Courtyard by Marriott Aruba Resort 

Really beautiful hotel with a wonderful pool and spa.

Love the bed, the shower, the air conditioning, the food and the convenient location. The employees are all really nice and helpful. Breakfast buffet is included and there are happy hour drink prices. The wristband is always on your wrist, which didn't bother me, but it's a bit odd.

MOLD! As someone else said, this place is a vacation killer. The lobby looks nice, as does the pool but looks are deceiving. Got there around 10:30AM and was told the room is ready but it had to be inspected, come back later (Interns at the desk were VERY nice, so I assume they will move on to a better property). We left and came back in the early evening, went to the room and as soon as the door opened we were overwhelmed with the smell of MOLD. It was unbearable! Switch to a room (essentially, next to that one) and it was still bad, but bearable with the added bonus of chemical smell (to cover the mold?). Immediately saw hair on the bathroom floor, went to wipe it up with some toilet paper, and it turned brown (the floor was dirty). Aruba is a desert, but the humidity in the room was such that nothing would dry out (towels, etc.). Room layout is clearly done by someone who never stays in a hotel room. The bathroom has zero privacy, and the light in the bathroom will light the entire room (waking up other occupants). The door does not close all the way, so someone can walk by and watch you doing your business on the bowl. Maybe some people are in to that, but not me! The pool is OK, but the towels are not meant for regular size people, they are too small to even wrap around a 34 in waist. To top it all off, we HAD NO HOT WATER. Complained a few times, no one even got back to us. When checking out, another guest was at the front desk also complaining no hot water. Manager was called, but did nothing would email us (eventually?). I would expect better for a $400/night Marriott "resort". How can anyone rate this hotel such that it has an average of 4.0? Shenanigans! Would rate it zero if I could. Oh! and check out that amazing view of the parking lot from the huge patio!

S pobytom v Courtyard sme boli veľmi spokojní, ceny boli primerané, priestranné izby, skvelý bazén, blízko pláže. Doprava golfovým vozíkom na pláž. Skvelá hodnota. Odporúčam!
