"Choose this property and you'll have an overwhelmingly positive experience."

"Most everything was good but we had a bad leak in the wall of our first room."

"Friendly staff, clean room, beach front with great views, multiple pools and pool bar. Good food at the both food areas. Pure Ocean there was wonderful for dinner and desserts. Make sure to make reservation at front desk of resort."

"All the staff seemed new they were nice but not very knowledgeable about rooms or free amenities that the hotel said they offered. Our room ac broke and had to change rooms in the middle of the night TWICE do to the issue only being temporarily resolved."

"I’ve stayed at the Holiday Inn Aruba several times over the years, and in the past I would have rated it around 4 out of 5 stars. Unfortunately, the quality has declined, and at this point it feels much closer to a 3‑star experience. The rooms are in clear need of updating. The bathroom floor tiles were cracked and patched with thick, discolored caulking, and the same heavy caulking surrounded the shower base. Several wall repairs were done poorly, with patched areas painted over without sanding. The rugs were only semi‑clean at best. The service also fell short. When I asked a staff member for help with beach chairs—while carrying bags and towels for the kids—he simply pointed and said, “Sit anywhere you can,” offering no assistance. The interaction felt dismissive and unconcerned. It seems the hotel is relying on its excellent location rather than reinvesting in the property or the guest experience. Because of this, we won’t be returning."

"This trip was our third time to Aruba and first to the Aruba Marriott Stellaris. The Stellaris was outstanding. Cleanliness was great - micro level (bathroom, bedroom, hallways, patio, etc) as well as macro level (beach had zero trash, restaurants, pool area). We felt very comfortable everywhere on the resort. Staff was super helpful and nice. You'll interact with staff on the beach frequently for towels and chairs. They are happy to help and super pleasant. Waiters/waitresses were great. Chamber maids were happy and very helpful. Resort as a whole was beautiful and made our vacation great. You're right on the beach, which you can't say for all Aruba resorts. The casino is small but fun at night. We ate at most of the restaurants, which were very good and honestly, reasonably priced for food. Drinks were very high priced ($17 each) but happy hour made them closer to reasonable ($22 for 2). The beach was beautiful and had about 50 palapas (grass umbrellas). That's certainly not enough palapas for the whole resort so you have to reserve them ahead of time on the Bon Bini app. You can roll the dice and try for the free ones or pay $30 and guarantee one. We did both. Two criticisms we have for the resort - #1 Note that the 'Free Gift' is a couple hundred dollars in heavily restricted vouchers for sitting thru 90 minutes of time share sales pitch. Come on. #2 We were surprised at checkout with ~$400 of 'Resort Fees'. Overall loved the Stellaris!"

"Property is great, pool and cocktail hour were excellent. Beach across the street is a 6 out 10, but there are beaches left and right within a five minute walk!"

"My husband & I loved the property. It was cleaned & chic. The front desk staff were nice especially Juan Jose. He gave us a few tips about restaurants and the island. The hotel is closer to the beaches, restaurants and main nightlife. Breakfast each morning was a blessing. Will definitely recommend it and we will be back."

"will never stay anywhere else! the staff is attentive and friendly. perfect location, clean rooms and amazing views."
