The moment I set foot on Occidental Grand Aruba I was ready to ramble on Tripadvisor of what a dump it was. I was so mad because we got there, got a room we hadn't booked, with "partial" ocean view and partial view of a parking lot, there were no towels at the towel hut, we weren't able to make... More

Everyone at the Occidental was fantastic. We were greeted with friendly smiles everyday. Thank you to Antonio and all staff in the hotel, pool side overall. The food, service , beach and people were the best. Thank you from Lazaros and Tina. We will be back.

We just got back from Aruba, can't say anything bad about the hotel. We ate at the Royal Club and three other restaurants including the buffet, we seen bad reviews about the food and have to say the food was good. Everyone was nice, rooms were clean. We were worried about the wind but it's a non factor.

We stayed at this property on their Royal Club program. Not inexpensive ($400/nite) but worthwhile. The rooms were immaculate, with marble floors, balcony overlooking the ocean, and a bottle of chilled champagne upon arrival. The nightly entertainment exceeded expectations, as did the food at the three different restaurants we tried on the property, especially the Italian. As Royal Club visitor,... More

We were disappointed with this hotel. They don't have room service, you have to PAY for wifi which is nuts for an all inclusive. Birds are flying in and out of the restaurants which is unsanitary around all the food. The pool area is nice and so is the beach but we could have chosen a better hotel in that... More
