The Westin Resort & Casino, Aruba

just got back from our trip. loved the westin! the people who work there are so nice, everyone was helpful and pleasant. great location, near the cute shopping strip, close to restaurants and right on the beach. the only complaint is that the beach is a little small and crowded, but most of the beaches on the high rise strip are. it was a minor issue, the beach is so beautiful, you can walk over a little and have the whole beach to yourself. last time i stayed at the marriot which was much more crowded and full of kids. the rooms were clean and comfortable, and as soon as you call and ask for something they send it right over. would stay at the westin again.

My husband & I stayed at the Westin for our 30th anniversary. Room was not a prem ocean view as booked. More like a ocean, parking lot, construction site view. Room was clean & comfortable. Front desk staff not friendly, maid service & bell men wonderful, restaurants ok but better food can be found at better price. Phone was broke in room whole time, I complained twice, was ignored..no biggie. Loved the location, loved Aruba. We were just not wowed by the Westin..I wanted to be..really I did; it just didn't happen. We will return to Aruba (loved it, loved people) but will try a different hotel next time. When I pay the resort price I expect to be treated a little better..we weren't not even on our anniversary

Great service, clean room, good food, spectacular view, amazing poolside massage, beautiful beach, perfect location. Couldn't ask for much more...

amaizing, perfect family vacation, i recomend to any ocacion wedding, family , friend it es the best

A good three star but just not up to Westin standards - no one thing can be faulted completely. Unfortunate location/ building design that funnels wind to hurricane velocity. Beach becomes a sandblast. Wifi was poor throughout hotel. Ok if dicounted as it should be which is true of Aruba in general.

For the price I would recommend staying at the Radisson or Marriott. The Westin was just average, nothing special .

I loved the Westin. I feel like the Westin had the best beach area (cabanas, lay out chairs, etc.). I think that the Marriot had the best resort, but I think the Westin is the best place to stay for the money and beach area.

The hotel was in a great location - right on the beach. We went snorkeling in the ocean in front of the hotel and saw hundreds of tropical fish. It is close to restaurants, shopping and bus stops. There was always papalas available on the beach and the staff was very friendly.

We loved this place,as it was our first time in Aruba. I would recommend it to anyone. The only thing that we do not like is charging money for a shelter on the beach or the pool. People reserve them for the day and they stay empty most of the time. We had the opportunity to walk through the other resorts and it was a first come first served basis. People pay enough to stay here something should be done about that. Also charging for internet service,are you in the dark ages.

As many reviews have already mentioned, the Westin is due for some renovations. Hallway carpet, door paint, and all lounge furniture inside and out, still need to be replaced. We stayed in room 728 on the sunset/ocean side of the tower. Beautiful views. Room was very clean, cool, dry, no smells, everything we expected. Bed was very hard though; we both awoke with back aches every day. Housekeeping was very good. No hotel next to Westin to the south so it is very very windy at the pool area and sand blew hard and often on the beach. We used the pool at the Radisson one day just to get away from the wind. Beautiful beach area though. We got a non-reserved palapa on the beach 4 out of 5 days that we tried. Much less wind further up at any other hotel. Overall, good hotel but not that great. You get what you pay for. No complaints really, but more expensive properties we have stayed at in Aruba were obviously much nicer (Radisson especially). Very good hotel for first timers or ones on a budget.
