We enjoyed our stay at the Surf Club. We have a 4 and 7 year old. They LOVED the slide and the lazy river at the pool. The ocean was beautiful and we didn't experience any "slime" or odd smells there. The property is beautiful. The kids really got a kick out of the iguanas and lizards that are around... more

Let me start off by saying this is a very nice hotel but very crowded. All the units are time-share owned. We actually used our friend's timeshare because he couldn't. We had an ocean view 2 bedroom villa on the tenth floor. We were only a family of 4 but you could easily fit 8. What was very strange was... more

My husband and I (both in our late 40's) took our kids, 15 and 19 with us to Aruba and we stayed at the Marriott Surf Club. I was very pleased with everything in this resort. My 15 year old son is not a beach person and my 19 year old daughter is. I found it difficult to keep him... more

My Hubby and I came back from Aruba over a week ago for the first time. I want to start and say Aruba is Paradise. The best Island I ever been to. Second the Marriott is great. Great location, Great rooms, Great people. I meet two wonderful ladies that works the front desk and they were so nice and sweet.... more

The Hotel The staff worked very hard to keep it clean. Our room was very nice overlooking the pool area. The Iguana's... more

This was our fifth time to Aruba and our third time to the Surf Club. We are owners and look forward to going back. The Surf Club is a beautiful property with lots to do and enjoy and the only downfall is the rude tourists that clearly do not travel much. The tag system in order to obtain a pool... more

Just got back - stayed in an "owners efficiency" - I guess there is a plain efficiency - we traded a full one bedroom for it because we had to take a vacation that week - turned out just fine. The one we were in opened to a foyer / kitchen and closet and bathroom - then entered the bedroom... more

I have been reading many of the reviews prior to our trip and after. I have to agree with some of the last post....life is what you make of it. I always try to keep an open mind when reading the reviews so that I am not shocked or suprised. I have to say that the hotel itself is nice... more

We (a family of four) spent a week in a two bedroom ocean view villa at the Surf Club. Check in was smooth and took about 20 minutes. Our rooms were very nice and typical for Marriott vacation property. I recommend renting a Jeep so that you can get off of the beaten path. We normally spent the morning out... more
