    Can’t wait to return!

    This resort is gorgeous! It is so much fun!! I’ve never seen a more beautiful place than Aruba. Will definitely be returning to this resort. My only complaint is the musty smell in the hallway. I know the resort has tried to rectify this, but it still smells.

    Exceptional vacation spot!

    This was our first all-inclusive vacation, and we are hooked. We are already making plans to come back in 2026. ALL of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could possibly be. The location was beautiful! I can honestly say that this by far was the best vacation I have been on!

    Fun time

    The place was located in the perfect location on the beach with amazing views and tons of things to do. The staff was amazing from housekeeping to the super fun bartenders. Mary and Elsa at the pool bar are some of the nicest, funniest people I have ever met and made our trip extra special..
