The Best Hotels in Aruba—Luxe All-Inclusives, Beachfront Retreats, and Cozy Boutiques | Condé Nast Traveler

"This resort is home to one of the island’s best pool scenes, with a beachfront adults‑only pool as well as a family pool complete with a two‑story waterslide and one of the island’s few swim‑up bars. An open‑air lobby catches the island’s ever‑present breeze and overlooks all 12 acres of beachfront grounds, which are immaculately manicured with bridges over a koi‑stocked freshwater lagoon, cascading waterfalls, and tropical birds. Guests can reserve a palapa the day before, skipping the pre‑sunrise scramble some neighbors require. When lounging gets old, complimentary activities range from aerial yoga to an aloe scrub‑making experience. Rooms are clean and bright, with pops of Caribbean‑inspired decor and floor‑to‑ceiling windows." - Jacqueline Dole
