The Holiday Inn: Unhappy on the “Happy Island” Finally, after several complaints over two days of a completely dead and unusable telephone, I said I was going to post our problems with the Holiday Inn over the Internet, our room telephone was checked. Guess what? After they went up to our room to “check” the phone, it was working. Hmmm…... more

You would not think this resort is the traditional Holiday Inn hotel you would stay at. When I first arrived I got the impression of a true, large beach resort and I wasn't wrong. After checking in (the staff was awe-some!) I walked to my room and was very satisfied with the look and feel of my room which anyways... more

This was our second stay at the Holiday Inn and we will definately be staying there on our 3rd trip. For the price you cannot beat the value of this hotel. Just a few things. ***The beach is fantastic, the water is so calm and clear. Get a raft and float. ***The food is average all inclusive / cruise stuff.... more

After reading many poor reviews about this hotel, I was very worried my trip to Aruba would be ruined. However, I am so glad that I stayed here and I will continue to stay here in the future. Please keep in mind that it is a Holiday Inn and you get what you pay for. If you want to go... more

Just for some background, our trip to Aruba was just after my Husband got out of the Navy and we wanted to take a trip... more

When we checked in I had a room w/2 double beds. I asked for a King and received it. It was a free upgrade. I belong... more

My wife and I went to Aruba to have 6 days of rest and relaxation, Well we got that and more. When we first checked in the hotel staff was very pleasant and we were checked in quickley. The hotel manager on duty was Brenda and she was very nice and even got us reservations at the restraunt(seabreeze) for 7pm... more

I have to admit after reading many reviews I was a bit reluctant to book this hotel but I did anyway because I had a friend that stayed at this hotel, which kind of reassured me. Well what I can say is this place is not as bad as people made it sound but also not so great either. If... more
