Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

Lovely hotel - lobby and service are impressive. Our Governor's suite was amazing. Pool is not huge but the shape makes it feel more expansive. Seating varies from shade to sun - you have to get out there early to secure your chairs. One thing we noticed is that they do not clean the pool area very often or well. Often there are food, plates, cups, towels, etc left to sit out for long periods of time. Same with the beach. If you want a palapa - reserve early. Restaurants are nice - sushi in the lobby was amazing! Overall we had a wonderful experience and the location was great.

I stayed 2 years ago at the Ritz Carlton next to the Marriott but the seats on the beach are very close together there and their pool is not very big so this year I decided to stay at the Marriott since for the same price as the Ritz you get the "Tradewinds" package for the same price it is advertised the extra perks are the Tradewinds lounge where breakfast lunch and dinner are available there as well as a teatime and a premium open bar as well as reserved Tradewinds parking and Tradewinds special beach area. We'll i stayed 8 nights and there are only 5 parking spots "reserved for Tradewinds" which i was never able to park in for 8 days as they were full so toss that out. The reserved beach area is tiny all the way to the right and none of the 8 days was i able to reserve a spot close to the ocean I was at least 4 or 5 rows back not worth it. And for the meals breakfast is boxed eggs they have not fresh eggs I asked and dinner is only 1 hour from 6-7pm and a small selection of what's offered and they do not refill the food so if you get there at 6:20pm we had no cheese and were told that's all they had. Also the special check in i waited 25 minutes to be checked in as they only had 1 person to check in so again it sounds good. Reserved parking, special place on the beach, 3 meals. Trust me its not worth it I would never of done it for the extra $200 - $400 a night.

I can never say enough about this amazing hotel and casino. No matter how many times I’ve visited, each time supersedes the last time. One would think that after 28 visits to Aruba, I would get tired of being there but no way. I anticipate and look forward to the next visit right after I leave. There is so much to be said about the hotel itself. Polite, accommodating, welcoming and professional staff. Clean, comfortable, beautifully appointed rooms. Every place to eat was very good. Ruth Chris was amazing. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Veronica Ruiz. She went way over and above to make sure that we had the very best experience and the most enjoyable vacation. I absolutely must write a review for the casino, the experience was outstanding. Jeffery Cores, Raymond, Rayleen, Rosinny, and Visia are top notch. I recommend this place to everyone that I come in contact with and suggest that they stay here and if they can try to meet these amazing people that truly want to help you have an awesome experience while there.

Another amazing experience. This was our 3rd time visiting Aruba, and we have always stayed at the same hotel. However, this is the first time bringing our daughter. We again were upgraded to a beautiful pool/ocean view. The rooms were recently updated and stunning. I personally had zero issues with the app and getting chairs close to the beach or pool daily. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful even making towel animals on our chairs when setting us up. The breakfast was amazing, and the included mimosas were delicious. We keep saying we want to try other areas of Aruba, but this hotel is our favorite and we will just have to keep traveling to the other areas because we will always stay here.

The Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino is a family-friendly destination that offers a variety of amenities to satisfy different preferences. The casino provides a decent gaming experience, and the lively atmosphere contributes to an entertaining stay. One of the resort's key advantages is its location next to the Ritz Carlton Hotel, giving guests access to one of the best beaches on the island. The beach features inviting water and flat sand that extends far into the ocean, making it a pleasant spot for relaxation or family activities. Guests are welcomed with a complimentary drink, which adds a nice touch to the check-in experience. For those with Platinum status, there are several perks available that can enhance your stay. Overall, the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino has something for everyone and is a solid option for families looking to enjoy a variety of activities while visiting Aruba.

This stay was very nice. We had the Tradewinds (TW) oceanview package, which included meals and included drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). The resort was lovely. The views were spectacular. Our room overlooked the pool and just beyond, the ocean. Sunsets and sunrises were especially beautiful. The room was nicely appointed--beds comfortable and double sinks were a nice addition and clean. The food, I thought, was tasty and better than your average resort food for the most part. Staff were friendly and accommodating. As a claustrophobic, I was worried about the elevators. They were glass (which helped a lot) that faced outside and fast. I didn't take the stairs but they seemed to be open. I only saw 2 people use them while there. It was fairly easy to get a palapa but you did have to have a fast trigger finger to reserve in the morning. The TW side may have been easier though. There was music every night that lasted until 10 pm. It wasn't a bother to me. The adults side of the pool for TW rooms was definitely more of a laidback vibe. The regular pool was way more lively. I stayed more on the regular side. Walking back from Oranjestad, there was a path of all the hotels. It was probably nicer views on the Hilton side but the Stellaris was still a great stay. There are fewer nightlife options without taking a cab. I wished I learned of this pathway linking the hotels earlier because I would have likely party hopped sooner. Aruba is windy. Location aside--I guess remembering my geography would have reminded me of this but I wasn't prepared for the wind. But the wind helped the temps stay very manageable. I anticipated hotter weather and it wasn't. As for the hotel, it was a nice stay for a girls trip.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Stay at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our family vacation to Aruba was absolutely amazing, and a huge part of that experience was thanks to Varun and Ronie. From the moment we arrived, they provided outstanding customer service and made us feel truly welcomed and appreciated. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail helped make our trip unforgettable. The Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino exceeded our expectations in every way. The location was perfect, the atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, and the rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. The entire resort was well maintained, the noise level was peaceful, and the amenities added so much to our overall experience. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and accommodating. One of the things we loved most was the convenience of the location. The main street was within walking distance from the hotel, which made it easy for us to explore the area and enjoy the island. We were also able to visit and view other Marriott properties located right next door. Most of the restaurants we dined at were within walking distance as well, making everything feel convenient, safe, and enjoyable for our family. What stood out most was the exceptional level of service we received from Varun and Ronie. They went above and beyond to ensure our family had a wonderful time during our stay. Their hospitality was so genuine that they even invited our family to return for New Year’s — and we are already looking into booking rooms now because of how much we enjoyed our experience. Thank you again, Varun and Ronie, for helping create such special memories for our family. We truly cannot wait to return! The Brown Family/Savannah, GA

We want to recognize the staff at the Stellaris Lobby Bar. Over a two-week period, we observed them work under pressure during busy periods, always providing great, friendly service. They handled difficult customers professionally and they never overreacted to these few problem guests. We especially want to recognize Jayna, Yokasta, Sandra, and Alex. They are the best...always welcoming, personable, and provide great service. Looking forward to seeing them next year.

Head straight to the front desk upon check in and look for Candy! Candy welcomed us to the island, as if we were returning home. Our room was (booked) Ocean view, she was so pleasant it set the trend for our stay at this property. Once here and checked in with enjoyed a no wrist band type of relaxation. This property is between the Ritz and timeshares. The beach is beautiful and it’s relaxing.

This is the perfect place if you're looking to enjoy both a beautiful beach setting and a lively nightlife scene. Everything is conveniently located, with a shopping center just a short walk away offering a great variety of restaurants and dining options. The Marriott itself is fun, clean, and comfortable, with an amazing staff that truly makes you feel welcome. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond, greeting us with a refreshing cocktail and helping us plan excursions that let us experience Aruba in a way that was both relaxing and adventurous. Their warm hospitality made our stay even more memorable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. A special thank you to Zuneida, Chanyn, and Victor for their exceptional hospitality. They made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived and went out of their way to ensure everything was taken care of throughout our stay. Their kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to help made our vacation completely stress-free and even more enjoyable.

The Aruba Marriott Stellaris exceeded every expectation and is easily one of the best (actual) Marriott properties we've ever visited. As someone who travels weekly and stays at Marriott properties all over the world, that is not something I say lightly. The newly renovated rooms are absolutely beautiful - modern, spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The entire property feels fresh, updated, and exceptionally well maintained. We also loved the pool area. The size, energy, cleanliness, and overall atmosphere were outstanding. Combined with the resort's expansive beachfront, it created the perfect balance of relaxation and fun. Having walked much of Palm Beach and visited several neighboring properties, including the Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis, I would argue the Marriott Stellaris offers the best overall combination of beach, pool, atmosphere, and energy on the strip. The location is fantastic, the casino is a huge bonus, and having it right in the resort— with complimentary drinks while playing — made evenings especially enjoyable. Everything about the property made it easy to settle in and enjoy our vacation. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the service. A special thank you to Ludwig from Guest Services, who essentially became our personal vacation planner for the week. He helped us with restaurant recommendations, dinner reservations, activity planning, and multiple itinerary changes throughout our stay. Every interaction was met with enthusiasm, kindness, and genuine care. Ludwig has an incredible ability to make guests feel valued, and somehow made us feel like family in just five short days. We would also like to recognize Candy at the front desk, who went above and beyond to help us secure a fantastic room. Her warmth, professionalism, and willingness to help set the tone for an amazing stay from day one. The resort itself is exceptional, but people like Ludwig and Candy are what make guests want to return. We cannot recommend the Aruba Marriott Stellaris highly enough and will absolutely be back.

Just spent 5 days enjoying this fabulous resort! First off, trade-wind package IS A MUST! Food was excellent as was the service everywhere on this resort. Room was always super clean and staff were so friendly and very accommodating everywhere on the property. Reserved a palapa on the beach every day which was so nice and relaxing. Pool was clean and the report and beach were gorgeous! Overall it was an excellent vacation and we will come back and stay here again. Why not 5 stars? The bed and linens were not up to the usual Marriott quality we have experienced elsewhere. The bed was hard and pillows were flat and so bad. Bed linens were not soft. Next time I will have to bring my own pillows. For the price, I expected better bedding, however, don’t let this deter you as we will return and highly recommend this resort!!!
