Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort and Casino

We absolutely loved this hotel. As people have mentioned in other reviews, the customer service is excellent! There is definitely a lot of construction going on, but honestly, we rarely noticed it. I can see that depending on where you stay, and where you rent your palapas and cabanas, it could be more or less apparent. We rented Palapas 80 and 81 and could really not hear any construction at all. If you rented lower number ones or higher number ones you would be much closer to the construction. We stayed in the Palm Beach club, which was definitely worth it for our family. The wonderful ladies up there provide top-notch customer service, especially Vicky and Kimberly. I wish I could remember the chef’s name because he is absolutely wonderful and does a great job with the food up there. I am actually sad that we made dinner reservations most nights because the food was so good at the nightly reception that we could’ve just eaten there. The breakfast was also amazing! It felt like having breakfast on a European vacation every day. Staying at the club level has a lot of perks, including 25% off cabana and Palapa rentals. The only negative thing about the club level is the elevator is kind of a pain and you can’t take the stairs. If you aren’t going to take advantage of eating and drinking up there for at least a couple of meals it’s probably not worth it. Our double queen room was very nice and pretty spacious for a basic room. I wish there were more options for suites which would have been a better set up for our family. Housekeeping did a good job, and I left an item there, and they were very helpful in getting it back to me. The beach is absolutely beautiful, and we really enjoyed the Palapa rental. The resort offers a lot of activities, and we enjoyed the paddle boarding and visiting the birds. The resort is in a great location and it is easy to walk into town, and to other properties on the beach. We had an amazing dinner across the street at Giannis, but be sure to book reservations in advance if you go there. We really enjoyed the hotel restaurant as well, although it was definitely quite expensive, significantly more than the other meals we had off property. The hotel bar is a really nice place to sit at night, and they have a wonderful DJ who plays a nice mix of music. We traveled with four families and there was something for everyone. We felt extremely safe on and around the resort. We hope to return again when the construction is finished because it looks like it’s going to be amazing.
