Boka detta om You want the space of a condo with the amenities of a resort, directly across from Aruba's best beach.
Varför människor älskar det
- Full kitchens in every unit save a fortune on dining
- Super Food Plaza (best grocery store on island) is a 5-minute walk
- Directly across from Eagle Beach, which is far less crowded than Palm Beach
Snabb Överblick: A practical, unpretentious timeshare village that trades modern luxury for convenience and killer beach access.
Recenserat av @diazdestinations: I honestly didn't want to leave this room! Opening the balcony door to that tropical breeze and pool view was the highlight of my mornings. The bed was super comfy, and the 'Send me to paradise' detail on the headboard perfectly summed up my whole stay.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is the pool renovation finished?
Yes, the main pool deck renovation (Phase 1) is complete. However, Phase 3 building renovations occur April-Sept 2026.
How far is the walk to the beach?
It's literally across the street. About a 2-minute walk from the lobby to the sand.
Is breakfast included?
No. Most guests buy groceries at Super Food, but Islander Grill offers breakfast for ~$12-15.
Do I need a car?
Not really. Super Food is walkable, and taxis/buses are easy. But a car helps for exploring the wild north side.
Are there hidden fees?
Yes. Expect to pay about $7.50/night in energy/environmental levies at checkout, plus the $20 airport sustainability fee.
Is the casino smoke-free?
No, Glitz Casino allows smoking, and the smell can sometimes drift near the entrance.
Insider-tips

The 'Happy Hour' at Pata Pata Bar often has 2-for-1 drinks—ask for the schedule at check-in.

Use the side gate near the tennis courts for a shortcut to Super Food Plaza.

The 'Grand Suites' are in a separate building with no ocean view—make sure you know what you're booking.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'Sustainability Fee' is charged at the airport ($20), but the hotel charges its own separate environmental levy ($3/night).
💡The water slide is surprisingly fast and fun, even for adults.
💡You have to pay for a safe lock key in some older units (check if this is still enforced).
💡The 'ocean view' from the 1st and 2nd floors is mostly a view of the pool and a palm tree.
💡The Wi-Fi can be spotty on the balconies; it works best in the living room.
