Vacations Close To Aruba Lava Formation

Gorgeous Beach, Amazing Staff, Delicious Food, lots to choose from Buffet, Ala Carte & Coffee Shop .i love & enjoy my Stay in RIU Antillas ARUBA♥️

Loved the direct access to the beach. Cabanas are limited as everyone wants them…have to reserve at 6am to get one. Beach activities are next door, great for those who love water sports, etc. Buffet was great! Restaurants’ quality is ok… wish the food choices would have been greater!!! Because of the high demand for restaurant seating, staff is a little overwhelmed and thus service is suffering.

Overall, we had a great stay at Secrets Baby Beach Aruba. The resort is beautiful, the staff was friendly and helpful, and Baby Beach itself is probably the biggest highlight. There are around six or seven restaurants at the resort. Food-wise, it was a little hit or miss for us. We did not enjoy the Italian restaurant or the Asian Fusion restaurant with hibachi, but the rest were very good. Breakfast was excellent, and we also really enjoyed the buffet for lunch. Tierra, especially for the steak options, was great, and Oceana was another one of our favorites. One thing we really did not like was how early the pool area shuts down. The two swim-up/pool bars close at 6:00 PM, and the pool itself closes at 7:00 PM. For an adults-only all-inclusive resort, that felt way too early. After that, the bar options are pretty limited. There is a bar near the restaurants, another upstairs by the lobby, and the nightclub, which was usually pretty empty during our stay. I definitely think the resort could use more nightlife and later pool/bar hours. Baby Beach, however, is fantastic. The water is extremely calm because the lagoon and reef help protect it from the ocean waves. You can swim, relax, or even sit in a chair right at the edge of the water. The calm water would also be great for families with small children, even though Secrets itself is currently an adults-only resort. We heard they are building another resort nearby that will be family-friendly.

The resort is really nice. The island is small and cozy. Everyone who works there is really good at their job, genuinely happy, and nice. The whole experience was so relaxing. They have a wonderful shuttle system that runs until 11 pm, taking you all over the resort. there are three resorts, the hotel, they villas, and the golf resort, the golf is across the street and the others are beach side, there is a small public beach between the villas and the hotel resort, where a lot of locals and guest stay, loved walking by it and watching locals enjoy the same beach I was enjoying, it solidified that I made the right choice of hotel stay, this place is a lot like jersey shore and the cape cods where families go every year. You have multi-generational families who go there annually. The staff would be hugging the regulars like they were family and having discussions with the kids about how much they have grown. Really cool to witness; it made me feel like I was somewhere special. The island slogan is "One happy island," OMG, so true. People here are really happy! I will be back next year to bring my family; I feel like they have to experience this Zen oasis!! Loved it. One wish, though- I wish that once we bought all-inclusive, it could be used across all resorts. Unfortunately, your inclusion only applies to your resort area and is closely supervised with color-coded bands. That's my only complaint; the food was delicious. BP-friendly!
