Lovely options for families and seniors on Aruba's Palm Beach
In often pricey Aruba, Holiday Inn Resort Aruba offers variety and value for all ages. Stretch out on a quarter mile of Palm Beach, go snorkeling or take a kayak. Plunge into the zero-entry pool, play tennis, hit the casino or plan a spa day. Kids can join supervised activities, while guests 60 and over find exclusive amenities and discounts. Walk across the street to more restaurants, shops, movies, live music and nightly liquid fireworks shows at the village-style Paseo Herencia mall.Holiday Inn Resort Aruba Rooms

Great location!
The holiday inn is located in the palm beach area and within walking distance to many shops, restaurant, and entertainment. The view from the room wasn't the best, but staff, location, and value made up for it!

One Happy Island
Upon arrival the hotel appeared to be very clean and the staff very friendly and accomodating. After my first night when I tried to have a nice hot shower I did not find the water better than lukewarm.The rooms are very clean and the cleaning staff is on top of things. Was an issue when it rains there were leaks within the hotel. I did not do all-inclusive pkg and found things to be expensive but so is everything else on the island. All in all the hotel was quite adequate as my only time spent there was to sleep. It has a nice beach and swimming pool area. I did use the fitness room and as it seems with any hotel I have ever stayed at some of the equipment was in disrepair. Always seems to be maintenance issues in large hotels.

Fair for the money.....
Rooms were fair at best. Old furniture, bit of a musty odor. Really needs upgrading. Too many iguana running around the pool area. AND they're very messy.

Take a cab to the local super market and load up on beer, soft drinks, and snacks for the beach. Keep them in your room. You'll save alot of money.

Inexpensive on Palm Beach
My wife and I have stayed here numerous times. The rooms are adequate, and the staff is very accommodating. Excellent location with many things to do. Full access to the best water sports on the island. Walking distance to many good restaurants, night life and casinos. No need to get a rental car for here. Lots to do and see.

Location, location, location!
this hotel is not perfect....but it is in a perfect location so it is well worth staying here. I have stayed twice and would book again. the problems...well, annoying but not worth giving up this location. One elevator was not working for a day...had no water for a few hours one day in the night. but, the beach, is awesome, the staff incredible - it is within walking distance of everything - stay here, you will not be sorry.

except for the airport transfer, walk or take the bus everywhere. the bus is less than $5 round trip for two to Oranjestad. but unless you want some expensive shopping, stay within walking distance. lots of food, shopping, entertainment, casinos right there.

Great family vacation
We were very pleased with our stay here. The hotel staff was very friendly and accomodating. The location was great and it's within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. They had a dance show that we enjoyed, Bingo, kids activities, etc... We would definitely stay there again!

We didn't do the "all inclusive" package, as we liked trying all of the different restaurants in the area. Some of our favorites were: Smokey Joes, Senor Frogs, & the Amuse Bistro @ the Playa Linda Resort.

Great Location, Front Desk Needs Help
Front desk staff are slow, act like they have no concern for you, and do not offer any useful information. Hotel has a great location for foot travel to shopping and restaurants. Parking is close, easy, and free. Rooms are very clean, maid service was great.
