Aruba

It was great, no complaints about anything

The resort was lovely, clean and the food was excellent. Buffet can use more variety. There must be a policy that people can not hold palapas the entire day and not use it. There needs to be many more palapas for shade. For the amount paid it's a service that was lacking. Staff excellent. Shows are to late at night. Perhaps 9 instead of 10. Our server on the beach Ralph was excellent and made our vacation.

Location is in the middle of Eagle Beach and has all you need for a base to explore the island. Accommodations were clean, all amenities provided and pools were great. Only negative is onsite dining. Tony's Pizza has spotty service and food is ok, Double Down sports bar is not much better. Lots of good restaurants nearby.

Overall we had an amazing experience, the hotel the food the staff everything was excellent. Wished I was aware of the ground rooms to the ocean and the pool however aside from that the resort was excellent.

The DV golf resort is beautiful. It's clean. The food is excellent. The pools are beautiful and the weather in Aruba is great. The issue with the DV golf is that they cater more to their timeshare clients then they do their all inclusive clients. When you arrive, they immediately want to sign you up for a timeshare appointment. In regards to the food, it's excellent, but they want you to sign for every single drink and every single meal that you have, even though it's all inclusive, every single receipt will request a tip. Since the majority of their guests are not all inclusive, They do not offer all inclusive entertainment. My experience with all inclusive, it includes the food, the drinks and the entertainment and activities (Usually with an activity crew to encourage Participation). They had very little activities for all inclusive less than one per day. They had no activity crew for entertainment or activities. We also experienced issues with our TV, not working, which we had to make three requests to have it fixed. They attempted to give us the general answer that this is just the way the cable is On the island. However, we spoke to our neighbours and they had all of their TVs working so we were forced to challenge them and make multiple request before they actually made an effort to fix it. We also had some problems with our dinner reservations, where the concierge told us we had a reservation and a few days later when we arrived for our dinner, we were told we were not On the guest list. The Divi golf Has everything they need to make it world class but they have dropped the ball.

Enjoyed our week at the Hilton as we typically do. Staff (subject to one exception) are friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed staying at the Holiday Inn for the third time now, although the staff at front desk/reception needs to step up the game in their welcoming and being a little more friendly and accomodating to the guests. The food quality is fantastic. Super comfy beds.
