The resort is pricey and sells pricey food and drinks. It’s not a lively resort, the staff was super nice but the swim u
Pros:

The place was brand new and had a nice design.

Cons:

Our room would sometimes have a strong mold or mildew smell as if extra moisture was in the room. We told them about the smell when we checked in and they sent extra air freshener that didn’t help.

Hôtel de luxe mais décevant
Pros:

L’hôtel est très beau. Nous avons eu une grande chambre avec vue partielle sur la mer. Le grand balcon avec une baignoire balnéo était top. Le petit déjeuner royal.

Cons:

Les jets de la baignoire balneo ne fonctionnaient pas, ce qui a supprimé l’effet waouh escompté. Le personnel à la plage était antipathique et a refusé de nous donner un parasol supplémentaire pour notre bébé. La serveuse au bar du rooftop ne m’a bizarrement jamais apporté la carte des cocktails demandée de sorte que nous avons du partir au bout de 20 minutes sans avoir rien bu. Bref, le personnel, mis à part à la réception et le voiturier, n’était pas du tout serviable. Les équipements ne fonctionnent pas parfaitement et il n’y a pas assez de matelas à la piscine. Pour un hôtel de ce standing et de ce prix, c’est très regrettable.

Excellent stay at a beautiful resort with great staff, clean facilities, and an amazing location on Eagle Beach.
Pros:

The resort was beautiful, modern, and very clean. The location on Eagle Beach was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout the stay. The rooms were comfortable, the pools and facilities were well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and upscale.

Cons:

Nothing major to complain about — overall a great experience.

Beautiful resort
Pros:

The location is great

Cons:

While I understand Aruba’s natural windiness, our room experienced persistent creaking sounds throughout the day and night from Monday through Saturday. On our final night, this noise intensified significantly and unfortunately impacted my ability to sleep restfully. Given the premium nature of this property and the investment we made, I would hope this could be addressed..whether through room selection, maintenance, or structural assessment.

Overall our family had a great time. Will definitely stay at this site again.
Pros:

Our family vacation was excellent. The amenities are awesome. The food is outrageous. The service is excellent. Housekeeping is impeccable. The staff goes above and beyond ensuring your stay is carefree.

Cons:

The drink and food service on the beach was lacking. The lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach were also lacking. They tried to accommodate our group of six (four chairs and two umbrellas) just wasn’t enough.
