We usually stay at the Tamarijn across the street so it's tough to compare being right on the beach to being across the street from the beach. The staff at the front desk at check-in and check-out are great. The bell staff - amazing - immediate and friendly service! The restaurants are a little slow on service and limited on gluten-free options, but more relaxing than the buffets at the Divi or Tamarijn. The rooms are huge and accommodate larger families. Fun pools and a pool bar. Easy walk or shuttle ride over to the beach, Tamarijn, or Divi. We did the all-inclusive add-on which was convenient for our family. Would definitely recommend to others. Aruba is beautiful and the people there are very friendly....we've become frequent visitors.
