Parliament Building Tours and Activities

I paid fully through Expedia yet when I went to go check in, I was charged an additional $81.24 in “taxes”. Nowhere in the listing nor the confirmation email from the hotel did it state this would happen. Mind you, my total price paid prior to the additional fake tax was $402 (including TAXES and stay protection). $81.24 is almost 30% of my stay price. How does that even make sense? So serves me right for trying to go the budget route because between the scam tax + taxi costs because you’re pretty much in the middle of nowhere, I definitely learned my lesson.

The staff was rude and they didn’t have the rooms we had requested to accommodate us. And they didn't try to work with j us and come up with a solution…. The check in process was super long. I would not stay at this resort again.

This was my second of what I hope to be many stays at the Divi Phoenix. The Divi Phoenix is located at the end of the Aruba high rise hotel area on Palm Beach. It’s a little less than a mile from all the restaurants which is a flat walk down the boardwalk along Palm Beach. The location is far away enough from all of the activity but a close walk to it. The beach and pools are always clean and well kept. Julio was always at the beach promptly at 7am to put out my chairs. The rooms are also clean and well maintained. The staff is polite and helpful. There are 2 washers and dryers on site which is great for keeping up with wet, sandy laundry. The restaurant is a good option if you’re not up for walking or taking a taxi to the nearby restaurants and the bar tenders are always pleasant. I have all good things to say about the Divi Phoenix!
