Hotels in Bakval

"We have stayed at the Barceló 4-5 times. The staff are amazing and the food has improved tremendously since post Pandemic. I will say my husband and I are highly disappointed that the Barcelo no longer maintains the water features for the iguanas next to the buffet due to an ignorant guest that decided to hand feed an iguana, supposedly was bitten and then said they were going to sue the Barcelo. I truly believe the Barcelo should be supportive of the iguanas since they are native to Aruba and are protected. The guest should be banned from the island and retrospectively sued for not complying with the rules to not feed the wildlife. "

"The staff Clean the rooms everyday everyone is so nice, the whole island has that vibe, we would definitely stay again. Food is good, recommend Gingers and make sure you get your reservations in the day before. If you don’t see them on the resort app(recommend your download), go to the concierge desk to set it up. "
