“For me? ... the Perfect place to stay!”
I have been to Aruba seven times and will continue to return every chance I get. It is truly One Happy Island! In my opinion? ... the Holiday Inn Sunspree is best value on the island. It is in the heart of Palm Beach which makes it easy to walk in either direction and access food, drinks and entertainment. May I suggest the Bugoloe on DePalm Pier? - awesome people, great food and evening entertainment. The all-inclusive is a great value if you enjoy having island drinks/beer during the day whiile enjoying the sun and sand (you will save money over the buy-as-you-go option). The food is good to average. If you prefer a high-end hotel this is not the best option for you. Yet, it is clean and the service is prompt and the people are great!
“a very good experience at the Holiday Inn Aruba”
We had a very positive experience at this property. Our room was updated and the bedding very comfortable. Aruba Tower with a Superior Oceanview room. The beach is great as is the pool. We heard one woman say she has returned there for many, many years. It was our first visit but certainly not our last. The location is outstanding. We had a rental car but it really is not necessary as there are numerous restaurants in the immediate vicinity. One of the wings is entirely closed, and we do not know the reason. However, the other wings had many guests. All in all, I can say that it is a great hotel, especially considering the price we paid for the room; it was well worth the money!
“1st time traveler....”
Great location at a reasonable price...friendly and helpfull staff ...all with good view from my fifth floor location. Would recommend this hotel for anyone. Palm Beach is a wonderful destination.
“.”
I just make a recommendation, Improve the internet, the access code is only one device per room.
“Nice place to stay with kids”
We took the all inclusive with 2 kids and we loved it. You have to sign for everything, which is different then other all inclusive, but the kids were able to sign also, so it was nice because they could get food or drinks whenever they wanted. We had the ocean front room in Bonaier tower and it was great. It's a step above 3 star. We stayed there in January 09 and we would recommend it to anyone with small kids. There were also nice shows across the street, and a lot of shopping.
“Very nice”
The hotel was great we did get a little tired to eating the same thing for breakfast. The meals were good but need more variety with menu on buffet bar.
“Great Hotel, Lots of Kids”
I took my girlfriend to Aruba for our Summer vacation just before we returned to college and we stayed at the Holiday Inn. When we arrived, we were impressed. The hotel was much nicer than the pictures and the rooms are extremely comfortable. We chose not to do the all inclusive and you don't really need to do it unless you are going to drink a lot. There are plenty of restaurants and a mini mart across the street from the hotel that satisfied our needs. The beach is beautiful, the island is amazing, and we could not have asked for a better vacation. Very relaxing and very enjoyable.
“we plan to go back to aruba”
everything was very pleasand at the hotel very beautiful very relaxing one of the best hotels in aruba very convinient to everything .
“A Great Hotel with a lot to offer at a great price, I will go back again in 2010”
Hotel was great for the price. Very clean and service was great! We had no problems. On the beach they let you stay in the beach chairs way after sun set which was good because 5:00 was to early since the sun set at 7:00. I also would like to state this is the only hotel as close to the beach as you can get for walking. All the other ones on Palm Beach you have to walk a ways to the hotel (room).
“Will be back next year”
Great hotel, clean rooms and bathrooms. Location is excellent, lots of places to eat in the surrounding area, movie theater across the street and bus transportation to get downtown right outside the hotel. Beaches in Aruba are fantastic anywhere. Great hotel for the price.

Area:
Palm Beach, Aruba: The question on Palm Beach is this: lounge or live large? Theres a reason the major resorts and clubs are located near these calm waters. The beach is an ideal place to do absolutely nothing, with a cold drink in hand. Theres also swimming, golf, horseback riding, ATV rentals, and plenty of water sports.
