We had an amazing week at Tamarijn! I say this as a comparison to previously staying at Holiday Inn. They make Holiday Inn seem like it was child’s play.
The staff and property were just overall AMAZING and when we visit Aruba again we will absolutely stay here!
Our room was in the 2500’s so we had a beautiful setup. Beautiful sandy beach that went right out to the water, no rocks whatsoever.
I can’t say enough great things about the staff- reception, concierge, the bar, the restaurants, the shops- just wow. They were by far 10 stars. They remembered us, often by name and personalized everything. Even my 8 year old said how much it made her feel special.
Food- this is my 1 and only complaint. The Tamarijn and Divi could definitely do better in how they are set up for reservations. They are not setup for the mass amount of people that stay there and it was very difficult to get reservations. We did not get to eat everywhere we wanted to because they were booked. The restaurants book out multiple nights in advance. Yes, concierge will help but only so much. They rely on having the buffet as a backup and honestly the buffet dinner at Pelican was eh. Not what you expect for what you pay for the resort.
It was so clean and well cared for. There is always around to help and guide you. Even the guests act like friends and family here.
Overall we cannot wait to come back!
