Ryokans in Aruba

"Our accommodations were very conveniently located close to the beach, and we were very satisfied with the restaurants and bar service. The staff were top notch in keeping our rooms and the property clean and were immediately responsive to our requests. The only negative i can comment about has to do with the rude behavior of some of the guests who reserved a covered seating area next to the bar by spreading out their belongings to cover all available seats. They did this early every morning before they went to breakfast and stayed there until the adjacent bar closed for the entire week we were there. Jeannine Thiboutot Rm. 510 Vista 2"

"It was a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and the staff was great. I did see a mouse run through the Mercat restaurant on my last breakfast at the hotel. I would go back again. "

"Second time in Aruba and second time at Brickell Bay (TRYP). Love them both. More economical than beachfront, but only a 5 minute walk. Staff is amazing. In the middle of everything."

"Friendly staff, clean hotel. Definitely recommend. "

"Selection of food was plentiful and delicious. It was nice not worrying about making reservations. I would have liked to be able to take a salad from the buffet to the beach, but it was frowned upon. They do have hamburgs, hot dogs, chicken patties, french fries beachside during lunch. Again, it was very good. Many people bring "YETIs" or large metal drink containers for their drinks since the cups are about 8 oz. We did have dinner off site one night since we enjoy many restaurants on the island. The staff was so pleasant and accomodating. The beach area is large. The palapa reservation is a bit sketchy. We found the staff putting out towels on chairs at 3:30 am!! So when you arrive at the beach it looks as though all palapas are taken. Staff is available to "look" for a palapa. Some areas of the property need updating, but overall the property is beautiful. A bit disappointed in the gym facility. 1 out of 3 treadmills was in service as well as the elliptical. Plenty of free weights, pully area. I did not however, have an issue with access to any of the equipment when accessed at 7am and 4pm. Plenty of entertainment at night, and some skits are completely hysterical. Guests seem to enjoy them. Bingo activity at the pool during the day. Live music throughout the day. I was pleasantly surprised since we usually stay at The Grand Hyatt. "

"Every thing "

"Property was clean and professional staff"

"The rooms were a little lack luster but it was clean. The beds were comfortable. I feel it was a little expensive for the room but we were happy staying there and would again."

"This was was a great place for me and the kids. The staff was very helpful and kind. It's right next to the beach. it's right in the middle all restaurants. night time its live. "
