Paradise!
We had a fantastic stay because of wonderful staff, amazing food, local entertainment, ambience and such a beautiful part of the island! We enjoyed the long beach but even longer boardwalk connecting sister resorts. We saw many birds, geckos, iguanas and fish while swimming. We enjoyed a full island tour but enjoyed our time at this resort even more!

Review of Tamarijn Jan 2025
We are returning quests to this resort. We flew Westjet Premium and it was fine. Luggage did not get priority off load in Toronto but since they couldn't figure out what carousel to offload the baggage, it hardly mattered. Rooms are basic & clean. If you are looking for direct access to the beach, request building 1400 or 2000 - 2500 as rocks ,make entry difficult elsewhere. We always request ground floor rooms and each time we have sent a request for a room in a particular section, while not guaranteed, our wishes were fulfilled. Buffet for breakfast & lunch was OK & we were always able to find something to eat and staff were great. Dinners at the a la carte were pretty good for an AI. Our favorite was Ginger, then Red Parrot & Paparazzi. Make reservations as far out as you can usually for 3 nites. You can either go to the concierge @ 8:00 or use the APP..when it works. Club Margot is new this year and as a result, there is no dinner buffet @ the TAM. If you want a dinner buffet, you need to go to the DIVI. We didn't like Club Margot - just not for us however the dessert is outstanding...lol. We also rented a car from Wheels2Go as in previous years - pickup & drop off at hotel. No issues & highly recommend them. Went to the Donkey Sanctuary for our annual visit & fed them several bags of carrots that we picked up at Super Foods. Went out to eat for dinner a few times. P F Changs was good. Wilhelmina was also good as was El Goucho.

The hotel was smaller and spread out so it never felt crowded . The shuttle service to and from the Divi was great but it was a very easy walk too. The ocean was beautiful and the beaches really nice. The a la cart restaurants were great! Great vacation !

We had for the most part a nice time however we had a few situations that were uncomfortable Starting with when we checked in we were told we could not have ground level ,,, I can’t do stairs then was told there was only 2 double beds availible and we booked king Then we get to the room to take a shower and it is plugged with hair Had reservations at paparazzi for new years and food was terrible, then went to the lobby bar a couldn’t get anyone’s attention until we pulled out money Lastly we went to the spa to book a massage on the beach and was told that the phoenix was the only spot. Went to the front desk to ask if the shuttle was able to take us and was told absolutely. Booked the spa went out to dinner and came back and felt I should make sure they could take us and was told by another employee that yes indeed the shuttle could take us. Woke up the next morning went to the front desk and was told that no one would have told us this I was upset with the person who spoke to me like that Asked for the manager and all she could say was who was the ppl that told us that. I then said it was not our error but the hotels and that they should pay for a taxi for the hotels error and the manager said to us no they would not and that it was only 10 dollars both ways to go. I am an ex hotelier and found it all very u comfortable and surprising

Great time
The hotel is in a great area with access to a beautiful beach area on the Divi side. Food was really good. Just note that you should download the app as reservations can only be booked 2 days in advance and start at midnight so if you wait for concierge to open in the morning, most good bookings are gone already. If I had one negative, it would be the inefficient check in and out but that was minor compared to all the other great services

Great Resort
We just returned from the Tamarjin Beach Resort. The rooms are nice and comfortable. We originally paid for a Premium 2 Queen Bed Room and by comments made on the facebook page it seemed as though the location we were in was not the correct room. Went to reception and addressed the issue. They immediately fixed the problem and moved us to the correct block location. The customer service was excellent. The restaurants and food quality was very good. We only had one complaint with the Ginger restaurant. The service was extremely slow and it seemed as though we did not exist. When the fool came my husbands was totally cold. The food was still good and maybe it was just a bad night for them. The staff and bartenders were amazing. Very friendly and attentive. The beach was a little disappointing. Some areas had a lot of big rock that you could not access the ocean. The areas that you could access the ocean you needed water shoes. There were a lot of smaller rocks and broken shells. It was hard on the feet to get into the ocean. Once you past the first two feet the water was beautiful. Crystal clear and warm. The pool was on the small side for the size of the resort. We were up and about by 9:00 a.m. and could never get a chair by the pool. We walked over to the Divi and the beach was much nicer on that side. We would definitely go back to this resort. We really could not complain about the food or staff.

A terrific vacation spot in Aruba
The Tamarijn Beach Resort was everything we hoped for during our first visit to this quaint Caribbean island. The resort which is located right on the beach (between Divi and Druif beaches) is comprised of a series of two story buildings where every spacious room has a balcony or patio directly overlooking the beach. This creates a private, secluded atmosphere compared to the several high rise resort hotels located on Palm Beach up the coast. The beautifully landscaped property stretches out along a mix of sandy and rocky beach front. In some places it is like having your own private beach! The all-inclusive package at the Tamarijn provides access to facilities at the Divi All-Inclusive Resort a 5 minute walk up the beach as well. Shuttle service is offered between the two resorts as well as the Divi Village Golf resort just across the street. Between the two locations you have all-inclusive access to 8 restaurants, several bars, 4 or more swimming pools. gift shops, spa services etc. The food and beverages were the best we have ever had at an all-inclusive resort. There are also three pay as you go restaurants on the sister properties. No need to leave the resort at all other than to take one of the several excursions that can be arranged at the concierge desk. We will definitely return for another perfect relaxing beach vacation.

Great Resort
Hotel is close to airport, right on the beach, it's about a 30 minute walk into town, great beach to walk to see other hotels. Lobby has shops, snack bar, bars, restaurants. We were given 2 refillable water bottles and beach bag at check -in, which came in handy, lots of water and ice stations at the resort for fill up. Divi Golf Resort is across the street, they have a golf tournament on Wednesdays and Fridays. We signed up and played in the Friday 2 person scramble, that included 9 holes, cart, rental shoes, sleeve of balls and 2 drinks after the round. Price was $80.00 US per person, and prizes for 1st and 2nd. Food at the hotel is very good, We ate at the buffet for breakfast, sometimes lunch and dinner when we didn't have a reservation at one of the other restaurants. We ate at the Italian and also the restaurant where you cook your food on the table, we went to the Divi next door and ate at the red parrot as well, as it had been recommended,we also ate at their buffet, just to see if different from our buffet. We enjoyed the snack bar in the lobby area at lunch, good variety of food and quick. We did find the rooms small compared to other resorts where we have stayed, but someone said how much time do you really spend in your room ? We had 2 queen beds and small table and 2 chairs. Another thing that was different from other hotels we have stayed at, is they usually have a stocked fridge with water, pop and beer, ours was empty, so we asked at the front desk and they said no they don't stock them, if we need anything we could get at the bars or restaurants.

Aruba- Beautiful Family Resort
Beautiful clean resort. Everything is a second away from the beach. Rooms are seconds away from the ocean, you walk out into the sand. Buffet was really good with a different variety everyday. They have lots of restaurants to choose from. Our best choices were palm grill and red parrot. All the staff were friendly and kind. Beach and sunsets were out of this world! The view from all the rooms are spectacular. We are making it a yearly trip! See you soon!

Amazing Holiday!!! Definitely going back
Resort/Hotel Rooms - nicely decorated, clean, and great for a vacation. VERY VERY close to the BEACH, actually approx 20 feet from the ocean. All rooms are Ocean Front, great to wake up looking at the beach, water, cruise ships and the palm trees. Enjoyed the low rise environment over the high rise area because it is more personal. Staff and people were fantastic. Beach - Great for swimming, can walk for miles on the beach, snorkelling, sand and coral bottom, in some areas definitely advise wearing your water shoes. Restaurants- Enjoyed everything about the restaurants. We enjoyed the buffet as well as the others. We are not scheduled type people so being able to eat when you wish was our choice. Island - can walk anywhere or travel by local transportation. A very safe island with many options for day trips if you choose. I can't say enough about ARUBA and the Tamarijn Resort, we will definitely be back. Not alot of night entertainment, but after a day in the sun, beach, water, food, did not really matter for night entertainment.

The room are not as expected could use a refreshing, but was clean and comfortable, also cleaned very well every day cleaning staff did a good job. The grounds of the resort was kept clean. The restaurants and food was very good no bad meals at the Tamarjin and The Devi Aruba, staff at all restaurants were very good. The Beach at the Devi Aruba was better the Tamarjin was small with some rocks. The bar staff was excellent with serving and very helpful with the kids. Checking in and out was not a problem and room was ready when we got there. Overall the Resort I will rate as a 3.5 because of the rooms.

Beautiful Resort!
The Tamarijn Beach Resort was just beautiful. Very clean resort and hotel rooms. We had an ocean front view room on the 2nd floor and we would totally recommend this, so nice to walk out onto your balcony and see the beautiful ocean and white sands. The buffet & restaurants on site were very good. The nice thing about this resort is that you can also go to the sister resort next door and use their pools and restaurants as well, you just hop on the free shuttle and you are there in 5 mins. When they say Aruba is one Happy Island they are not kidding, everyone was happy and very accommodating with directions or a simple question. There are many excursions you can take while you are there, I would highly recommend the Off road Jeep Safari it was just amazing, you stop at 5 different places and you can see the whole island of Aruba!! I would definitely come back here again, I didn't want to leave!!!

This vacation was about the white sand beach, clear water, sunsets and relaxation! The rooms were clean, resort was easy to get around, and the island is safe. Would have liked bottled or canned beer. Only draft available so we had to purchase a cooler and bottled beer from the nearby grocery store. Some restaurants are better than others. We enjoyed the Red Parrot and the Paparazzi (Italian). Buffet was very good, lots of fresh options. Service was good also. You drag lots of sand in your room, would have been nice to have a broom available to sweep it up. Overall...fantastic resort!!! A must see for the room with a stunning ocean view!!!

Amazing location and resort
We stayed at the Tamarijin April 28-May 5, food was excellent, rooms updated, awesome view from our balcony & loved being steps to the beach . We stayed in the 2000 block which I would recommend as the beach is wider there. The drinks where good & the grounds where kept very nice. They offer free bikes which we used to ride to the california light house, the bikes do need alot of attention & replaced most where not in great shape. It took us a few to find one with good working brakes. Loved the safety of the island & not being bugged to buy things. Can not wait to return!

Beautiful resort
The hotel was clean, the rooms are well maintained. If we had any issue at all with the room (which we didn't) the housekeeping staff were always around to help. The food was amazing. It was a little difficult getting a booking in the restaurants by only being able to book at least a day in advance. There were limited times available but when we were able to book the meals were amazing. The concierge while helpful was challenging. I can't say I have seen a concierge that is at their post eating, talking on the phone and examining their teeth while trying to communicate with someone. It was different. However all of the other staff were courteous, friendly and efficient. The beaches were beautiful and well maintained. Definitely a place we would return to and recommend to others.

Great Beach - Tired Resort
My review will mimic most of the others you will read. I'll start with the Positives: The Beach is AWESOME The food is probably the best I've had at an all inclusive The selection of alcohol is very good (all brand name booze) The rooms are all beachfront (this is the best part) The sun sets directly in front of the hotel The water is clean and safe (I drank out of the bathroom faucet daily with no issues) The hotel is small and loungers are available anywhere at any time Now for the negatives: Rooms are very small, and tired, and in desperate need of updating (toilets don't flush well, grout in bathrooms is filthy, drawers in dresser don't open correctly, cracked tiles, etc.). There is only 1 pool at the Tamarijn, and there is no "swim up" bar. If you want organised activities - forget it Aside from a few good eggs, the majority of the staff are unfriendly, uninterested, and generally rude Bars are understaffed, so even though there may only be a few people sitting at the bar, you will wait longer than you would expect for a drink I'm giving the Beach/Pools a five star rating - but specifically for the beach - not the pool.

Good all inclusive!
Hotel was good, grounds beautiful and of course every room faces the beach. We were in bldg. 21 which is a fair walk from the lobby, restaurants. But not too far from the bunker bar. A big shout out to Carmen, Kenneth, Gilbert, and Eddie. These are the type of bartenders who are truly interested in serving their customers and not just sniffing around for a tip. Now about our room, the a/c worked great, the cabinetry in the bathroom was not professionally installed by any means. The plumbing didn't work well as our sink was slow in draining and it usually took 3-4 flushes of the toilet to make things disappear. The toilet even started leaking overnight but was rectified quickly the next morning. We didn't use the pool at all as there is very little shade at the pool. There's lots of palapas on the beach so we stayed in the shade on the beach for our two week holiday. There isn't an abundance of kids at this resort as opposed to the Divi but I think it's because of there's more pools at Divi and more shade around their pools. We met many nice people both staff and guests. The cleaning staff were efficient and timely. We heard through the grapevine that they were going to take down the bunker bar but we didn't hear if they were going to replace it. The snack bar had great pizza, and sandwiches if you got bored with the buffet. We went to RedParrot for dinner twice it was just OK. Not great. We also went to Papparazzi once and were disappointed. My wife's meal had a sharp piece of plastic in it and my lasagna wasn't great. When we found the plastic piece we left without finishing our dinner. The beach was nice but there was some seaweed at the far end of the resort. Most of the beach is sandy to enter but you might want to consider wearing water shoes at other entry points. The shower has shampoo and conditioner but no soap so bring your own. This would be a good place to bring young kids as they are finicky eaters and there are a lot of choices at the buffet for them. All in all I would recommend the Tamarijn for a family vacation. It's handy being able to use the golf cart people movers on the property between the Divi and the Tam and the casino. Enjoy your holiday here folks! I forgot to mention we stayed here Feb. 18-March 4. One other thing though is it would be nice if guests would pick up their cups etc. when they take that stuff on the beach. Come on people! Don't leave cups and plates on the beach! Help keep this resort nice for everyone to enjoy.

Good time spent
1- Beach: excellent but too rocky you might need to wear your sea shoe, the ocean is one the greatest that I have ever seen 2 - Pools: multiple small pools, which I really didn't like they are too small and between the water mattresses and kids toys there is no room for you to do anything other than just standing in your place. this is the worst pool ever that I have seen. our last two days, there were bunch of teenagers who would just show up for about 2 hours (who didn't seem, for me, to be guests at the resort) and were invading the pool in a very vulgar way, laughing and fighting very loud and making very dirty comments about girls, trying to watch them from under water which made everybody leaving the pool or taking a side to be far from them. 3- Service: I was about to say great, except sometimes when the buffet seemed to be busy, it was very hard for us to get served. and in the Red Perot restaurant, we were assigned a server who was very funny but didn't seem to work seriously, he was very slow at the point that we had our reservation at 8:45 and left at 10:45 just to wait for him to provide us with the entree, main course then dessert - in the same time, guests who had reservation after us had left long long time before us. 4- Food: was great, and the a la carte restaurant was great too and the quantities served were so big till the point that we didn't get dessert as we were completely full. The only down side, was that at the buffet where the dinner served almost the same menu as at lunch 5- Room: we were in the second floor in building 15 which was great location close to everything. the room was not too large but ok for 4 or us (3 adults & 1 teen). the downside was the fridge was empty and was never filled, seems that they don't have this service, which is weired compared with all other resorts that we have been in - at least put water there!! 6- location of resorts: excellent 7- overall: we spent good time there.

Aruba Sun, Sand & Sea
My 13 year old daughter and I just returned from a perfect week at the Tamarinj & Divi all inclusive resort. The vast white sand beaches, turquoise waters and billowing breeze were the highlight. We had long beach walks and many swims in the pristine sea. While accommodations were basic, they were comfortable and clean. There were 5 a la carte restaurants to choose from- we went to The Red Parrot, Gingers, and Pure LIme and loved them all. The staff was friendly and attentive, and we found the vibe of the place to be excellent. Look forward to returning again.

An Amazing vacation resort!
First, I would like to thank the tripcentral travel agent Maria for recommending this resort, theTamarijn Beach Resort in Aruba. It was amazing! All the rooms had ocean front rooms that were just a few feet from the beach (2 story small buildings). The beach was great for long walks and the water was so clear and beautiful. All the rooms had been fully renovated and were beautiful. I went there needing a rest. I slept, ate and drank when I was not enjoying the tours the entire week (all inclusive). The staff and locals were also great. They were polite and shared stories with us about the things to see and even about their families. It felt like home away from home. I felt safe and loved the excursions that were recommended including the UTV tour of the north side of Aruba and the biking/snorkling tour of the southwestern side of the island.

Quiet and low key
The pictures shown on the website reflect exactly what you get. Its clean and when you ask for ocean front you get it! Bring your water shoes as there can be small stones when you enter the ocean. This seems to change with the weather, but, best to be prepared. The only down side I can think about is that this hotel is close to Town (bonus to walk into) but along with that comes more traffic sounds and the ambulance. That noise took some getting used to!

The grounds were clean and well kept. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food adequate but not too hot. Often times even a la carte meals were lukewarm. Had issues with the drainage in the shower on the last day of our trip. Called front desk to advise and they said they were aware however by next morning still not fixed. This was a disappointment as we're concerned of flooding out bathroom. Still would like coffee makers in room

Great Beach, friendly staff!
Here's my review: - beaches. The beach at the tamarijn has a lot of rocks but with swim shoes, you're fine. You can also take a 5min walk to the beach at the Divi resort where the beach is beautiful. - the food: the food is good, not 5* but still pretty good. You have access to the buffet at the Divi so if you don't mind the walk or the shuttle ride, food is better there. The A la Carte restaurants are good but not great... - the room: small but clean. Small downside: hot water takes forever... - the staff: very friendly!

Worth every penny for the beach front rooms!
Loved everything about this resort except that the nightlife was a little dull. We stayed for our honeymoon and lived the fact that we opened our patio doors and were 10 steps from the beach. The food was ok, buffet wasn't very good and steer clear of the paparazzi restaurant. The ginger a la carte was amazing and the red parrot at the Divi even more so! A tad rocky so bring beach shoes if you'll be in the water a lot. We didn't step foot in a pool all week. Drinks were delicious and they surely don't skimp on the alcohol! I'd go back maybe try the Divi side next!

Read all reviews prior.. Staff friendly except for a few at front desk that truly couldn't care less. Not stocking fridge one thing but unable to get bottled water... I know you can drink their water but hard to transport it on day trip etc! They have it just won't give it out! Did without luxury room but shower cold 6 of 7 days!! Buffet ok but for Aruba.... Pathetic..frozen drinks really bad.... Had to ask them to throw in a banana to make them drinkable.. Which they did...beer good. Beach as expected ..rocky but being so close to beach was beautiful....makes taking lower grade rooms ok... But in Aruba to compete they have to improve buffet!,, make sure showers have hot water...the beach is much calmer in high rise end as well as more to watch as all water activity rentals down there.. Despite beauty of closeness to water I will never return to the Tam/divi....

A Bit Tired, but Still a good spot
Beach in front of our room needs significant and immediate improvement-----erosion is ruining it. Service staff excellent except for the front desk who acted like they were doing you a favour? Two on-site restaurants were excellent. We have been to the Carribbean 19 times and almost of the resorts we visited, they give you or have in the room upon arrival a booklet with the "do's and don't's"----other than a map, you are on your own-----so kept asking a lot of questions. Make sure you take the half day island tour------well worth it.

Just OK!!
We did enjoy our week at the Tamarijn but would not return to this resort. It certainly isn't a resort that my husband and I would of picked. We were invited to join along with family to enjoy a week of sun and sand. The beach at the Tamarijn is rough. Not a lot of ground keeping done at all or beach grooming. The 1900 block area is the best if you want to be located outside your room on the beach. BUT, the water there is VERY rockie and you can not walk out in it with out water shoes. We made the 10 min trek every day to go to the beach at the Divi side which was AMAZING. the beach was huge the water was not rockie and you didn't need water shoes! You can enjoy all the amenities at the DIVI resort. and there are a couple of bars on the beach there as well. One which includes a BBQ (we had lunch here everyday and it was delicious) You even get to enjoy your lunch with the iguanas. We fed them by hand(they are very gentle) it was pretty neat. Im sure many people didn't like it but we enjoyed having them around and lots of people were taking pictures as we did so. The rooms were average. Bathroom is small. Water Pressure in the shower it weak at times. We never went to the pool once. There is only one pool and its rather small for the resort size. And not lot of loungers there either. We only had buffet in the morning for breakfast but it was good. We tried all the resturants on the Tam and DIVI side. Red Parrot was great but my Husband got food poisoning from it and lost a day of our vacation sick in bed/bathroom. It was very unfortunate. The staff are not the happiest around either. I think if they smiled a bit more and actually enjoyed or at least acted like they enjoy serving the guest it would be a much better place and they would make a lot more tips. They just didn't seem happy at all. And for a place were their slogan is "One Happy Island" they don't seem it. We would not return to the Tamarijn resort but would possibly return to the island. It would not be our first choice though. All in all, it was an enjoyable week. The weather was beautiful and HOT.

Spent a gorgeous week at Tamarijn Resort in Aruba. People where very nice at the resort, food was good with a european touch ...or dutch LOL. The wines are great ..theu are all south american wines Chili , Peru so cant be wrong. The variety of food s is limited per day but what they have is well done. Worth to go to the great sister resort ..take a shuttle or walk 10 min. They have the Red Parrott a la carte too and the bufet is bigger wider selection. Stuff is great all around. Be prepared to spend a week without internet or add 50$ to your bill from day 1 and you are done.... this is the only thing i found weird ..the excessive internet charge. The island itself is kind of need update ...but the beaches and the see is as advertised .. If you go to natural pool and island toor make your choice : 1 . if you are adventurous ..go on your own ..rent a jeep and go. BUT keep in mind the desert road to the pool is very very ruff. Few reviews tell about the trouble people get in there. so be ADVISED ! 2. Take a Safari tour and they take care of you and bring you there and back safely. We where on our own with a rented Jeep all around the island. Natural pool is beautiful , wild side of Aruba. Rule no.1 : never follow another rented car ..they are lost like YOU .. lol . But the island is so small,, you will find what You are looking for.The downtown area was under renovation ...but souvenirs are not too many choices ..or not as expected. Not like Bahamas ... Actually the shop in resort has a nice choice . Store (one of them) is run by Filipinos in both resorts..they are nice and take good care of business ...they will give you a good deal ..just ask for it ! So Aruba is gorgeous just a bit overrated in price. If you get a good deal go for it ! if you pay full price ..still once in a lifetime you must go to see and feel Aruba !

Best family resort in Aruba!
Such a lovely place to stay whether it be as a family or couple. The food is great and the rooms all look onto the ocean. The Tamarijn is located on one of the best beaches in Aruba! My family have stayed many times and will go back again.
