Picture-Perfect Paradise Without the Crowds! Eagle Beach is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. If you're looking for the quintessential Caribbean paradise, this is it. The sand is the first thing you'll notice—it's pure, powdery white and feels cool and soft under your feet. The water is simply breathtaking. It's a stunning shade of calm, turquoise blue and is so crystal-clear that you can see your toes perfectly, even when you're waist-deep. It was absolutely perfect for swimming and just floating around for hours. What truly sets Eagle Beach apart is the wonderful sense of space. We had visited Palm Beach by the high-rise hotels and found it to be beautiful but very busy and crowded. Eagle Beach was a world away. You can always find a peaceful spot for yourself. You never feel like you're sitting or swimming on top of other people. It's the perfect place to truly relax, listen to the gentle waves, and soak in the serene atmosphere. We will be back!

Eagle Beach is absolutely stunning! The soft white sand and turquoise water are picture-perfect — it truly looks like something out of a postcard.

It’s one of the best beaches in the caribbean I have visited many in the caribbean and this it’s in the top. Natural sand all across the beach and turquoise cristal clear water. You can have one of the best views of the sunsets in the beach. Inside the water you can see the bottom even in the deep and it’s all sand without rocks. The beach has plenty of area to bring your chairs and umbrella and enjoy if you don’t have they have available for rent in the area.

Found the most perfect pocket of quiet at Eagle Beach through a walkway across the street from Screaming Eagle. The sand was white and fine, the water was calm. I took a swim to and saw that the areas north and south of where we were seemed busier. Regardless, still a very peaceful and less touristy beach. It was perfect!

Such a lovely beach. It can get crowded at certain parts due to the popularity. I did manage to find a great spot where it is less crowded in the early morning a few days ago and then came to a very populated area yesterday. Great to just be here to relax and swim. As for snorkeling, there was not a lot to sed.

A nice beach, although not all that it's hyped up to be. I enjoyed Palm Beach more, but the same water and sand. The water felt amazing and possibly slightly cooler than other beaches, although it is bath water and a beautiful temperature. Lots of parking if needed and close to the grocery store rather than eating out all the time.

Large, beautiful beach. Plenty of space and it does not feel crowded. Great place to watch the sunset.

Amazing 1st time Aruba experience. Great vibes all around. Room was super clean in addition to nice lighting and TV features. All employees were happy and kind. Their are outstanding amenities at the Marriott Stellaris. This location was a perfect distance from other adventures. We also had the Tradewinds upgrade which was outstanding. Thank you so much. We'll definitely be back!

It was our first time in Aruba, celebrating both our birthdays and our anniversary — and the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino did not disappoint! The hotel is spotless and beautifully maintained, with a welcoming tropical atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The casino may be small, but it’s lively and fun — complete with a great bar and live music that really sets the vacation mood. There’s even a Starbucks right in the lobby, which made mornings so convenient. The location couldn’t be better either — everything you need is within walking distance, from shops to great restaurants along Palm Beach. The breakfast at Mercat deserves a special mention — consistently fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented each morning with friendly, attentive service. It quickly became one of our favorite parts of the day! A few standouts truly made our stay exceptional: 🌸 Marisol from the Mandara Spa gave me an incredible beachside massage, going above and beyond — even massaging my feet while kneeling in the sand. It was one of the best spa experiences I’ve ever had. 🍸 Alix at the main lobby bar makes the best Espresso Martini on the island — whether you prefer it creamy or dark and sweet, she’ll make it perfectly every time. Note: The resort is currently undergoing some construction, which can be a bit loud near the pool area or in certain rooms. It didn’t ruin our experience, but I’d recommend checking with the hotel before booking if you’re sensitive to noise or want a quieter stay. All in all, an amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this resort for anyone looking to relax, celebrate, and enjoy the very best of Aruba! 🌴☀️

It was our first time in Aruba and we had a great time. The staff, location, beach, pool and rooms were amazing. We would walk into the town along the beach and felt like we were in paradise. The food at the hotel was amazing and the portions are big enough for two people to split. The sushi and Ruth’s Chris were fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Great location, we had a huge corner room on the South tower with wrap around terrace and wow what a view. Room and hotel very clean. Some construction going on but did not interfere with any of our plans, so this hotel is probably going to be even better if that is even possible when all set and done. Food is pretty good especially at the lounge bar and Romo the bartender was awesome. Will most definitely return.

We had a wonderful time. The resort was beautiful and clean.Our room was not ready at check in (which was not a problem as we were enjoying the beach and cocktails ) and they gave us $175.00 credit . The new guest rooms were a great size with a big bathroom and a beautiful balcony . The staff could not have been better. John and Javier at the towel stand were so helpful and friendly . The fish tacos and happy hour cocktails were delish ! Everyone was amazing . There were no negatives . We will definitely be back and will only stay here .

First time in Aruba and this resort was more than we could ask for. The beach is the best location on the strip, the pool is a great all around time especially at happy hour, and the restaurants were superb. Everything about this resort was beautiful and boasted the culture. Lastly, every employee was great. We also stayed at the Ritz and I would stay here over there.

Came expecting Awesome views and a great staff at the restaurant and pool side service. What we experienced was none of that. Used 207.000 points for two days and they gave us a garden view room. This was my favorite go to vacation spot for years. Change in hotel leadership and now it’s not living up to Marriott level. As a titanium lifetime Marriott member i was totally disappointed and likely will not return. My recommendation is not to come here but if you must then you should wait though until the remodeling Construction is finished which is targeted for Dec 15 2025. Our two days here was noisy to the point we could not talk to each other at the pool. The construction crews were blasting their radios and not sure if they were yelling at each other or signing to god awful music. It was a horrible two days.

Enjoyed sitting here for a sundowner. Only reason I marked it down was because of the music from the boats and ATVs going past and there is quite a bit of litter compared to other beaches in Aruba.

This is by far the best snorkel spot we found on our visit to Aruba. We stuck to spots we could swim to; we did not do any of the excursions during our stay. There is a shallow shipwreck a few hundred yards off the coast of Malmok that some of the tours were stopping at, but it was way too far out to swim to. The way into the water is shallow, slick, and pretty hard on the feet. Swim shoes are a massive help. The sand is a little rocky at the water, too. The waves knocked us around a bit while we were getting out. You'll probably be better off tossing your fins up on the sand so you have your hands free. There was not a wide variety of ocean life there, but there was a lot of what few fish we found. We went there one evening and enjoyed it enough to go back the next morning. The differing times didn't seem to really matter as far as the variety of fish we found. The water seemed a tad cooler earlier in the day, though. If you're in Aruba to snorkel then this may be the best place you can get to from the shore.

Great place to hang out and sight see but no good access for swimming and snorkeling.

This is by far the best beach on the island. It’s not sandy, but easy to walk on without shoes… it is absolutely gorgeous, the water is so clear, and if you have snorkeling gear, this is the place to do it. It’s rocky, but you can walk into the water barefoot, just go slowly. Once you’re in, swim out past the first cliff and start swimming in the right direction, following along the cliffs edge. It’s very deep and very clear and so many fish to see. We saw a large turtle on our last visit there just a couple of days ago. Malmok Beach is by far my favorite place on the entire island. It has 4 built in to the rocks/sand umbrella tables, so if you get there first, you claim one and you’ll have some shade. It’s mostly rocky terrain, so just be prepared for that. If you have water shoes, I would recommend wearing those. But it’s not impossible to walk without them. Best time to snorkel the area is morning time. Highly recommend this beach. So glad we did. Also the perfect spot to watch the sunset.

Great beach for snorkeling. Clearest water in the whole island. Extra points for the free built-in umbrellas on the shore. Definitely a must-visit beach in Aruba

All beaches in Aruba are beautiful and free. This happens to be a secluded spot because it's on the side road and it is an old coral reef skeleton. You will need water shoes and a plan to get back up. Its rocky and different. Water is clear and there are a lot of pelicans. There is a spot on the right side where you can walk into the water. Jumping is not recommended!

Nice place for snorkeling Saw 3 Turtles in deeper water And some fishes next to rocks and Stones

I was able to visit this shipwreck as one of three stops on a snorkeling catamaran cruise. It's about 60 feet down, so from a snorkeling viewpoint, it's a bit hazy. We saw a few varieties of tropical fish near the site. I think for this site, scuba diving would be a better way to explore it. From what I could see as a snorkeler, it was OK.

Highly recommend a snorkel trip or a submarine trip to see. ($40-$75PP)

This was probably the best part of my birthday trip. Me and my party literally took over the entire boat. lol We had a blast. The crew was so cool and down to earth. Jumping off the boat was my favorite part. I love swimming and it's just something about the water in Aruba that makes your body feel so good. This will definitely be another place I visit on my next trip to Aruba.

Never disappoints!!!! Bring your water camera and take home the beauty to remember later. We do the Jolly Pirate every year and we love it! Truly breathtaking views in the crystal clear water.

Schöner Tauch und Schnorchel Spot mit vielem vorwiegend kleinen Fischen. Wir haben auch 3 Schildkröten gesehen. Ohne Sonne ist die Sicht allersings erschwert und man sieht nicht viel. der spot ist allerdings sehr touristisch. als wir da waren war neben unseren boot mit 83 passagieren. noch 2 weitere boote und man musste aufpassen wohin man schwimmt ohne jemanden anzuschwimmen. (Translated by Google) Nice diving and snorkeling spot with lots of mainly small fish. We also saw 3 turtles. Without the sun, visibility is difficult and you can't see much. However, the spot is very touristy. When we were there was next to our boat with 83 passengers. 2 more boats and you had to be careful where you were swimming without swimming into anyone.

We went on a organized snorkeling adventure to the Antilla Shipwreck with "Pelican Adventures". It was a good trip out there and the crew was very fun to be around. They first brought us over the wreck so that you could snorkel in that area. The ship is big 398.3 ft (121.4 m) so you will not miss it and it is sitting at about 60 ft (18.2 m) in the water. But depending on the lighting will depend on how well you will see the boat. After about an hour we left that area and moved closer to the shore and more shallow water about 10-15 feet (3-4 m). A lot of little fish and my wife spotted a sea turtle.

Took the Palm Pleasure catamaran to the Antilla Shipwreck and definitely don’t forget the waterproof phone cover to catch a few images, mine are a little foggy but an awesome sight to see.

This spot was quite impressive. From the ship I took, you could snorkel along the entire ship which is not that far from the surface. Although I was able to touch it, my ears popped so I would recommend ear plugs. Scuba diving is available at the spot as well. The water is so fantastic to swim in all over the island of Aruba.

What a great dive! My son and myself had the best experience with our dive and seen amazing stuff.

I write this review on my last night of a 7 day stay. The hotel is nice, a little dated and inconsistent on furnishings (more on that later), but overall the grounds are good, the restaurant, pools and bars are decent. The staff is good too. The three stars comes from the fact that our family suite is bombarded by noise, and not from the resort; it comes from across the street. The nightclub across the way cranks up the bass and because the family suites are on that side, you hear it once it cranks up till 1am. You also get to feel it since it’s mostly the bass line. It’s terrible. To Hyatt’s credit, we did complain after 4 nights and they switched us to the opposite side suite on the 8th floor (Even numbered side to odd) to put us a little farther away, but at 9:30pm now, I hear it thumping away and it makes it hard to sleep. It also was interesting switching suites, as the second one had inconsistent furnishings, one less lamp and a non functional outlet, a different sofa, etc. Also Please clean the windows, they are opaque! Kind of embarrassing if you opened the curtains. I wish they were more up front about the noise when you book, even though they can’t legally do anything about it. It really makes the family suite not worth it. I’m lucky my daughter can sleep through an earthquake; I can’t. I wouldn’t recommend this resort if you want a family suite.

What makes this place so special is the attention to detail, personalized service, and the “welcome home” feeling you get when returning. Over the years, we have become friends and kept in contact with amazing people. It’s always a pleasure to go back and meet again in person. Fany, Willy, Beatriz, Glena, Debbie, Margarita and many more always make sure we start the day the best possible way, with a hug. We just left and can’t wait to return back; in fact my wife is already asking to book our next trip to Aruba, and she only wants to stay at the Hyatt Regency. This year Enrique, the new restaurant manager made a point to check in with guests every day, and I could see how proud he was of the relationship his team has created over the years.

TLDR: Good location, subpar food, subpar service, does not pay attention to detail. Skip this hotel and go to the Marriott. For context 2nd time in Aruba/ 1st time at Hyatt Aruba/ Last time at Hyatt Aruba! The positives: The location and proximity to restaurants was convenient, safe, and easy to navigate. The decor and hotel was mostly clean. Ms. Coral at the concierge desk was phenomenal. She was very kind and accommodating. The negatives: The food and drinks were subpar and inconsistent. The cocktails were mediocre. The shining star was the smoothies and the burgers. The food at the beach was better than room service and better than the food at the alfresco bar. The iced coffee was decent but the lattes left much to be desired. The service was subpar in certain places and areas of the hotel. At the beach in particular, you have to reserve palapas in the app the day before and then check-in at the desk from 7:30-9am in order for them to setup the palapa for you. For multiple days in a row, although we came on time to check-in, there was still a 1+ hr wait before they setup our palapa. They also set it up for 2 ppl when we repeatedly asked for 3 ppl in the reservation and in person. The wait was up to an hour sometimes more before waiters would come over to take food and drink orders. The staff seemed to be short and annoyed. Miguel was kind. The bed linen was not changed. I guess they only change it when you ask. We repeatedly had to ask for extra towels and washcloths because they only gave us enough for two people despite having 3 ppl in our room and on the reservation. Upon checkout, despite waiting in the lobby we were not alerted that our airport shuttle had arrived. The shuttle left and we had to wait an hour for the next shuttle. The bellman alleged that they called airport shuttle 3 times and no one said anything so they sent them away. The hotel coordinates the shuttle for you. We notified them at the time they picked up the luggage that we were waiting on the shuttles also when we came down to the lobby we notified them that we were waiting on the shuttle. No apology was offered.

Everything at this resort is top notch!! From the staff, to the rooms, to the amenities!! We couldn’t have asked for more. We met Raul at the Alfresca bar. He was extremely friendly and made us all feel like part of the family!! If you want an amazing cocktail go see Raul!! Everyone we encountered had a smile on their face and was genuinely happy to help at all times. Thank you for making our first family trip to Aruba a memorable one!!

We love Hyatt resorts everywhere we go. This one had outdated rooms and looked worn out. We started out in room 311. It was right above the outside bar and was so noisy that at 11:30 pm we had to go to the lobby and ask for a new room. We were moved to room 364 and it was nice and quiet. The next day we woke up to a soaked floor. The ac had overflowed. They took care of it asap. The staff was great. Very friendly. Food on the property was great. Just the hotel itself was a let down after staying at so many other Hyatt properties. Also, the pool chair situation is not good. We were at the pool to get chairs by 6:45am waiting for the 7am opening. The good chairs were always taken up and we were stuck in the back with no view. Beach chair prices were rediculous. We got spoiled by the Secrets resorts having great seating pool and beachside. Overall we always love Hyatt but probably wouldn’t stay at this property again

The Hyatt Aruba is a MUST. If having difficulty choosing between hotel resorts, rest assured you will not be disappointed with this hotel. Rooms, pool, beach and location is the best amongst the competition. Hands down. I have been to this hotel at least 18 - 20 times - I have tried most of the other hotels, condos, Airbnbs, and I am never disappointed with the Hyatt. The Pool / beach service is a bit slow, and the only negative is one must reserve beach or pool seating - and I strongly recommend you reserve as it does fill up. Although spaces do open up in the afternoon. This hotel is ideal for pictures, honeymoon, romance, families, impressing your date, and all water activities. Adult pool is quieter - service is somewhat better, but it is somewhat isolated to provide that quieter ambiance - I personally prefer the larger, active pool in the center of the resort. Onsite clothing store for women is pricey (400-600 for a swimsuit) - but it has unique items - if on a budget, steer clear. You will not be disappointed with the property - there is a reason it is one of the more expensive hotels on the island, but hands down better than the Ritz Carlton which is a total disappointment (so do not even try to compare the two / The RC is on the rocky side of the palm beach stretch, has a very boring rectangular pool and the rooms are basic. So if comparing there is no comparison. And …. Did I mention the Casino ? Lots of fun, but it shuts down at 2am - even if on a winning streak.

First, before arriving, I had a major issue with the service from this hotel. When asking a question, I was told my reservation had been canceled. It was strange because it showed valid online. I asked again, and three times the representative told me that it was canceled. I was about to cancel all other non-refundable reservations, and file a dispute since I had not received any refund. It was a nightmare, because the place I booked from (American Express Travel) was telling me the reservation showed as valid. I ended up finding the email of the general manager and only then, I was told my reservation was valid. That could have become a much bigger headache. Now about the hotel after the stay... Shower drain was removed from its place by staff possibly because it was defective. It was just sitting outside the hole inside the bathtub. Shower uses a bathtub with curtain, very old style. My parents had trouble going in and out to take shower. Room fits 4 (2 queen beds) but has only two hangers in the bathroom. We had no place to put other towels and wet clothes. They have towels hut by the pool but with no self-service towels, you need to find the person working there. Many times I went, nobody was there. I ended up going upstairs to bring my room's towel. No water near the adults pool, you need to walk all the way after the breakfast area. There was no sign for the machine, you'd have to ask. On our floor, there is no sign for the water machine, it said ice only. We ended up paying $7 for a water bottle before we found out this ice machine also dispenses water. Nobody told us about that during check-in. Breakfast was OK, definitely not what we know as a resort-level breakfast. Options were the same every day (we had 4 breakfasts). Sunset is 7+ pm. By 6 pm, they had already removed and chained the beach chairs. We had to put our stuff on the sand. There is a lot of noise from early morning to late night. I booked an ocean view room but beds were facing the city, not the ocean. The room was right where the bar, music and live events are, and we had trouble relaxing. I'm not cheap and don't mind paying more for excellent service. I was tricked by 4.5 stars reviews, and I'm assuming they are not all real. Or expectations from visitors are lower in Aruba than other islands. The location of the hotel is good, with nice restaurants nearby. This is not the vacation I expect in a resort. It was not relaxing and with things taken care of, with a resort-level service. I do not recommend for the cost (about $3k for 4 nights).
