Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club

Muy cómodo

Al principio nos dieron el primer piso y se metió una iguana casi nos da un ataque al corazón Ponerle rejillas al balcon y lo otro que no hay servicio de limpieza si no 1 vez ala semana😭😭

After staying at the six times at Marriott Maui and Ko Olina Ocean clubs, we were excited to visit the Aruba Ocean Club. We rented a two bedroom oceanfront unit for our family of six. We came here with our four kids ages 13-20. My kids love hot tubs in the evening and on check-in found out that both spas at the resort are for people over 21. One of the three pools is also adult only. I wish I had known this ahead of time. Luckily my kids don’t care for pools and mainly wanted the beach. We checked in @ 3 pm and was told the lock off unit was available and the master suite should be ready by 4 pm check in. As we went to the lock off to store our luggage we saw the people in the master suite leave with the bellman around 3:30 pm. We didn’t get access to the master suite to store the groceries until 5:30 pm. Shalaika at the front desk said that’s just the way it was and it’s normal to get the suite hours after 4 pm.? The only redeeming person at the front desk to apologize and make up for the inconvenience was Toneesha. The pros to this resort is its proximity to the Stellaris next door. The resort is directly on the ocean so the sunsets in the evening are gorgeous. Angelica who runs the activities was very sweet and helpful. Housekeeping was efficient. This resort is great if everyone is over 21. If my kids are all 21, we would rather stay at Stellaris. For anyone with kids under 21, the Surf club might be better.

My wife and I were at the Ocean Club a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, a pipe in the ceiling above our front door burst, and the water came under our door. The kitchen, living and dining rooms which have laminated floors were covered with water. Luckily, none of our stuff was damaged, but the bad news was that the carpet in the bedroom entrance was soaked. The engineers tried to dry the carpet with a blower but that did not work, so they relocated us and our stuff to a new room and gave us a credit to our bill. Everyone involved including Camilo Cardona and his engineering staff, the front desk, housekeeping and the bellmen were very apologetic and courteous the whole time. It was a tough situation, out of their control, but they handled it with class. Kudos...

We just spent a week in a 2 bedroom ocean view room. There were 2 couples and it was perfect for the 4 of us although we could have slept more on the 2 pullout couches if needed. We lucked out with a top floor unit and we could see the sunrise and sunset from the balcony. The unit appeared to be remodeled and was fully equipped so that we could make breakfast everyday and we stored plenty of beverages in the full size fridge. The kitchen was bright with stainless appliances. The living room was very comfortable and the TV was huge so we could watch the game. We had a lock off unit on one side with a mini fridge, microwave, toaster and coffee maker and that would have been perfectly sufficient if it was only 1 couple. We really had no issues with anything - beds were comfy, unit was clean, water pressure was great - pools were beautiful - never had an issue getting pool chairs or palapas as I was worried about that. This place is really awesome - we will definitely be back sooner rather than later.

My wife and I have been coming since 2020. It is our “happy place.” We love the staff. Unfortunately, the shops are independent, covered by confidentiality, and this trip resulted in what we consider a “high pressure sales tactic.” The OC manager, in spite of her efforts, was unable to recover the $10,000 mistake that I was foolish enough to fall for. Trusting Seniors beware. I should have known better. I will not disparage the vendor in public, but I will be hiring legal consul. Not Marriotts fault. They are aware of my situation and hopefully will take “up stream” in determining future lease arrangement. I wish I was smarter, but care for this place and all who come here.

This luxury hotel somehow thought it was appropriate to give us a room where the windows were boarded up from floor to ceiling with plywood. Much like you would find in a condemned crack house. Look at the photos if you think this would never happen. It did. Bottom line - this shows the hotel and its management do not care about their guests or owners. I recommend that you do not stay here and definitely do not buy a timeshare here. Buyer beware!

We are owners at the Surf Club next door but just felt like a change and exchanged into this property. The pool had just opened with just some minor outdoor construction still in progress but might be done by now. We went November 8th. We were very happy with this property, from the size of the two-bedroom villas, to the cleanliness, service etc. We want to give high praise to Anita at the Front Desk who was so pleasant and professional from the beginning of our trip until we left. The on-site restaurant was convenient and quite good without being too expensive. The beach is busy, yes and you need to understand the palapa reservation system but it is not that challenging. Because of all the water sports and boat activity, yes, the ocean floor is not as firm and clean as Eagle Beach in my opinion but that's the tradeoff with having a lot of activities to choose from. Overall, we would recommend this property and do plan on coming back to it every few years in addition to the nearby Surf Club.

My wife and I had a wonderful time. It felt like being at home. I-Jon was a delightful bellman. He was so considerate, kind, and helpful. I really enjoyed him as a person. Lindsey, in the Aloe Shop, was a breath of fresh air. She was so personable, fun-loving, and kind. Rinaldo helped us on the beach with the chairs. He was so helpful, thoughtful, and hard-working. He really looked out for us. Diana (Dir. of Housekeeping) was also personable, kind, and went the extra mile to support our stay. Love these people!

We loved our stay at the Ocean Club! The staff were friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. They were eager to help us learn about things to do and places to go around the island. The pool was closed for renovations unfortunately but they made accommodations to allow guests to use the other Marriott resort pools. Lovely time!

I had a glorious massage on the beach at the Mandarin Spa hut. Viviana the masseuse was expert. She was gentle and quiet yet instinctively knew where my body was carrying tension and she worked on them. She used fabulous smelling oils that also contained ingredients that were good for my skin and hair, I paid for a full hour and it was worth it! I would highly recommend Viviana!
