We were hesitant to book an AI resort given the advice we received about going ala carte for dinner but Divi was exactly what we wanted and would definitely recommend if you want a stress free easy trip to Aruba. We arrived to a nice surprise for our 30 year anniversary - a bottle of wine, 2 wine glasses, and 2 t-shirts with a gift bag and note. Such a nice welcoming touch! Room We stayed on the Divi side for 5 nights. Loved the location of our room (2nd floor, pool view, partial ocean view) - it was super convenient to the pool, beach, coffee shop, bars and music at night. It’s a bit of a walk to the Tam side where the gym, activity center and some restaurants are located but there is a shuttle if needed. Rooms are clean, modern and renovated. Plenty of closet space. Nice balcony. Coffee machine and small refrigerator stocked with waters and sodas. They do provide reusable water bottles but honestly they don’t stay cold at all. There are ice and water machines everywhere tho so you can just refill them. We did bring our own Stanley’s. Lots of iguanas and lizards all over the resort and crabs are crawling around out on the rocks at the beach. May make you consider whether a first floor room is worth risking them making a visit. But there were no elevators so if lugging stuff up and down the stairs is an issue definitely request a first floor room. Beach & Pools We like having easy access to the pools and beach. Beach was absolutely beautiful - soft white sand and crystal clear water. Several pools available right near our room. Many people do get up early (before 7am) to reserve chairs at the beach and pool but we never had trouble finding 2. If you have a big crowd you might have to get up with the nut jobs to do this unfortunately. Restaurants We made reservations at all 5 restaurants. Worth trying all. It’s obvious they know they are competing against many outside restaurant options - cocktails were different and unique at each one, varied cuisines and entrees were elevated and delish, and portions were more than enough. Service was great at all. Personal overall fav for views and drinks was Club Margo (we timed it for the sunset and requested a sunset view table - it was perfect). It’s a fixed menu for sharing - like tapas style. We made reservations a few days in advance on the app with no issues. Some we had to wait to make until we arrived. If a restaurant you want isn’t available try shifting your days around or put in an alert. I do recommend trying them all - Club Margo, Red Parrot, Ginger, Paparazzi and Pure Lime. We did not go off property for dinner - many people do. Maybe do this if you are there longer than 5 nights. Activities Recommend doing the e-bike and snorkel tour with Bri and Donny. They were excellent and fun tour guides. They run it twice a week in the morning. Water, snorkel gear, helmets and towels are all provided. They also provide a snack of local foods to try. The ride is about 12 miles round trip. The snorkel spot was excellent - TONS of fish and lots of sea turtles. Plenty of time to see it all. We also rented a car (Hertz is on property) and explored the island on our own. Went to Ayo Rock Formations, Arikok National Park, Quadirikiri cave, and spent a few hours at Baby Beach. Good snorkeling there - bring your own gear and bread to feed the fish. Updates They are adding new first floor ocean front rooms with private pools on the Tam side - nearly done at the end of October. They are also adding a roof top bar but that looks like it might need a few more weeks at least. Maybe in time for holidays. Overall a great first trip to Aruba.

Unfortunately, our stay at Divi Aruba All Inclusive was extremely disappointing and fell far short of our expectations. The biggest issue was the room. The resort’s website advertises beautiful, fully renovated rooms, which played a significant role in our decision to book. However, upon arrival, we were given an outdated room that looked nothing like the photos used to advertise the property. I understand that not every room can be identical, but there is a significant difference between what was represented online and what guests are actually receiving. I feel this was misleading advertising. To make matters worse, there was construction taking place at the resort during our stay, and this was never disclosed to us prior to booking. Guests should be made aware of ongoing construction so they can make an informed decision before spending their money on a vacation. There were also several other issues that added to our frustration: * The electrical outlets in our room were loose, and plugs would literally fall out whenever we tried to use them. * The resort’s Wi-Fi was not working for two days. * Despite reaching out to management to express our concerns, we did not receive a response before checking out. What was perhaps most frustrating was the lack of communication and customer service. When guests spend their hard-earned money on an all-inclusive vacation, they expect the accommodations and experience to reasonably reflect what was advertised. I contacted management during our stay in the hope that someone would acknowledge these concerns and make an effort to address them. Unfortunately, I was left waiting for a response and ultimately checked out without receiving one. Aruba is a beautiful destination, but unfortunately, this resort did not deliver the experience we expected. I would encourage anyone considering booking here to ask specifically whether they will be receiving a renovated room and whether construction will be taking place during their stay. Do not rely solely on the photos displayed on the resort’s website. Based on our experience, I would not return.

The Divi was wonderful in most ways! Our favorite restaurants were Pure Lime and Club Margot on the Tam side. The buffet was good, not great. The beach is beautiful but wished I had water shoes because it is a little rocky getting into the water. If you just walk down the beach to Manchebo beach it was less rocky getting in. Our garden view room was excellent! The drinks were weak most of the time. Highly recommend the e-bike and snorkel tour; Zef, Bri, and Donny really made the experience fun and it was cool to see part of Aruba by bike! Overall all the staff were super welcoming and happy and made it a great experience!

?? WARNING TO ANYONE BOOKED AT DIVI ARUBA ALL INCLUSIVE BEFORE THE END OF 2026 IN AN OCEANFRONT LANAI! ?? If you have an upcoming stay between now and December 31, 2026, booked in an Oceanfront Lanai room, CALL AND EMAIL THE RESORT NOW to confirm your accommodations! The Oceanfront Lanais are under construction and will no longer be available, and I was NEVER notified by the resort despite booking this room almost A YEAR IN ADVANCE! I only found out by chance, just 4 DAYS BEFORE ARRIVAL, when I contacted the resort with an inquiry about a dinner reservation. Imagine my shock and frustration finding this out at the last minute after planning and booking so far in advance! I then had to fight to get moved to the Vista 2 building, which is the only option that comes even remotely close to being comparable. Even then, I could not get the room configuration I originally booked — two queen beds — and had to settle for a king. This is completely unacceptable. When customers book a specific room type months in advance, they deserve to be notified directly if that room will no longer be available. We plan our vacations, spend our hard-earned money, and make decisions based on the accommodations we reserve. Finding out FOUR DAYS before arrival by accident is not how this should be handled! ?? PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! If you have a reservation at Divi Aruba All Inclusive with travel dates before the end of 2026, do not assume the resort will contact you if your Oceanfront Lanai is affected. ? Call the resort. ? Email the resort and keep a written record. ? Get confirmation of your room type and bed configuration BEFORE you arrive. I'm sharing my experience so other travelers don't get blindsided at the last minute like I was. You deserve to know what you're getting before you arrive for your vacation! CALL. EMAIL. CONFIRM YOUR ROOM. DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU GET TO ARUBA! ?? #DiviAruba #DiviArubaAllInclusive #ArubaVacation #TravelWarning #OceanfrontLanai

The staff was exceptionally friendly and professional. From the moment we arrived Samuel was extremely helpful with our check in. Joel, Julio and Ariel were very friendly and efficient in helping us get the perfect spot each day with our palapas. The beach and views are beautiful. We are looking forward to our next trip.
