Each time our room was cleaned, our safe was tampered with and we had to get the hotel staff to come reset it. 3. Our TV ..."

"My Husband and I enjoyed our stay. The resort was clean and the staff were friendly. The bed pillows need to be more firm. We loved how the resort was close to everything. Restaurants were great and so was the Flamingo Island. We plan to return to Aruba and stay at the same resort."

"Didn’t feel like a full ocean view, I’d call it a partial. The only true ocean views are the suites at the end of the hall.
