    Aruba, one happy island.

    We just returned from a wonderful week in Aruba at Barcelo where we had great service and good food. Rodell in the Fish restaurant was a great addition to our vacation. His attentive service and manners are worthy of a high end restaurant. Thanks to Daniel in the First Club, I now like Martinis.

    Barcelo is awesome.

    The staff are exceptional! I own a timeshare at Barcelo. Aside from owning here, I really love the staff and facility. We won’t love everything everyday, but you will love it. The view is beautiful from any level. Enjoy your time to the fullest. Meet new friends and enjoy!

    Aruba First Time

    Tip: if the restaurant staff tells you they cannot reserve you a table, go anyway and staff usually can accommodate. Apparently, alot of guests book multiple reservations at the hotel restaurants and then don't show, hence not time slots. A $5 or $10 will get you a spot. I suggest the hotel charge a modest 'fee' if guests don't cancel a reservation. That might stop or at least minimize this practice.

    Our experience at Barcelo Aruba

    I give my average score only for the lack of different choices in the buffet, specifically at the fruit station. For example during the dinner they had six bowls with cantaloupe and two bowls with apples. I'm sure there could be much better assortment of fruits on on tropical island like this. Other than this the service was good everywhere.
