Lots of upgrades at this recently renovated Palm Beach gem
This Westin Aruba Resort, on 7.5 acres of white sands in Palm Beach, encased by lush gardens and swaying palm trees, recently had a $22 million renovation. Guestrooms and suites have been upgraded with new furnishings and amenities including 32-inch flat screen TVs, marble baths, custom bath products and pillow-topped beds. The resort is home to a 12,000 square-foot Casablanca Casino, which received 200 new state-of-the-art slot machines. The 8,500 square-foot pool received new teak furniture. For breakfast, check out the new Bon Bini Cafe.
Highlights
  • Multi-million-dollar renovation site-wide
  • Kids Club for ages 4-12
  • Seven restaurants and lounges on-site
  • The 2,500 square-foot Intermezzo Spa offers a comprehensive menu of spa services
  • Wi-Fi throughout resort
Rooms
Marble baths, pillow-topped mattresses, stocked mini-bars and fully loaded entertainment centers have been upgraded recently as part of the $22 million resort-wide renovation at the Westin Aruba Resort. Modern wood furniture and sleek flat screen TVs are in all rooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows are extra-stunning when paired with pool or ocean views.
Dining
Guests can enjoy breakfast or a light lunch poolside at the Terrace.  At Azul, chefs prepare intricate four-course dinners that are meant to be shared with a loved one on the beach during sunset. Try and resist doing an impression of Bogart while at Rick's Café, which is outfitted with comfortable teak and rattan armchairs.
Recreation
A Kids Club offers scheduled activities, and the Little Chef program allows kids ages 6 and up to prepare a meal (with expert supervision) for their happy parents. The Westin Aruba Resort fitness center provides ample opportunities to elevate one's heart rate – as do the azure ocean views one sees while snorkeling or fishing. Pro guides will lead trips to do either. Feel the wind while sailing, or experience another kind of thrill at the casino, which recently got new slot machines.

A disappointment of Westin

The bathtub paint is peeling. We saw the edge of the tub is rusting. Some of the elevators buttons are not working. i.e., the down button on the 12th floor does not light up after you press. We were woken by our neighbor's fight at 2 AM for 2 nights in a row. The staff did help solve the issue after we informed them. We also heard people above us moving furniture at night though. Perhaps, the sound insulation can be improved. There was one and only pool. No water slide or lazy river. The pool was not clean(had leaves floating and dirt in it.). The garden was just ordinary compared with Radisson or Riu. If you are willing to spend more, Hyatt regency has the best lobby, garden, and pool.

8th Magical Aruba Visit

The hotel staff is absolutely awesome! We enjoyed the pool every day. The food in the three resturants we visited was excellent with caring and personable staff. The casino was fun and best of all the ocean view from our room was picture perfect. Everything is within walking distance, We are counting the days until our return!

The Westin

The Hotel is nice and accommodating. The staff was very nice and always very attentative. The food selection is not the best in the restaurant especially for lunch but the walk to the other restaurants in the area is only about 10 minutes. Overall the stay was nice.

10 year anniversary getaway

We stayed here 10 years ago when we got married and we returned to stay because our experience the first time visiting when it was Wyndham was excellent! However, upon returning 10 years later, it didn't have the same feel. The hotel was okay, but not what we expected. The carpet was dingy and the room had a damp smell. The tub floor was not firm. It felt like it would cave in at any moment. The hotel, while neat, seemed somewhat dated. The hotel staff was great, but the restaurant breakfast wasn't worth the money and the cooking staff were not attentive at all. Not a bad place to stay, but you could find better hotels for the price elsewhere.

The best places to eat are along the strip behind the ocean front hotels. Lots of good food and souveniers shops. Downtown was very overrated. Restaurant selections very minimal and unless you enjoy high end shopping, don't bother. I highly recommend renting a vehicle and seeing the island!

Great place away from all the hussel.

We had a wonderful time at the Westin. The staff were very helpful we made our requests before we arrived and Brenda Brown, and Glenda Koolman, made sure that our room and anniversay was very special. Very clean rooms thanks to June and Alexandra. The Bloosum Resturant was a great treat. Very good food.The beach staff were the best Jerry was so very nice to us as well as Ellen. We could not of been better taken care of than at the Westin. So looking forward to going back.

I would not stay here again

Although we had reservations upon arrival we didn't have a room. We were given a free drink while they addressed the problem. No big deal but the "problems" continued. The room smelled like mildew. The entire building needs renovated. There were elevator problems 75% of the time. They offer Wi Fi service which we were not able to use for some reason. The hotel could not help us. I had to use the internet for business purposes and found out I had to pay $5.95 per 15 minutes. I flipped! Windy beach also had to pay for the beach huts

Not my favorite...

i've stayed at other hotels on the island during previous trips to Aruba and unfortunately the Westin doesn't compare. There were only 4 elevators- 3 that worked for a relatively large hotel. We spent at least 15 minutes a day waiting for an elevator to arrive! We had to hit the pool early on in the morning to secure a spot...not enough chairs and forget breakfast- the line would stretch around the hotel for the ONE restaurant that served a breakfast buffet. Other than the good location- this hotel was not one of my faves and I would not stay here again.

Would not recommend

Beautiful lobby, but thats about it. Old rooms, dirty hallways, not the friendlist staff. Small beach and very difficult to rent a palapa for the day. No free palapas on the beach. Definitely would not stay at this hotel again.
