Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

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.

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.
