Mixed
experience,
some
staff
were
amazing
while
others
were
not.
The
bellman
was
amazing,
he
was
very
friendly
and
helpful.
The
lady
who
checked
us
in
was
unpleasant
and
didn’t
explain
how
most
things
worked
with
the
all
inclusive
and
seemed
very
annoyed
that
she
had
to
check
us
in.
Depending
on
which
staff
member
you
ask
you’ll
get
different
information
about
where
you
can
eat.
Dining
at
any
of
the
restaurants
you
are
expected
to
tip
for
overpriced
food.
One
evening
we
went
to
the
paparazzi
restaurant
and
had
a
horrible
experience.
The
hostess
harassed
my
son
and
I
and
said
we
were
not
all
inclusive
despite
our
wrist
bands.
He
thought
my
son
was
an
adult
(because
he
looks
older
but
all
my
children
had
to
give
their
passports
at
check
in
to
prove
age).
The
hostess
came
back
to
our
table
after
we
ordered
and
said
that
in
fact
we
did
not
have
the
right
wrists
bands
and
needed
to
leave
and
walk
up
front
with
him.
Our
server
tried
to
stop
him
and
told
him
that
we
did
have
the
correct
wrist
bands
and
he
insisted
we
did
not.
After
being
embarrassed
and
removed
from
the
restaurant
and
taken
upfront,
the
front
desk
staff
informed
the
hostess
that
we
did
have
the
correct
wristbands,
and
that
he
was
wrong.
He
continued
to
smirk
and
be
rude.
We
decided
to
leave
and
go
back
to
our
room.
I
called
the
manager
at
the
Divi
Golf
where
we
stayed.
She
was
very
understanding
and
listened,
but
said
she
couldn’t
do
much
since
we
were
at
the
resort
across
the
street.
I
spoke
to
the
manager
the
following
morning
at
the
resort.
He
was
very
nice
and
listened
but
nothing
was
ever
done
or
offered.
He
said
he
would
be
in
contact
after
investigating
&
they
would
make
up
for
the
inconvenience
and
embarrassment.
I
wish
they
would’ve
handled
the
situation
better
and
been
more
empathetic.
Overall,
we
enjoyed
Aruba,
but
would
not
stay
at
that
same
resort
again.
Make
sure
you
make
dinner
reservations
as
soon
as
you
arrive
otherwise
you’ll
only
be
able
to
eat
at
the
buffets.
They
book
up
quickly.
Also
Don’t
depend
on
the
golf
cart
to
pick
you
up
for
transportation.
They
do
get
very
busy
&
understandably
so
you
will
get
your
steps
in
walking
around
the
resort
and
across
the
street
to
the
other
resorts.
One
Bellman
at
the
all
inclusive
across
the
street,
would
not
let
us
use
the
kayaks
or
amenities
or
eat
at
the
restaurants
despite
divvi
Golf
saying
we
were
allowed
to
use
the
amenities
and
it
was
included
in
the
all
inclusive
so
again,
lots
of
mixed
information
on
what
we
were
allowed
to
do
and
not
allowed
to
do.
Fortunately,
we
left
the
resort
and
went
on
different
excursions
and
just
paid
extra
since
we
couldn’t
depend
on
what
Divi
was
providing.
The
golf
course
was
fun,
it’s
not
free
because
you
do
have
to
rent
clubs
and
shoes
plus
purchase
balls
and
tees.
All
the
all
inclusive
that
I
have
been
before
everything
is
included
whereas
with
divvi,
there
were
some
things
included
and
some
things
not
so
not
a
true
all
inclusive.
If
you
go
there,
you
will
have
to
spend
extra
money.
Also,
they
advertise
Non-motorized
water
sports
are
included
&
That
is
no
longer
true.
The
lady
at
the
desk
was
able
to
provide
snorkel
goggles
and
that’s
it.
There
are
no
fish
right
off
the
beach
so
it
was
pointless.
The
lady
at
the
desk
said
they
used
to
offer
more
water
sports
activities,
but
no
longer
do;
she
was
very
nice.
Obviously
I
thought
it
was
included
since
it’s
advertised
on
the
website
so
that
was
a
little
disappointing
and
again
cost
more
money
because
we
had
to
go
elsewhere
for
activities.
Lastly
we
got
a
later
check
out
so
we
swam
before
having
to
leave
for
the
airport
and
when
we
got
back
to
the
room.
Our
keys
had
already
been
shut
off
so
I
had
to
jog
back
to
the
lobby
to
get
a
new
key
while
my
kids
stood
dripping
wet
at
the
front
door
of
our
condo.
Better
Communication
between
staff
would
have
been
beneficial.
