No activities at this resort, the infinity grill and swim up bar closes early especially with the pool closing at 9pm. No entertainment no game rooms, limited food options. They offer all inclusive but it's not worth the money.

The room was big beautiful and spotless. It had everything we needed from dish soap and sponges to an entire clothes rack for our bathing suits, etc. the grounds were gorgeous, pool was perfect, location excellent. Beach is also beautiful. Service at passions was a bit slow but that is my only tiny complaint. Front desk people were a pleasure to speak with. We loved it!

An Exceptional Stay at Ocean Z Boutique Hotel
Our stay at Ocean Z Boutique Hotel in Aruba was truly exceptional from beginning to end. The room was absolutely beautiful—spacious, comfortable, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed. It was clear that great attention was given to every detail to ensure guests have a relaxing and memorable experience. The outside shower was amazing at night time!!
The service was outstanding, and the entire staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. A very special thank you to Xiomara, who was truly the star of the show! She went above and beyond to make sure every one of our needs was taken care of. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for the guests made our stay even more special. She is an incredible asset to the hotel and deserves recognition for the wonderful way she represents Ocean Z.
We also thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, which was a wonderful touch and a great way to start each morning.
One of the highlights of the property is its location. You can simply walk to the beach right in front of the hotel and enjoy the incredibly clear water, where you can see beautiful fish swimming right from the shore. It was such a peaceful and beautiful experience and made our stay feel like a true Caribbean getaway.
Ocean Z Boutique Hotel exceeded our expectations. From the beautiful accommodations and excellent service to the wonderful staff and stunning surroundings, everything came together to make our stay amazing!
