"We loved our stay and it was perfect for our family of 4. The separate living room and bedroom areas were great and the balcony was a highlight with it looking straight out over both the pool and to the sea beyond. Easy walk to beaches and great location on the island overall. Pool and other amenities (and happy hour) were also wonderful."
"Room was updated and beautiful. Buffet was good. Always something to eat. Staff was helpful. Beach chairs need to be resorted at 6am (think Hunger Games). À la cartes did not take reservations and so we ended up going off the resort to eat - which was fantastic. I would recommend this hotel for families with small children but would likely say you don’t need to do an all inclusive in Aruba. "
"The hotel is truly excellent and exceeded expectations in many ways. From the moment of arrival, the experience was seamless — check-in was smooth and welcoming, complemented by a lovely touch of a champagne welcome drink.
The location is very convenient, just a short 300-meter walk from a variety of restaurants, making it easy to explore dining options nearby while still enjoying a peaceful resort atmosphere.
Breakfast is outstanding, offering a wide selection of high-quality, delicious food and drinks. The setting makes it even more special — the breakfast restaurant is located right by the beach, providing beautiful morning views that enhance the entire experience.
Dining at Ruinas del Mar is also a highlight. The restaurant has a unique and charming atmosphere, surrounded by water features and fish-filled pool, creating a relaxing and memorable setting. The dishes are flavorful and well-prepared. While the service could be improved slightly, it does not take away from the overall positive experience. The rooms are spacious, modern, and recently renovated, giving a fresh and comfortable feel throughout the stay. Overall, Hyatt offers an exceptional combination of comfort, location, and ambiance, making it a great choice for a relaxing and enjoyable stay."
"Great location near beach, stores and restaurants. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Room was ok. Bed was comfortable but living area needs improvement. Overall, very nice resort."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was right on the beach with access to two pools. Breastfed buffet offered a variety of different food and was 2 min walk to a cafe on property. Directly across the street was evening entertainment from restaurants with live music and many vendors. I found it to be very walkable to mini supermarket and butterfly farm."
