Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive Resort

My husband and I stayed at the all-inclusive resort- Tamarijn- for about 3 nights/4 days. We absolutely loved our room- with its beach access and amenities- however, our room was a little dirty/not as updated as we expected. We were confused on how the all inclusive thing worked, but thought it was great that they offer an orientation to help people understand (although we missed it). We enjoy the food and activities offered; but definitely felt that the ambience was more lively/energetic than we thought. In other words, this would be a great place for big parties (i.e. families, friend groups) than just the two of us. We also liked that they had shuttle services and a variety of excursion/activities to do and try! While we would have picked a more relaxing/romantic resort to celebrate our honeymoon, we would definitely come back with friends or family in the future!

The resort and employees were spectacular! From Rishma at the front desk, to Rossana, the cook at the pool bar, these people worked hard and had the greatest attitudes! Everyone was helpful, thoughtful while still hard working. Our 2nd trip here and Rishma was able to give us the same room we had 6 years ago! She also was able to retrieve my wife's jacket from the airport bus that she left on it with her phone charger in the pocket. Again, awesome resort and awesome people working there!!

Incredible resort! Staff are amazing and helpful. The rooms are clean. Beautiful grounds. The food and drinks are excellent! Of course, the beaches are amazing! This area is quieter than the resorts and hotels further up, but you can take a bus or taxi up to that area, too. We highly recommend this resort! We’ll be back!

I would rate our vacation there as good, but not a place we'd really want to go back to. Weather was fantastic. The first thing that turned us off was the front desk. At registration....None of the desk attendants exhibited a smile or hint of happiness. Did the basics to get you registered, and any questions that needed to be answered, seemed like a chore or an annoyance for them. Both attendance spoke English well, but seem to veer off to their native language when discussing some of the questions we had. Far too many of the Staff made you feel like they were doing you a favor by serving you and answering your questions. The restaurant wait staff and resort bartenders were actually the most amiable. Great service in those places. The food was VERY good in every all-inclusive restaurant we went to. Did not have one bad meal the whole week. ....Although the breakfast and lunch buffets were extremely disorganized in the areas that require short order cooking. They Give you buzzers to let you know when your food is ready, but the order got mixed up a lot when you went to get them. The transport buggies that took you around the entire Divi resort were readily Available, but you did have to wait a few minutes sometimes. The beach around our ocean front room was the least eroded and damaged. Some areas of the beach are unusable for swimming or walking the beach. Very pretty and warm water. Still too many rocks in some areas. The room was relatively clean and functional. The lock to our sliding door to the beach was damaged upon our arrival. Maintenance did repair it. These doors have these magnetic alarms you can turn on and off, which made me wonder why they had them. Resort was pretty. Lots of interesting lizards and birds. Nice, simple pool area but the pool hot tub... was not hot. Quick cheap taxi rides to anywhere else you wanted to go outside of the resort. All in all....nice vacation, but not a place I'd be excited to go back to.

We had the most amazing vacation at this resort! From the moment we arrived, every single staff member we encountered was so friendly and welcoming—it truly made our stay unforgettable. Housekeeping was fantastic. Our room was spotless every day, with fresh towels and everything perfectly in place. It was clear they really cared about the little details. The food was absolutely incredible—delicious, fresh, and so much variety. We looked forward to every meal! The beaches were stunning, with soft sand and clear water, and the pools were equally amazing—clean, relaxing, and never too crowded. We left feeling so happy and relaxed. This resort exceeded all of our expectations, and we can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, stress-free getaway!

we were overall happy with our stay! We went in unsure with it being an all inclusive (because typically we don’t like the food at all inclusives), but were pleasantly surprised. It was of good quality and taste, and there were a variety of restaurants and flavors. Booking reservations wasn’t easy for our large family of 6, but the concierge helped. ||The rooms were basic, but generally clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were very tight. It was nice to be able to use the sister resort Divi, because the water on the beach at Tamarijn is not great. There are a lot of slimy, sandbags and rocks, seaweed and pipes. It is always murky as well. But it is very beautiful at Divi. ||We loved the long boardwalk along and between both resorts. The coffee machine in the lobby was decent and the gift shop had any essentials you might need. ||The pool chairs looked nice and padded, but we used the beach, and those chairs were just basic. The beach also could’ve been better kept with raking ( there were cigar butts and cigarette butts which were never cleaned until I did so myself after several days of seeing them and my toddlers picking them up). It’s missing a few other luxuries like quality pillows & room service, but overall a good value for the price and a nice resort.||One thing to know about Aruba itself is how windy it is. We were not aware of this until we came (but could be assumed based on their national tree shaped by the wind). It was annoying at times, especially being on the beach with the fine sand pelting you in the eyes. I’m not sure I would return for this reason as I’ve heard it is very windy all year round. You can’t hold a sun hat on and it just got to be very annoying. That’s the only negative. I could find about the place though. It otherwise is beautiful, clean safe and lovely.

The Tamarijn was AMAZING! We came for our 10 year anniversary and I was blown away. Our room was right on the beach, we literally walked out our door and in a few steps we were on the beach. This was exactly what we wanted and everything about this trip was honestly breath taking. All of the restaurants had delicious food and the breakfast and lunch buffet was delicious and so fresh! The concierge desk was so helpful, they booked our restaurant reservations and answered any questions we had.The views, the food, the staff were all lovely. We ended up doing the UTV/ATV tour through De Palms Tours and the pick up and drop off went flawlessly (highly recommend that tour, SO much fun and a great way to explore the island; Ricky and Luis were the best tour guides also). The only thing I regret is not staying for longer lol. We will be coming back here every year!

Service is so amazing ... always smiling ... finding every way possible to help ... cannot say enough. The food was far better than ever anticipated; Club Margot was our fave, but Ginger and Paparazzi were served excellent gourmet quality dishes. The facility large and sprawling ... rooms great sizes .... clean. The only small issue - wish water was hotter for showers. We love this place.
