryer in the room. The pool was large and clean, but was quite cold. There seemed to be enough loungers and umbrellas as it was not too busy. The rooms have beautiful large windows that view the ocean and pool which I loved the big open view out. Cons: The resort doesn’t have much to offer in terms of snack food (by pool) or entertainment of any sort. It is quite quiet. I realize people do live there. It depends what your cup of tea is. I prefer a bit more liveliness but if you enjoy quiet and tranquility this is your place. I wish the resort offered complimentary beach chairs/umbrella to bring to the beach. This is however an extra free, and they did not have umbrellas to rent at all. I would recommend for those we need some extra space but don’t mind the quiet."

"The hill from the parking lot to the lobby was extremely steep and very hard for older people to climb. A shuttle should be available."

"overall great experience ! The front desk people were always very helpful . Jonathan who responded to my email questions promptly was wonderful and one of the reasons I decided to come . Priscilla who came around the pool to chat was great. Housekeeping could not have been better . Pool bar tenders were great . Half price happy hour was fantastic. Good very good except for tacos which were in some garlicky ranch . One issue which all hotels are challenged is chairs by beach area. Always brings the worst out in people and no exception here. People come super early to stake out palapas. the vendor next to us was given one of the hotels palapa no idea why but that’s one in 6. zits a small area I get it but perhaps more umbrellas can be placed. Or maybe hand out some daily umbrellas with safe anchors because if the wind. It was very frustrating daily . If that could be solved so would give a 10 out of ten. The kit getter was great but perhaps a hot plate could be given to cook vs just microwave, "
