Below is a directly quoted post from another forum regarding the construction:
"Well I called the Aruba Marriott resort & stellaris casino Directly to get straight information if you can call it that!! I was conected to Milinda a manager who told me the time frame of the renovations are stiil up in the air ,but will start with the south tower July 7th and will try to complete by end of Aug. La vista will also be closed at this time & tuscannys. The buffet breakfast will be offered in the grand ball room. Also the pool renovations will start about Oct 15th this date not carved in stone. Asked if I could receive a letter assuring me the pool would remain open during our stay Sept 24th- Oct 5th I was then told there is always a chance these dates might be changed. hotel guest will then have to use the time share resorts pools.Also all the bathrooms are being replaced (How in the world wll this south tower be completed by Aug) NOT!!! I then explained it would be nice to give guest accurate information about renovations. Why would I pay for a pool ocean view and get a view of a closed pool being renovated???I then got an email stating that do to construction delays hotel renovations may take longer than anticipated with a contact number. My wife called this number. They told her she was speaking to a guest service manager he was unaware of any renovations scheduled for the Marriott resort & stellaris casino!!!!! What a joke Marriott should really get thier act together and be up front and honest to thier GUEST!!!!!"
