Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino

I have to say this is my all time favorite property. It's not just because it's on a beautiful Island and the property is breathtaking.....it is the staff that really make this place amazing. I told the front desk it was my birthday and Manuel from the desk had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries sent to my room. He made me feel so special. Especially since I was traveling alone for my birthday. That meant the world to me. Also shout out to Demani and Elton. You all worked so hard to get the room ready, even though I arrived 5 hours earlier than check in time. I thank you all from the bottom of heart. Hilton is lucky to have such a great team. See you again soon.

Just got back from a week at the Hilton. This was my second time staying there, and fourth time in Aruba (have stayed at the Riu and the Barcelo). The Hilton is by far my favorite out of the hotels I've stayed at because of the food/drink quality, layout/atmosphere and overall vibe of the resort. I was a bit worried about the construction, but I didn't find it disruptive or bothersome at all! There are currently just 2 active construction sites - the new tower and the restaurant (where Gilligan's was). I live in a city so I am used to noise/construction sounds and can easily tune them out, so perhaps if you are looking for complete peace and quiet while on the beach, the restaurant construction might bother you, but I didn't find it to be an issue at all and could still relax and read my book on the beach all day. Everything else was accessible and there were still plenty of gorgeous views and parts of the property that were completely undisrupted by construction. I included some pics in case others are worried about it too (honestly, don't be!). We had one issue with our room that was handled a bit strangely - I reserved a room with a king size bed and the staff member at the desk confirmed that at check-in. When we got to our room, it had 2 queens instead so I called the desk, and they told me that there wasn't currently a room available with a king bed. I thought that was odd since that was what I reserved and it was confirmed moments prior. We decided to just keep the room with the 2 queens because we were tired from traveling and wanted to start our vacation! Other than that issue, our experience was great - all of the food at the hotel was excellent, the staff were friendly, and the resort is beautiful and has lots to offer. We will definitely be returning and can't wait until the renovations are complete!

Hotel is fine and staff has been very friendly. However, we were offered an “upgrade” to a room facing the resort garden and ocean view. If offered, don’t take the upgrade! They neglected to tell us the foot wide balcony overlooks not only the resort but the outdoor bar which has music pumping and people yelling till all hours of the night! I have had to use sound machine every night and it does little to mask the noise.

We enjoyed our stay here at the Hilton, The rooms were very clean, and the staff was very friendly. The beach was fantastic! There are miles of white sand beaches right out the back side of the hotel. The pools are very nice with plenty of room to hang out. Off site, there are many resturants for dinning. There is a shopping mall within walking distance from the hotel. We also rented the scooters and rode them around the area. You can walk along the beach past the other resorts on a paved walkway, with many little shops and food bungalows.

Nice property with construction currently in process. Will be nice when finished. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Only recommendation would be to upgrade the beach towels. They were small and very thin. I walked the whole beach and most of the other properties had full length beach towels that were more plush than the Hilton’s. I consider the Hilton a top tier hotel chain and would expect better. We would definitely return.
