Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Stay at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our family vacation to Aruba was absolutely amazing, and a huge part of that experience was thanks to Varun and Ronie. From the moment we arrived, they provided outstanding customer service and made us feel truly welcomed and appreciated. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail helped make our trip unforgettable. The Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino exceeded our expectations in every way. The location was perfect, the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, and the rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. The entire resort was well maintained, the noise level was peaceful, and the amenities added so much to our overall experience. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and accommodating. One of the things we loved most was the convenience of the location. The main street was within walking distance from the hotel, which made it easy for us to explore the area and enjoy the island. We were also able to visit and view other Marriott properties located right next door. Most of the restaurants we dined at were within walking distance as well, making everything feel convenient, safe, and enjoyable for our family. What stood out most was the exceptional level of service we received from Varun and Ronie. They went above and beyond to ensure our family had a wonderful time during our stay. Their hospitality was so genuine that they even invited our family to return for New Year’s — and we are already looking into booking rooms now because of how much we enjoyed our experience. Thank you again, Varun and Ronie, for helping create such special memories for our family. We truly cannot wait to return! The Brown Family/Savannah, GA

We want to recognize the staff at the Stellaris Lobby Bar. Over a two-week period, we observed them work under pressure during busy periods, always providing great, friendly service. They handled difficult customers professionally and they never overreacted to these few problem guests. We especially want to recognize Jayna, Yokasta, Sandra, and Alex. They are the best...always welcoming, personable, and provide great service. Looking forward to seeing them next year.

Head straight to the front desk upon check in and look for Candy! Candy welcomed us to the island, as if we were returning home. Our room was (booked) Ocean view, she was so pleasant it set the trend for our stay at this property. Once here and checked in with enjoyed a no wrist band type of relaxation. This property is between the Ritz and timeshares. The beach is beautiful and it’s relaxing.

This is the perfect place if you're looking to enjoy both a beautiful beach setting and a lively nightlife scene. Everything is conveniently located, with a shopping center just a short walk away offering a great variety of restaurants and dining options. The Marriott itself is fun, clean, and comfortable, with an amazing staff that truly makes you feel welcome. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond, greeting us with a refreshing cocktail and helping us plan excursions that let us experience Aruba in a way that was both relaxing and adventurous. Their warm hospitality made our stay even more memorable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. A special thank you to Zuneida, Chanyn, and Victor for their exceptional hospitality. They made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived and went out of their way to ensure everything was taken care of throughout our stay. Their kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to help made our vacation completely stress-free and even more enjoyable.
