Daliana at the lounge bar was fantastic. She was always very sweet and accommodating with our orders. She provided great suggestions for drinks and brought them to us really fast. And she gave our underage children soda, water and virgins daiquiris when they asked.

If you’re planning to go to Aruba for vacation, don’t think twice! Barceló Aruba did not disappoint as we booked our very first trip to Aruba and stayed here. The entire process from booking this all inclusive resort was easy and made for an excellent vacation. Accommodations were exactly what we needed and the suite was clean and the amenities that were part of the room service were greatly appreciated.

Jazon at the Japanese restaurant was one of the nicest most friendly person that I’ve met. He made sure that we had a fantastic dinner and a fantastic birthday for one of our guest. His customer satisfaction was unmatched and he was the best!!

Dear Guest,
Thank you for your review.

We apologize for your stay not meeting all your expectations. Our aim is to provide an exceptional experience, and it is apparent that in certain areas, we did not achieve our usual high standards. Our fitness center is designed to cater to a variety of workout preferences, and we regret to hear that it fell short of your expectations. We understand how important quality cuisine is to the overall guest experience and are disappointed to learn that our buffet offerings did not delight you.

We are delighted that you found our pool bar staff to be a highlight during your stay, and we're proud to have team members like Victor who are committed to guest satisfaction. Our staff takes great pride in delivering friendly and attentive service, and it's wonderful to know that this was evident during your interactions with them.

Finally, it is great that our staff's friendliness contributed positively to your time with us. At Barceló Aruba, we strive to create warm and welcoming experiences, and our team is a big part of that effort. We appreciate your kind words about Victor and will be sure to share your compliments with him.

We hope we can welcome you back in the future.
Kind regards,
