RSSThere are glittering luxury beach resorts along Druif Bay, and Eagle and Palm beaches. Recently, all the resorts along this hotel strip upgraded their standards. Enjoy the beautiful view with comfortable suites, where generally the winter rates are substantially high than summer season rates.
Caribbean Town Beach Resort. Closest to the airport, but only a 10-15 min walk into town. Convenient for business travellers, 63 rooms and suites built round a pool, children under 18 sharing free, large rooms, most with kitchenette, Oceanside rooms are cheaper than pool side as they overlook the road but a/c reduces traffic noise, Surfside beach club and watersports centre across the road.

Aruba Marriott Suites. 250 1-bedroom suites, pools and small beach, no beach at the hotel but guests may use a private island reached by motor launch from the hotel lobby which has watersports and all facilities, even a private honeymooners’ beach, the only drawback being that the island is right at the end of the airport runway.
