Great hotel on the beach - awesome pool & it has a casino

Would have been nice to get the welcome drink but no such was given. Room had mold around slider and toilet was continuously filling/slow to drain. Location wise great resort about 20 minute walk to shops. Biggest complaints were the cabanas, when booking online during free for all map is flipped and they don't mention it anywhere so the top of the map is actually the bottom so moving along it appears near the water but is not. Next complaint was the beach, they pack you in like sardines where you are stepping over eachother. Perhaps aruba just isn't for me but at 700+ a night just ridiculous.

We came here on our honeymoon and it was wonderful! Even though it’s not all inclusive, we enjoyed the meals at the hotel and on our own! There are two pool depending on the environment you are looking for. The staff were so kind and helpful!

This hotel is located in the "mid-rise" section of the beach, on Palm Beach between the Ritz-Carlton and the Marriott Ocean Club. It's a beautiful hotel - nice entrance to a spacious atrium-style lobby with some stores, the Lobby Bar (sushi), and Starbucks.

There are some negatives, to be sure, starting with what seems to be a common theme among hotels here: the thing you likely came for, the pool and beach, are oversubscribed. The hotel will tell you that your US$65/night resort fee includes a complimentary reservation of a beach chair and umbrella (Palapas), but you can't reserve until you're on-property, checked in, and on the hotel's WiFi. "Complimentary" Palapas are released at 4pm and 7am, but getting one is like getting Taylor Swift tickets. Refresh! Refresh! Refresh! Okay! There's one way in the back! Grab it! Too late! Unavailable! Try again tomorrow! Guess we're not going to the beach. The hotel uses a third-party system to manage those reservations, and it's mostly bait to get you to spring for a $30/day palapas reservation - which there are plenty of (and then you can reserve 3 days in a row if you wish.)

Pool chairs aren't "reserved" through that system at all. Here, it's first-come-first-served, starting at 7am. That means people line up starting before 6 - while it's still dark out! That's not much of a "vacation". A chair left unused for more than 2 hours is released for other guests. Both pools have a poolside bar (a swim-up bar in the main pool) and you can also order any drink or food via any waiter or Marriott's app.

There are two pools. The "main" pool is shallow (3 feet, except for a small section near the waterfall net/volleyball), with a DJ most afternoon (fun but loud) and the swim-up bar (usually crowded). It's not a pool you're going to really swim in. It was fun, sort of, once, and cools you off.

The H2Oasis ("adult") pool is amazing. Far larger than it looks in pictures. Serene, with towering palms over it; seating all around the edges, just wonderful and refreshing and perfect to float and look up at the sky.

You need your room key to get into, or out of, it. Which is a small gripe: you have to carry this card around all the time. Why is it not a wristband??

The same system that lets you reserve palapas lets you reserve any of 9 cabanas at H2Oasis, for $250. You get a small refrigerator and a small selection of water/juice/fresh fruit. It's definitely not worth it. Despite a "ceiling fan" you can't feel, the cabana blocks the breeze more than it does the sun. It's hot, and you get one small uncomfortable sofa and a chair, plus the lounge chairs you could have had anyway. Basically, you're paying that much to have poolside seats without having to get up at 5am to wait in line for them.

The beach is beautiful and the water temperatures there is perfect. The bottom feels like soft sand, and then - suddenly - clay, which is actually created via decomposing seaweed so it's more "mud"; not a factor really, but weird to step in. The water was blue but cloudy - can't see the bottom near the beach.

There are no locations (other than Starbucks) for a quick, lighter bite. Like a typical resort, everything's engineered to steer you towards rather expensive choices for every meal. In the morning, the Starbucks will have a 15-30 minute line, and it doesn't allow online ordering but does have room delivery (for a fee).

Speaking of expensive, the Stellaris Casino was a huge disappointment. Mostly run-of-the-mill slot machines (which in Aruba are notoriously very "tight"), and $25 minimum bets on everything else except roulette ($5). Banish any thoughts of a pleasant yet fairly inexpensive evening here. Fortunately, it the rest of the hotel is non-smoking.

Overall: It's an amazing experience - and the attention to detail is impressive for any Marriott.

Very nice! Casino is super! Staff extra friendly and helpful.

Super place to stay. Room service burgers were good. Beautiful beach in front of the hotel. Suki & Sylvia take good care of you in the cabana area. Easy walk to Playa Linda shopping center. 2nd stay here-- stayed in adult-only Tradewinds section of the hotel.

Having a great vacation at the Surf Club

Excellent place to stay in Aruba. Beautiful resort with both a larger all purpose pool and an adult pool. Excellent service along with staff to plan your excursions. A big shout-out to Joe Wayne. Restaurants on the premises for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and when our travels bring us back to Aruba, will stay here again.

Very nice, fun casino

Beautiful place. They treated us like princesses, it is very beautiful and comfortable.

Didnt stay here, but went here for dinner on the beach..it was fabulous! Service was top notch and the food and drinks were excellent. Great experience

A 5 star experience like no other! Amazing service at the Tradewinds portion of the resort. Great views, beach and amazing hospitality and staff! There are many reasons we found guests who visited this resort time and time again, year after year. Looking forward to coming back to this one! Marriott brand at its finest.

The Marriot is idéal for enjoying Aruba beaches and all this One happy Island offers. BON Bini..🙂

Fun spot - Live music in the Casino - Bar service was suitable for the large crowds there were serving - Great spot to gamble.

Food service takes over an hour after initial order.

Great location and amenities but the walls are very thin and you can easily hear neighbors. There aren’t any vegan options in the property’s restaurants, but you can make several alterations to 1-2 dishes.

We loved aruba, and the resort was so nice.
The only complaint is the paper thin walls.
We will be back!

Stayed at the Stellaris in Aruba for 2 nights before moving into the Marriott Surf Club in January 2024. We had booked a room with King Bed but they only had 2 Queens for us. I am Lifetime Titanium with Marriott and they can’t even provide a room with a King Bed. We have stayed there many times in the past with no issues. Very disappointed in how it was handled with no apology or credits for now providing what we booked. Would have stayed elsewhere if we had known of the issues.

Excellent hotel
The beach hotels are all connected so you can walk and drink on any property.

Phenomenal resort, embodying and displaying the BEST of the Marriott service and attention every minute and at every turn. From check-in to check-out, our stay was superb. Great location. Amazing beachfront with inviting huts, crystal clear water, and always-on attention from the staff. Pool area was also great, with swim up bar, lounge chairs, and plenty of space. The lobby has a delicious sushi restaurant, several shops, and a gelato place that is a MUST EAT (try the Peanut Nutella!). Easy inside access to the Stellaris Casino for adult fun. Main restaurant is now the "Mercat"... serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great food, very organized, and super clean. There's also a Ruth's Chris Steak House on site that's AMAZING. No shortage of things to do, easy walks, etc.
