“DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This place is a total dump, except for the pool. The rooms are dirty, not enough pillows, only 2 towels in the bathroom. When we flushed the toilet it leaked at the bottom. We only stayed onenight, due to our flight being cancelled. The day of check out we could not take a shower, because the cold water faucet BROKE off. WE could not take a shower in scalding hot water. Upon check out I requested a discount and the front desk clerk refused to give us any discount. On we had to go without taking shower. The staff is friendly, but if you come all the way to Aruba...DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

“Bad Location”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010

If you stay here you should definitely have a rental car. There is no public transportation, and it's a long walk into town. There aren't many restaurants, etc. in the immediate area, and the nice beaches are near the main hotel district. The rooms are spacious, but average. Breakfast wasn't very good.

“Relaxing vacation stress free”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

I just returned from 1 week in Aruba. I can't stop raving about my experience at T.O.T.T. The newly renovated rooms were so clean and modern with new refrig and microwave. The staff treated me so fantastic. They found out it was my birthday and a large banner with balloons was placed in my room. It was a pleasant surprise and everyone lined up to wish me a happy birthday. People couldn't have been nicer. The local people I met were so friendly and each morning I walked to town. I felt so safe and secure. Since I was a returning guest everyone called me by name and made sure that I was not in need for a thing. I look forward to going back to this hotel each year but this year was special because of all the new renovations that I got to enjoy. They also had a promotion where you received 2 meals, your room and tax all included for one price. This promotion should be continued because it was definitely a marketing value. The meals were absolutely delicious. They were typical Arubian dishes and I got to taste Island spices and flavors that savored in your mouth. I had the best birthday ever thanks to everyone at Talk of The Town for making me feel so special.

The towels were mildrew, toilet couldn't flush, pillows were filthy, had to borrow iron from the front desk. They served watery eggs every morning for breakfast. Will never recommend anyone to Talk of the town Hotel. Had a great time in Aruba.

“Worth it”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2010

This was a really good stay. Not a fancy place but a real nice one. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Nice pool. And the drinks were great. No doubt returning there!!!!!
Pinchos on the beach across, nice drink and food as well. Don´t miss the sunset from the pier.
