Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

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.

I've stayed at this property multiple times and it never disappoints. I typically travel with my husband and we take advantage of the Tradewinds option, but this time we traveled with our two children - so the experience was a bit different and I was hesitant on whether or not this would be the best property to pick. I'm so glad we stayed here. Every aspect of the experience was phenomenal. Our kids had an absolute blast. The hotel is on the beach with palapas which you can have food/drinks delivered to. The pool is great - big lots of fun and not super crowded. Some of the other properties we (briefly) considered weren't ocean front - which would have completely changed the experience. It's not an all-inclusive so if that's something you prefer there are other options, but with so many great restaurants in Aruba - all-inclusive feels like a waste. Palm Beach is amazing! The location can't be beat!

Not one complaint about our stay. The rooms are new and clean. The app to reserve beach chairs is so organized and easy to use. The app can also be used for drinks and food to be brought to your chair - so easy and convenient! The location is great - and the end of the strip next to the ritz very calm and not busy part of the beach. We loved the beach bar and the beach restaurant is beautiful at sunset for dinner. Also the gym is big and nice! My whole family enjoyed everything about the resort we will be back!

We had to file complaints with Marriott corporate because of the tampering with my credit card and adding random charges etc. We came every year since 2021 but never returning. The general manager was called multiple times the suite we paid a lot of money for I had a broken air conditioner and we asked to be moved to a different room. Unfortunately I think was ever addressed. The general manager did tell us if we returned they would give us an amazing deal better than the ones we have gotten. We did give him another chance months later, but that was also untrue. When I gave them the dates for my daughter’s graduation, he gave us the worst rates possible. We think he did this on purpose because I complained about the suite and false charges. We don’t like to complain, but if you’re spending $35,000 a week you’re gonna pay attention to certain things. We gave them a lot of business and are very good to their staff. I expected better.

This was our 3rd year visiting this lovely resort. Everything and everyone is always perfect. From the pool attendants, the bartenders, the concierge, restaurants, to the bellhops, we couldn't ask for a better experience. If you need help with reservations, recommendations, or excursions be sure to see Ludwig. He is the best. Always happy, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. We'll be back next December, for sure!!!!
