Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive Resort

The restaurants are good once you get a reservation, which for the first two days is challenging. You need your room number to book, and you can only book two days out, but the food is very good. Service is friendly, and the rooms, while basic for the price are adequate. We stayed in building 21, which has an excellent rock free beach. If kids bother you, avoid this area. Likewise, if noise bothers you avoid the south end. There is a local nightclub near by and you feel the bass from early afternoon until 2pm. We made a room request for the main floor closer to the restaurants due to disability. Neither was granted and sleep has been difficult for me as I am quite noise sensitive, and nothing blocks the vibration. WE will not stay here again or recommend it. We might try the Divi, but if room locations can't be facilitated we will have to go elsewhere. It's a good resort, but they need to accomodate reasonable room requests. Not much they can do about offsite noise though.

The Tamarijn Aruba was great!!! Very friendly staff and the food was excellent!! The hotel was always clean and very safe! The conceierge staff was very helpful with booking excursions and dealing with any problems that arose!!! ( But I would make as many excursions as possible reservations from home on TripAdvisor….its easy!!)|Our only complaint was that you couldn’t make dinner reservations in advance or on line before arrival. I would advise you to make your dinner reservations as soon as you arrive in the lobby for each night of your trip (plan ahead at home). You can always cancel them!|Great hotel…. Great island!!

Wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay here. The customer service was amazing for us- to mention a few people Guido - Doris and George at Paparazzi made the dining experience fabulous. This goes for Red Parrot as well with our server Derrick. Pure lime service and food fabulous as well. The room was spacious and comfortable . The shuttle service was helpful between resorts and anytime you wanted a ride. Thank you again! We would definitely revisit in the future.

Close to airport, friendly staff, better food than Cancun all inclusives. We were in building 22 which is a 5 minute walk to the lobby and dining, but worth it for the beach access. More secluded and easier to save spots. Really appreciated the round wood tables with rain and shade cover. Not too far from the Bunker Bar. Bathroom shower had good water pressure and easily got hot enough in water temperature. Comfortable beds and a balcony to enjoy the view and the sound of the waves. The 3 hour morning or 3 hour afternoon kids camp was a nice plus too. We used it twice on our 6 night stay. 5-6 nights is the sweet spot in my opinion. Walkable to Ling & Sons market. Since closer to Chicago than Hawaii, I’d definitely recommend and would consider a return trip, even having not visited other Caribbean resorts.

Let me tell you, do not get scammed by this resort, you will spent hundreds of dollars per day for the all inclusive and this resort is no value for money. You are much better off staying at any other resort which is not all inclusive as there are good restaurants and night life and the down town areas are very accessible and in expensive to get to. Let’s start with the check in experience, the staff at the front desk are not welcoming, the doorman doesn’t care about your bags, they give you the bands and you are by yourself for the rest of your stay. The bar at the lobby has rude staff, the restaurants have no availability other than a dinner at 5 PM. The service across the board from bars to restaurants to front desk is sub par. I lost an item and the front desk did not even care. The room condition is mediocre, good luck getting any golf carts to go anywhere, in general all the staff has an attitude as though they are doing a favor by serving you. They only give you 3 towels per stay and it’s difficult to exchange it. Many restaurants and bars are paid and not included in the all inclusive. The room has no amenities and very basic furniture, the pillows are not comfy. The quality of toiletries in the bathroom is below par, the towels are smelly and the fridge is empty. They give you bottles of water that you will have to go all around and fill up. The service is horrible, having stayed in all inclusive resorts in other parts of the Caribbean and Mexico, this is probably the world experience in terms of service. The only thing going for the resort is the location, the beach has white sand and the water is crystal clear.

Best customer service! Very attentive staff who remember faces and conversations. The water tastes amazing and is available for free all throughout the resorts (water stations). Remodeled areas look super luxurious. We can not wait to return to see the finished product. There is plenty to see, eat, and do at both resorts. The Divi has a party atmosphere, while the Tamarijn is calm and relaxing. We Love One Happy Island-Aruba!

They best vacation I have had yet! Aruba is absolutely beautiful! The Tamarijn and Divi resorts were amazing. Staff super friendly! Amenities were awesome! Super impressed with the Gym! Special thanks to Chef Frank from Red Parrot restaurant for confirming what was halal and what was not sure of. Will definitely be going back there hopefully soon! Also Special thanks to Kelvin for helping make some special memories!

Tamarijn All Inclusive was the perfect spot for a break from the cold weather. The weather was perfect-mid 80’s and the service was top notch. We enjoyed the restaurants on property. There were enough choices to make dining interesting. Afternoons at the pool was great!! Shuttles to and from the casino was right on time.
