Hotels in Esmeralda

"The beds were ultra comfortable. The rooms were clean and modern. Santos and Peter and Jayden made the stay extra memorable, going out of their way to help and make recommendations. The hotel is super close to everything and walkable everywhere. The infinity pool is beautiful. Everything is lovely at this hotel. "

"LOVED the hotel and the staff!"

"The Holiday Inn Aruba is in a great location, right on the beach with easy access to nearby restaurants, shops, and activities. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, and the beach area is one of the highlights of staying here. Rooms are comfortable enough, but the property overall is starting to show its age and could benefit from some updates and renovations to match the price point and expectations. While it offers convenience and a beautiful beachfront setting, improvements to the facilities would make the experience even better."

"I had my concerns prior to booking this property due to it being further away from most activities. However, after spending a week there I will say my wife and I had an AMAZING time. The property itself is impeccable, the staff are very friendly and will greet you anytime they walk by, the drinks are excellent and they do have top shelf I did see items like grey goose, Titos and hennessy to name a few. The food was fantastic, breakfast and lunch are buffet style and then for dinner you choose one of their restaurants, Tierra has amazing steaks but the others were good. As someone who has traveled to about 20 all inclusive, the food here was def top 3 in my books. The beach is pristine and only a 90 second walk, there is a trolley available for those not capable of walking that distance. They have two main pools, a quiet pool overlooking the beach and the other pool being a little more lively with a DJ playing music from the bar. The only downside, and it may not be a downside for everyone, was that the entertainment is limited. They do have pool side activities in the day time but night time activities are limited to a diff live band every night between 8-10 pm followed by Karaoke between 10-11 at their sportsbar/night club. After karaoke the DJ will play music until 1 am or so. I did rent a car at the airport so I did travel around the island and was amazed to see how many people were downtown. My wife and I were happy we chose this location as it was less crowded."
