We
recently
returned
to
this
property
after
more
than
20
years.
It
is
one
of
the
older
resorts
on
Aruba,
but
with
several
changes
in
ownership,
they
have
done
a
nice
job
of
keeping
up
with
the
maintenance,
and
it
is
still
a
very
nice,
modern
resort.
The
pool
area
and
the
beach
are
wonderful!
Especially
the
beach
-
beautiful
sand,
lots
of
mature
palm
trees,
wonderful
turquoise
waters,
plenty
of
beach
chairs
at
no
extra
cost,
and
great
service
on
the
beach
from
the
Barcelo
staff.
The
food
options
are
only
slightly
above
average
-
the
Italian
restaurant
was
great,
but
the
buffets
could
use
some
improvement
(quality
and
variety).
The
drinks
are
great,
and
the
staff
are
wonderful.
Bartenders
at
the
pool
bar
serve
up
a
fresh
drink
just
as
you're
finishing
one!
And
the
servers
are
friendly,
prompt
and
efficient,
especially
Vanessa.
We
loved
her
smile
and
laugh,
and
hope
to
see
her
running
the
place
in
a
few
years!
There
are
great
places
to
eat
and
shop
just
across
the
street
if
you
get
tired
of
the
buffet.
Overall,
it's
a
great
resort
and
a
wonderful
island!
