Ditch the Standard Hotel Room! This Aruba All-Suite Resort Changes Everything
Final Up to date
Have you ever ever booked an thrilling trip solely to be met with disappointment when your room doesn’t dwell as much as expectations?
I’ve traveled a LOT these days (not less than 80 flights within the final yr), and have actually had my justifiable share of sub-par rooms.
Properly, why not eliminate that fear utterly by reserving a resort that has ALL suites?
That’s proper, there’s a shocking resort on the equally gorgeous island of Aruba that’s calling your identify, daring you to discover a single room that isn’t as much as your requirements (trace: you gained’t discover one).
The Embassy Suites by Hilton Aruba Resort is nothing wanting superb, and I already can’t wait to return!
One other Day In Paradise
Whereas this journey was an absolute blast, it wasn’t my first time visiting Aruba. I knew the overall format, and was actually curious what the Embassy Suites could be like by way of location.
In the event you’ve by no means been, there are 2 standard locations to remain in case you are heading to a resort in Aruba — Palm Seashore and Eagle Seashore.
The Embassy Suites? Proper within the center! 🤩
On my first journey to Aruba, I stayed on Palm Seashore, which is gorgeous! However, I didn’t get the prospect to take a look at Eagle Seashore.
For this journey, the Embassy Suites Aruba was within the good location to have the ability to take pleasure in BOTH seashores.
This time, I wasn’t by myself both, so I liked that Liz and I’d be capable of go to the seashore I already knew was superior, in addition to Eagle Seashore (which we might come to search out equally superior).
Plus, staying on the Embassy Suites provides you free entry to seashore chair leases and bike leases, so we had been capable of get to both seashore with ease and even have our personal chairs to arrange as soon as we acquired there.
For instances we didn’t really feel like biking to a seashore, the Embassy Suites had its personal seashore proper out entrance that even has an underground tunnel resulting in it so that you don’t must cross the road!
Location, location, location…. I do know I do know I’m going on and on about it, however there’s yet one more perk I can’t not point out: there are superb eating places, outlets, and extra inside strolling and biking distance.
Whilst you undoubtedly don’t even want to depart the resort in the event you don’t really feel prefer it, I actually prefer to discover a little bit of the world that I’m in once I journey.
This made the Embassy Suites the proper match for me, and once I did depart the property I knew I used to be inside strolling distance to so many enjoyable issues to do and take a look at.
Once we head again to Aruba, the placement alone will certainly draw me again to the Embassy Suites.
First Impressions Matter
It doesn’t matter what you inform your self after an ungainly conversational fumble, first impressions do matter.
Once I walked into the Embassy Suites, the very first thing I seen was how polished the whole lot was. It’s the latest lodge on the island, and it reveals!
All the pieces is pristine and particularly curated to make you really feel like you might be someplace particular.
The truth is, one of many very first issues you’ll discover is the lights hanging above the foyer entrance that resemble birds.
That is really to pay tribute to the truth that a fowl sanctuary lies straight behind the lodge.
Checking in was a breeze, and we had been in our suite very quickly. And simply in case you forgot, EVERY room is a set.
Touring with somebody who likes to remain up late and watch TV? Properly, they will hand around in the opposite room when you go to mattress early.
Touring with youngsters? Then the Embassy Suites is THE place for you. The property doesn’t cost additional for youths, a rarity on the island.
All of the couches have pull out beds, so the youngsters can have their very own separate space to sleep at evening and you may sleep soundly in your individual room figuring out you’ve scored among the best offers on the island.
We had been fortunate sufficient to remain in one of many bigger suites, and might’t suggest it sufficient! Not solely is it extra spacious, you additionally get 2 balconies to take pleasure in!
I imply, simply LOOK at this room beneath:
We’d solely simply checked into our room, and I used to be already a fan of Embassy Suites Aruba.
A Heat Welcome Certainly
Have you ever ever paid hundreds simply to get to your lodge, then dished out extra on your nightly fee, simply to search out that ordering a drink goes to place a dent in your pockets sooner than you’ll be able to say “rum punch, please”?
On the Embassy Suites, you’ll get 2 drinks free every day throughout their night Cocktail Reception, the proper solution to cap off your day by day adventures as you transition into “evening mode”.
After checking in to our superb room and unpacking, we had been capable of head down and get our free cocktails to spend a while unwinding from our journey day earlier than dinner.
This turned a staple in our day by day routine on the Embassy Suites, and was a good time for us to speak about our adventures we had for the day, play a card recreation, and simply relax earlier than dinner and night actions.
Dinner was additionally unimaginable, although by the point it got here round we had already grown to anticipate subsequent degree service, and we weren’t disillusioned!
The truth is, the meals was so good on the Embassy Suites that we determined towards consuming out every evening in favor of hanging out on the lodge.
One factor you MUST do throughout your keep is to order the tequenos (Caribbean Cheese Sticks).
The Aruba Expertise
Thus far we’d solely had a day and night on the lodge and Aruba was already a unbelievable journey. However, despite the fact that you can completely keep on resort the entire time and have an awesome journey, don’t overlook to get out and discover!
Aruba is a beautiful island, and there are tons of issues to do while you’re there.
Considered one of our favorites? The WATER!
I’m not fairly sure I used to be meant to come back into this life as a human… any probability I get to leap in (and beneath) the water, I take it!
That’s why one in every of our must-dos whereas in Aruba was snorkeling. Whereas we’re each licensed to dive, we thought a day on a catamaran with Red Sail Sports Aruba could be a enjoyable solution to see a number of the marine life whereas additionally having fun with the boat life for the day, and we had been proper!
A fast experience to the marina from the lodge and we had been on the water very quickly.
The crew was superb (and hilarious, significantly you’ll be able to’t NOT have a great time with them), and the spots we stopped to snorkel had been stunning.
We’ve been diving and snorkeling in lots of locations throughout the Caribbean, and Aruba lived as much as our expectations.
In the event you prefer to get within the water like us, you should have a good time with Pink Sail! To not point out the free drinks and lunch whereas on board.
We even noticed our favourite fish, a juvenile yellowtail damselfish.
In the event you see the bluest blue fish you’ve ever seen glowing because the Aruban solar bounces off their scales, you’ve noticed one.
After a tremendous day at sea, we headed again to the Embassy Suites Aruba and frolicked by the pool in our Cabana that we had reserved.
The pool is big, and there are many areas round to hang around as nicely. We caught up on a bit of labor and browse subsequent to the pool for some time.
After this, we took benefit of motorbike leases and went into city for gelato. There’s a actually cool space that appears prefer it was ripped proper out of Italy, with a restaurant known as Giannis to match!
Proper in the identical ‘courtyard’ space, there’s a double decker bus that serves gelato, and I don’t know in the event you knew this, however gelato tastes higher in Aruba 😉. After a day within the solar, a motorcycle experience because the climate cooled adopted by some gelato was a ten/10.
As soon as we headed again to the lodge, we had our nightly ritual of free cocktails and reliving our adventures for the day whereas we performed playing cards.
The proper solution to put together for an additional superb dinner on the balcony overlooking a beautiful sundown!
The place We’re Going, We Don’t Want Roads
We’re large followers of attempting new issues. I imply, you don’t leap into the journey business full time in the event you don’t prefer to strive new issues, it’s like the entire level proper?!
That’s why we do what we do, and typically you do one thing that instantly makes you need to go once more!
That occurred to me throughout my first journey to Aruba. I went on a UTV tour and had an absolute blast, I knew immediately I needed to get Liz to strive it too!
Fortunately we got that probability with Fofoti Tours & Transfer.
They picked us up proper from the Embassy Suites Aruba, and we had been getting off street heading to the north finish of the island very quickly!
Since I had already been earlier than, I used to be the passenger princess the entire time whereas Liz took us off-road to some unimaginable surroundings.
Going to this facet of the island appears like you might be visiting the moon. The world is totally undeveloped and appears completely completely different from the resorts and seashores you see when again on the lodge.
Throughout your tour you’re going to get to experience over some actually enjoyable terrain in your solution to see a number of highlights like a pure bridge and the California Lighthouse.
Your final cease is refreshing, so put on your swimsuit and prepare to take pleasure in Tres Trapi Seashore!
The ‘seashore’ is de facto small however very fairly. There’s a spot that you may leap in, and the water feels superb. It’s additionally an effective way to clean off the filth you’ve seemingly amassed on your self throughout your offoading adventures.
We forgot our swimsuits, however we didn’t let that cease us, we simply jumped in with our garments on! 😂
A UTV tour is such a cool solution to see a really distinctive facet of the island, and TOURS did such an awesome job of constructing it seamless and enjoyable!
You’ll discover a theme right here for our subsequent exercise: we acquired again to the Embassy Suites Aruba, grabbed our free cocktails, and talked about how superb our day was!
Dinner was as soon as once more unimaginable, and by this level we had been regulars! The waiter knew us, knew what we needed to drink, and requested us about our keep. We felt actually at residence and liked ending our days like this.
All Good Issues Should Come To An Finish
Sadly, we are able to’t dwell at The Embassy Suites Aruba (I requested 😂 ), and our final morning was upon us.
However, we weren’t going to let that cease us from having fun with ourselves!
On our bike experience to get gelato, we seen a butterfly backyard proper subsequent door to the Embassy Suites and determined to test it out earlier than leaving for the airport.
First issues first… it’s price it!
It felt a bit expensive ($20 a pop), however we realized after we purchased the tickets that they’re legitimate throughout your keep in Aruba.
We had been leaving in a number of hours, however now we all know for subsequent time!
Strolling in was an emotional expertise. The butterflies are all so quiet and delicate and the gardens are stunning.
You naturally really feel a hush come over you as quickly as you step in. We seen they even do yoga classes there typically which might have been a tremendous expertise!
Leaving Is Just As Easy As Arriving
When it was finally time to leave, checkout was just as easy as checking in, and the airport was nearby (less than 15 minutes).
Plus, another perk of Aruba is you get to do U.S. customs before taking off, so that way, when you land in the U.S., you can skip it!
Remember, once you get through the initial security check in Aruba when departing, you aren’t done if you are heading to the U.S., you need to continue to the right where you will go through U.S. security and customs.
We can’t wait to get back to Aruba, and when we go the Embassy Suites will be at the top of our list!
