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.

Nice hotel

The hotel is at the end of the strip so a bit more of a walk to the restaurants/shops than some of the other hotels in the highrise strip, but this also means it is a bit more quiet and secluded which is nice (can't hear restaurant noise from hotel). The pools aren't that special (e.g., no pool bar) compared to the other high rise hotels. But the beach is nice and staff were friendly.

Best hospitality ever!!!

I was at the hotel only for a few days but the level of hospitality that I received was excellent. The staff was extremely helpful. I had to cancel my reservation early due to an unforeseen reason. They were nice enough to cancel my reservation without any cancellation charges. The entire staff was very friendly and compassionate. They made sure that I was comfortable during my stay. I don't generally write reviews but I am glad to write this review and I cannot say enough good things about them. Highly recommend this hotel.

Good Hotel

This hotel was nice to stay in, but we found that there were much nicer pools, beach areas, and bars within short walking distance so we spent most of our time away from the hotel (except to sleep and shower). The breakfast was terrible, so we ate breakfast at a nearby hotel (cheaper and much nicer and with ocean view). Pago Pago was excellent, food and service. It would have been nice to have a fridge in the hotel, b/c we were tired of eating all meals out and not being able to have leftovers. Also would have liked to have had somewhere to store cold drinks and beers insted of relying on expensive hotel drinks. Premium ocean view was nice, great sunsets! Balcony was small but fine for two people to sit on.

Pack a cooler bag so you can take your own cold drinks down to the beach instead of paying for much overpriced drinks at the bar or gift shop.

From Sam at the door & Frank inside at the desk you couldn’t ask for more helpful staff. Rooms were ready upon arrival, Beds & Pillows were the best ever!!! Casino on site is nice as well as Andre J. was very helpful. All in all a great stay and get away just before the holidays.

A Wonderful Experience

As soon as we walked into the hotel we were greeted by a man that goes by Happy and that he was. For our entire vacation he greeted us as we walked in and out of the hotel with a smile on his face and something nice to say. When we got to the counter to check in Dany was incredibly professional, helpful and friendly. We had a small confusion with our reservations, but he quickly fixed the problem and even upgraded our room. Throughout our trip he was our go to guy, always willing to let us know where we should go and what we should do. Every time we walked through the lobby he had a smile on his face and always gave us a friendly greeting. He even had a dessert and wine delivered to our room for my husband's birthday! It was very thoughtful and just the extra touch to make our vacation even more memorable.

Great Place to Relax

The Westin Aruba is an amazing place to relax. It is the first on the strip of high rise hotels so the markets and restaurants are a 3 block walk, but for me that just means it is less noisy and more relaxing. The beach front is gorgeous and there are not a lot of people crowding all around. This is partly because its not right across from the town and partly because we go during the slow season (Sep./Oct.). This was our second stay and they were very consistent from year to year. Great service/staff, excellent restaurants, good view of the island and the ocean.

Azul is the Westin beach front resturante. They only have 5-6 tables available so making a reservation a week in advanced is advised. The food is delicious and the atmosphere (table in the sand, no shoes, sunset) is amazing.
