Seventeen percent of the US population is over 65. Dinosaurs so to speak. So, the Divi decided to go paperless, right down to the note pad they leave in your room six sheets! There is a coffee pot expresso of some sort. No directions. Try figuring that out at 6 AM. After trial and error you learn to fill the water open the lid insert the coffee canister. Again, not a single direction to be found. After going to the front desk you are told there is a switch to start the flow. Where is it? You got it pressed against the tray which hold the K cups. One must tip the entire machine to find it then switch it on. The coffee “system” rests on top of the Ikea like furniture. All of which have sharp edges that you can impaled yourself on. I still have a gash that seeps blood to prove it. Ah now for the safe… It didn’t work. The front desk sent up their expert to fix it. He fiddled around failed two or three times the had it working as soon as he left. It “err” again. Calling the front desk the next day [we wanted to get to the beach] another expert fixed it, same deal worked didn’t work he left “err” again. On day three after carrying our passports, money, jewelry around [don’t forget all the drinking in between] We went to the front desk to have the safe replaced . Oh yes sure, we will take care of it. Yeah…..nada! For a week we carried our life around the beach the bars the walkways the public bathrooms. Relaxing huh? Back to nothing in writing. Try to find out what the restaurants serve, you got it No written info. Oh, go on your phone…. Access the menus…..For some reason the server could not be found between 12 & 2. Ah the bathroom There is a very impressive Ikea styled barn door which slides. On the inside the imitation cast iron door pulls are positioned that if you aren’t at the top of your game your fingers will be crushed or severely damaged. The lock is a stupid contraption which in theory is supposed to drop into a frame type thingy. Similar to your garden gate. Yeah, sure once again you risk ripping all the skin off your fingers. Beauty is only skin deep at this facility.

We have stayed at many all-inclusive resorts. The Divi is in our top three. Just an amazing place. You won't find a finer beach. No seaweed no shells no rocks. The beach was truly amazing. Everything has been updated. The oceanfront room was perfect. Open the sliding door to the patio and you were just a few steps to the ocean. Comfortable king bed and a shower fit for two. The Divi has a number of pools to choose from. You can dine at any of their restaurants. Some need a reservation, so they need to be done in two-day increments. Just make sure you do it each morning when you start your day. Don't forget to bring a float or tube. They have a free blowup service. Taxi service was easy from the airport. $30 per car. About a 15-minute ride. They provide golfcart service between the two hotels for dining/shopping. Casino is just a two-minute walk. This is a laid-back resort with total comfort. We will return!!

We love this place. The most beautiful beach I've ever seen. The pools are great. The staff is nice. Lots of restaurants to choose from between the Divi and Tam (make reservations!). We didn't have trouble getting chairs like at other resorts. And I love that you don't have people...

We love this place. The most beautiful beach I've ever seen. The pools are great. The staff is nice. Lots of restaurants to choose from between the Divi and Tam (make reservations!). We didn't have trouble getting chairs like at other resorts. And I love that you don't have people trying to sell you stuff all day like at other resorts. My only complaint is that the tile floors outside the Pelican Terrace are so slippery. After it rains, it's like an ice rink with people slipping. The Divi invests a lot of money in upgrading its buildings and updating rooms--I wish they would change these tiles. There has to be a better option! I mean, even tossing down outdoor runner/carpets after a rain would be a good idea. But, yes, I love this place and highly recommend it and Aruba in general.

We had a great experience the Divi All Inclusive. The room was very clean and updated. The view from our balcony was breathtaking. The restaurants were all good, the staff was super friendly. My only complaint was how slick the tiles around the pool and lobby were after a drizzle....

We had a great experience the Divi All Inclusive. The room was very clean and updated. The view from our balcony was breathtaking. The restaurants were all good, the staff was super friendly. My only complaint was how slick the tiles around the pool and lobby were after a drizzle. We saw many slipping. The beach at Divi was by far the best we experienced around the island for the week.

Just got back Feb 3 from a week at Divi AI. Have been disappointed with all inclusives in the past. Divi exceeded expectations. Beachfront resort. Beach was beautiful. Grounds very well kept. Pools clean and nice variety. Good and friendly service throughout. Food and drinks excellent. Enjoyed the buffet for lunch with plenty of nice options. Restaurants with table service were great for dinnner. Really enjoyed that we could use restaurants and amenities at the Tamarin. Food, service and ambiance nice. Nice choices between French Italian Asian Mexican, etc. Overall a very relaxing place. Some rooms could use updating, but provide all you need with comfy beds, dual sinks and clean. Coffee place with pastries in the morning was really enjoyable. We will be back!

We just returned from a week in paradise. Ignore those negative reviews. Divi All Inclusive is everything you could possibly want. Spacious rooms with gorgeous views, efficient daily service, and no problems with hot water. Buffet food was consistently tasty with lots of variety. Restaurants are ALL top notch and yes we tried all but one. Service staff consistently went out of the way to accommodate guests. Evening entertainment was enjoyable. What could be better in January than sitting outside with wonderful friends, cool drinks, and memorable live music? Divi does it all and does it very well. This is our second year there and you can be certain we will be back! And, of course, as so many others have noted, the beach is one of the very finest in the Caribbean. If you like a beach vacation and you want an all inclusive, Divi is an outstanding choice.

Beautiful room ( we had an Oceanside room) very spacious, and screen door opens to beach..lounge chairs right on our patio. Literally 20 steps to the crystal clean blue waters. 🥰.

Beautiful room ( we had an Oceanside room) very spacious, and screen door opens to beach..lounge chairs right on our patio. Literally 20 steps to the crystal clean blue waters. 🥰. The bathroom and closets are very generous. Everything is very clean-staff are very kind, and helpful, ready to serve you. The little cafe has GREAT coffees and pastry in the morning. Our concierge, was Shirley Ann Croes— she was so good to us. She felt more like my mom:) A seasoned local expert, w many years of experience. She gave us great tips on what to do and see here, and recommendations for dinner. All of the sit-down restaurants here require reservations. All have something unique to offer, and I recommend you try them all. Club Margot was a favorite of ours. Great trip!!! Hope we can come again!!

Divi All-inclusive includes sister properties of Tamarijin, Divi Village and Divi Links- all a short golf cart ride away. Divi All-inclusive has the BEST sandy beaches! Tamarijin has big rocks and a few sandy parts. Tamarijin has the best restaurants and fancy drinks like martinis, margaritas,… at bars that open after 5 like the Paparazzi and Club Margot. All other pool/beach bars you need to be very specific with what you want or they give you a generic drink. Still wonderful. Club Margot is family style tapas in a gorgeous setting! club Lime has the best margaritas. I would skip Red Parrot, not that great. Buffets had variety- always fresh fruit, fish, stations,… The pool view king room at the Divi was great- it was a secluded fun pool- lots of wildlife and flowers. The room refrigerator was not stocked. There are hairdryers in the bathroom.

Overall our stay and treatment at this resort (and sister Tamarijin) is our current favourite. The resort is very clean, housekeeping great, check in/out smooth; loved the key card wrist band. Our room (#416) was large and obviously renovated recently; safety lighting (around bed frame and in bathroom) took a...

Overall our stay and treatment at this resort (and sister Tamarijin) is our current favourite. The resort is very clean, housekeeping great, check in/out smooth; loved the key card wrist band. Our room (#416) was large and obviously renovated recently; safety lighting (around bed frame and in bathroom) took a bit to get used to but overall is a great idea. Restaurants at both resorts were excellent. Hint: book (like two days) early either on line or at lobby desk. Entertainment was fine - enjoyed the Carnival show the best; a little disappointed that we didn't get to see the fire limbo - it was Christmas so there was another dance show related to the season instead. Most enjoyable Christmas getaway.

My wife and I traveled with another couple hoping for a nice relaxing beach holiday, and the Divi delivered. If you’re looking for a party resort, this isn’t it. We never go to the same resort twice, but this might be the one that breaks that rule! ROOM We stayed in the Vista 1 building which was close to everything. The room was spacious, with a nice large bathroom with two sinks and a large shower that worked very well. Air conditioning also worked well. Plenty of room for all our stuff. Grade: A GROUNDS Clean, compact, well laid out, although not much lush foliage we’ve seen on other islands. They have water stations everywhere so very easy to stay hydrated. Grade: B+ BEACH Just like you see in other reviews - stellar, doesn’t get any better. We’re beach people rather than pool people, so this is where we lived daytime. Had to get up early to save the palapa we wanted, would like there to be more available. Grade: A+ FOOD Their buffet restaurant (The Pelican) is mostly “live cooking,” i.e., made while you wait, but it’s quick and fresh so worked well. Many options there for breakfast (greater variety than we’ve seen at most other resorts) - including French crepes which were fantastic! - and the Pelican was the only viable option for lunch. We ate most dinners at the a la carte restaurants, which on the whole were better than most resorts we’ve been to, although not stellar. A few of the restaurants were at the companion Tamarijn resort, which was quick to get to. My wife is gluten free and this was hit and miss overall. Ample protein and veggie options, and most a la carte restaurants had gluten free bread, but the Pelican buffet only sometimes had gluten free bread. Easy to make restaurant reservations thru the concierge in the lobby, but recommend making reservations for your first 2-3 nights using the Divi app. Very good cafe with pastries. It closes at noon, would be nice if it stayed open later. Grade: A SERVICE The concierges were very helpful, and the staff in the restaurants were fun and quirky. A few of the staff were disinterested, but overall no real complaints. Grade: B ENTERTAINMENT The entertainment was much more subdued than most resorts we’ve been to. They had some local dancers by the pool and a different live band each night, also by the pool. Grade: C

3rd year in a row going to Divi AI and already can't wait to go back next year. This is perfect resort for a nice quiet stay. The beach is amazing. It is probably a top 5 that I've ever visited. All of the staff are very polite and helpful....

3rd year in a row going to Divi AI and already can't wait to go back next year. This is perfect resort for a nice quiet stay. The beach is amazing. It is probably a top 5 that I've ever visited. All of the staff are very polite and helpful. All the restaurants are very good. Drinks start at 11 am at the bars and are always made well. I suggest bringing or buying a larger yeti type cooler for them to fill for you while you relax by the ocean. You don't have to leave the resort to eat if you don't want to. Room was very clean. Only minor thing I would say is that an exhaust fan in the bathroom would be nice and also an iron and board. Overall, another great vacation at Divi!
