Aruba Grand

We just got back from the Aruba Grand
on Palm beach. Just wanted to let you know
how we found it in case you are thinking
of staying there. The room was very clean,
It is quieter than alot of the bigger
hotels but that is how we like it, the people were very friendly, and at the
pier to the right of the Aruba Grand
they actually sell the island best coffee.
It was very good. I wasn't sure how the
Aruba Grand would be but we were very
satisfied with it.
hope this helps.

Re: Aruba Grand

Denise,

Thanks for the insight..We will be staying at the Grand Aruba next week and I was having some reserve about the hotel since reading some of the reviews . How was the food and drinks? We purchased the all inclusive package and hope it's worth the the money. Also how was the Casino?
Thanks...and can hardly wait until next week

Re: Aruba Grand

Stayed there twice. We like the quiet. You can always walk to the other hotels for nightlife. They were renovating the rooms in 2004. You might want to go else where for the casino. The breakfast and lunch are decent. We always had dinner at the local resturants. The best thing is first come, first serve for beach huts.

Re: Aruba Grand

We got drinks from the bar the first day.
they were good but I was told they only
have a happy hour once a week. All the
other places seem to have happy hour everyday so I didn't undestand that.
Anyway if you are facing the beach there is
a pier to the right. They seem to have
cheap drinks in the afternoon. That pier
also had good coffee , which is important
if you need coffee in the morning. Our
standard room did not have a coffee maker
in it. I did not eat there, there are
so many good restaurants on Aruba I
never get an all inclusive. If you venture
out for dinner try Madame Jeanette or
Flying Fishbone we find them very good,
but make reservations. We also did a private snorkel trip thru Robertos we find
it much better than the bigger boats it was
great. Good Luck I think you will be happy
with the Aruba Grand, it is quiet and does
not have all the bells and whistles the
other resorts have but we sort of like that.
You can walk to the other resorts and check them out. I was skeptical also but once
I saw my room I felt better. It was very
clean and updated and the people were friendly. Have fun!!

They have a daily happy hour but it is only on certain frozen drinks.
