“Beautiful resort”
We stayed at the Surf Club for a week at the end of September 2008 in the new "Navigator" building and were very impressed with the property. One bedroom units were clean, spacious and fully equipped (with stacked washer/dryer). This resort has a wrist band system for pool access which appears to have moderated the reported problem with overcrowding at the lazy river pool. The beach was a bit of a disappointment for us (after nine visits to Aruba we prefer Eagle Beach) but was being widely enjoyed by others. We rented a car because we travel widely on the island, but the resort is a walkable distance to the new mall and restaurant area of the "high rise" area (for pedestrian safety we suggest using the access road behind the resort, not the main drag).
“Aruba Marriott Surf Club *****”
Would go back in a heart beat. Place was everything and more that they said it would be.
“One Happy Island”
Marriott's Surf Club was wonderful! We fell in love with the Lazy River and having cocktails served on the beach :-) If I had to find one flaw, it would be that we were in the building closest to the beach :-) but farthest from the lobby & parking lot so lots of walking, but a fantastic restful vacation. They aimed to please to their guests.
“would stay there again”
room was very clean.we were a little confused at first as to where things were located eg pool lazy river,and the beach but after the first day we found everything we needed it is really a very nice clean place to stay
“Fantastic”
so beautiful best weather cant wait to get back there
“Can't wait to go back!”
Great place to stay in.
“Fantastic Layout and Amenities.”
Hotel is very modern and clean. The swimming areas are first rate and the beach is fantastic, only a two minute walk from anywhere in the hotel. Excellent workout room, recently renovated and expanded. Rooms are equipped with microwave oven, small refrigerator, and coffee maker. Our hotel hair dryer burned out on the first day and was replaced within 15 minutes by the maintenance staff. All hotel employees were very congenial.
“What we expected....”
Our trip was great and the Marriott was what we expected. We won't be in a rush to go back but will consider for future trips. A few things that bothered us were the same as most of the other postings. My wife and I are 30 with no kids and there is zero nightlife outside of the casino. The other thing that is really annoying is the fact that people can hold pool chairs for the whole day with their towel. I didn't think this would really bother me but it did. The last day we were there I walked out to the pool and swithed some towels and threw others in the pool. I would suggest you do the same. It was pretty funny to see the reactions.
“Great for families with kid.”
Hotel was fine. Room service was great. If you are a pool only person you won't have any complaint. If you wanted to go into the ocean for a swim you would have to walk over to the next hotel. The water area that was designated for the Surf Club was very muddy and smelled like rotten eggs because of gas pockets below.
“Great Place To Stay”
As always, the Marriott Surf Club is the place to stay in Aruba.

Area:
Palm Beach, Aruba: The question on Palm Beach is this: lounge or live large? Theres a reason the major resorts and clubs are located near these calm waters. The beach is an ideal place to do absolutely nothing, with a cold drink in hand. Theres also swimming, golf, horseback riding, ATV rentals, and plenty of water sports.
