• Great location, wonderful beach, and decent casino.
• Bad service, dirty tower (Curacao), room was old, bathroom was atrocious.

“The Holiday Inn looks great on the outside but leaves much to be desired when the cover is peeled back to reveal the inside, particularly if you stay in the Curacao tower. Service is very unfriendly for an island that has "one happy island" plastered on every license plate. The room conditions were borderline unsanitary. The bathroom plumbing was leaky and noisy. The shower would change from cold to scalding in a nanosecond. The walls are paper thin (thank goodness we were on an end). The beach and public areas are relatively nice although beach access is difficult to get unless you wake up at dawn. The hotel does seem to cater to families quite nicely. Its workout facility and spa were of decent quality. The casino was acceptable although they could have opened earlier to accommodate those that wished to wager on the NCAA basketball tournament. The restaurants were adequate although we found ourselves dining out a great deal since the options outside the hotel were much more attractive. I will return to Aruba but will not likely return to the Holiday Inn.”

• Like that it's right on the beach, stores nearby.
• Room was clean, but not that great.

“For the price I paid I was pleased. But if youre looking for nice, nice rooms go elsewhere. 1st time to Aruba & we stayed here for 3 days & then at a timeshare in the low-rise area. Ocean is better at the low-rise area, little fewer weeds. But, I really liked that you could take a few steps to go from the ocean to the pool in the high-rise area. There are also lots of stores and great restaurants in very short walking distance to the high-rise area. We didn't get the all inclusive and honestly unless you plan to drink a lot it isn't worth it at the Holiday Inn. The food was better at every place we walked to. Others guests who got the all inclusive were not happy. Overall- would totally recommend this hotel if you don't spend much time in your room. You'll like it if you want a "busy/active" area (I don't mean like a college party) nice for families and lots of activities/options right by you.”

• A great hotel, friendly staff, perfect location and best value for your money.
• Renovations going on.

“Holiday Inn Aruba gave us a warm feeling and good value for our money. The rooms are not expensive and offered us all the things we needed on a holiday. Most important 'it was clean'. Their beach is great even as the staff of the hotel. We will come back next year for sure.”

• Nice comfortable room, nice beach and facilities.
• Only one elevator working. Spent a lot of time waiting.

“Overall Id say this is an excellent hotel. The room was comfortable and clean. Pool and beach are nice. Although a hut on the beach may be hard to come by. Staff was helpful and friendly.”

• Great location.
• Poor staff.

“Location is great, right in the center. Its beach is public and nice. But the reception is not working properly. I had a room available after 4 p.m. So, I had to wait for a while in this hot weather. The terrible hotel staff really lowered the satisfaction level. Its Italian food and buffet is great.”

• Beach front is excellent.
• Having to get up at 7:00 am to book restaurants (and huts on beach).

“Great beach and a good hotel for the money, but not a 4- star in my estimation. Expected restaurants to be better; I enjoyed the buffet, but there are only 2 restaurants on-site, and you must wake up at 7:00 am, on the day of, to book for dinner. entertainment was lacking; amateur is the best way to describe it. the strip of shops, and restaurants in front of hotel is nice, safe.”

• The bed was comfortable.
• Put in the farthest building away from the action and staff would not change it for us, even though we ck in well before arrival time.

“The beach is not bad at this hotel but if you wanted hut you have to line up at 7:30 AM and hope you can get one. We decided this was not a good idea so we did without. We like it when you get up early and pick your hut and go from there instead of assigning them at a particular time.”

• It's located on one of the nicest beaches in the Caribbean.
• Housekeeping services should be better. Our room was not right and it took an hour to get someone to correct it.

“This hotel is located on one of the nicer beaches in the Caribbean. The room showed some signs of wear and general neglect, but was not a problem, just not closely managed. Housekeeping was not closely supervised or very attentive. But I could stay there again for the price we paid and the time we vacationed.”

• Very nice pool area.
• The bathrooms were old. Cracking sinks.

“Since there was renovation going on, it was sometimes noisy. As soon as this is completed, it will be an excellent hotel.”

• Nice location on the beach.
• Awful check in - waited until 7PM!

“Awful experience at this hotel!!! We arrived at 4 to check in - nothing ready due to lazy cleaning staff. Had to wait in line over and over again - sometimes up to 40 minutes. Finally had something available at 7PM! Went up to the room and there were no sheets on the bed and dirty towels all over the room - the room had not been touched! Had to walk back down to front desk and get a different room. VERY FRUSTRATING. Next day we requested a late checkout due to our inconveniences - request was honored however when we came in from the beach (wet and sandy) our key cards had been deactivated and we were never told that we had to have them updated! Really annoying. Very lazy staff, couldn't be more disappointed - awful way to start the trip.”

• Not much.
• Stuck in elevator-emergency phone off. Room stunk.

“Hotel lobby chaotic. Bathroom in DIRE need of updating. Cracked tiles, cracked faucets. I got stuck in the elevator after it came to a jarring halt. When I attempted to use the emergency phone, it didn't work. Rang emergency bell. No answer. Wedged door open and yelled for help-FINALLY got a response. Room smelled musty. Watch in room disappeared. Place seemed dumpy. I would NEVER suggest this hotel to ANYONE.”
