    We were recommended this supermarket by an Aruban. It’s the best supermarket we have been to in Aruba - Superfoods is great too but Ling and Sons is cheaper and has a great selection. I would really recommend this supermarket if you need fo go food shopping in Aruba

    One of the largest Supermarkets on the island, Ling & Son's is premier in product, location and service. Located at the beginning of the low rise hotel and the end of the Watty Vos Boulevard. The supermarket has a wide variety of products. What sets it apart is that there is a deli, fresh juice counter and a walk through food stand. Besides that it is compartmentalised so navigating through the supermarket can be done with ease. The isles are spacios and long. The pricea are on the higher end compared to other supermarket. I willbsay though, you can find producta and brands that are not available elsewhere. Clean and organised. The staff seem busy but polite. Multiple check out lanes and there is also a fast check out lane.

    It's a grocery store, it was dark in the store. Kinda like a hospital vibe. The produce didn't look all that great on my visit, so all I purchased were some grapes (which were delicious). They have an open salad bar setting for you to scoop what you wanted, which is ok if you're into that sort of setting nowadays. When I got up to the checkout, it was like the clerks didn't want to be there (maybe it's the lighting). @according2teau 👽🦄

    ~ extremely turned off by our "customer service" experience. After spending ~ $130 in our initial shopping trip, we returned to get our shopping bag which is FREE with a $50 purchase. However, we were told that we *had* to do that during check out... too late... no exceptions. really?!? the whole point of giving away the bags is to advertise and encourage people to return, no? instead we will be spending our $$$ at Super Food for the next 3 weeks... all for a silly bag that costs the store less than 1 Afl. not the way to build customer loyalty. Update: the Marketing Director (Marlene) reached out to me to try to make things right. We did go back and were able to get a bag, but the customer service person still made us feel like she was doing us a huge favor. IDK

    This was a disappointment for us. This is 100% typical US supermarket. So if you are looking for a Safeway, Hannaford or Shaw's you will feel at home. If you are looking for other foods, with more "local" twist then even in the Superfood you will find more. Other reviews mention hot bar with local varieties, but at 10 am it was closed.

    Ham and Egg sandwhich plus a French Vanilla Coffee under $5, amazing deal, besides the store being clean and the Lunch Buffet option is top of the line, try the Breakfast corner, where they have Sandwhiches, Wraps, Coffee, Pastechi, Batidos and fruits, amazing selection.

    Ordered groceries online to be delivered to our hotel as we did not have a car. We were given a delivery window of between 10-3. Groceries did not arrive until 4. The majority of our order was not available at delivery so we were credited which is disappointing but fine. Our bigger issue was that the foods such as milk, eggs, deli meats, and cheese were hot. Not even slightly cold. Food is not delivered from a climate controlled vehicle and ice was not used. We contacted the market about this and stated that someone from the delivery team would reach out. We were never contacted while still in Aruba so we did not receive a refund or replacement foods. My suggestion to anyone looking to order groceries while on vacation is to take a cab to the grocery store so that way you can be sure you are getting what you want/need and that your groceries will be properly cared for.

    Ling & Sons became almost a daily stop for me and my fiancé! This grocery store is huge, had a great selection of everything we needed (meats, fruits, vegetables, fresh juices, snacks, condiments and spices, deli, sunscreen and soaps, a food bar), and was very clean and organized. Be careful in the bread section…because it smells delicious and you’ll want to buy everything :)

    The food they make in the supermarket is not delicious, it is reheated. We bought corn tortillas, the expiration date is August 25 and the oil in the tortillas is rancid, filthy.

    Cannot believe a supermarket can be in business with literally 40% of items without a display price. Will not shop here again. Unless I win the lottery lol.

    3 cm colony of mold on top of 1 qt yogurt and no seal on jar of dried out peanut butter. And we didn't buy a huge number of items. Emploees super polite.

    This is as good as any supermarket in America. Except the prices are a little high. I get things need to be imported and there is cost associated with that....I just think the produce is over priced (why not buy from other Caribbean islands, not just the USA) and selection is only American. Processed food choices are very good, though a few items I bought were stale. Overall, despite this, recommended!

    Stayed at Aruba Beach Club and this is conveniently located. Large supermarket with lots of options. Most prices are in florins and US dollar. But if not, halve the florins then add 10 percent to get an approximate price in US dollars. Some familiar brands are similar prices, some very expensive, but there is usually a store brand that is affordable. You need to check prices but buying your own food is a nice break from eating out if you have a kitchen or kids!

    Nowhere to park, because almost all the employees and service people park in the customer parking lot, and leave the employee parking lot empty. I have complained about this numerous times, but the employees seem to be running the place. Parking lot is a disorganized mess. The entrance and exit lanes are always blocked with parked cars since these lanes are not marked and there is nowhere else to park. Parking spaces are not marked very clearly. Usually 50 to 60 employee cars in the customer parking area. I go there every week and several times I've seen Parking accidents because of the Confusion over the mixed up parking situation. Once you get past the parking, it's a excellent supermarket.

    Best place in all of Aruba for grocery shopping. Love their fresh vegetable and meat area. Very well organized store and very neat and clean. No matter what you're looking for they have it, including alcohol and fresh made food for take out. Very personable staff. And a very positive call out to our grocery assistant (bag boy). Brian. He was wonderful!!!

    Came well recommended! And for the tourists coming in, the prices are in FLORINS! I got some sticker shock but it went away as I paid. 🤣 (But some things are just more expensive as they are imported in!)

    Great super market and very fresh items.

  • 4/5 Constance J. 1 year ago on Google
    They had all we needed for this burger and sandwiches for our return trip home. $15 spent!! The people who worked in the store were very helpful showing me where items were that we needed.

    Great selection! I wish they had more pharmacy related items though.

    Great supermarket. Biggest selection. Wonderful fresh salads and cooked food to take away also.

  • 5/5 Anthony L. 3 years ago on Google
    Definitely our favorite grocery store on the island. Spacious and clean. Nice selection and plenty of space to shop. Pretty good prices too.

    A good organized store with decently priced stuff. If you're in Aruba and need groceries, you can go here and find everything you need. Also their lunches are very delicious and affordable.

    Just bought some ‘fresh’ ham and cheese croissants today (11/01/23). About 30 min after we left the store we wanted to eat them, only to find maggots (!) crawling around in the box. Disgusting.

  • 5/5 Dan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Yup Ling and Sons is the place to go if you're at the Divi. Good to get snacks and necessities for the room. Beer selection is OK.. fun island stuff. Don't expect to get what you buy at home though. Nice to try the local brews. Beer is generally expensive in Aruba.

  • 5/5 Jason B. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this grocery store. Was there about 4 times while we were on vacation. Has everything you need. Great fish selection cheeses. Alcohol lol.
