Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

I can never say enough about this amazing hotel and casino. No matter how many times I’ve visited, each time supersedes the last time. One would think that after 28 visits to Aruba, I would get tired of being there but no way. I anticipate and look forward to the next visit right after I leave. There is so much to be said about the hotel itself. Polite, accommodating, welcoming and professional staff. Clean, comfortable, beautifully appointed rooms. Every place to eat was very good. Ruth Chris was amazing. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Veronica Ruiz. She went way over and above to make sure that we had the very best experience and the most enjoyable vacation. I absolutely must write a review for the casino, the experience was outstanding. Jeffery Cores, Raymond, Rayleen, Rosinny, and Visia are top notch. I recommend this place to everyone that I come in contact with and suggest that they stay here and if they can try to meet these amazing people that truly want to help you have an awesome experience while there.

Another amazing experience. This was our 3rd time visiting Aruba, and we have always stayed at the same hotel. However, this is the first time bringing our daughter. We again were upgraded to a beautiful pool/ocean view. The rooms were recently updated and stunning. I personally had zero issues with the app and getting chairs close to the beach or pool daily. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful even making towel animals on our chairs when setting us up. The breakfast was amazing, and the included mimosas were delicious. We keep saying we want to try other areas of Aruba, but this hotel is our favorite and we will just have to keep traveling to the other areas because we will always stay here.

The Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino is a family-friendly destination that offers a variety of amenities to satisfy different preferences. The casino provides a decent gaming experience, and the lively atmosphere contributes to an entertaining stay. One of the resort's key advantages is its location next to the Ritz Carlton Hotel, giving guests access to one of the best beaches on the island. The beach features inviting water and flat sand that extends far into the ocean, making it a pleasant spot for relaxation or family activities. Guests are welcomed with a complimentary drink, which adds a nice touch to the check-in experience. For those with Platinum status, there are several perks available that can enhance your stay. Overall, the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino has something for everyone and is a solid option for families looking to enjoy a variety of activities while visiting Aruba.

The Marriott Stelaris is right next to the Ritz Carlton and away from most of the crowds further down the beach. The pools are very nice and the hotel bar have a great happy hour and wonderful sushi bar for a quick lunch stop in.

This stay was very nice. We had the Tradewinds (TW) oceanview package, which included meals and included drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). The resort was lovely. The views were spectacular. Our room overlooked the pool and just beyond, the ocean. Sunsets and sunrises were especially beautiful. The room was nicely appointed--beds comfortable and double sinks were a nice addition and clean. The food, I thought, was tasty and better than your average resort food for the most part. Staff were friendly and accommodating. As a claustrophobic, I was worried about the elevators. They were glass (which helped a lot) that faced outside and fast. I didn't take the stairs but they seemed to be open. I only saw 2 people use them while there. It was fairly easy to get a palapa but you did have to have a fast trigger finger to reserve in the morning. The TW side may have been easier though. There was music every night that lasted until 10 pm. It wasn't a bother to me. The adults side of the pool for TW rooms was definitely more of a laidback vibe. The regular pool was way more lively. I stayed more on the regular side. Walking back from Oranjestad, there was a path of all the hotels. It was probably nicer views on the Hilton side but the Stellaris was still a great stay. There are fewer nightlife options without taking a cab. I wished I learned of this pathway linking the hotels earlier because I would have likely party hopped sooner. Aruba is windy. Location aside--I guess remembering my geography would have reminded me of this but I wasn't prepared for the wind. But the wind helped the temps stay very manageable. I anticipated hotter weather and it wasn't. As for the hotel, it was a nice stay for a girls trip.
