Vacations Close To Arikok National Park Visitors Center

If you’re headed to Aruba for the first time, please highly consider your stay here at MVC. You’re right across the street from the beach. You’re 5 min away from literally everything. The breakfast was wonderful and filling, and the staff were friendly and very helpful!!

The resort was beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurants was diverse and very tasty. The food ordered through room service was not as satisfying. The wait time was often long and the food seemed rushed. It is a huge resort to explore, considering with the Elite Club membership, you have access to the Antilles property. Perhaps a tour video would be helpful to showcase all the resort amenities and directions. Technology and QR codes were also very helpful and user friendly. If you plan to leave the resort it is cost effective to rent a car, taxi prices were expensive. A hotel shuttle to shopping areas would be a nice service to provide. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. I would definitely return!

Had a great one week stay at the Barcelo. Clean rooms, pleasant staff for the most part. The location can’t be beat. Right on Palm beach and across from a vibrant shop and food area. The food at the resort was okay, do not expect gourmet offerings and you will not be disappointed. Will be back.

Five star vacation! Everything was great, except for the food at some of the restaurants, which I'd give four stars. The buffets were very good but the menu offerings at the restaurants was limited and not the best quality. It was good but not top shelf. Everything else was top shelf especially the staff. We were well taken care of at all times at every venue by the excellent staff. The main pool and the beach were joys!

If you are looking for a hotel outside of the busier high rise area, Ocean Z is THE place to vacation ! I was so impressed with the cleanliness , comfy bed, decor, room amenities and the friendliest and most attentive staff. Arashi beach is less than a 5 minute car ride away and the hotel staff will take and pick you up whenever you choose. You are given, beach towels, beach chairs (and a float if you ask). I did rent a car for three days to explore the island and go to Baby and Eagle beaches but otherwise stayed close to the hotel and ate dinner there at the phenomenal restaurant. The complimentary breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. The food presentation was always something you’d see in a Bon Appetite magazine. Shout out to Maria, Xiomara, Sophie, Felicio and Bonnie for making my stay very memorable. I will definitely be back and recommend Ocean Z to friends and family!

Everything was clean and smelled fresh. The pool was excellent. kitchen had all the supplies we needed. If they could supply small trash bins in the rooms that would be a perfect add on. Would definitely consider coming back in the future.

Leaf blowing at 8 am every day Be aware that the staff walks into room like they own place Staff kids running around a feels like your out of place
