Holiday Inn Resort Aruba - Beach Resort & Casino, an IHG Hotel

Location was great as it is walking distance to many great restaurants. Plus, if you want to want to go further out to explore other restaurants/stores/supermarkets, there are taxis parked on the side of the building ready to take you wherever you need to go, which I loved. All the staff were pleasant including management, staff at the front desk, wait staff in the dining areas, housekeeping, and the people keeping the grounds clean. Everyone was pleasant and respectful. The hotel was clean and there are a variety of food options on the resort if you choose to eat in the resort instead of eating out. If you decide you want to remain on the resort to eat throughout your stay, I would recommend you do an all inclusive package.

The hotel staff is incredibly kind and helpful. We found our first trip to aruba easy to navigate due to their support. The hotel was not too crowded (although we may have just lucked out with timing) and the restaurant we went to on the property was great. We did not do the all inclusive and don’t think its worth it to do! Neither my husband or I really drink but the food off the property is literally outside the hotel and there are so many good restaurants!

Beautiful property right on the water with balcony views that were incredible! Unfortunately our balcony was right next to the parking lot which was loud and not as private but roomy. The staff was very accommodating and the facility had everything we needed.

Location is on the best part of the beach (sand it the best). The hotel is within walking distance to many restaurants, shopping and other attractions. You can go all inclusive or do your own thing, we do our own thing. This is our second trip to Aruba and both times we stayed at the Holiday inn. This is not the Holiday Inn you think of across most of the US. The rooms are similar but the facilities are far more comprehensive and include indoor and out door Spa areas, large pools, a fairly comprehensive health facility, not the 2 machine facilities found in a lot of hotels.

the location and friendliness. the beach was amazing, the staff was incredible, this was our third year back. We will definitely return.
