This was our first time in Aruba! Only complaint is we requested a king bed in the reservation & they only had rooms with 2 full beds. The hotel & location could not have been better. Great value for your money. You are literally in the heart of the shopping/restaurant district. This is the best part of the island. Beaches all across it, water view from our hotel room (which was upgraded to a better room upon check-in), clean & friendly staff. I will return soon!! We also had a chance to walk along the back of the hotel to check out different beaches, scenery, & cute shops that were not on the main street. There is plenty to do & I wish we had more time to explore-even though we stayed 5 days/4 nights. We have been home now for 1 week & I have been telling everyone about our experience and the price-no one can believe it. I was surprised also by the friendliness of the locals and everyone spoke English. The island was clean, everyone friendly, & very safe. Also, do not do all inclusive! Aruba is known for their wonderful food/restaurants. We ate out every night & didn't break the bank. We actually went to restaurants & had 3 course meals & they were $25 pp. We dined like kings and enjoyed the tasty cuisine. I hope you enjoy your vacation as much as us.....we are headed back soon!!
The room was comfortable and clean. The beach was beautiful and relaxing! We enjoyed our stay tremendously. I would recommend the Holiday Inn if you are looking for a deal. It's the best you will get in Aruba!
Just returned from the Holiday Inn on a ten day vacation to Aruba. Stayed at the Holiday Inn and you couldn't beat the price. The rooms have been updated and the service was great. Rooms & properties were very well taken care of. Didn't go all inclusive, and was told that the food was very bland, and they haven't changed the menu in seven years? Cheap Caribbean.com & Jet Blue did a great job of getting my party of seven to the island. Aruba was beautiful as usual, but it is starting to remind me of Cancun. I liked it better 22 years ago when I made my first trip to the island, it was a lot more tropical back then.
The Holiday Inn Sunspree has a great location on Palm Beach. Shopping & dining are easily accessible!
As I was booking my trip, I was a little bit hesitant being that I did not know what I would be getting at the Holiday Inn. I was SO pleasantly surprised. The resort is in the most perfect location. We stayed in the Bonaire tower and it was extremely clean and seemed recently updated. The bathrooms seemed fairly new and there was a nice flat screen TV. We had not opted for the ocean view since we were on a budget, but were so happy when we looked off our balcony and had a wonderful view of the ocean. Restaurants, shops, other hotels, bars, activities, and more are all right outside your hotel. If you're looking for luxury, I would not say this would be your top choice, but if you're looking for a great location, beautiful beach, and clean rooms, I would recommend the Holiday Inn Aruba.
Nice hotel. Simple, nothing luxurious, clean, safe. Right on the beach - you may walk around in your bathing suit – don’t have to cover up. Service is nice - we needed to change the room - didn't like the view - and it was arranged for us by Margot and Lilly at the reception desk. Great location - tons of restaurants around in a walking distance.
The Holiday Inn was super. Upon hearing that we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversory,Guisayada the desk clerk upgraded our room, and the next morning there was a bottle of bubbly in our room. The people working at the hotel were all friendly and helpful. We had a room with a great view and would definately return.
