Book Cheap Hotels in Aruba

Loved everything except wish there was music at the pool ?

loved the beach, water in the lobby, pools, staff didn't love our room/our balcony was overlooking the entryway to hotel. Hallway was musty smelling

The property was fine the room was better than expected I couldn't ask for much more other then them having me wait until 3:45 to check in. What I hated and still can't get an explanation for isctravelocity (Expedia)105 room fees and taxes additional charge that Travelocity has yet to explain and the hotel has spoken to them. All Travelocity does is pass you around and waste your time.

Well organized; clean; terrific food; happy staff; excellent service

The Hilton Aruba is located on the same site as the very first Hotel Aruba Caribbean,built in 1959. As a result, it occupies one of the best, most spacious layouts of any hotel on Palm Beach relative to its size and shore frontage. Temps are in the 80's every day, no rain, lots of sun. The beach is never crowded compared to some of the others. Just take a walk in either direction and you will see what I mean. The hotel staff is very friendly, as are most of the residents of the island you will meet in your travels. Unlike many tropical destinations, the local Arubans are generally glad to welcome tourists, ranging from bus drivers, beach employees, restaurant workers, to name a few. Aruba is expensive. The food is a challenge, but if you research it and are willing to walk a healthy amount from the Hotel, you will not be disappointed. Freshly caught grouper fish is a real treat.Like any other resort area, there are ridiculously expensive restaurants, but it is ultimately a matter of choice as to how well you do with your dining dollars. The rooms, especially in Building 1, are clean, comfortable and up to date. Each has its own deck, and the higher up you are, and further away from the AC condensers on the lower adjoining roof, will determine how happy you will be with the partial ocean view (northeast side.) Great location, well worth the effort to get there.

Check in was a cluster because so many people arrived at the same time off the same shuttle so we did not get a good explanation of the resort or how some of the perks worked. We requested a King bed but got 2 queens pushed together. FYI the mini bar is two cans of beer in the fridge no liquor. The beach and pool chairs are cut throat first come first serve but the staff is willing to help you find a spot. The specialty restaurants were better than the buffet for dinner.
