Hotels on the Lake in Aruba

"Everything was same as usual except check-in. Took us almost three hours to get a room - sitting in hot lobby with our winter clothes on. "

"Such an amazing experience. The staff was extremely generous and helpful at all times, the breakfast spread was the best, and every area was clean. The room was sparkling and every other part of the hotel. The pool had a beautiful setup with cabanas, lounge chairs and a pool bar. I will definitely be back"

"Meals were wonderful, lots of choices and good value for the money. Some restaurants never seemed to have availability though. Not sure if the reservation system was also open to the general public. If so, people staying there should get preferred treatment. Fortunately, one restaurant took pitty on us, and snuck us in. Do Not Use the Concierge to book excursions! We wanted snorkeling and sunset cruise. I think the company the concierge recommended must have been giving her some serious kickback $$$. The meal was meh. The snorkeling was rough going in choppy water. Didn't get to see anything because I was exhausted 5 minutes after getting in the water. The tour guides should have known and moved over to the over side of Aruba where I hear it was much easier. Glad we were on the far end, 2200/2300 building area. Beach was shallow and no rocks fortunately. Just past the Bunker bar, it was mainly rock to help with the erosion problem. Keep your AC on and door closed otherwise humidity condenses on tile floor and you could slip."
