i've been a lot of places and this was by far my favorite!
The price was just right. We thouroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hotel was nice and the staff friendly and helpful. We really liked Aruba. We plan on going again.
great place, step out of your room and right into the ocean, a few feet away and dine while eating on a table sitted right on the ocean, then after lunch take a dip in a pool, next to a bar or jump into the ocean near by, party the night away and sweet dreams.
My new wife and I stayed at the Tamarijn in July 2010. We had an amazing time there. Our room was perfectly cleaned everyday and the view was the biggest seller of the whole trip. Anywhere else on the island your paying through the roof for oceanside view, but it the only option at the Tamarijn. The pools, bars, restaurants, beaches were too good to be true. If you get bored at the Tamarijn, just borrow a bike and go to the Divi next door and they have cool stuff too. Honeymooners get free gifts, and not just cheesy stuff. We got a bottle of champagne, 2 champagne flutes a picture frame, 2 t-shirts, and a romantic dinner on the beach. All around a fantastic place to stay in aruba.
Tamarijn Aruba is a great place to stay. All rooms have ocean views, even if the room is a little small. We have stayed in other all-inclusives in the past and found Tamarijn to be a good value overall but lacking in dining options & entertainment. This is NOT a luxury resort, but still a great place for a relaxing vacation. We would recommend to our friends and will be returning in the future. Our cheapcaribben consultant was not as informed as I would have expected. He told us that we would be going through customs after arriving back in the US and that is not the case. US Customs is right in the Beatrix Airport in Aruba. Our consultant also did not offer us more direct flights which would have made our travel easier. I will still give cheapcaribbean another try. Pricing is great, can't beat the deals they find.
This was our 4th trip to the Tam and every year has been great! Not fancy but clean,nice people and lots of fun.
I stayed here in May 2009 with my sister and two of our friends. The resort is nice, with many options for food. I especially loved that we could use the sister resort next door as our own. So, basically, we had double the restaurants, pools, etc for the price of one! The food was really good here too. I've been to all inclusive resorts where the food has been horrible. The gym is REALLY NICE!!! It has wonderful views of the oceans. It definitely isn't one of those forgotten rooms at a resort. There are many activities too. We rented bikes one day and went into the city. There are many ocean floats to rent as well. My only complaint is that the rooms were just standard. The air conditioner didn't work that great it the rooms, and the beds were not the most comfortable. However, I wouldn't let that deter anyone from going there. I would go back to this resort.
Aruba is the ultimate vacation place. You meet lots of new people - the water is my all time favorite - beaches are beautiful! What more can you ask for. We usually go in February and we wont go anywhere else. The weather is always perfect.
I absolutely adore this resort. I've stayed there once 2 years ago and I'm thinking of going again. I always tell my friends about the place. I love the different restaurants and the fact that the hotel is right on the beach. I also love the evening entertainment. The staff is wonderful too. At night I love to sit outside and just gaze at the stars. It's an absolute paradise on earth..
