    Exceeded Our Expectations

    We're recently back from a 5 night trip to Aruba, and we stayed at the Holiday Inn with our 2 kids (late teens). We absolutely loved it! We picked the Holiday Inn and reserved 2 rooms based upon mostly positive reviews on TA, a friend's recommendation, and some familiarity with the Palm Beach area. We had stayed at the Allegro (now Barcelo), which is 3 doors down, many moons ago on our honeymoon. To us it's all about location! The Holiday Inn's location was perfect with their own 1/4 mile stretch of beautiful Palm Beach. Tons of options for dining/drinks within a 5 minute walk max. both on HI property and off. We appreciated the palapa rental system where you can reserve a palapa or poolside gazebo online up to 15 days before your arrival. This eliminated the frustration of arriving at the beach to find no shade/chairs available when rude people "reserve" chairs with a towel for hours until they feel like showing up. It was $30 per day for a palapa and $40 for a poolside gazebo. There are also umbrellas and chairs available for $40 per day that the beach staff will set up for you. Those are not able to be reserved and are on a first come first served basis. Our kids ate at Agave one night and said it was the best meal they'd had in ages. We also enjoyed the Oceanside Bar & Grill most days for lunch and then again for happy hour. Shout out to Edward the bartender! Moomba next door seemed to be the place to go at night for the college aged kids. We also did the Jolly Pirate's afternoon snorkel trip (also right next door to HI). Kids' loved it & so did the parents. We're not super bougie. Some reviews say that the HI is dated and needs a face lift. While it is one of the older resorts on the island, we found that it was perfect for us. Incredibly friendly staff, super clean, quiet rooms with comfortable beds. There's a reason they've been around for 55 years and counting! We had 2 Oceanview rooms in the Ocean Tower (middle building). The Oceanfront rooms are so close to the water that anyone with a half decent arm could probably hit the ocean with a rock thrown from the terrace. Between the beach, pools, and the proximity to the malls, restaurants, and bars, the Holiday Inn is perfect. I would absolutely return to the Holiday Inn and hope they will continue to be around for years to come.

    Great location and amazing staff!

    This is our tenth visit since 2017. Fantastic place to stay. The staff is excellent especially: Sulienne Ras, Fransica, Miguel, Mr. Smith, Emilia Rivero, Reynaldo, Eugene, John, Mary and Diana the waitress at breakfast and Augustine. I highly recommend this great hotel. Beautiful view and the staff are just great! It’s our home away from home!

    What I Like: clean rooms good food very friendly and helpful staff. Close to mall and different restaurants to try out.

    This is our second time at the Holiday Inn Aruba and it was great as well! One of the main reasons we came was to see Veronica. She is an incredible server and amazingly friendly person! She goes above and beyond what is expected of her and makes an effort to remember the small details that are important to people.

    Sea breeze Restaurant

    Veronica at sea breeze restaurant was amazing! Service was attentive food was delicious as well as atmosphere. We will definitely come back again. The beach and water are 10 stars as well as the weather. The hotel definitely needs a renovation as it is old.
