The property is new and clean and has a fantastic heated pool and hot tub which is kept open until 10 pm. Hiwever, the beach associated with the hotel is not good, a lot of seaweed and very rocky. Although there are great beaches in Aruba, they are dominated by the hotels and you cannot get chairs or shade from the sun. They say beaches are public but you will feel uncomfortable sitting on a towel. You can get a beach chair from the hotel for a charge but you are going around with a chair on your back while on vacation. The hotel is also in between Eagle Beach and Palm Beach so a half hour walk to anywhere. Taxis are gard to get from the hotel also. So, If you are looking for a great pool then I would recommend the Embassy, if looking for a great beach then consider a different hotel.
