Great Surprise Birthday celebration

The check in wasn't the best. The person was not information and gave direction. The rest of the staff were wonderful and very helpful!! I would recommend this hotel and will plan to stay there the next chance I get to go back to Aruba. It was a first time spot for me.

first timers

this hotel is very convenient to restaurants and walking distance was just across the street for nightlife and some shopping. the only negative is you have to wait on a line around 3pm to get a hut on the beach... you can rent them for the week for a small cost... but they definitely need a better system because the line was just silly.

Great Value

Beach is wonderful, pool is great, food was good, its in a great location and rooms were completely sufficient. Just don't try to call front desk or concierge. nobody picked up any time we called which was often being that nobody would answer. That was the only issue we had.

Absolutely wonderful!

We stayed at the Radisson for 5 nights in September 2012. We had the best experience from the hotel staff to spacious beaches. We received a complementary upgrade to the ocean view room but it had two queen beds. When we got to our room, we realized that queen size beds were not as big as in the US. Same night, we were promised a king size bed room with even better view. But we had to wait two more nights. That didnt bother us. The staff moved our luggage to a better room when we were out and we enjoyed our stay even more because of the accommodating, wonderful staff. Hotel grounds are full of exotic birds, during the day you can take pictures with them when they let them out. Hotel restaurants were not our favorite. There are tons of nice restaurants across the street and there is Wacky Wahoos - excellent fish choices (it's better to make a reservation to have a guaranteed table). Every afternoon we were looking forward to cold water with oranges that the hotel offered for its guests. Pools were nice and clean. Would definitely go back to stay here again.
