Barceló Aruba - All Inclusive

Our recent vacation at Barcelo Aruba was fantastic! The beachfront location on Palm Beach is unbeatable, with stunning views and easy access. The all-inclusive experience was top notch with a wide variety of delicious dining options. The staff provided excellent service and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Our room was clean and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed and a balcony overlooking the beautiful grounds. We loved the inviting pools, especially the swim-up bar for refreshing drinks. The entertainment team kept things lively with daily activities and nightly shows. Although the resort is large, it never felt crowded. The proximity to local attractions and shopping was an added bonus. Kids club was great!! Overall, Barcelo Aruba provided the perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment for our Caribbean vacation. We can't wait to return!

The service has been great. Breakfast has been at The Palm daily. The omelet station is nice and fresh. Maria, Glen, and Glenbert are attentive servers. Dinner at Kyoto hibachi was also really good and fun. We ate out for the other dinners. The rooms are clean, a little dated, but still comfortable. Shower pressure is good which is a plus. We didn’t hang out at the pool but it looked nice and clean. The beach is beautiful. Get out early to get a good chair. I was a little nervous after reading some reviews but we have enjoyed ourselves. Location is wonderful. Lots of walkable shopping and dining.

The Royal Restaurant: We had such a wonderful time during dinner service at the Royal Restaurant. I am not kidding when I say we felt like royalty. Our dinner started with old fashions with an extra shot of Jack Daniel's. Excellent! Then we had the endive salad and I am just telling you it was wonderful. Jairo and George presented every course like we were the next up and coming food critique. For our, main, we had the house risotto with lobster. It was superb. Our only regret is that we should have asked for more lobster. It was so good, I could have eaten 5 or 6 tails. So Good!! It was just a fantastic experience. Our hats, go off for Joyce, Jairo, and George snd their wonderful dinner service that transported me back to a time of true eloquence.

Hotel stay was enjoyable. Room was clean. Food is excellent, wide variety. Room 1420 needs a bathroom renovation. Tub was slippery with a dangerous, sharp edge, 2 very sharp edges at the sink. 7pm vocalists were good but used backing tracks instead of an instrument or the white piano , not my definition of ive music. Sammy , the guest greeter was social and sweet. Beach and pool were incredible. Great service from all wait staff.

Barcelo was great. I came for a weekend getaway to recharge and that’s exactly what I did. The hotel lobby entertainment could use a revamp. The musician would be more appropriate for dinner music. Something more lively would have been nice. Ruthmilla at the Palm restaurant is pure delight. Very attentive and friendly. Love her energy.

We had the most amazing dining experience thanks to our waitress, Ruthmila. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with such warmth and genuine kindness. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly personality made our evening truly special. She anticipated everything we needed without us even asking and made us feel completely taken care of. The food at The Palm Restaurant was delicious, but it was Ruthmila’s service that truly made the night unforgettable. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows in every interaction. If you’re dining at The Palm, definitely ask for Ruthmila — she’ll make your experience exceptional!

The breakfast is pretty good for a casual buffet at the palm. We always hope to get Ruthmila since shea always so nice. Make sure to reserve dinners as soon as possible since they definitely fill up. The bars are great and have quick service.

Wow! We love this place. EVERYONE is friendly and have made us feel welcome. But, we do have to call out a few folks. While signing in Daniel served up a delicious green cocktail and explained that blue curaçao and yellow banana create green when mixed. Nate (is Great) at the pool bar never let our water and other beverages run dry, impressive considering he covered a few hundred people around the pool but not at the swim up bar. Cesar’s at the swim bar was a bartender and entertainer. Lina at Mexico Linde was fabulous with her menu suggestions and service.
