"Great hotel for anyone!"
The experience was beyond our expectations. The hotel was very nice, the location and scenary was absolutely beautiful. The only thing we would recommend is lowering the price of the room service.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Expensive drinks"
Grounds and the lobby were kept clean. Drink prices at the hotel are very over priced. Other items expensive but not as bad as the drink prices.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Retirement present for mom with two daughters"
Loved proximity to the beach, staff was friendly, had a great timeGenuine Expedia guest review
"BEAUTIFUL"
LOVELY hotel amazing staff and i cant wait to return..Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel for couples and families"
overall quite a good experience. We are not interested in gambling, so the on premises Casino was of some concern, but it was non-intrusive, and easily avoided. The beach was nice, but it is important to get in line for a hut early (before 730am), otherwise you will miss out.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great for the price."
Very happy with experience. Staff very willing to help and please you. Beverly at the desk is very friendly, kind and professional.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Very Relaxing"
We had a excellent stay. Took diving excursions with Red Sail everyday during our trip and they were wonderful. No craps table in the CasinoGenuine Expedia guest review
"Wonderful hotel and stay!"
Great hotel! This was our second stay and I would go back in a second. The casino is one of the most popular on the island and the pools, yes pools plural are amazing! Loved it! La Vista had a excellent breakfast buffet that kept us satisfied through lunch! Overall great stay!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Return to Aruba"

"Aruba Mariott"
Overall, this hotel is very nice. Restaurants on site are pricey but very good quality.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great time in Aruba, but..........."
To be such a nice and upscale hotel, I was very surprised in the sheets on the bed, like sandpaper. I read that on many reviews, so the hotel has to know that visitors do not like them at all! The only other issue was the ac, it was comfortable but not to the level it read, we had it on 60 the entire trip, never got to that temp. BUT the hotel was over […] all very nice, we truly loved our 5 nights at the Marriott. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Decent stay for couple of days"
The Marriott was clean and staff was nice. Its not a big hotel so you wont get lost. The beach is couple of steps away. I wish the pool was bigger. The restaurant "Simply Fish" is over-rated. It has a great sunset view. You also are sitting on the sand so thats nice. But with the price you pay the food is not good enough. The hotel is also at the end […] of the strip so its about a 10-15 min walk into the main shopping and party scene. Overall it was a pleasant stay. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Aruba Marriott Stelaris"
We had a very nice time during our stay, no complaints. Hotel was clean, comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. The restaurant on the beach was very romantic!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Spring Vacation"
Great location, had a premium ocean/pool view room. If you go ask for a room in the north wing, because in the afternoon the sun is very bright on the south side. The pool has a great with swim up bar. The beach is fantastic, but you have to get there early to reserve a hut which you need because the sun is very hot, thank god for strong breeze. The […] restraunts serve great food but kind of price'y. You can walk to a number of good food places down across from the Holiday Inn, which is just down the beach. The drinks at the bar are price'y also, when they have happy hour it's only on select drinks and beer is not included. If you drink beer buy your own and keep it in the room, all the rooms have refrigerators. p.s. bring a small cooler to take to the beach, to carry beer,soda,water or snacks. You can do a lot of water sports at the hotel beach which are run by different sports groups. We rented a car it give's you more options for getting around, taxi's can get price'y.

"Best spot, right at the end of all hotels!"
Great hotel in a great location! We had room with view partly ocean and partly construction site -but who cares!!! We woke up, got dressed and went to the beach, come back after sun set, took shower, got ready and left for the dinner and drinks, then come back late and went to sleep! So we didn't care about the view!!! However, if you are a person who […] cares, make sure you book garden or ocean view!! Hotel's property is great!!! Everything is right there!!!! We spent most of the time at the beach -loved frozen drinks which you can order there not even moving off your chair!!! Staff great -they let us check out 1hr later without any problems! I requested a cake and champagne for my partner for his b'day -they took care or everything, plus gave us extra gift from the hotel! Close to everything! Best and cheapest restaurant in the hotel is Champions (karaoke nights are SUPER! However we tried buffet at other restaurant for $35 you can eat all you want. Also they have sushi place and a little cafe where you can buy something for breakfast -not so expensive, but all is in the hotel so be ready to pay a little more! Not a fan o a casino, but went there once! We swam in the pool at night which was great! I you get chilly, you can get in the jacuzzi! There is plenty to do for everyone!!!! Beautiful place!

"Do NOT eat at the Sushi bar!!!"
Overall a very nice, friendly, clean hotel. Pools are gorgeous and the grounds are kept very nice. Inside is always kept very cool which is a God send in HOT, HUMID Aruba! Housekeepers are very friendly and do a nice job. Restaurants are, of course, pretty expensive but very good food! Our only complaint was the SUSHI BAR....DO NOT EAT THERE...THE […] SUSHI IS HORRIBLE!! We have never had such awful sushi! It was literally worse than grocery store sushi and both my friend and I sent it back (which we never do). We simply could NOT eat it. Fishy, salty, and very rubbery! YUK! Then when we sent it back the lady was rude about it and did not offer us anything to compensate for the bad experience (her name was Nubis I think). Other than that, our stay was very pleasant.

"Overall you will be satisfied"
One of the more beautiful hotels on the island. The staff was great -one bartender but you can't have it all. Everybody's very friendly and attentive. 4 out of 5 is understated i would say 9 out of 10. Prices are reflective with other top brand hotels i.e. Hyatt/ Sheraton.Genuine Expedia guest review
"The best in Aruba!"
Always pleasant, professional personnel. We won't think of staying any other place but the Marriott! Margaret is exceptional at the Tradewinds Club.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beautiful hotel - excellent location and service"

The adult pool is a paradise with helpful staff - thank you Jorge. One recommendation - wifi in the room woulld have been helpful. We would only stay here next time we come to Aruba. Many tha […] nks. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good Stay at the Marriot!"
The sheets were like sandpaper. We also paid extra for "Premium Ocean View" and i was staring at the tops of trees (that's misleading) unless I was on my tippy toes... i can see the water in the far distance. Floor 5 should not be consider "Premium." was disappointed that wifi did not come up to the room and I had to pay for it... every Marriott I've […] stayed at its been FREE so I wasn't expecting that either. Otherwise - hotel was very clean, staff was kind and enjoyed the food and casino. Easy access to the ocean... and help getting cabanas was nice!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"WONDERFUL RESORT"
We stayed at the Marriott Aruba. We really enjoyed our time there. The staff , ecspecially Nora at the lobby snack bar and everybody nice in there hospitality. The hotel is also spotless and beautiful. We definetly recommend this hotel. there are couple of the things they need to work on 1) get wifi in the rooms. They only have wifi in the lobby 2)They […] should have pocker room in the casino.Overall, we would definitely recommend this hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Aruba Marriott"
As typical with all Marriott's if you haven't been to one lately your pretty safe in knowing that it's going to be a nice hotel and this was true for this Marriott. I haven't stayed here in over 15 yrs but returned recently to find that although it had changed in appearance it was still as nice as it was 15yrs ago. Did note that for the quality of the […] hotel the carpet in the room looked a bit worn and actually saw a stain. The hotel is a bit pricey but if your on vacation and want to be assured that your in a great hotel it's worth it. Got a premium ocean view room...it was worth it. Was payed back each evening with a great sunset. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"The Marriott is awesome!"
The staff at the Marriott was so friendly and courteous to our family! The resort was very clean and was such a great place to stay. We have been to Aruba three times and to different resorts, and by far without a question we enjoyed our stay here the most! I would recommend this Marriott. To anyone looking for a fun, clean and friendly place to stay […] on your vacation! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"The best hotel on the island"
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. I gave it 5 stars for everything but the comfort of the room. The only reason I give that a 4 was because the bed wasn't the most comfortable I have slept in . But by far not the worst mattress I've slept on either. The hotel is IMMACULATE. The staff is extremely nice, going out of their way to make you enjoy […] your stay and always saying hi, good morning. The food was DELICIOUS! We ate lunch twice at La Vista. I wish we had dinner there as we heard plenty of good things about the buffett. We ran out of time though but when I come back to Aruba, I would stay here again no question. The beach is amazing. We rented a palapa every day so we didn't need to get up early. The adult pool reminds me of Vegas. We had a lot of fun after the beach there for happy hour. Our housekeeping staff made us a swan one day and a flower basket another day out of towels. Very pleasant and welcoming. We got an ocean view room and it was worth the extra money. Spectacular view of the sunset every night. I cannot say enough good things about this place! I can't wait to go back!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great trip"
The entire staff could be nicer. Food in all the restaurants was very good. Pools and beach were very nice and clean. I would recommend this hotel to any one. Holiday week was a little crowded. People in Aruba are the nicest people and make you feel very welcome.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good overall experience"
Nice hotel, small pool but enjoy it a lot wih my kid. Clear sand and cal water beach... Confortable rooms. Penalized staff because of a bitter service by a waitress at Sushi bar and becuse we never got soap "refill" at our room... First time it happens to me at a Marriott. Close enough to malls and restaurants... We enjoyed a lot the 15 minutes walk […] through the beach. Just out of the hotel there is an Arubus station but never used it.

"Great and Relaxed Vacation!"
This was my first Visit to Aruba and I was delighted by the Hotel atmosphere, reception and friendliness as well as cleanliness and green areas. The beach was awesome and my family had a great time, will definitely return. The food at the Hotel overall was expensive however my recommendation is to go to the front of the hotel and take a taxi to town […] where you will find the best food ever. Wonder around and enjoy Aruba.! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel, great beaches"
My wife and I had a great time at this hotel. Most of the staff was fantastic..front desk, concierge, beach attendants, etc. Didn't like the attitude from a couple staff members at the adult pool (when they were available...this is my only negative). The beach is amazing, and it was great to have an option between the adult pool and the main pool area. […] It did seem odd that the main pool has a swim up bar, but the adult pool doesn't. As nice as everything was, do be prepared to show up early at the beach, or one of the pools...otherwise, good luck finding a good spot. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Aruba. HINT: If you stay here, use the bus system for going downtown. It is a $15-20 taxi ride one way. The bus is less than $2.50 round trip per person. The stop is right in front of the hotel, and the buses are clean. It is also very easy to get back on the bus back to the hotels. We made 3 trips downtown. It would've been over $100 to take taxis. Instead it was less than $15. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Beautiful but not friendly"
Facilities were very nice, I would recommend. My wife and I have been to Cancun several times, Jamaica, Cayman twice and now Aruba. Out of all these places, Aruba has the least friendly people, in general. Not just the hotel staff, but other visitors as well. They weren't really offensive, just not pleasant at all. At times, the staff seemed put out […] by us, and some other visitors would literally run into you in the hall or lobby if you didn't move out of their way, never make eye contact, smile or say hi. Not sure the nationality, but we have not ran into this anywhere else we have been. With that said, Aruba is beautiful, again, the facility was nice and I would recommend, this behavior wasn't horrible, just not as good as other places... If I choose next year's vacation, I would prefer Cayman or still Aruba because they are the most beatiful out of the places I mentioned. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A Return Visit to Aruba and the Marriott Resort"
This was a return visit for us to the Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino after about five years. We were pleased with the redecorating that had occurred in our absence, the addition of an adult pool, and the adjustments made to procedures related to everyday guest requests such as pool/beach chairs and palapas. All were positive changes that we felt […] added to the enjoyment of our stay. The most notable change, however, was the overall resort atmosphere. We have always been impressed by the services provided at the Marriott but this time there was a viable feeling projected by staff that they wanted our time with them to be the best ever. At first we thought we had just been served by an overly conscientious single employee, but during our stay we recognized the friendliness of the staff was sincere and across all service areas; registration, housekeeping, beach towel dispensing, room safe repair, dining, etc. Each vacation has its memories but this stay at the Marriott for us was unique; we fondly remember the first names of staff members who made our vacation so special. The Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino guests were multi-generational which made for a festive, welcoming atmosphere. We recommend the resort for all age groups. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"wonderful beach experience"
The rooms were clean and the staff friendly. The pool is large enough for all who wanted to use it. The plants and decor around the pool make it very inviting. The beach is great. We had a great time eating or getting a drink at the Waves restaurant right on the beach. The view of the ocean and boats were wonderful.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Will Go Back"
We thought that everyone was very helpful and nice.The food was good. Reserve hut at beach before you go otherwise you take your chances of having any shade. Wonderful and quiet adult pool no children. Everyone we met were returned visitors so that says alot.Genuine Expedia guest review
"nice place"
overall impression is good, the place is clean despite presence of some intrusive flies around your plate when you eat outside; stray dogs passing by on the beach; support staff speaking very little EnglishGenuine Expedia guest review
"MARRIOT STELLARIS...ARUBA"
My husband, 4 year old daughter and I went to Aruba and stayed at the Marriot Stellaris Hotel and Casino. The staff were very friendly and nice. They were always concerned that you were having a great time. The hotel was nice and the rooms very clean. Every room has a great view...overlooking the beautiful beach or garden view. I think the pictures […] on the website make it look much nicer than what it was. I seen the newly renovated Hyatt and it's beautiful!! If you have kids..the Marriot Surf Club is a better choice. More upbeat, lazy river pool, and huge pool slide. I'm not complaining..we did have a fabulous time and it was very relaxing!! If we went to Aruba again, I would stay at the Hyatt..REALLY BEAUTIFUL!!

"Very good experience at Marriott."
My wife and I vacation in Aruba annually since 2005. This was our first stay at Marriott, however and the experience was very good. The hotel is in excellent condition. Even so there is an on-going construction of Ritz Carlton next to the hotel we were not destructed by it at all (our room faced the construction site). The beach is good to. The only […] complain is that there were a lot of little flies around palapas close to the towel hut. Other than that everything else was perfect. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Aruba's Paradise"
The hotel is amazing. Very Clean. The staff is amazingly friendly. Our room had a few issues, but we contacted the manager of housekeeping and it was immediately taken care of, as well as we received money credited towards our room charges and the treated us to lunch and drinks in the beach our last two days there. The staff at the Marriott try to do […] everything to make you happy. I've been going to Aruba for 20 years & would reccommend the Marriott 100 %. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
