Lovely Location
This hotel was wonderful. The pool is amazing and it's right on the beach. It's close to a few restaurants, bars and a market place. The only I would suggest is that they start offer beachside massages like the nieghboring Divi Resort. They gave me Champagne and lunch for my birthday which was more than I could ask for. The staff is super friendly and willing to offer suggestions for places to go and see during your stay on the island. Definitely a great place to stay while you're in Aruba!

Very good.
I had no problem and everybody in the hotel was very helpful and friendly. The room was confortable and clean but the bathroom needs a little upgrade, really nothing special and the shower had was not that good. Bath tub peeling off didn't cause a good impression. Amenities very good.

This Hotel only offers buffet for Breakfast and it is inside and very expensive. If you are not that hungry and wants to experience a breakfast by the beach, go to Gilligan's Bar (part of Radisson) a few yards from the Hotel. The food is great, excellent service and you will have a breakfast looking at the wonderful blue Caribbean Sea!

From the moment I walked into this hotel until the moment I left, I was treated very nicely. It's a bit pricey on the resort, but I suppose that is typical. The beds are amazing! There is stunning scenery and everything nearby. I intend to go again!

Mini Vacation
Went there for a weekend getaway. I’ve seen plenty of reviews of complaints about the 'premium ocean view' - this way the hotel sits it DOES NOT seem to have rooms that fully face the ocean. You’re not going to be looking out your room to only see beach/ocean. We had a 'premium ocean view' and it was pretty darn terrific! Yes, there was the dirt parking lot, but LOOK PAST IT...all you saw was the sea! We were on the 14th floor. Yes, the room is 'dated', but it's NOT a brand new hotel. Be reasonable. It's in pretty darn good condition if you actually think about how much it is used. LOVED the fact that they had a very large clock on the outside of the building for when you were at the beach. I've seen reviews also of bad service. Heck, just be nice to people and they'll be nice back! The only 'problem' we had was it was 4pm and housekeeping still hadn't touched our room. (They have a sign in the room saying they do rooms from 9am-6pm and to let them know if you prefer a certain time). We called downstairs for more towels and within 2 minutes they were at our door! If you like Italian food the Baci restaurant is a MUST! It was fabulous! If you want a guaranteed Palapa (Beach hut) you do have to get in line in the morning if you want it for free, or reserve it the day before for a fee ($25 for front row/$15 for middle/$10 for back). We did the reservation for a front row and came down at 8am to it being all set up. LOVED to see the list of all the activities downstairs too going out by the pool doors. All in all I will be going back!
