Beautiful rooms, lovely view, clean, great pool area , nice cabanas at beach. Everyone friendly PERFECT resort location, safe for all. Just the place to stay in Aruba. Don't get a car, no needed. ##### Maureen M. From a partner site ### 6/10 Okay #### Sloane A. 12 Dec 2021 #### Aruba Experience The room was great, kitchen great. Always good to grocery shop and do some cooking yourself because the food can be pricey. The beach is beautiful but getting too crowded. The water is all chopped up with rope divisions for boats/people and different resorts. We always went for Vela windsurfing but they are getting squeezed out. But the Marriott itself was great. Fun pool area, great people. Beach area good with the covered palm tree type shelters but need to be reserved day before so some planning needed. ##### Sloane A. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles K. 12 Dec 2021 #### Marriott Surf Club Great location, easy walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Room accommodations were immaculate. Two bedroom suite oceanside looked practically brand new. Was definitely a "Wow" moment when we opened the door to the room. ##### Charles K. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna E. 12 Dec 2021 #### Spectacular Family Vacation The resort was very clean. The employees were very courteous and helpful! The kids and my husband loved the lazy river! I can't wait to go back! ##### Donna E. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 12 Dec 2021 #### The Perfect Family Vacation My wife and I brought my daughter, son in law, and their three children for a week's vacation at the Marriott Aruba Surf Club. We chose Aruba because it is located below the hurricane belt. We chose Marriott's Surf Club because of the clean, and well maintained facilities including four pools including a water slide for the children; frontal beach access; good children programs; fun food for the kids and finally the friendly service from the entire staff. We are going back to the same place this year! Dan From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles T. 12 Dec 2021 #### Great Family Resort! Great resort. 3rd time here and family always wants to come back. Love it. ##### Charles T. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison B. 12 Dec 2021 #### Aruba Surf Everything was as it was described on the Vacation Candy website. When booking the reservation, all inquiries were responded to with a quick response from the company. We even loved the attention to detail with the "care package" we received right before our trip. It added a bit of excitement to our anticipation of the upcoming trip. It really is the small things that show a company cares! Room was as described. Clean and if you have the full kitchen, they provide laundry detergent and dish soap. As far as the resort, we felt is was the best one for our family. There is a strip of Marriott properties right next to each other and this one had it all and our friends came to visit us because of the "ambiance". Also our pool was open to 10\. Some of the other resorts close earlier. The lazy river was wonderful as well as the main pool where every day at 1 they play bingo. $5 for 3 bingo cards. Our last day the prize was $800! Kids loved it! The water by the beach was calm and everyone seemed to have floats. You can purchase the tubes in hotel shop and fill up with air at the towel station for free. I would only buy one tube as people leave tubes at the end of the hallways as they leave the property, We were a family of 6 and only needed to buy one! This is a great location. You can walk to town at night for dinner and shopping. Smoky Joe's was a favorite within walking distance. Pinchot's also had great food, but it is a cab ride. That is no big deal though because you just need to go out front of the hotel and a cab will be there waiting. If you are adventurous, rent a UTV and explore the island on your own. They will deliver to the hotel and pick up at the end of the day. We even took it to the grocery store! They give you a map and it really is a spectacular island to explore, but keep in mind it is off-roading! Make sure you book any activities when you arrive for the week downstairs in the main building. Another tip: rent the beach papulas that are on property in front of resort on the first day you arrive for whatever days you want to have beach chairs and shade. The rental hut is on the beach between Surf and Ocean Club. Its about $10-$20 depending on how close they are to the beach, but they do fill up. If you want to sit at the pool, they give chair tags to "hold" you spot. You will need to be up by 6:30 to tag the chairs if you want any. It wasn't a problem for us as I was always awake, would tag a couple of chairs and go grab coffee on the beach! Everyone doesn't need a chair. Most of the time you will see empty chairs because half of the time you are in the water. BRING SUNSCREEN! Pack a suitcase with your own sunscreen. Yes, you can get it there, but you need to apply every 2 hours minimum and the sunscreen is $15-$25 a bottle there! Trust me, my son was burnt on day one and he had to wear long sleeves the rest of the trip. I even packed what i thought was a good amount, but we burned through that quickly. We had a great time at the resort and a wonderful experience with Vacation Candy!!!!! ##### Allison B. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 9 Dec 2021 #### Fantastic Family Vacay Our Spring Break 2019 vacation was a hit.. Marriott Surf Club was clean, packed with fun beach activities and pool is a winner with slide and lazy river. Kids club cute. Not many food choices at hotel itself, but Aruba has amazing restaurants. Gianni, Flyish fish 45 minutes away is amazing and Papiamiento are great, kitchenette a savior. The Spy glass is a bit far away from main area, my knees didnt like that but other than that a great hotel and destination. Sun is killer, bring hat and rash guard for first day. ---
