Aruba Resorts & Apartments Update - August 2008

The Aruba Marriott recently opened The Tradewinds Club, an intimate hotel experience wrapped in a resort setting. This hotel within a hotel initiative, introduces a boutique hotel in a resort setting that provides for personalized service and exclusive amenities. The Tradewinds Club experience begins even before arrival, as a staff member will contact guests for confirmation of advanced reservations and airline info. Upon arrival to the Aruba Marriott, guests can bypass the main lobby and check in to the hotel via the Tradewinds Club Lounge, a private 1900 sq. ft. lounge area with a 200 sq. ft. terrace, accessible only to Tradewinds Club guests. Once checked in to any of the 59 rooms tucked away on the 8th floor, patrons will find their accommodations fitted with upgraded bathroom amenities, deluxe robes and slippers and a “pillow menu”. A secluded area of the beach is especially reserved for Tradewinds Club guests only. Complimentary Internet access is also provided in the Lounge along with a DVD player and a library of CDs, books, games and newspapers.
