I too do not understand all the negative reviews. I travel about 45 weeks out of the year so I unfortunately see it all. I certainly was apprehensive after reading the reviews but this place was fantastic. We only stayed 1 night since we were staying at a time share the rest of the week. My brother and his wife...

I booked the trip on Travelocity and arrived to be told I had to pay a $40 per night 3rd person fee, which Travelocity specifically told me we paid for the room and not per person (only the all-inclusive was per person.) The hotel was unapologetic and told me it was between me and Travelocity and had me wait on... More

We had an awesome time at Aruba. Rooms had a very bad musty smell. Location can't be beat. If budget is an issue this is a fine place to stay. If its not than u would be happier at Riu,Hyatt, Raddisson or Marriott. Food at iguana bar is better than room service. Only 2 people at check in which is... More

One of our best holidays ever, so can't understand why there are so many negative reviews. If you want to pay 5 star prices there are plenty of flashy hotels a short walk away on the same beach, but none have the lovely Caribbean ambience and intimacy of the HI Aruba. The hotel is set in lovely grounds with easy... More

Firstly I must say that we usually stay in 5* resorts and holiday between 3-5 times a year, on booking the Holiday Inn we were somewhat nervous as the reviews looked concerning. However, the deal was great and Aruba is very expensive to travel to so we thought we would give it a shot. We stayed for two weeks in... More

Holiday Inn is a clean nice, affordable, beach resort. It is not all inclusive but they have 3 nice restaurant and they set dinner buffet on the beach with nice entertainment and dance with the price of regular dinner at any restaurant outside the resort. Also just outside the resort you find 2 nice new malls and lots of restaurants... More

It has been over run by hip hop little thugs and wanna be's. If that is the atmosphere you are looking for make sure to book for Soul Beach 2013. If you are looking to stay with a family, make sure it is not Soul Beach. The bass will rattle your spine after 8 hours of it. It is said,... More

I stayed at the Holiday Inn on Palm Beach in Aruba in early May 2012. There was a decent deal mentioned on this travel newsletter that I get regularly that included airfare. Early may seems to be a bit of the off-season for reasons I am not quite aware of. Although we did get a little rain, we were constantly... More

The Holiday Inn is a good value. It is beachfront, the pool is beautiful, it is directly across the street from great shops and restaurants, and it is within walking distance from many terrific restaurants. The hotel is directly on the bus stop, our room was very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Apparently the hotel has been refurbished... More
