Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

Such an awesome hotel for a family with teens. Rooms are big and clean, cleanliness from the rooms to the amenities are top notch, atmosphere was warm and inviting. All the staff were amazing, one in particular was amazing Ryan our waiter he was one of the best we have ever meet. The hotel is close by lots of food places and easy to get back and forth. Thank you Marriott Stellaris for making our family vacation memorable!

This morning we were invited by family to have a brunch in this huge hotel complex. The restaurant has a spacious air-conditioned inside section, and a smaller but more cosy and tropical looking outside section with a view on the green palm trees, white sand and blue sea, really a bonus. The brunch delivers a very extensive variety, from salads, seafood, pastry and snacks to tapas, soups, fruit and pancakes, very welcoming assorted, and really mouthwatering! I went for the breaded shrimps, sausages, beef kroket, different cheese (from brie to manchego) and chorizo, scrambled eggs, and finally dessert with cheesecake, flan, brownies and tiramisu, wow! The service is very good and the prices according to the food. Highly recommended!

Lovely hotel - lobby and service are impressive. Our Governor's suite was amazing. Pool is not huge but the shape makes it feel more expansive. Seating varies from shade to sun - you have to get out there early to secure your chairs. One thing we noticed is that they do not clean the pool area very often or well. Often there are food, plates, cups, towels, etc left to sit out for long periods of time. Same with the beach. If you want a palapa - reserve early. Restaurants are nice - sushi in the lobby was amazing! Overall we had a wonderful experience and the location was great.

I stayed 2 years ago at the Ritz Carlton next to the Marriott but the seats on the beach are very close together there and their pool is not very big so this year I decided to stay at the Marriott since for the same price as the Ritz you get the "Tradewinds" package for the same price it is advertised the extra perks are the Tradewinds lounge where breakfast lunch and dinner are available there as well as a teatime and a premium open bar as well as reserved Tradewinds parking and Tradewinds special beach area. We'll i stayed 8 nights and there are only 5 parking spots "reserved for Tradewinds" which i was never able to park in for 8 days as they were full so toss that out. The reserved beach area is tiny all the way to the right and none of the 8 days was i able to reserve a spot close to the ocean I was at least 4 or 5 rows back not worth it. And for the meals breakfast is boxed eggs they have not fresh eggs I asked and dinner is only 1 hour from 6-7pm and a small selection of what's offered and they do not refill the food so if you get there at 6:20pm we had no cheese and were told that's all they had. Also the special check in i waited 25 minutes to be checked in as they only had 1 person to check in so again it sounds good. Reserved parking, special place on the beach, 3 meals. Trust me its not worth it I would never of done it for the extra $200 - $400 a night.

I was profiled here even though I just bought food and was shopping for a dress. I would avoid this place when returning. No one wants to be uncomfortable when on vacation.
