The Perfect Honeymoon!

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was fantastic! It’s everything you’d expect from a brand new 5 star hotel. The room was great, the food and drinks at Marea were excellent as well as the poolside food and drinks. Special shout out to Camille at the rooftop bar/pool, she was so sweet and made our time by the pool that much better! The beach in front of the resort is beautiful and very quiet compared. We loved everything about our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Joia at Iberostar Aruba was one of the worst “luxury” resort experiences I’ve ever had. While there were a few kind and professional staff members—the bellmen were incredibly helpful and friendly, assisting us with luggage and promptly getting us taxis whenever needed, and the front desk personnel were polite and welcoming—unfortunately, the rest of the experience was a disaster. The service at the restaurants and bars was appalling. Staff often stood around doing nothing, rarely approached our table, and made no effort to see if we needed anything. At breakfast, we were rushed out every morning - a plate was taken out of my hand when I told waitress I wasn’t done repeatedly. Staff was constantly hovering over us like we were in the way. It was uncomfortable and rude. Beach and poolside service was just as bad. We were ignored while waiters passed us multiple times to serve other guests. It took forever to get a drink, and we often gave up entirely. At the rooftop bar, we asked if we could order food from the downstairs restaurant and were told no—we had to order it ourselves and go pick it up. Meanwhile, our neighbors by the pool were getting full service and had the exact same food delivered to them. The double standard was blatant and completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the drinks were a complete rip-off. They were expensive, weak, and clearly watered down—I had several and didn’t feel the slightest buzz. It’s obvious they’

Great and pleasant staff. Pool areas were very clean and well maintained. Elevator access was not practical, for the elderly and handicapped. The property had very slippery floors all around and uneven floors made us trip often. Staff should be more specific giving instructions in regards to bus pick up and drop off locations and times.

Management had the opportunity to assist and failed miserably. I’ve been to many iberostars and was disappointed with the managers here. Expedia was lacking as well. Too bad because it’s a nice property and friendly staff.

Not 5 star or Adult's Only

Not a 5 star. They should have held off opening or at least offer half of rooms. Only 2 restaurants open out of 4 1 restaurant was closed 1 night no restaurants should ever be closed at a resort. Got woken up ar 4:00 a.m. every single day the workers were in the pool area and had no consideration of the time playing music yelling at each other. The elevator had such a bad oder of sewage they shut it down several times. Spa was not spa like at all no music not water features massage hurt and wasn't relaxing. Ceilings had water stains, fire alarms went off constantly. Not an adult only as stated when i was looking at check in i mentioned this and they said not yet but no children allowed at the infinity pool 3 day's later children at rhe infinity pool whn i spoke to a manager about that she basically brushed it off. I ordered a coffee and got up to pay the kid that was working the coffee shop left to tend to the bar and i had to wait 30 minutes for him to come back so i could pay (most people would have left without paying). Most days construction and repairs were going on and made it not very relaxing. One of the bartenders and waitress at the pool bar charged us for 3 drinks and only ordered 1 i brought it to a managers attention she made excuses for it and changed the amount ummm how about comp it and make up for the sceaming. Most staff was wonderful but they need to weed out the bad otherwise vacationers will be getting overcharged and overlooked.

This property has everything you need for an amazing getaway in Aruba. Located on Eagle Beach, it’s not too busy. There’s tons of beach chairs provided by the hotel and the staff on the beach make you feel safe leaving your belongings there while you go in the water. I’d recommend exploring restaurants close by and on Palm Beach as there’s tons of options. The food options at this resort were also incredible. We will definitely be back!!
