I stayed at The Holiday Inn Resort Aruba-Beach Resort & Casino about a week and a half ago for just over one week. This was my first ever time traveling to Aruba and I was with my parents. We had flown there to be a part of my cousin's destination wedding.
Anyway, the trip itself was a bit chaotic, since we are not familiar at all with Aruba / traveling abroad...but the only part about it that was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL from start to finish was the fact that we stayed at this resort. Yes, compared to what we are used to, it was a bit pricey (and we only had a room - we did not have all inclusive or even the daily breakfast buffet) but for Aruba, it was actually on the cheaper side. Besides that, the staff was absolutely wonderful. Anything that my parents or I needed, whether it be guidance on where to eat, how to get around to the different activities my cousin had planned for us, or really anything, they were more than happy to help. Their friendliness never felt fake and they made the resort feel like every time we came back, it was like we were coming home. We will especially miss Kyle, who would always greet us with a huge smile and ask us all about how our day went...as well as Humberto, who was the exact same. He had told us that he had been working there since 1981 and you could tell that he never lost any love or pride in his job. The two of them truly stood out to us and I HIGHLY recommend finding them if you plan to stay there ;-)
