    Can't think of a single thing.

    Service was amazing from everyone. The location is quiet and perfect for a relaxing and romantic getaway. The beach is beautiful, the waves gentle, the breezes pleasant, the umbrellas and comfortable loungers plentiful. You are well taken care of there.

    Not being able to get dinner reservations often enough!

    The Fitness center was very well put together! I use free weights. in my work out, a lot of hotels and resorts don't have free weights. There was all so ample room to do my stretch out in the fitness center, The fitness center staff was also very helpful and knowledgeable! The fitness center is very clean and does not smell like a gym, the air is clean! The banana's, apples are great in the morning. It would be nice to have a few oranges also. The beach is very clean. No trash anywhere! Breakfast is superb, the staff very helpful, enjoyable and personable! Dinner was very good. Though we only got two eat there two nights because they were booked. One night we ate at Mathews, another night at Water's edge, both were ok. the other four nights we ate at the bar, while at the bar I noticed seven to eight tables open all night> Not sure what that was because of people cancelling their reservations, or a shortage of staff to serve the tables properly? We also appreciate the staff al being in uniform. Clean and very professional looking! The security staff also was very professional, if you looked for them you could find them, but you never felt like you were being watched, or guarded!

    The breakfast was everything and anything a couple could possibly want. It was delicious! The servers are extremely welcoming. The beach chairs are set & ready for you every day. You just have to ensure you log onto their beach chair selection at 5pm, or you don't get top billing and they go fast! It's ok though, we were near the back every day, but we weren't far away...it's all good :) You will not be disappointed!

    There was nothing to complain about. The staff have been so well trained, and it’s obvious that they are all happy and love their jobs. The owner of the Resort was always around, just mingling with the guests.

    The food at the restaurant was always fresh and beautifully served. Breakfast was included, and the selection was incredible. The staff were always happy and friendly, and so very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was lovely and spotlessly clean. The most comfortable bed and pillows. The reception staff were always friendly, and called us by our names. An added perk was that you could reserve your spot on the beach, and in the morning the lounger was ‘made up with a terry sheet” and towels on the chairs. This was our third time there, and we would certainly return.

    I can't find a thing. Brilliant experience.

    The place was wonderful with the most welcoming stuff I've encountered in all my vacations. The attention to the environment, the luxury, the room view, the sunbeds, the quality of service. Everything was brilliant. I'm already dreaming about coming back. Not to mention the beach in front of the hotel is the best beach in all Aruba.

    RECEPTION Very warming & pro welcome with bubbles ROOM We stayed in room 223 for 1 week/7 nights Great that corridors have AC Bed : very comfy Tv : big screen with plenty of channels Light switches : a bit awkward to use Storage : plenty available Absolutely 0 mold smell because of systems in room + greatly maintained Cleaning : made a remark on our first morning because stuff lying under the sink, the lady had also forgotten a filled trash bag on the dink…no issues after that ECO We really loved the reusable containers which you can take home. Actually using them now here in Bonaire BATHROOM The tv in the mirror is a nice gadget but we did not use, probably because we are European… A pity that there is no flexible hose, easier to rince (ladies) hair. Being 1.95m (6.4 ft) the shower was a little too low for me but not a big problem Aloe vera products = great and also local The position products not very practical No earbuds or shower caps in room or a note saying you can get them upon request and we did not bother asking any either. BALCONY Very happy to have a side view of beach and sea although we had a garden view No drying rack and we did not bother to ask. BREAKFAST - ELEMENTS You can sit outside and enjoy a GREAT view while having a good breakfast. Choice/quality is fine but : Probably introduced during Covid but really not practical, lay-out bot goid, people even queuing outside. Buffet but you cannot serve yourself. You need to take a (rather heavy) wooden tray (plateau) and ask for everything. Bacon to be ordered separately where one can also get scrambled eggs (too dry for me) and crêpes (pancakes) A lot of fruit and a nice bread choice. Separate egg station made to choice. You can order Eggs Benedict (great) and waffles (too big and heavy for my wife) from the waiter along with your hot drinks. Cappuccino is great After our very first breakfast around 8.
