The hype
Travelers obsess over the ocean views from every room but wish the beach was wider and less rocky.
Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive
$450-650/ nuit
Réservez si You want to wake up 15 feet from the ocean without paying Ritz-Carlton prices.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Every single room is oceanfront with a patio or balcony
- Full exchange privileges with the adjacent Divi Aruba All Inclusive
- The new Club Margot restaurant brings a trendy, Mediterranean vibe
En bref : It’s a 2-story motel-style strip right on the water that trades luxury polish for unbeatable beach access.
Évalué par @amandasparkles: Checking into Tamarijn Aruba was seamless. I loved the wristband key—so convenient! The room was freezing cold (in a good way) and having beach towels ready on the chair meant I was poolside in minutes. The breeze on the balcony is unmatched.

Propreté et entretien
8.2
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable; staff are friendly but sometimes overwhelmed during peak turnover.
- Bathroom hygiene: Renovated bathrooms are generally sparkling, though humidity can cause minor mildew in grout if not aired out.
- Maintenance: Exterior paint takes a beating from the salt air; expect some rust on patio furniture.
- Linens & towels: Towels are standard hotel grade—clean but not plush. Beach towels are provided via a card system.
- Odors & scents: Fresh ocean breeze mostly, but distinct sewage/sulfur smells reported near Block 23.

Quoi emporter

- Insulated tumbler (to keep drinks cold in the Aruba heat)
- Reef-safe sunscreen (Aruba wind makes you forget you're burning)

FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the beach really that rocky?
Yes, in front of the Tamarijn it is narrow and rocky. For wide, soft sand, walk 5-10 minutes north to the Divi Aruba section.
Do I need reservations for dinner?
Yes, for all à la carte restaurants (Paparazzi, Ginger, Club Margot). Book them immediately upon arrival or via the app.
Is there room service?
No, room service is not included in the standard all-inclusive package.
Can I use the casino next door?
Yes, the Alhambra Casino is a short walk away, but drinks/food there are not part of your all-inclusive plan.
Are the rooms renovated?
Yes, rooms were renovated around 2020 with a modern, colorful Caribbean look and rainfall showers.
Is the wifi good enough for work?
It's free and generally decent for emails, but can be spotty in the rooms furthest from the main lobby.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The 'Red Parrot' restaurant at Divi Aruba is often rated higher than Tamarijn's own options—book it.
- ✨
Grab a spot at the Bunker Bar for sunset; it has the best view on the property.
- ✨
The e-bike tours offered by the resort are surprisingly excellent and included.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'oceanfront' rooms are so close to the water that salt spray will coat your sliding door daily.
💡There is a 30-foot rock climbing wall right on the beach (part of the Divi Winds center).
💡The beach erodes and shifts significantly; what looks sandy one month might be rocky the next.
💡You might smell the oil refinery downwind on very rare days (though usually the trade winds blow it away).
💡The 'all-inclusive' wristbands are plastic and can get annoying/sweaty in the heat.
