Arikok National Park Visitors Center

my 1534 WORD review wouldn't fit in this 1500 CHARACTER review space. I'll post it elsewhere. This is NOT a Ritz/Four Seasons (although sometimes they're the same price) but it was STILL an amazing trip. Travel agent booked the stay before i read other reviews, and I was a little worried headed there Food was between GOOD and WOW. Best food in any all inclusive - good enough people would PAY to eat at the restaurants. Even the 'default' buffet dinner restaurant was outstanding. Service CAN NOT BE BEAT. It's as good or better than a Ritz level place. Drinks/bars are good - upgrade to ROYAL level for better liquors. stay away from the worst tequila in the world or ask for top shelf tequila at Royal places. Annoying way to reserve/save the lounges/daybeds/palapas at the pool and beach. I wish Barcelo would apply their NOT HERE FOR 2 HOURS WE MOVE YOUR STUFF rule. People reserve them at 2/4/6am and then don't come down again till 10 or 11 or noon. I guess it's better than paying for them though (maybe) Amazing trip, amazing people, amazing service, good to really good food, good drinks (really good with Royal). If we go back to Aruba, no doubt we'll head to Barcelo

Our stay at Swiss Paradise was truly exceptional. Jeurg and Lily were fantastic hosts who made us feel incredibly welcome. They went above and beyond by sharing their insider knowledge of Aruba, providing us with a guide to explore Aruba and multiple dining recommendations - all of which were spot on! The hotel room was stunning and immaculately clean. The pool, hammocks, and kitchen area were wonderful amenities that made our stay feel like a home away from home. I highly recommend Swiss Paradise to anyone visiting Aruba - it's a must-stay! Thank you again to Jeurg and Lily for helping make our 30th birthday celebration an unforgettable experience!

Food was mediocre at best, staff was not well organized and as a result everything was exceptionally long. It was impossible to get coffee in the morning. At one of the restaurants we arrived at 8 for dinner, and the food came after 10 - and they were not nearly full, plus drinks had to be flagged down. Very disappointing experience overall.
