Holiday Inn Resort Aruba-Beach Resort & Casino

I usually come to Aruba every year and used to stay at the Divi Phoenix. Now that I kids myself, I usually stay at the Holiday Inn. I’ve been staying there the past 3 years. Staff is great! The food is very good. Getting the all inclusive option is key since I have little kids. It’s definitely worth it! It’s also very close to the beach and town, which is very convenient.

Went here as a couple for our first time in Aruba. Can't beat the location of this place, and its more affordable than other hotels in the area. The location is very central, creating opportunities to walk around the town and have many restaurant options within walking distance. Breakfast buffet has a nice spread and was a highlight. Reservations are recommended for dinners at the hotel. Pool seating is oddly limited, but there are many available spots at the beach only steps away and chairs can be moved to accommodate groups. The hotel is older. The gym and interior is outdated but as a trade-off, the total space was nice and included a balcony (tower 7).

My wife and I booked this Aruba Holiday Inn through the JetBlue vacation web site in October 2025. We chose this hotel because we have stayed there in the past. Our stay was from January 11th through January 18th 2026. At first, we were first given a room on the 7th floor in the Palm tower, which had an ocean view and a parking lot view. During the first two nights, we experienced very loud music and noise coming from the clubs and bars which continued until after 1am. On day 3, we went to the front desk and spoke to Taylaure, a supervisor, who switched us to a beautiful room facing the pool and ocean on the 5th floor of the Sea tower. The remaining days and nights of our stay were exceptionally wonderful. All of the employees of the hotel, were friendly, outgoing, and very professional. A special thank you to Eugene, Kyle and Smitte, who went out of their way to assist us in making our stay enjoyable and memorable. Although we have stayed in other name brand resorts in Aruba in the past, we have already started making plans to return to the Aruba Holiday Inn next year. This is one of the reasons why Aruba is known as “One Happy Island”

This place is the best. Best location on Palm beach, best bartender (Edward) and a really nice breakfast buffet. Our server Carolina is so sweet and remembers me daily and brings me creamer. The omelet station is a great option. Also LuAnn is so pleasant and helpful during check in and Smith always takes great care of us when setting up our palapas. I love it here and have been coming for my birthday every year. Only 1 thing I would change. I am very sad they moved the iguanas from the resort. That was one of the things I treasured here.

The most pleasant staff and atmosphere imaginable from the moment we walked in. Above and beyond expectations. Amenities and food is great, clean, well maintained etc but the people set it apart from elsewhere.|The airline was a tad rough while transporting my rolling walker making it unsafe. IIt was noticed immediately and before I knew it and we were even done checking in, arrangements were made for Maintenance to have a look...Beat us to the room, found parts and repaired brilliantly. That made my entire 11 day stay right there.|Aruba is brautiful, the area is amazing but this hotel in particular has the most wonderful people that genuinely want to make sure everything is great. Stayed here before, will stay here again.

The hotel was very clean and well-maintained. Special shout-out to the following staff members Julisia, Margot, Adail, and Reynaldo. They made our stay that much more special. The location is perfect if you want to be within walking distance of some good restaurants and the beach. If you are noise sensitive, ask them not to put you in the Sea Tower. Mooma next door keeps the party going until 2:00 AM on some nights. Other than that we had a great time and will stay there again.

We loved our stay at The Holiday Inn Aruba. The hotel is very clean. The food and drinks were excellent. Highly recommend doing the all inclusive. The beach is stunning with clear turquoise water and powder soft sand. We would def stay at The Holiday Inn Aruba again. Shout out to Hugo, Smitty, Jhon, Juliette, Roy, Victor, Jimmy, and many other fabulous staff!!

My wife and I had our 40th wedding anniversary celebration here February 14th to the 20th 2026. We were pleased with all aspects of the hotel. The only complaint I had was when swimming off the beach, there was a slight sewage smell in the water. I know Aruba has some sewage issues overall and hopefully it will be remedied in the future.
