The beds were comfortable, staff friendly, and the breakfast was great. We loved the beach right across the street too

There is a bar right across the street that has loud music and locals revving their motorcycles/doing donuts until 230 in the morning on fridays/sat, 12 on sundays and until about 10 on other nights. If you ask to switch rooms, since we were on the side closest to the street (west side), they will say the other rooms are premium rooms and an extra $20 a night. My guess is because the noise isn’t as bad. You can ask reception to call the cops at 1 am to try to stop the noise

The hotel itself was very nice and was very close to the airport and downtown.

My room was on the first floor by the main street and across the street were bars that attracted locals that played music loudly into the early morning. On the second night I asked to switch rooms because of the loud music and was charged $20 extra a night despite me staying there seven nights and was offered nothing for the inconvenience, not only was the music an issue you would hear cars all night and they would rev the engines loudly and drift into the early morning as well. Word of advice if you do stay here make sure you get a room away from the main street and on the other side of the hotel.

Very closer to beach and town walking distance. Very beautiful located closer to many places including air port

I loved the pool area. And the restaurant/ bar being so close. The staff was very kind. Complimentary breakfast was ok/good but the servers/staff being so kind, you didn't notice it could have been a bit better. Delicious coffee.

My room was nice (apartment/suite) but the sofa and chairs were stained. I couldn't figure out with what, but it made me feel uncomfortable, like I was sitting on soiled furniture. Also the maid service, they didn't thoroughly clean.

I loved this hotel. My family and I loved the food, the staff (with exception of some Housekeeping ladies that were not the friendliest). In the main, everything was great. We loved how clean the hotel was. We loved Esmeralda from food and beverage, she was very welcoming, dedicated, professional and friendly at ALL times!! We’d love to go back!

I requested a set of clean towels one day and ones of them was not very clean. We ended up leaving it on the floor of the restroom.

Each staff member was so accommodating and kind. We only stayed one night before transferring to a resort for the week, but the servers at the bar were helpful with suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing. It's our 1st visit to aruba and the people couldn't be nicer! The common area (lobby and restaurant/ bar) is open air and nicely appointed. We didn't use the pool, but families were enjoying the deep area plus the shallow area created for kids or just sunbathing. The drinks at the bar tasted great and the happy hour was a true 2 for 1. We only ate a snack but the mozzarella sticks were good. There are 2 busy, well known restaurants within walking distance but we didn't want to wait until 8:30 for dinner, so we walked across the street to a more "local" beachfront bar to eat. (If you are interested in the highly rated restaurants, make a reservation at least 48 hours in advance) We learned later that this was the 1st hotel in Aruba and has been renamed and updated to Talk of the Town.

The room was a bit dark for my liking but it was clean and the bathroom was updated.

Location was spectacular! Close to the airport but no noise at night. We were away from the flurry of activity but could enjoy it if we wanted to! The area was super quiet. The beach/bar/restaurants across the street were great. The pool and cabana were super pretty, quiet and relaxing. Not a party scene which was exactly what we were looking for! The staff is absolutely the sweetest!

Due to moisture issues/mold, you can't control the air which (because we were sunburned) was very cold. That was my only complaint.

Marlenny was excellent at the bar. The aesthetic of the hotel was nice, especially the pool area. I enjoyed the buffet breakfast. Helpful staff.

The checkout process was very stressful with the maid constantly interrupting me while my friend and I were rushing to put everything together. I do not want to get her in trouble; I just think there needs to be better communication between management and cleaning staff. She did not really speak but had quite a mean look on her face. She came about four different times and would knock quickly many times before we would even have a chance to answer. It was very impolite and unprofessional. I think she just needs training and she will do well. The outside bar also needs fans. It is too hot to sit out there. I wanted to stay longer and chat with Marlenny more (and keep drinking), but I had to go to my room. I cannot imagine how hot it is for the workers to do their jobs as well.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff is really helpful and nice. The location was great. It was a really nice and relaxing vacation.

The pool was a little dirty in the borders. Also, we were told we couldn't purchase breakfast from the restaurant, and then we saw people doing that.

Breakfast is served as a buffet modality and is very good. Hotel is located about 100 meters from the Surfside Beach which a very quiet one. Hotel guest are provided with a ticket to use the Beach Lounge Chairs at Reflexions a BeachBar with Music with good prices. Watch the Sunsets from there is strongly suggested. In front of the Hotel Sandra's Garden a local Bar with Latin Music and Beverages can be enjoyed Fridays are the nights although is daily open
