We went to the Occidental Grand Aruba for a late honeymoon, and were totally satisfied with our choice. The hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating, and also threw in a surprise bottle of champagne since it was our honeymoon. There are plenty of choices for your meals, our particular favorite being Zen, the Asian restaurant where we were seated... More

Resort is in a great area, but the service was just horrible. They are the masters of no eye contact with people waiting at the front desk. Asked for fresh towels, and they claimed they ran out. Rooms are minimal and not in great condition. Need bathroom repair, paint, etc. The food was ok, but we were unable to get... More

Super location on Palm Beach. Pool is wonderful and the staff are great. Rooms not that fantastic but used for changing and sleeping. The Ala-cart restaurants did not disappoint. The buffet was great always for breakfast and lunch. Japanese and Italian venues were fantastic.

The Grand Occidental in Aruba has everything you could possibly want while on vacation! Truly a Grand all inclusive! We cannot say enough about the staff's hospitality and service. The hotel's Guest Service Manager, Sandra Steba, was always available to attend to our vacation needs. Sandra helped make our vacation wonderful! We are looking forward to going back.

Two days before our departure for Aruba, my wife and I found ourselves at the doctor's office with prescriptions for antibiotics for infections we had both come down with. We were undecided as to cancelling our trip, but felt better the next day and left the following morning. We spent eight wonderful days at the Occidental Grand. It was a... More

I went with my sister for a weekend get away and this was just perfect for that. Not too over the top and not icky. We enjoyed our stay, we loved the beach, the people were very friendly, the food was yummy and we really enjoyed ourselves. We tried 3 of the 4 restaurants and liked them all. This hotel... More
