Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino

The Marriott Stellaris got it right where it counts. The rooms are clean, modern, and actually feel like the luxury experience you’re paying for. Service was excellent throughout our stay, and the location is quieter than the busier strip area, which made a big difference in overall feel and relaxation. For the price, the value was hard to beat. Everything from check-in to the room itself felt polished and well maintained. The only area where it falls short is the pool and beach not quite as impressive as some neighboring resorts. But honestly, that’s a minor trade off given how strong everything else is. If you want a resort where the room matches the promise, this is it.

Was not impressed with the stellaris. We had high expectations, but thought we were nickel and dimed through our stay. We did not expect the $70 per day resort fee on top of the expensive rates. Drinks and food were very expensive and sub par. Staff was just ok. The issue with renting palapas was also very frustrating, as we had to spend another $30 to rent, as there were very limited palapas for free. Would not stay again. Marriott overall was disappointing .

My room was fairly clean, but there were several things that could definitely be improved. The coffee maker needs an upgrade, and there were no tea kettles in the room. Also, there were no slippers provided, which I usually expect as a standard hotel amenity. Lotion was only given on the first day at check-in and never replenished. Another inconvenience was the lack of a “Do Not Disturb” or housekeeping sign for the door. On our last day, housekeeping came very late, and despite requesting coffee and lotion, we didn’t receive them. After the room was serviced, there was no coffee restocked, and we were only given one towel. On the positive side, the adults-only pool area was very nice—clean, relaxing, and with friendly staff. The gym was also quite good. However, the beach area was a bit crowded, and the water didn’t meet my expectations. I’ve stayed at Divi Village before, and the water there was amazing in comparison. Aruba is still one of my favorite places to visit, and I will definitely return—but unfortunately, I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again.

The pool and beach had no seating available even though you pay $69 fee. The towel people were rude. The manager promised us a seat under the hut, she never out the reservation through .

Such a Beautiful resort! Very friendly, helpful & accommodating staff. Food was delicious & there was an abundant selection of choices. Room was very clean, spacious & well designed with an amazing view! We loved the pool design & resort location on the gorgeous beach! We enjoyed our stay to the fullest & can’t wait to come back again soon!

Marriott property was lovely but unfortunately we came home and found out we contracted a bacterial infection common with traveling. Typically picked up through water or food. Would consider the Marriott not tell guests water is always safe. Maybe consider giving each guest in the room a bottle of water at 500ml instead of 3 smaller bottles. Found it strange that are room had four guest but only received 3 bottles. Finally would recommend not having water stations filled with cut fruit. Looks nice but fruit contaminated in the kitchen or not washed properly could be an issue. Property was nice but will not be returning to Aruba. The same issues exist here as do at other islands but pay a hefty premium for the location.

Absolutely beautiful clean hotel in the perfect location. Staff was super accommodating and friendly. Pools and beach was amazing. Highly recommend

I had a great stay! The room was very clean and well-maintained, which made it comfortable and relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back again.

I stayed at the Marriott in Aruba for five days and it was incredibly frustrating. It was nearly impossible to get a beach chair with an umbrella unless you showed up before 6 a.m. to claim one. For a resort of this caliber, guests shouldn’t have to wake up at dawn and compete for basic beach seating. It really took away from the experience. Plus you pay $75 a day for a resort fee, but you don’t actually get any amenities.
