There were 9 people in our group spread out in two 2-bedroom villas. The villas were large, clean and beautiful. The Surf Club accommodated our request and put our villas close together. Due to flight delays, we arrived in Aruba later than expected. We were all tired, but got checked in quickly without any problem. With ample storage in our... more

Set your expectations: This feels much more like a 2-star resort with 4-star pretentions. The Marriott complex includes a true 4-star Marriott Hotel and another time-share, the Ocean Club.

Where do I start...what I thought would be a great trip with family and friends started out with me in tears of frustration in the lobby of the Marriott Aruba Surf Club! When I booked my trip ( I am not a time share owner---and NEVER WILL BE) I was told 'I was in luck - I could have the... more

Prior to arrival I emailed resort to request that both rooms be adjoining and if possible in the Lighthouse Tower (close to the beach and pool) with an ocean view. Rooms have internet access.

We just returned from our second visit to Aruba and the Surf Club. It was just as perfect as it was last year. The resort was nearly at full capacity, but I must say that we never had any issues with chairs on the beach or around the pool. The new tag system really seems to work great and things... more

We did an exchange to the Surf Club using my mom’s timeshare- it was perfect for our family vacation with our 2-year old. Checkin- we checked in around 2:00 on Sunday. I don’t know what they are doing that takes so long; it was at least a 30 minute wait in line to checkin. Anyone with a different last name... more
