Best hospitality ever!!!
I was at the hotel only for a few days but the level of hospitality that I received was excellent. The staff was extremely helpful. I had to cancel my reservation early due to an unforeseen reason. They were nice enough to cancel my reservation without any cancellation charges. The entire staff was very friendly and compassionate. They made sure that I was comfortable during my stay. I don't generally write reviews but I am glad to write this review and I cannot say enough good things about them. Highly recommend this hotel.

Good Hotel
This hotel was nice to stay in, but we found that there were much nicer pools, beach areas, and bars within short walking distance so we spent most of our time away from the hotel (except to sleep and shower). The breakfast was terrible, so we ate breakfast at a nearby hotel (cheaper and much nicer and with ocean view). Pago Pago was excellent, food and service. It would have been nice to have a fridge in the hotel, b/c we were tired of eating all meals out and not being able to have leftovers. Also would have liked to have had somewhere to store cold drinks and beers insted of relying on expensive hotel drinks. Premium ocean view was nice, great sunsets! Balcony was small but fine for two people to sit on.

Pack a cooler bag so you can take your own cold drinks down to the beach instead of paying for much overpriced drinks at the bar or gift shop.

GREAT STAY
From Sam at the door & Frank inside at the desk you couldn’t ask for more helpful staff. Rooms were ready upon arrival, Beds & Pillows were the best ever!!! Casino on site is nice as well as Andre J. was very helpful. All in all a great stay and get away just before the holidays.

A Wonderful Experience
As soon as we walked into the hotel we were greeted by a man that goes by Happy and that he was. For our entire vacation he greeted us as we walked in and out of the hotel with a smile on his face and something nice to say. When we got to the counter to check in Dany was incredibly professional, helpful and friendly. We had a small confusion with our reservations, but he quickly fixed the problem and even upgraded our room. Throughout our trip he was our go to guy, always willing to let us know where we should go and what we should do. Every time we walked through the lobby he had a smile on his face and always gave us a friendly greeting. He even had a dessert and wine delivered to our room for my husband's birthday! It was very thoughtful and just the extra touch to make our vacation even more memorable.

Great Place to Relax
The Westin Aruba is an amazing place to relax. It is the first on the strip of high rise hotels so the markets and restaurants are a 3 block walk, but for me that just means it is less noisy and more relaxing. The beach front is gorgeous and there are not a lot of people crowding all around. This is partly because its not right across from the town and partly because we go during the slow season (Sep./Oct.). This was our second stay and they were very consistent from year to year. Great service/staff, excellent restaurants, good view of the island and the ocean.

Azul is the Westin beach front resturante. They only have 5-6 tables available so making a reservation a week in advanced is advised. The food is delicious and the atmosphere (table in the sand, no shoes, sunset) is amazing.
