"Easy access to beach everyone was friendly our new vacation spot!"

"The rooms were spacious, modern, and super comfortable, and the whole vibe felt calm, polished, and elevated. The pool area? Chic, relaxing, and not overcrowded—exactly what you want on a getaway. Staff was attentive and welcoming, which made the stay feel even more high-end. Not beachfront, but still perfectly located. "

"This is our 6th stay at the Divi all inclusive. The food at the 5 reservation restaurants has gone down, it is good when it used to be great. The worst part was the smoking it seemed that they were smoking everywhere even around children at the pool. Smoking needs to be limited to just a few places away from most of the people."

"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."

"Staff were always so nice and helpful! And the resort was beautiful and had lots of activities and pools for everyone!"

"This was my first time staying at the Marriott Stellaris and Casino and unfortunately I most likely will not return. The food options were good and the prices were decent. The casino was decent and at night the lobby is very lively. We didn’t try the sushi but heard it was good. The Starbucks was always a good option for coffee or a snack. The beach is great and the staff is helpful. All staff had great attitudes which helped you feel like you were well taken care of. The property is clean. There are large rock areas that should have water flowing but they were not working during our way. It took away from the luxury aspect of the resort. During check in, the receptionist advised us that you can reserve a palapa at 5 PM the night before for the following day. She didn’t mention anything about paying for a palapa (which costs $30 per day) or booking a palapa much more in advance. We were there for six days and were only able to book a palapa two of the days due to each one being taken. The only real complaint is the humidity in the room. We couldn’t really narrow down why or how it was so humid but it was so humid in the room it was hard to sleep. We left our suitcases open and by day 2, all of the clothing in the suitcases were damp. By day 3, there was a “wet” stench on the clothes. My husband’s allergies are sensitive which caused him to be uncomfortable most of the time in the room."
