Holiday Inn Sunspree Aruba Beach Resort Casino

Good hotel in a very convenient location, near lots of good restaurants and shops. Also, near casino & ample parking available.

The Holiday Inn looks great on the outside but leaves much to be desired when the cover is peeled back to reveal the inside, particularly if you stay in the Curacao tower. Service is very unfriendly for an island that has "one happy island" plastered on every license plate. The room conditions were borderline unsanitary. The bathroom plumbing was leaky and noisy. The shower would change from cold to scalding in a nanosecond. The walls are paper thin (thank goodness we were on an end). The beach and public areas are relatively nice although beach access is difficult to get unless you wake up at dawn. The hotel does seem to cater to families quite nicely. Its workout facility and spa were of decent quality. The casino was acceptable although they could have opened earlier to accommodate those that wished to wager on the NCAA basketball tournament. The restaurants were adequate although we found ourselves dining out a great deal since the options outside the hotel were much more attractive. I will return to Aruba but will not likely return to the Holiday Inn. read more

For the price I paid I was pleased. But if you're looking for nice, nice rooms go elsewhere. 1st time to Aruba & we stayed here for 3 days & then at a timeshare in the low-rise area. Ocean is better at the low-rise area, little fewer weeds. But, I really liked that you could take a few steps to go from the ocean to the pool in the high-rise area. There are also lots of stores and great restaurants in very short walking distance to the high-rise area. We didn't get the all inclusive and honestly unless you plan to drink a lot it isn't worth it at the Holiday Inn. The food was better at every place we walked to. Others guests who got the all inclusive were not happy. Overall- would totally recommend this hotel if you don't spend much time in your room. You'll like it if you want a "busy/active" area (I don't mean like a college party) nice for families and lots of activities/options right by you. read more

Good location. Ran out of beach towels.

Overall I'd say this is an excellent hotel. The room was comfortable and clean. Pool and beach are nice. Although a hut on the beach may be hard to come by. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Location is great, right in the center. Its beach is public and nice. But the reception is not working properly. I had a room available after 4 p.m. So, I had to wait for a while in this hot weather. The terrible hotel staff really lowered the satisfaction level. Its Italian food and buffet is great.

This hotel is located on one of the nicer beaches in the Caribbean. The room showed some signs of wear and general neglect, but was not a problem, just not closely managed. Housekeeping was not closely supervised or very attentive. But I could stay there again for the price we paid and the time we vacationed.

Since there was renovation going on, it was sometimes noisy. As soon as this is completed, it will be an excellent hotel.

Awful experience at this hotel!!! We arrived at 4 to check in - nothing ready due to lazy cleaning staff. Had to wait in line over and over again - sometimes up to 40 minutes. Finally had something available at 7PM! Went up to the room and there were no sheets on the bed and dirty towels all over the room - the room had not been touched! Had to walk back down to front desk and get a different room. VERY FRUSTRATING. Next day we requested a late checkout due to our inconveniences - request was honored however when we came in from the beach (wet and sandy) our key cards had been deactivated and we were never told that we had to have them updated! Really annoying. Very lazy staff, couldn't be more disappointed - awful way to start the trip. read more

Hotel location was convenient to restaurants and shopping and not far from the airport. Staff was helpful and friendly.
