Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

This resort was lovely! It was very clean! The staff was all so kind and accommodating! The food was good all over the property. The pools were clean and easy to get a pool chair. The beach was clean and roomy. This is a great place for couples, friends, or families.

Nice enough; not for >$1,000 per night for ocean view. Pool and beach chairs highly annoying. It’s a hunger games competition to get access. Like the Marriott surf club, you have to book the Beach Palapas using the app. It sells out instantly . On day three, I decided to bring towels from the day before to the adult pool. I got down there at 6:40 AM with coffee thinking I would just hang out for a while and claim a chair. There were three people standing by an unattended entrance gate to the adult pool. I walked right by them, and as I went through the gate, a woman came at me with an attitude telling me it wasn’t open until seven and that that’s why they were on line. I hope she reads this. I was so disgusted with her attitude. I went back inside and will not attempt to go to the adult pool. I’m not competing for chairs. Paying up for the Ritz is worth it.

We just got back from the Marriott Stellaris and have only positive things to say about our stay at the Marriott and the wonderful island of Aruba. We were a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information we were given at check in regarding the "how tos" on resort, so it took a bit of acclimating. However the next morning after we checked in we found Ludwig at the service counter and he was amazing helping us navigate the hotel, the excursions, etc. He was always a welcoming face during our stay. Thanks Ludwig

We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation at the Marriott Stellaris. Everything was easy and comfortable. The room was great, cleaning staff helpful and the beach was great. Special mention to Carlos and Javier at the beach hut. We also enjoyed the breakfast buffet and à la carte choices. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is nice, just not the best fit for us and - in my opinion - a bit overpriced for what it is. It really caters to families from middle America with children. There is an adults only section but still feels extremely family-oriented.
