Divi Aruba All Inclusive

People who complain about this resort are crazy. Is it more expensive then say, Mexico? Yes. But at the Divi you are paying for a beautiful beach, good food, and clean drinking water. We can't say enough good things about the Divi. Between the Divi all inclusive and the Tamarajin there are 5 sit down restaurants that require reservations, preferably two days in advance. I emailed concierge a week before our arrive to ensure a reservation on our first two nights. If you are a honeymooner, bring proof that you are (we brought our invitation). They will upgrade you (if available) to ocean view, give you t-shirts, champagne, etc. and you get a private dinner on the beach at a restaurant down the street, "Pure Ocean" at no extra expense. Our room was on the 4th floor of the only tall buildings and we had a great view! The room was clean and just what we needed. The beach always had chairs available. However, if you wanted a little hut for shade, you must be out there early. Probably around 7AM everyday. The beach was beautiful white sand and quiet. The main pool was great and we enjoyed BINGO at 2PM on MWF. There is also drink service around the main pool which was great! We loved the bars right on the beach- gorgeous sunset everyday. Always plenty of room to sit. We discovered the Sandpiper bar the last day- great hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch! We also ate at the bar with he "brick oven" pizza for lunch. *highly recommend the "Brown Lady" drink. We went to all 5 restaurants twice. All were very good. The steak and caramel cheesecake the the Red Parrot was delicious! Pure Lime was good Mexican with Margaritas and Sangria. Paparazzi was Italian. Ginger was Asian and my favorite- everything was amazing here. The Ginger mousse dessert was absolutely delicious. The last restaurant (..I forget the name) was very good. Food was delicious but if you're a part of 2 they put you with two other random guests and cook your own food. We sat with two foreigners that didn't know English so that was a little awkward- but overall good experience. We did the UTV tour which was amazing. Highly recommend to see cool sights around the Island and super fun to drive the UTVs. TIPS: Ask for OceanView room. Bring beach clips for your towel on the beach- always breezy here (in a great way!). Bring your own YETI or thermos for drinks- they melt fast in the plastic eco cups. If you prefer straws- bring your own, as well. No straws at the bar. Overall, I can't say enough good things about the Divi. The staff was great and very accommodating. Very relaxing vacation with good food! Lastly, the Divi beach is MUCH better than the Tamarajan FYI. If you're a beach person, stay at the Divi.

Waste of money, treated terrible. had a delayed plane and arrived acted like i didnt even have a reservation. didnt care that i had to pay for the day and half that i wasnt there. i was charged for it anyways. when i go on vacation, its supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable.

Finally returned to Divi after 5 years and it was just as good if not better than before. The improvements that have been made have just added to the resort. We stayed in room 517 in VISTA II with a magnificent ocean view and just 2 minute walk to either the beach or the pool and bar between VISTA II and VISTA III. Room was cleaned every day and every member of staff throughout were helpful, cheerful and we never had any problems with any at all. A lot has already been said about restaurants and the bars so I won’t say much other than that none of the meals we had at any of the restaurants - we tried them all - disappointed in any way. Also some people were critical of the choices available in the buffets, well all I can say is that I have been to very few buffets that cook fresh sirloin or ribeye steaks to your wishes.
