All of the reviews we have read on this hotel are great, but has anyone ever actually stayed there before? Were you totally satisfied and can you recommend it 100%? If not, we would be interested in hearing the negative side, too, so we can make a wise decision.

I have stayed there and it really is a great place to stay. Keep in mind that staying in a hotel in Aruba is a bit different. Some hotels still allow smoking in eating areas and you get your Towels allocated to you at check in. Other than that I have to say it is a great place to stay. Feels very safe, great pool, and the staff is very helpful.

Matchpoint I really appreciate your input. I'm always a little afraid to just go to a hotel that I don't know anything about, especially when we will need to make reservations for 2 weeks. It's nice to have someone who knows confirm what you've read on internet.

Yeah that is so true. I stay at the same place every time but I fear it might be booked full at some point and I would HAVE to try some other place. Thanks for the pros and cons. Well appreciated.
