Our Take: With eight floors, beach access, and the Stellaris Casino, the Aruba Marriott Resort gives guests the all-inclusive resort feel without the pretentiousness of some of the island's other establishments. Guests 18 and over can gain access to the Tradewinds Club with its exclusive H2Oasis adult pool and poolside bar (for an extra fee). Meanwhile, kids can take advantage of in-room amenities like 37-inch flat screens, private balconies, and Marriott's signature Revive beds. Home to nine restaurants and bars, including the American favorite Ruth's Chris Steak House, the property in northwest Aruba does not lack dining options—though they can put a dent in your checking account. Guests note that this resort's fun-filled environment and crowded pool area aren't exactly conducive to a serene vacation (if that's what you're looking for). Since this resort is part of the Marriott hotel family, members may redeem and earn Marriott Rewards points here.
