Tropical luxury resort a short walk from Eagle Beach
This spot has been recently taken over by the Tropicana (the casino is coming soon), and offers loads of amenities within walking distance of Eagle Beach. Kids will love the wild water slide, while adults seeking tranquility can find it in the more atmospheric pool across the property, with a waterfall and Jacuzzi tub. USPTR- and USRSA-certified tennis professionals are on hand to help with that swing, and should one be interested in a few extra calories, a Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins shop is on-site at the Tropicana Aruba Resort & Casino.
Highlights
  • Three pools, a water slide and a waterfall
  • Tennis pros on-site
  • De Palm Tours office on-site
  • Guest rooms at the Tropicana Aruba Resort & Casino come with Jacuzzi tubs
  • Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins stands on-site
Rooms
Each of the 362 sun-drenched suites at the Tropicana Aruba Resort & Casino come equipped with a Jacuzzi tub, kitchenette, separate living room and a private balcony or patio. Rooms also have two television sets, each with an expanded cable lineup. The adults-only deluxe rooms have an extra-large wraparound balcony and come furnished with a love seat, wing chair and two-chair dining set for in-room entertaining.
Recreation
Two pools are on the Tropicana Aruba Resort & Casino property -- one with a wild water slide and smaller kiddy pool, another with a tranquil, burbling waterfall and Jacuzzi tub. Tennis is a house favorite, and USPTR- and USRSA-certified tennis professionals are on hand, ready to lead seminars or arrange play (equipment rental is available). Five jogging or walking trails are tucked away on lush spots across the grounds -- keep an eye out for friendly iguanas. A new fitness center has treadmills, elliptical, upright and recumbent bikes, and a three-arm workout station. A day spa offers relaxing treatments. A representative from De Palm Tours is in the lobby and can help plan island excursions from luxury shopping to SNUBA to rugged Jeep tours.

Average

The hotel needs more upgrade, still under construction. A little far from the beach. You need to walk through another hotel to get to the beach. The furniture needs upgrade as well as the rooms.

Great location but needs remodeling

Location was great. It is only a 2-3 minute walk from Eagle Beach and the bus line. On bus you are only about 5-10 minutes away from the high rise hotels to the north and downtown to the south. About 10-15 minutes from airport depending on traffic. A new supermarket also opened just a block away so it is convenient if you are looking for groceries. Rooms are a bit out of date (like 70's) and the kitchen appliances need to be replaced. Bed and sofa needs updating too. Wifi access is not free and it is a real pain because it is contracted out through a 3rd party service and you have to key in a code from an access card for every device you want to use..i.e. switching from your laptop to your cell phone... and if it is droid it is even more of a pain to switch because you will have to go to the front desk so they can make a call to tech support every single time. Connection also keeps dropping and the signal is only fair. Staff was friendly but not very efficient... extremely slow at everything they do. Not much option for food services at this hotel either. Had to go across the parking lot to hotel La Cabana or other nearby hotels.

Weekend Getaway

This hotel is average and needs some activities for the guests especially the kids and entertainment. The beach is amazing however the 10 minute walk to the beach stinks. It is a relaxing environment and is not where all the night life is but you can get on the bus for $1.50 and go down to the high rise and shops for the night.

Dated but OK value

The front desk staff very friendly, as was the towel lady. From afar, the place looks great. Not until you get close can you tell how dated the hotel is. My room was huge and for the most part clean but in need of some serious updating and paint. The fitness room needs its equipment replaced or at least fixed. I gave the overall ratinfg of 2-stars mostly because it felt more 2-star versus 3-star. For the money, it was fine. For luxury on the beach, try the Riu.

Ok for an overnight stay

Booked this hotel to cover a day we were in town before being able to check in to our time share. Overall, the hotel was OK, but I don't know if I would book here again. Luckily, the deal that we received made it worthwhile.
