Creator's Key Takeaways

We've actually been to Aruba over three times in the past year and absolutely love this island.

Out of all the hotels that we've stayed at, this one really stood out to us because the location is right on Eagle Beach was incredible.

The first impressions of the property are very good.

Personally, we thought it was a beautiful hotel.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the weather before jet skiing, as it can get windy.
Visit the Lionfish Shack for local cuisine, but note it's cash only.
Book tours or rent a car to get off the beaten path, and go earlier in the day to avoid crowds.
