Stayed at the Tamarijn for a week with my wife and son. My kiddo really enjoyed the kids camp, counselors at the camp especially Lisandra were friendly and my son wanted to go back daily for their activities. Food was great especially for dinner at their reservation restaurants, Paparazzi and Red Parrot were our favorites. As others have said, the bar food is sub par vs other all inclusive resorts I've been to but the lunch buffets make up for it. Room was clean and great for our needs, we were on a second floor room with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Things the resort could work on 1. don't be stingy with towels, only allowing one towel per person for beach use seems overly strict. 2. have a restaurant at each hotel open for sit down lunch service 3. allow for you to book sit-down restaurants before arrival or promote this as an option. In summary, I'd definitely come back next year. Can't beat the weather on this island and the staff were friendly.

2nd trip back. Probably not cost effective for us as a couple who dont drink that much [hubs drinks beer which we bought at supermarket to have in room] and I dont drink. Food is all imported from US and not impressive. Mostly same basic (frozen] food at the restaurants with different sauces. No fresh fish or seafood. We went into town and had the best fresh fish sandwich of the trip. Rooms need upgrading desperately. Staff very friendly. Aruba itself is pretty dirty [trash along streets sidewalks.] We love the beaches and the temperature and appreciated the ocean front room.

We had such an amazing time at the Divi and Tamarijn. Truly a vacation our family will never forget. Everything was impeccable and so relaxing. Our daughter had such a great time at the sea turtles club. We were able to have peace of mind knowing she was in such great care and she can’t stop talking about it. Highly recommend this resort!

For me, it is the people that really play a significant role in my perception and appreciation of a location. After the first evening I was greeted with warm smiles and recognition. Doesn’t that make one feel special?The staff at the Tamarijn were unfailingly kind and thoughtful. My welcome started at the registration desk, and continued throughout the resort: at the bars, barista, and restaurants. My room was kept. The wait staff were all a positive part of my dinner experience. Without exception, staff were gracious and helpful. The entire resort was very clean and tidy at all times. The food was excellent both in quality and variety. It was an experience that I would choose again, and one I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.

This was our first trip to Aruba and this resort was amazing. Friendly staff, very clean property, abundance and variety of food and drinks. There was louder music at times at night from adjacent resort but not enough noise to keep us awake. Excellent Atmosphere overall. Location was a convenient 10-15 minute drive from the islands only airport. Rooms were clean and adequate, on the smaller side, but believe me you wont be in the room but to sleep and shower. It's not inexpensive, but fair for what you recieve
