Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino

Beautiful, clean property located in close walking distance to all the shops and restaurants on the strip! Beach was beautiful and not overcrowded. Staff were all wonderful, friendly and very accommodating.

Restaurants in the hotel were all very expensive. Made it difficult to stay on-site for any meals or drinks at the bar, especially with a family of 4.

Excellent breakfasts at Laguna restaurant and courteous staff throughout the resort.

We had the buffet breakfast included in our reservation and it was worth it. It has all your normal breakfast selections. Staff friendly and helpful. The beach was clean and well maintained. Beautiful blue water & beachfront access with the exception of the whole "cabana renting" policy (see what I didn't like below). I just wish it was included in our reservation price so I didn't have to worry about it. Location is superb too. You walk out of the hotel and you have over 10 restaurant options. We usually had snacks by the beach and went out for dinner. Safe to walk around, the area is full of tourists.

The fact that you have to reserve your "cabanas"/Palapas, beach chairs. And by reserve I mean, either pay $40+ for 2nd row or go stand in line for about 35 minutes at 4:00 PM each day for the next day for a chance to get a free one, 3rd or 4th row in the back. I wish the whole policy was more clear and explained during check in or even during reservation. Having to track a staff to find out how we can just get a normal seat at the beach was a hassle and annoying, not to mention got expensive, especially we love to sit at the beach and not pool area. I just wish they were more direct and clear about the policy. Also to clarify, this applies to all beach chairs/umbrellas. They consider them cabanas. My first night, the hotel was overbooked so they transferred me to Hyatt, 2 hotels down, it was a bit of a hassle but at least I got the night comped for all the hassle of moving around.
