Divi Aruba All Inclusive
Loved the food, beach and staff !! only thing suggested is to offer drink servers at the pool/beach as well as knowing you need to claim a beach chair early or they are all taken up with towels without people!!

Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive
The staff was so nice and helpful! It was really clean and I enjoyed every second of this resort! I do recommend making reservations to the restaurants ahead of time or go to the activities concierge to book them because it's really hard to get a reservation to the restaurants.
