    The closest you can get to Paradise. Not as busy as the Highrise side. Perfect for families. The sea was only a few steps away from our patio door. Highly recommend it! Would love to go back again at some point! Loved it!

    3rd time here. It never disappoints. The food is exceptional (including the buffet) and the bars are so fun. There are no negatives like some other locations. The water is drinkable right from the tap, ice machines everywhere, on the island there is very little crime, no homeless folks that we’ve ever seen, no peddlers, no time share pushers, no scams or price gauging, they accept the American dollar everywhere, the staff at the resort are fantastic and everyone speaks English. You’ll meet new friends every day and want to come back again and again.

    Rooms were clean and the bed was so comfy. Loved the shower! The service was excellent and the staff was friendly. We thought the food at all the restaurants was very good! If you didn’t like something, you could send it back an get something else. The location was awesome!!!! If you like being close to the beach, this is your place! 30 steps from your room and you are on the beach to watch an amazing sunset. The cruise ships would pass by most mornings. The gym was the best resort gym I have ever been in! Truly relaxing and Awesome!

    Do not book here! Needed to cancel one person out of the girls trip we had planned due to the sudden and horrific death of her young son, which happened a couple of days after the cancellation policy deadline. They callously declined, charging us $1000 in order to make any changes or cancellations, and offered no consideration for the tragic circumstances. No credit. No refund. To be clear, we weren't even looking to cancel a room. Just remove one of the three people from the package, and we would have been happy to provide proof. Even the airline offered us a refund due to the extenuating circumstance!!! Incredibly short sighted and soulless. We ended up cancelling all together and booking somewhere else, where we will be happy to spend money and tip their staff generously. I understand policy, but policies are arbitrary and enforcement in this circumstance reflects the lack of humanity in corporate business. This disgusting place has lost great customers who travel frequently and hopefully a lot more who will read this review will consider spending their hard earned money elsewhere. I am generally not someone who leaves reviews, good or bad, but I will be posting about this disappointing experience on every platform I can to warn people of how this place does business. If they are comfortable behaving in this way under these circumstances with us, they will surely screw you over every way they can for much less.

    We had an enjoyable time at the resort. I thought the room, while decent were modest at best. Some upgrades around the resort would be nice. The grounds are not well maintained, the grassy areas were in need of cutting and treatment. There's several different types of lodging on the resort and I think 4 pools. The staff was friendly and attentive. We only ate at 3 of the restaurants, Paparazzi, The Red Parrot and the breakfast buffet. All pretty decent.

    Lesson learned with our first “all inclusive” family vacation. Check-in was great, most staff were pleasant and sociable. The resort was incredibly clean and felt safe at all times. The room views, weather, and water was stunning! Biggest issue was that for the week we were there, were only able to score reservations to the restaurants for 2 nights! The process to reserve a table was a HUGE hassle and waste of time - we tried all restaurants available through the 2 resorts too. (Even trying to go through the concierge wasn’t fruitful as we were told to just keep trying!) We ended up eating out and wasted a lot of money for the benefit of an “all inclusive”. And seriously… what is the deal with the guy that was blowing leaves from the rocks outside our room at 0700 every single morning! That had to be the most inopportune time to do such a task! A loud leaf blower right outside our room… every single morning!

    Tamarijn Aruba all inclusive resort was absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere, staff, food, drinks, and the amenities are fantastic. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the resort is family friendly. Not to mention the beach views from the room. A wonderful experience. The only thing I would say is there is wildlife on the resort a variety of birds and iguanas which I didn't mind but may be important to you. I highly recommend!

    Lots of things to do for kids and adults. Never had an empty cup or belly. Food is all fantastic. Service is a little slow, but that's island time. Everyone is super friendly. Very safe. Will return many many times.

    First timer, but will be back!! Loved everything...only one thing could be better. Their gluten free bread options at the buffet. Zero...there wasn't any which was disappointing but all other choices were great! Hopefully next time I do go they will have bread options for those allergic to wheat. 🤞Thank you for an amazing experience!!!

    The rooms aren't great, the shower hardly worked, most of the outlets didn't work (even after calling for repairs), & the water was very hard. The bed wasn't great. The concierge was pretty helpful, but the check-in employees need some work. On the other hand, the restaurants were good (Red Parrot & I think the Grill were the best). The Red Parrot being probably the best restaurant I've ever been to. Best view, great servers and food. The bar near the concierge, north-east of the main pool, was amazing. The bartenders: Anvin (?) & another guy who I think had 2 short names on his name tag, were incredible and funny. Best service I've ever had in my life and you could tell everyone else felt the same. Whatever those two are being paid, is NOT enough. Incredible people.

    Beautiful resort, 10 steps to the beach, food is great. Would have been a 5 Star; but speaker at the pool bar is blown and they won’t disconnect it. Very annoying … rattling all day! It would take 2 minutes to disconnect or replace! Just trying to be helpful! Cheers

    We were not guests, but myself and my wife stumbled upon your resort while walking on Divi Beach. We were able to purchase drink tickets from the from the desk and enjoy the amenities. We fell in love with the ambiance and hospitality. So much we are looking into booking at your resort for our next vacation. Thank you for your extended kindness and letting us enjoy your resort.

    Just left the Tamarijn resort. We had a wonderful time. Food and drink was good. Perfect for a family. Loved walking out of the room and being right on the beach. I would have given the resort 5 stars however we were disappointed that it's all inclusive but could not get into all the restaurants on their property because they were booked. Did the app at midnight and places said already filled.

    Great resort. The two storey buildings give the resort a small feel to it, but it is really spread out. Great food, friendly people and amazing beaches. Highly recommend it for both couples and families.

    The premium rooms were average with no bad experiences other than the bathroom power going out for an hour one day. The service all around needs improvement. The check in and check out process is very slow and the lines can be very long so plan accordingly. Plenty of times throught the stay there is a wait for a table at The Palm. The space is too small for the quantity of guests at the resort. The food was cafeteria grade with the menu pretty much the same each day. Location wise 70% of the beach in front of the rooms contain rocks on the beach or in the water making it difficult to enter the water. The rooms are spread out with the 1400 bldg being the closest to the main area and the 2500 bldg being the furthest. The beach at the 2400 and 2500 buildings was the best beach in front of the rooms. The walk to the main bar, specialty restaurants and front desk gets tiring real fast. The second floor rooms are only accessible by stairs. Overall the stay was average.

    I would never stay here again. The food was terrible. The staff was not accomidating, rooms were bsrley cleaned by housekeeping and the drinks are all watered down. My child would not go to the beach because of how rough the waters are on this end of the island and the boulders in front of our room. I did not see a kids club anywhere and no good activities on site. I would highly recommend staying somewhere else! The ads for this place make it sound great but it was the worst place I have ever stayed.

    We decided to do all inclusive and spent way too much money for what we got. Resort was outdated (the shower looked like the bottom of a dirty locker room floor), no stocked mini fridge, no extra waters (but water bottles without water in them?), coffee machine didn’t work in our room, no room service. Our room was super far away from everything such as the pools, restaurants etc., there was a pool that was DIRECTLY across from our room but they said it wasn’t part of the all inclusive package. Took forever to get drinks if you tried to get one. Drinks were watered down, not great options, lots of frozen watered down drinks. Food was not very good. The only time we enjoyed food on the resort was because of Ginger which was great. Trying to make reservations was impossible and if you didn’t make a reservation, you were stuck with just the terrace (buffet). They only had shuttle service to a from the resorts (Divi and Tamarijn) and to the airport. Staff wasn’t very friendly or accommodating. Thankfully we left the resort a lot to explore the island and went down to palm beach and did our own thing. Island is very safe and we enjoyed the shops and beaches. Had great food at a lot of the restaurants off site and made the most of our trip despite our disappointment in the Tamarijn. We will come back but stay elsewhere for sure.

    I would overall not recommend this resort for the price. Rooms were not clean. Sheets were scratchy and stained. The floors were dirty in the bedroom and bathroom. The fridge is not stocked, the food is OK but no late dining available. Pools and bars close early. We were kicked out of the pool at 8pm. Lots of screaming children. Not couple friendly. Room was infested with bugs. Healing still from all sorts of bug bites! Never experienced this before and traveled to 20+ countries.

    All inclusive services made for a great relaxing experience for us. We stayed there for a week and time just flew away. We had great access to the beach right at our door step as an ocean front accommodation. All facilities were easily accessible and the beaches and nature views were excellent. The facilities were top notch and the staff were friendly and dining options were good although if you are a vegetarian like me, don’t expect too many non meat choices among the restaurant menu options. However, buffet options were aplenty in the general lunch area. When there were a couple of maintenance issues in our room, it was addressed promptly. They go out of their way to accommodate any reasonable requests for the most part. I was particularly impressed by the gesture at the post- checkout process. We had a late evening flight, and the hotel staff happily accommodated and issued us a temporary pass to continue to use their premises even after the checkout until it was time to get to the airport. Overall, it was a positive and relaxing experience and I would recommend it to families who prefer a hassle free all inclusive arrangement.

    Great place to stay with kids. We had ocean view rooms. It was really good for the kids to wake up and go play on the sand. Resort is for sure kids friendly. Plenty of things to do around the resort. Gym was awesome as well. If you want to eat at one of the restaurants, wake up early because the lines gets long for reservations. Buffet was really good and they had different type of food every night. Staff was really nice and helpful all the time.

    Lovely place, the food is fresh and delicious, you must go there, I absolutely recommend this place! Steps from the beach out your doorwall and a pool right out your front door. Dinners at the restaurants were amazing , make your reservations early. The weather was outstanding, the same every day with no rain. We went at the end of April. Loved this place!!

    Had a great time. The food was amazingly delicious from the a le cart to the restaurants. The staff goes well out if their way to ensure you are taken care of. The beach and water was unbelievable. First trip the wife and I took alone in 5 years and was worth every penny. Did one excursion in the middle of our trip which was perfect.

  • 5/5 TT L. 10 months ago on Google
    This place is amazing!!! We ended up in the 1400 building, the first floor!! The first floor are the best rooms!! All the rooms overlook the ocean, but the first floor have a patio that takes you right to the beach!! I believe the 1400 building is the best!! If you stay here, ask to be in the 1400 building. This place is small and cozy. If you're looking for a luxurious place to stay, don't pick this place.

  • 1/5 Shenjuti C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointing experience! During checking the person at the desk kept saying he could not find husband’s name under reservation. We provided with all necessary info including passports, reservation confirmation number, etc. Mind you it was a super long flight due to a power outage that happened prior to us landing which is why we landed in Curaçao first and then were flown back toAruba again. With 2 small kids we just needed to check in so that finally we could get some relief. Here we are dealing with someone who is totally incompetent at their job. We reserved the premium room and specifically requested the oven front rooms with direct access to the beach. That was not possible as well. There was no hospitality but was simply given a bag and few pamphlets with a map. When asked about resort orientation we were told to simply follow the maps. No bottled waters in the room. Mind you it’s all inclusive! It’s only been a few hours and it’s the worst trip in the Caribbean thus far!

    The restaurants on Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive are great. Make sure to book in advance. Ginger is by far the best restaurant option and has the highest quality food of all of the options. It will be challenging to get a reservation but well worth it! The hotel staff were kind enough to accommodate walk in requests as well if there were openings. The beach location is perfect! It’s easy to find chairs and an umbrella to sit under on the beach. You will need to walk down a bit to get into the water since there are rocks in the way. We came for the beach and the water and sand were absolutely perfect. No need for beach shoes because the sand is powdery and soft. The water is crystal clear and we could see small schools of fish swim up. The beach was an amazing experience.

  • 5/5 Kimberly M. 6 months ago on Google
    We had a wonderful time at the Tamarijn Resort in Aruba!!! The resort itself was clean and lovely. All of the food and drinks were delicious. There are several great restaurants on the property. The staff was friendly and kind and helped us decide on excursions. We booked an ATV tour of the area and a sunset catamaran cruise through the resort. The pools were lovely and our first floor room open right onto the beach. This was a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to get back!

  • 3/5 Brian M. 11 months ago on Google
    There is no beach here, it is a short walk down at the end of the resort. The food is average at best. The must try restaurant here is the paprazzi. Buffet had same fish selection 7 nights in a row, NO GROUPER. The service is improved, but depending who you run across. If Roland is tending bar, go elsewhere, he is more interested in moving the plastic cups around than helping you. Would I go back? Yes. Probably.

  • 5/5 Marko K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice resort with several restaurants and tasty food. Clean rooms with direct access to the beach, very nice and helpful staff. Considering the short walking distance to Eagle beach (video), you will get a really good holiday.

  • 5/5 Candice D. 1 year ago on Google
    I love everything about this resort! The staff is amazing. The rooms are spacious, the beds are very comfortable and the ocean front views are amazing. The food is absolutely delicious and the drinks are strong! There is a reason I keep coming back! Can't wait until my next trip back!

  • 3/5 Sumon C. 1 year ago on Google
    Rooms are small. Restaurants are OK but not great. Most of the sand on the beaches in front of the waterfront rooms have been washed away. Internet is dead slow during the day but speeds up in the middle of the night.

  • 5/5 Jessica G. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything is top notch here - from the staff to the rooms! The buffet food is always fantastic and you had the added bonus of ala cart restaurants. Can't wait to come back!

  • 5/5 John H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great family vacation. Food was solid, service was great. Loved having access to a variety of dinners at the 2 locations. Hopefully won't be too long before we go back.

  • 4/5 Jimi M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very very nice place. Isis and Glays were both very helpful in us securing our oceanfront patio room. Staff was very friendly. Food was good at all restaurants. Beach was mostly rocky but not in front of our room. Room was clean, had a little air conditioning problem, no fault of the staff, mechanical things do break. Highly recommended. 4+. Would return anytime.

  • 1/5 Nic E. 1 year ago on Google
    They are discharging sewage into the ocean right that the resort…i found threads online about this dating back to 2005. I am staying here right now and just inspected a tank that looks like a septic take with an open end discharging into the ocean. I was hoping it was drain water (which it may be mostly) but there is little doubt in my mind that there is wastewater being discharging on the beach here. I better get my money back and they better fix this before it gets exposed…

  • 4/5 Kevin W. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly, great rooms, good service, entertainment. Coastal erosion, not much sandy beach tho. We didn't think there was as much choice in the main Restaurant or the satellite eateries since our last visit. Still good 👍

  • 5/5 Robert C. 1 year ago on Google
    Divi Tamarijn was an absolute gem! All-Inclusive, at a price you just can't be. They were in the process of upgrading rooms, and I have to say, they did a fantastic job! We stayed here for a week and I will definitely be back. All of the staff were amazing! The beaches were pristine! There were water sport equipment available at no charge. Plenty of pools and bars if you wanted to avoid the beach. The food was fantastic considering it was all-inclusive, and the dining options were fabulous!

  • 5/5 Lesley S. 1 year ago on Google
    Second time stopping in the tam third if you count staying in the Divi, as you can use both hotels. We chose to stay in tam because you are guaranteed to have a sea front view, but we preferred the Divi for the choices of pools and now which is very sad the beach. As there is very little of it left at the Tam. We liked all the restaurants at both with one exception which was pure lime (matter of taste and service on the night we went wasn't all that good). But Paparazzi at Tam was our overall favourite, you actually felt like you were in a normal restaurant, not in a resort one, they give you the choice of eating in or outside and have their own bar which you can go in just for drinks. Did find the new seating in both hotels (more so the Tam) a lot less comfortable than the old lounge type chairs all just hard plastic ones now☹️. Bit of advice is the sunbeds around pool with rolled up towels on are put there by the hotel (as bed covers as the cushions get hot) and are not reserved. So don't think that everyone is up at six to save beds, although some will always do this. The walk from these two hotels which by the way are not identical at all, is only a 10 minutes leisurely walk which the hotel runs golf buggies to and from all day.

    As always the Tamarijn was the perfect place for our vacation. Our vacation this year was for 20 days and it was our 20th trip to the island of Aruba and we always stay at the Tamarijn. Every local person we encounter while we are on the island and at the resort are truly genuine and kind. It is a great place to relax or go on daily excursions! The beach is wonderful...right outside your room! The ocean is amazingly warm and beautiful! We are looking for deals to book for next year already! The staff are all top notch! They work hard and enjoy their island! They are very welcoming! We can leave the resort on foot or in a cab if we want and we are perfectly safe. We have never had a problem. The island locals welcome tourists! We are looking forward to our next trip out! It will always be one of our vacation spots every year! In the photo attached with the huts, I was standing outside my room. You can see how close the beach is.

  • 5/5 DraMatik G. 5 months ago on Google
    This was one of the most amazing vacations myself and my wife have ever had from staff to food to restaurants. Everything was just amazing, the beaches, the surrounding areas. Everything we will be going back again for sure next year. Believe tha Aruba is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Make sure you get a chance to go.

  • 5/5 Jerome K. 4 years ago on Google
    Love this place, great people, been coming to this resort for over ten years and will probably come for ten more. The staff is awesome and the food is awesome. No complaints. The weather is always nice and the island is my favorite place to go to out of everywhere that I have traveled to in my life. If you have never been to Aruba you really need to come at least once to experience its glory.

    Amazing location, superb staff, food was great. I truly recommended to stay here. Is an all inclusive but you have options for tours and to even rent cars for one day. And the sunsets…just WOW!!

  • 4/5 Sarah A. 4 months ago on Google
    Awesome all inclusive! The facilities are beautiful and clean. The beach is amazing. It can be hard to get restaurant reservations and the app needs to have more up to date features, but I would still highly recommend!

  • 2/5 Gayane S. 4 years ago on Google
    Didn't worth the money I paid. Very disappointed. Rooms are very small. Barley could walk without kicking the furniture. All Inclusive is just a joke. Receptionist gave me the resort map, then started to make X on the restaurants that not included. Only 4 restaurants left without X. For 4 nights I paid more for this resort than for 9 nights in Holiday Inn. Which has better restaurants and the location. Rooms are ocean view, but no access to the beach... you have to have a walk and all big rocks were in front of our building. But some of them do... Kids Club...lol kids under 5 should be accompanied by an adult. And the hours... they shouldn't say they have a kids club. In one word, awful!!! Oh, also if you're not retired yet, DON'T GO!!! The best and the only nice person we sow in the resort was the MOC... manager on call. He was very friendly and listened to my complaints. Even tried to solve the problem... but no success. I'm still recovering from my mistake. Didn't do research before booking. And you can cancel the reservation 30 days before, after that it's not refundable.

    Nice boutique all inclusive. Great location.

  • 3/5 Bryan M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Honestly it's just OK. The food is just not good. The beach is rocky but the view is incredible. I think the staff is amazing. What really brought the experience down was having to have a reservation for sub par restaurant at an all inclusive. Ultimately the price didn't match the product after the third day had to go into town for food every day. I would rather have paid for every drink and meal than be buried in mediocrity. $4,000 could go miles elsewhere for 7 days.

  • 5/5 Matt R. 4 months ago on Google
    We've stayed here 5 times over the past 15 years. Always beautiful. Much of the staff has been there since our first trip and they're all gracious and attentive. 7 food options, all of which are terrific. Quick ride from the airport. No crazy frills, but always a great value file the price.

  • 4/5 Conociendo A. 4 years ago on Google
    Beatiful beach, nice hotel, bad lobby service. Rooms only 10 feet away from ocean. Need to reserve restaurants 48 hours before. White sand, beautiful ocean, calm for kids. Lots of chairs. Great food at restaurants. Close to Oranjestad.

  • 5/5 Therdsak S. 4 years ago on Google
    04/11/19 - 04/17/19: 4.75 out 5 - Honestly, I wasn't looking to do this trip as it was going to be a bit of travel from Portland, Oregon, and that it was going to take away from my time with my business. Admittedly, it was worth it! The Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive was a nice and simple all-inclusive resort. The Tamarijn is also part of the Divi Aruba All Inclusive which will allow you to go try the activities, bars, and restaurants at that location. The Tamarijn Aruba rooms are on the beachfront and with plenty of air conditioning. There are water stations everywhere (I highly recommend to stay hydrated throughout the day even while you are drinking it up). There is cleaning service everyday, which the crew are great! The Tamarijn Aruba also has plenty of places to eat. Easiest of course would be the buffet. Theme changes everyday, but it's good. The other restaurants, you will need to make reservations at the Concierge. That will applicable to the Divi Aruba's restaurants, as well. There is a game area with outdoor billiards, ping pong tables, yard chess, and shuffleboard. If early enough you can check out bikes and helmets to ride into downtown Oranjestad. The Tamarijn gym is nice. I happen to partake in its usefulness. Lots of exercise resistance machines, good range of dumbbells, ellipticals, and treadmills. The treadmills look out to the ocean while the ellipticals look out to the sandy beach. There is towels available and a water station. There are clean bathrooms at the lower level. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, moreso with friends and family. If you ever get a chance or opportunity to go to Aruba, then this is place to stay. Enjoy!

    Absolutely LOVED our stay at the tamarijn. My husband and I went for a honeymoon and we never had a bad moment. From the food and entertainment every single day to the views and activities available, we had a blast and will definitely be going again.

  • 4/5 Sue S. 4 months ago on Google
    Enjoy the Tamarjin and it's staff so much this was our 27 visit. Food is good, service is amazing. They remember us each year and make us feel right at home. Beach isn't always easy to get into but water is always clear and refreshing.

  • 5/5 Raffi H. 5 months ago on Google
    I stayed for 4 nights with my wife for my birthday . 1st time in Aruba . It was so much better than I expected . I read reviews before going and a lot of negatives were mostly about the food and buffets . For example 1 review said they had the same fruit every morning …. But they neglected to say that there was 7-8 different kind of fruits /day (what more could they have provided)? At the buffets they had different ethnic themes every night (so reviews saying food was always the same , not sure where they were staying ?) Service is the same as you would get in the USA. If you’re expecting them to bow down to you (like some of the other less developed islands) , they wont . The drinks were great . The bartenders never said no to anything . We were provided two reusable water bottles in our room the first day which was wonderful . At the bars they would fill any bottle or cup you had with any drink . The whole complex was very eco-friendly. There were no plastic cups , bags , straws …. Anywhere !!!! For my first trip to Aruba the Tamarijn set the bar high if I ever stay at an other resort ! Thank for the great memories !

    If you love waking up to the ocean view and the crystal blue waters, this is the place for you. This has been my second time here and I absolutely love it!

  • 1/5 Žaneta K. 5 months ago on Google
    We only wanted to have a drink and pizza at the pool bar two days ago. Because we saw the pizza oven. After 15 minutes of waiting we were sent to pay at the hotel reception. But the staff at the bar was rude and vulgar to the guests, so we decided to leave and not to have anything. I can't imagine being a guest of a hotel complex and someone treating me like that.

  • 3/5 Gene Y. 4 years ago on Google
    The bars were the best part of this place, common areas and entertainment were above average. The room was horrendous, housekeeping ok at best. Food was nothing special. Will not revisit, no value for the money spent. Have done all inclusive before, this would be at the bottom of my list.

    Our 1st visit to Aruba and the Tamarjin Resort. We loved it! The resort is beautiful and the people are very nice! We did not feel unsafe at any time either! The bathroom is a little small but no other complaints about it 👍🏽. The food was good too! My only other complaint 🤐would be the cocktail drinks; not much alcohol but a lot of sugar/syrup . Still a great resort!!

    Every small thing that could go wrong sort of did here. The check-in process took over 45 minutes and there was only one person in front of us that entire time. Our room was a 10+ minute walk from the main area (and that was for two young and able-bodied people). They have a shuttle that can take you to and from your room or to the other resorts, but they either take a long time or never come when the bellhop calls them so most of the time it wasn’t worth it. The room was fine, but was really average for being a “premium” room. It wasn’t visibly disgusting, but also wasn’t very clean. All of the soap dispensers were rusted, there was soap residue/grime in the shower, as well as a cockroach. The coffee machine in our room didn’t work, and the sliding door had a broken handle so anyone could have walked in to our room. The hotel staff promptly fixed the door when asked, but we didn’t notice until late one evening so we had to sleep with an unlocked door. We paid extra to be right on the beach, but our strip of beach was full of seaweed. We spent most of our time walking to Divi’s beach since that water was much nicer. The most frustrating part of this stay was the food. There is only one place open for breakfast and lunch and it’s cafeteria style. We aren’t particularly picky eaters and it was difficult for us to eat there by the second day. The food quality was poor, foods were sweet when they shouldn’t be (the marinara sauce) and the salad was the only light option, but the lettuce was limp and brown and you can’t pour your own dressing. The food at the dinner options is better, but it didn’t really matter because we couldn’t get reservations anywhere. We didn’t go during a peak season, and even trying to get reservations three days before (as soon as you’re allowed) we still were only able to get 2 dinners during our 6-day stay and both were at the same restaurant. It seems like they potentially added more rooms without adding any additional food options because it was really unbelievable how difficult it was to get a dinner reservation, especially when there’s no “walk in” option. This isn’t really on the resort, but there was an absolutely bizarre incident during which a man who didn’t have appear to have anything to do with Divi approached our group while we were walking back to our rooms around 9pm and tried to sell us cocaine. This was particularly troubling because we weren’t even on the street side of the resort; we were on the boardwalk that is between the rooms and the beach. In general, everyone who worked there was wonderful and helpful, unfortunately, there were so many little things that we basically didn’t want to even bother people with them.

    Very disappointed with the quality of food and drinks. We had better luck finding decent food at the buffet than the specialty restaurants. The service was poor- staff were just rude. There were no activities for children - no playground, no kids pool area or shows. Staff at registration refused to help call for a van to the airport for our family of 6 with 2 kids and a handicap person. We were told we just have to take what’s available. One of those available drivers made a call for us and a minivan arrived within minutes. Waste of $300 per person per night.

    The resort is awesome. Right on the beach, and pretty decent food. However, one of the cleaners stole a bottle of my expensive cologne from the bathroom while we were on the beach. Also, the entertainment is seriously lacking. If I go back again, I would like to stay at this resort, but hang out on Palm beach for entertainment. They don't even have a swim up bar at this resort. Contacted the resort about the stolen property, but no response. I won't knock the whole resort because of one bad apple, but they do need to know that they have employees that are stealing property. Review would have been much better if they handled my complaint.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place the beach is a dream with the rooms overlooking it and a few meters from the sea. The food is very good and varied rich drinks the pool is small compared to others all inclusive But in our case we use it little we prefer enjoy the sea. The place where the shows are held at night is also small but very beautiful and a lot of good vibes. (Original) Hermoso lugar la playa es un sueño con las habitaciones con vista a la.misma y a pocos metros del.mar .La comida es muy buena y variada ricos tragos la pileta es Chica comparada con.otros all inclusive Pero en nuestro caso la usamos poco preferimos disfrutar del mar.También es pequeño el lugar donde se hacen los espectáculos en la.noche pero muy lindos y mucha buena onda.

    The food and dinning is great, the views are stunning.the customer service is agreeable. What was lacking was the actual room. The bed was so hard I'd be surprised if it wasn't made out of bricks, the shower was really old and had poor pressure.

    Tamarijn is closed and they are not sure when it will be open. At arrival guests that suppose to stay at Tamarijn will be redirected to stay in Divi. I just don’t understand why they do not mention it anywhere and why you still able to make reservations when the resort is closed.

    Paparazzi was recommended to us by two different groups of people but was lackluster. The food was ok but the fact that it was served lukewarm dropped it to below average. Our servers seemingly forgot about us and we never got our dessert that was part of our prix fixe menu. After trying to flag someone down for 30 min we gave up and went home. One and done with this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Doug L. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible all inclusive resort. The vibe is very chill, the service is excellent, and everyone is so nice. Food was pretty good mostly, I recommend the Palm Grill, the Red Parrot, and Pure Lime. Ginger was meh, just not very bold flavors and I think they should pick a single Asian cuisine rather than going fusion and not getting it right. The bar food also meh. The drinks were ok, definitely ask for double liquor and tipping is not pushy at all but you should do it for good service. I would say the drink cocktails they came up with are good but they aren’t good at making drinks off that list. The front desk will send shuttles for you to get to far parts of the resort as needed. Beach access is everywhere and awesome, but people just leave their towels on a chair the entire vacation so sometimes it’s hard to find a spot. The show we saw was also lackluster but the activities are vast and awesome. All in all am amazing spot we’d absolutely come back to - good for kids (but not too many to annoy you if you don’t like that)!

    I have frequented this resort quite a few times and I love it. HOWEVER…I was just there in February and somehow I was booked for 2 people yet I was traveling alone. I’ve spoken with the resort and they are being incredibly uncooperative in refunding the difference to me. They haven’t responded to me as they SAID they would after a few conversations. I should not have been charged at that time since I was only one person. VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE and I will choose another resort next time.

  • 4/5 Scott L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice hotel. Second time here. Starting to get a little run down unfortunately. Staff is really nice and good is good. Beach had obviously been hit really hard over the years. Where there used to be beach, it's now rock protecting the hotel. You need to walk towards the Divi to get to usable beach. Where last time we said we'd brindle return, this time it's a probably not. Might go to sister hotel, Divi, next time. It's been kept up better.

  • 4/5 Heidy M. 1 year ago on Google
    Ocean view for all rooms is just perfect. Just have to step out your balcony to be just a few steps from the sea. Food at the buffet and all restaurants was great. Drinks generally watered down but that happens everywhere. Overall a great and conveniently located place. I do think rooms are much too pricy though.

    I had a wonderful experience at Tamarijn Aruba. Every staff member I encountered, from the check- in to the cleaning staff were delightful and eager to help! Bartenders Betsy, Adrianna and even DJ Bradley. Our room was located literally 5 steps from the ocean with peace and tranquility. Although, I expected more in the room for the price but it was acceptable. After showing up, I was told into sending an email for an extraordinary birthday inflatable or whatever designs to feel exceptional. Nothing was done to my room. Ms. Brenda and I had an exceptional discussion about my disappointment and hurt. She tried fixing it :( On my birthday, we booked “De Palm Islands” because flamingos is my favorite animal. Complete waste of money! The staff at the desk was not knowledgeable of anything but running our credit card. She didn’t explain “We would have to scramble for beach chairs.Clearly she should explain the cabana rentals”. Also, I could have had a private space with the flamingos as a special treat. Full day pass Entire day pass of rocky ocean side, pungent lunch, watered down beverages and laying among millions of “cruise, local and bus folks” in 100 degrees. Jessica, do better next time. The hotel encourages people to use concierge with persons with no knowledge. Disappointed. My massage was AMAZING!!! Very important part of my trip. Red Parrot was great food. Bar food “eh” need more. Breakfast needs more options for none meat eaters. Entertainment was great; thanks to DJ Easy B. Divi seems to be the great night entertainment. Really enjoyed my last night.

We were treated like family at the breakfast buffet each day by Imelda! All of the bartenders and wait staff were fantastic! The food was great everywhere! The facilities were immaculate. Can’t wait to go back!

    See my reviews on TripAdvisor and know we will never go back! Juan Carlos in the food court needs to be fired!! All is explained on my longer review on TripAdvisor. I suggest reading it. WORD OF WARNING! So we had an incident back in December on our vacation at this resort of which I have made a review on here already regarding a Juan Carlos in the food court. As I have figured, there was no response from anyone from this resort or the head office of which I sent a registered letter to regarding this incident and emailed the resort itself! If one has an issue while at this resort, don't expect them to care or do anything about it!! While your there, they will pretend to care and "look into it". Otherwise, you will never see a response from either manager or the owner/operator regarding your said concerns or issue. We will never go back to this resort and find it really sad and pathetic that the concern was never addressed. A resort should handle all concerns and respond in a professional manner to the customer within a reasonable amount of time. I figure three months is more than reasonable. I have seen other resorts respond to reviews left on TripAdvisor either bad or good, and find that the ones who do respond have pride in their resort and care about the customers. Tamarijn only cares about your money and nothing else!

😠 Very disappointed. The room we stayed in looked nothing like the promotional photos they use. The kitchen is ridiculously tiny and barley functional. The bedroom is in the center of the unit and has no windows (meaning no beach view again unlike the promotional photos). The bed felt like plywood...
