Clean and has everything from Starbucks to Sushi to shopping and casino fun. Spacious rooms and onsite jacuzzi and ample pools to laze around in and even a huge gym. Lots of free parking if you choose to rent a car.
Great resort. Very nice staff.
However Don't order food or drinks at palapa huts unless you want to wait a long time. Not unusual to wait hour + for anything you order. Even longer for food. No other issues.
Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. Hotel had a great beach and pool area. Was a bit more expensive than I normally spend, so I'm not sure if I will return or not, this is the only reason for the 4 stars.
Beautiful views, outstanding service-- be prepared to wake up early for palapas (4am), umbrellas (6am) and chairs (easier to find at adult pool).
First time in Aruba and stayed at this wonderful and beautiful hotel with my wife and our grown kids. The staff was so friendly and helpful with any request. We had a ocean front view which was incredible. The rooms were spacious and clean. The lobby area had a Starbucks and inviting bar area and lounge, it was a place to be before heading out for the night. I can't say enough about our stay, only wished it lasted longer. To the Marriott staff, thank you for a memorable trip and we can't wait to come back!
Not bad at aruba! I love this hotel! Everything is nice here! The food is great! And there is a bar in the pool which is pretty cool! I would stay again!!!!
Just returned from our stay at the Marriot Stellaris Aruba and cant say enough about how much we fun we had. Food was great! Had a great time at the casino and both pools/beach cant be beat. The best part about this place however, was the staff. Brandon, who works in the adult pool, went above and beyond to make sure that our trip was unforgettable. He gave us the rundown on our first day and then checked in with us again each day after to make sure that we were enjoying our stay. Very friendly and personable, always had a smile on his face. We looked forward to him talking with us each day and was a major part of our great time at the Marriot Stellaris. Already planning to return ASAP!
Hotel was fine, but u have to pay for everything..for umbrellas on the beach and even for breakfasts that r included.. almost every day we had to go to reception to argue with the managers about it, they blocked money on our card for everything and told us that this is fine, money will be back in 4-6 months!! Just amazing.. people go to holidays to spend money here and now, why do we have to wait when all our money will be unblocked in 4 months? The hotel is not bad, but the service is 2 stars. Although i would recommend young people stay at eagle beach, the sea is more alive and nice there, on palm beach was too boring and lots of boats.
For me the best resort in the area. Friendly staff, good accommodations and very comfy. Excellent pools. Love the breakfast Buffet. The beach at the area is the same as the rest of the resorts. Good services and restaurants.
People are fantastic. We have been coming here for 10+ years. I admit might be reaching but starting contacting them in May to get upgrade if possible for Wife's Big BDay this year!
Gold Elite member 3 years and always appreciate a responseeven if no we can't help you. Love this place and you will too. Just disappointed with the lack of response. Also, I have never requested special services from them before and two years ago they had a BDay fruit plate waiting for my wife. Outstanding customer service back then.
Wonderful stay gorgeous beach front property with great access and amenities. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, great bathroom (and bath supplies). Good on property restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Amazing view from room. Very comfortable bed. The bathroom was fantastic also! The people and staff are extremely friendly. Very eager to help. They were kind enough to cater to my food allergies as well. I came with a broken ankle and wearing a boot. Everyone offered to help or get me a wheelchair for easier Passage. Definitely would recommend this resort to anyone! Wonderful experience!
Are you serious? Its called strike three and you are out! Almost Totally ruined expensive vacation. NEVER AGAIN. I do admit it is a beautiful hotel with a wonderful Beach and most of the service peoples are amazing. Don't shop at the jewelry store big rip off. When I got home and took it to My Jeweler told me it was made in China couldn't even identify the stones properly!!
Great property with adult only pool area which was a nice option when kids were playing in the pool or using the volleyball net. Good restaurants and buffet breakfast.
The Hotel is amazing, ver well located and offers big variety of amenities for adults, kids and teens.
I also went to the spa and had a facial and massage, the facial is the best facial I've ever have and the massage was excellent. the spa crew are lovely and very kind. Thanks Marylou for so great experience at the spa.
I have been wanting to write this review for a while. We travel quite a lot so we tend to research before booking a resort. And yes, we don't stay anywhere but marriott. They are the best. Love Love Love this resort and everything about Aruba. This is one of the most beautiful Caribbean, for that matter any place we ever visited. And Marriott made our stay even more pleasant. They are top notch. Being their rewards member, we got an upgraded beach facing suite for no cost. If you are considering this resort, go for it- you won't be disappointed. They have a casino, private beach and everything you would want from a resort. Looking forward to our next trip. Love you Marriott, love your Aruba!!
First time in Aruba. My wife and I really enjoyed our experience here. Staff is great from front desk to house-keeping. Especially the people at the towel hut where you could rent a "palapa" (beach hut/shade); they would set up your chairs and towels for you every day. They would give you two towels per person, with no fuss. High quality restaurants on site (Ruth's Chris steakhouse, sushi), also Starbucks in lobby, pool side restaurant, and decent bar/lunch food on the beach food). Stellaris casino was fun and inviting. The only thing I wish they would avoid is the not-so-subtle sales pitches for Marriott "Vacation Club" (that is, timeshares), but I only had to say "No" twice before they stopped bugging me.
Excellent location and casino. Clean, nice shops and restaurants in the area. Fairly expensive to stay at when compared to most other hotels on the island.
It's a PIT. Do not stay here. I'll post pics if the let me. HORRIBLE service - no doubt because we booked with Marriott Reward points. We're Gold elite but that doesn't matter. Since we used points not cash for our room we were given the worst room in the place. The casino steals your money and REEKS OF SMOKE all the way out into the hotel lobby. This is day 1 of a 10 day vacation and I just want to cry. Draft beers are $10 each and a lunch of 1 order chicken wings and 1 pasta primavera was $80 sitting at the sports bar. Don't waste your money. Go elsewhere.
This is an OK hotel. You won't be miserable, but you certainly won't be amazed. Service is generally slow. The rooms are older, but comfortable beds. They don't restock soaps and shampoos every day, but rather randomly when they feel like it. Stay away from the frozen pool drinks. Waste of money. The mixed drinks and beers are good.
I have been coming to the Marriott Hotel for the past 10 years. I must say it is where we find tranquility. For that I have to rate Marriott Stellaris a 5 Star. In staying at the Trade Winds (18 years or older) we experienced a group of younger ladies staying with their parents, picking at the fruit bowls and chip bowls with their fingers. Stainless tongs readily available for everyone to use. 2 days straight no less. I voiced my opinion to management and hope they make some changes.
Suggestions:
Maybe raise the age minimum to 21 or
Even a courtesy sign may help.
