Hi everyone!! This will be my first trip to Aruba and i was looking for some help from people who may have stayed at the Bushiri,Divi or Tamarijn. Which one is the best or are they just about the same? ( e.g. beach,food,rooms,bars)

Thanks for helping, Mark

Mark,

I can't speak for the Bushiri, never been there. I do have a preference for the Divi Aruba Beach Resort over the Tamarijn, even though the Tam is nice.

I find the rooms a little bigger at the Divi and the beach is better. I highly enjoy the all inclusive and going to use the Tam's restaurants as well as the Divi's. All the places in Aruba are nice and it's hard to decide where to stay.

Enjoy Aruba. It is a little piece of Heaven.

Thanks Jim, The pictures look AWESOME!!!

Mark - Bushiri is close to the place that the shipping containers are kept and not on the best beach. Go to the Divi as opposed to the Tam - have a great time.

Hello! A friend of mine stayed at the Tamarijn and had an awful experience. The air conditioning was broken and the room wasn't that nice. I have also had friends stay at the Divi and loved it because it is smaller and you get a chance to meet a lot of people because you run into them more often than at a large resort. Have fun!

Divi is best out of those 3 listed.

None of the ones you listed are worth staying at.

the tamajin is nicer in my opioion, you are much closer to the water!! lower block numbers and your steps from the food and pool! the divi to me didnt have many rooms facing the water...
if you choose eaither the divi or tam you can use facilities at both which would be better than staying at the bushire.

I would definately choose the Tamarijn and get exchange privileges with the Divi. No one can beat the view and laid-back atmostphere. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

The Bushiri is the least desireable hotel in Aruba. The Tam and Divi are sister resorts but the Divi is a step up from the Tam.
