Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino

We just completed our 7th stay at the Hilton Aruba, and our fifth consecutive trip since 2022. We now come back every year for our wedding anniversary and thus far we have never been disappointed. The location is paramount, and the staff are a well oiled machine - we’ve met the same friendly staff year after year and it’s obvious they are a tight knit family; they all take their jobs very seriously and universally strive to make the guest experience top notch. I have never seen such hard working staff at a hotel before - I hope the management appreciates their efforts. The food is consistently good, though I do have an ongoing complaint about the lobster roll - it used to be amazing, but the past 2 years it has morphed into a $36 mayo drenched hot dog roll. I sent it back last year, and I sent it back this year after first asking if it was good and being told it was large and delicious. A small quibble, but a letdown nonetheless. I otherwise ate the fish tacos for lunch all week long and they were delicious. Laguna for breakfast is solid, and the omelette lady is fantastic. I think she was there every single morning so I hope she gets a day off! We tend to eat offsite for dinner but we do have our anniversary dinner every year at the Sunset Grille and every year they give us a complimentary dessert with a little “Happy Anniversary” decor thingy. So special. Food is good here but it’s getting very pricey for the taste, portion size and quality (solid…but there are better options across the street). We dined one night at the new Shore Club and were dumbfounded they offer the same lunch menu as dinner - that’s a change from the old Gilligans, and it’s weird. We ended up having a hamburger and nachos for dinner since we didn’t want to repeat our lunch choices. We didn’t mind the second pool being closed for renovation because we stayed on the beach the whole trip, but it seemed the open pool never really got super crowded when we walked by, so that seemed good. The renovations have definitely made a positive difference overall and we are already planning our next trip in 2027. Probably can’t afford to stay in the new tower, but that’s ok - we love the Bonaire tower and prefer it there. Room was always cleaned on time, all our requests (not many) were met, and our expectations were met or exceeded the entire trip. We really love it here. Thank you to everyone at the Hilton Aruba for making our 7th trip here super enjoyable and relaxing. Can’t wait to see you next year - keep our room ready! PS - there is a really negative review on here with someone complaining about the second pool being closed and the website not describing that, along with a bunch of other gripes. Ignore that review. The website is very clear about the renovation status and the negative experience described by that reviewer has NEVER been our experience after 7 different stays. We have traveled all over the Caribbean and sampled all the major Hilton’s - the Hilton Aruba is the crown jewel, hands down. Now if they just improved the lobster roll, everything would be perfect.

Our stay at Hilton Caribbean resort and spa was absolutely unforgettable, and much of that can be credited to the outstanding service provided by the staff. A special mention goes to CKaren De La Cruz and Vicky at the Beach Club concierge, whose professionalism and warm hospitality truly elevated our experience. As a frequent visitor to Aruba, having stayed at various hotels, I can honestly say that the level of service provided by CKaren was unmatched. Her attentiveness, combined with her friendly demeanor, made us feel incredibly welcome. During the New York blizzard, when many of our flights were canceled, CKaren went above and beyond to help us with alternative arrangements and ensure our stay remained stress-free. It’s rare to encounter such genuine care and dedication, and it made a world of difference. Thanks to CKaren and the team, our visit to Aruba was everything we hoped for and more. We’ll certainly be returning!

I stayed at the Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino and had a wonderful experience overall. The property is beautifully maintained, with lush tropical landscaping and direct access to a wide, clean stretch of Palm Beach. The beach staff were attentive and made it easy to relax with lounge chairs and shade whenever we needed it. The rooms were comfortable and well-kept, though a bit more modern décor would make them feel even more upscale. Housekeeping was consistent and thorough throughout our stay. The pool areas were lively but never overcrowded, and there were plenty of activities available for both relaxation and entertainment. Dining on-site was convenient, with several good options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The quality of the food and service made it all the much better. Especially watching the sunset at the restaurant. The casino and evening entertainment also added a fun element without being disruptive to guests who preferred a quieter atmosphere. What really stood out was the staff — friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Their hospitality made the trip feel special and stress-free. The manager on duty was Anastacia and she immediately recognized me as a Hilton Honors member and went out my way to improve my stay even by recommending an upgrade of my room to a better view. Overall, the Hilton Aruba is an excellent choice for travelers looking for a beachfront resort in a prime location, with strong service and plenty of amenities. I would happily stay here again.

We have been coming to the Hilton here in Aruba with family for about 6 years. It is always one of our favorite trips. The hotel is convenient to everything. Everyone is very friendly. Jayden was amazing at check in. Very accommodating and Alexander at breakfast always had a smile and good conversation! They keep improving and updating the hotel and the property is beautiful! We are already starting the countdown to next years trip!

My husband and I visited Aruba for the first time over Valentine's day and stayed at this hotel/resort. Overall it was a great stay, the grounds are beautiful and easy to navigate. It's also centrally located on the main street in "Palm Springs". The great location made it easy to explore the area and get something to eat. The area around the hotel is styled after South Beach, Fl, but cleaner and safer, with lots of shopping and restaurants. The beach was easily accessible and you could access DePalm Pier next tour or continue to other hotels. Our room was well appointed, large with a balcony. It was advertised as "partial ocean view" but had a good view of the beach and water. A rooftop was to our right but it wasn't a problem. We stayed in Aruba tower but all of the towers are lined up next to each other. I think our was furthest away from the construction. They are still working on the newest tower and what looks like a new pool or pool expansion. The construction didn't have much impact on our vacation except that the one pool was closed, but there was another large pool that was open and plenty of seating/lounge arrangements around the pool. There was also a deck area with lounges that was very comfortable, although it wasn't by any water. However, it was much less crowded than everywhere else. The hotel was clean and very typical of Hiltons. Staff was helpful, although there were clearly some trainees who didn't have as much information as the more experienced staff. The casino was relatively small with a decent variety of slot machines but only one open roulette table, 3 open blackjack tables and 1 poker table. We were there on a Saturday so I was surprised at how quiet the Casino was, but people walked around a lot at night, a lot like South Beach, so less likely to be in the hotel. We had a couple of hiccups but nothing that would stop me from going back. We arrived in the early afternoon and went to get lunch. We arrived at 2:50 and didn't realize that happy hour started at 3 pm with discounted drinks. Unfortunately, our waiter didn't mention it when we ordered our drinks at 2:55 and, when we asked about the discounted prices at 3:05 he said it was too late to change. We tried to address it with multiple staff who kept referring us to someone else. Ultimately, it was $12 but it was more the annoyance that they could have mentioned it or waited the 5 minutes to put the order in. We went to have breakfast at the Laguna. We didn't want a lot of food but waited a long time for a fruit platter and acai bowl. The food was underwhelming. We are gold status and supposed to have a discount but it wasn't applied. This was consistent that staff didn't seem to know what discounts/specials to apply to guests. Oscars Market was nice for quick snacks. It also featured Lavazza coffee and a good variety of gelatto. Overall, a great stay at a good hotel.
