Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club

We have been staying at both Marriott Ocean and Surf Clubs for a few years. Both are great resort. We've found Ocean Club more to our liking. It's more upscale than Surf and not crowded at all. We try to stay at the Ocean Club a few weeks per year. It's more expensive than Surf but its well worth it.

We just spent a week at Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club. Is a beautiful resort and we could not find a single thing to complain about. Taxi from the airport to the resort was $25.00. We rented a beach hut every day for $15.00 per day. Is money well spent. The pool area is beautiful and spacious. The resort is beautiful. The landscaping is out of this world. The word "paradise" kept going thru my mind. Food and drinks reasonably priced. We had maid service one day of the week and that was fine. The condos have everything you need. My only wish would be that they had a washer and dryer. But there are washer and dryers on each floor. Many restaurants to choose from. Casinos aren't vegas style and I don't think you would ever really win much if anything on the machines, but it was fun. Drinks are free if you are playing. There is a grocery store nearby, for $15 taxi ride. Our driver waited for us while we grocery shopped. We made sure it was worth his while, since he was so nice in offering. The airport doesn't open until 7 am, so if you have an early flight, don't make the mistake we did, in getting there at 6:30. The airport is very nice with quite a few shops and restaurants. We had a view of the Iguana sanctuary-which was nice. Lots of visible security, so we never felt that safety was an issue. I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone. Its absolutely beautiful, very clean. The beach is beautiful, one of the best places we have ever been and we have been to alot of places. Very family oriented. Loved it!

Without a doubt one of the best locations in the Caribbean! Aruba is safe and has a dedicated and friendly staff. The Ocean Club is perfect for families too. We have been 10 times. The restaurants are five star too. Enjoy!

We have been very pleased with the resort in total. Beach is reserved for Ocean Club owners and guests and not crowded like Surf Club's beach. Gorgeous property. Great for families or a couples getaway.

BEEN THERE FOR 10 YEARS SOME YEARS A MONTH AT A TIME , THE PLACE IS SUPER
