Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive

Being our first time to Aruba I was definitely not overly impressed. We stayed at the Tamarjin resort, which definitely needs some updating. The beach here was absolutely gorgeous. We walked out the slider and we were on the beach. However if you don't wake up early enough you can forget about getting a chair because there are certainly not enough to go around. The bathrooms have been renovated, while they look nice, the shower has no door and the whole bathroom gets soaked when you take a shower. The cleaning staff and bartenders were very good, I can't believe the people that don't tip these people. Though it is their job they go above and beyond and I believe a little extra goes a long way. The food was decent but not extravagant. The cards you have to buy for internet system seemed to be a scam, they definitely shave extra time off. Aruba in general was beautiful and I felt very safe traveling about the island. Maybe it was just the time of year but it did feel like I was in a nursing home. Maybe it is just the economical times showing but there was an extremely older crowd of people. Night life at the Tamarajin is lousy at best. They do have nightly shows which are very good, from circus/ acrobatics to saxaphone players. But after the shows the place clears out and everyone goes to bed. Would I go back to Aruba? Not until I'm 20 years or more older, I will fit in better then. Would I stay at the Tamarajin again? Maybe, it is lowrise right on the beach, you can't beat that, however there are other resorts with much much better ammentities. I may try one of them.........in 20 years.

it was alright, but it wasnt what i expected for the money spent. its a long flight and it was extremely crowded on the whole island. the temperature was the best part of the trip. I would suggest getting a pre tan before going to aruba. the sun is extremely hot and close.

Plastic toilet seats...terrible shower heads..bring your own. They just need to spend more money. It's all going to the Divi up the street. So stay at the Tamarijn, but spend you're time at the Divi...grounds are much better.

This was a perfect romantic getaway to a beautiful Caribbean beach! The hotel has decent food and many restaurants to choose from, many of which require reservations, which the hotel concierge will be happy to help you with, as well as answering any other questions you may have. The staff is terrific and very patient and friendly. Our room was just steps away from the sand and gorgeous blue Caribbean, just outside the sliding glass door. If you want a beach chair, there are plenty but you should claim yours before breakfast, as the best ones go quickly. Night life ends early at the Tanarijn and adjacent Divi (beautiful walk along the boardwalk between the two!), so you may want to venture "off-campus" in search of later activities, but you may have to do some homework as the island seems to turn in early for an early start. Maybe it's a seasonal thing? We were there end of January.

The best part is that all the rooms are right on the beach. The staff are all very friendly.

Aruba is beautiful. The Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive was okay for the money that we spent for this trip. The resort needs a good over hauling to say the least. Our room was okay, small. We had two double beds. A little tight if you would have more than two adults. The food was good. The Red parrot at the Divi was our favorite. Drinks were good. Would I stay here again? Not sure. If you are looking for a great beach and nothing fancy, this is a good property. Remember this is a low rise...with that being said, depending of where your room is, you may need to walk a ways to get to the lobby, restaurants and pool. Lots of childrent too.

the beach is very nice. lots of space. good water. not many water activities, but nice and relaxing. staff was mixed. ive had some amazing waiters, concierge, etc. and some not so good ones. rooms were on the smaller side, but the beds very great. shower wasn't the best. food was pretty good. more than enough things to do for the average vacationer

The staff was great. The food was okay. The rooms all need a facelift. The tub in our room was chipped, and it leaked. The ceiling fan was loud and noisey.

Great location if you love the beach. Felt like we were on a private beach which is what we were looking for. Hotel staff were accomodating but check in really didn't tell us things we needed to know. Resturant and bar staff were not always very pleasant to deal with. We would probably stay here again.

the hotel was very good ,except when it rained real hard. it leaked a little. the food was very good.the only bad part was they aloud people to smoke at the eating place that was out in the open. the beach was great!
