Last Updated
Have you ever booked an thrilling trip solely to be met with disappointment when your room doesn’t stay as much as expectations?
I’ve traveled a LOT recently (at the very least 80 flights in the final 12 months), and have definitely had my fair proportion of sub-par rooms.
Well, why not eliminate that fear utterly by reserving a resort that has ALL suites?
That’s proper, there’s a shocking resort on the equally beautiful island of Aruba that’s calling your identify, daring you to discover a single room that isn’t as much as your requirements (trace: you received’t discover one).
The Embassy Suites by Hilton Aruba Resort is nothing in need of wonderful, and I already can’t wait to return!
Another Day In Paradise
While this journey was an absolute blast, it wasn’t my first time visiting Aruba. I knew the common structure, and was actually curious what the Embassy Suites could be like when it comes to location.
If you’ve by no means been, there are 2 in style locations to remain if you’re heading to a resort in Aruba — Palm Beach and Eagle Beach.
The Embassy Suites? Right in the center! 🤩
On my first journey to Aruba, I stayed on Palm Beach, which is beautiful! But, I didn’t get the likelihood to take a look at Eagle Beach.
For this journey, the Embassy Suites Aruba was in the good location to have the ability to take pleasure in BOTH seashores.
This time, I wasn’t alone both, so I liked that Liz and I might have the ability to go to the seaside I already knew was superior, in addition to Eagle Beach (which we’d come to search out equally superior).
Plus, staying at the Embassy Suites offers you free entry to seaside chair leases and bike leases, so we have been capable of get to both seaside with ease and even have our personal chairs to arrange as soon as we received there.
For instances we didn’t really feel like biking to a seaside, the Embassy Suites had its personal seaside proper out entrance that even has an underground tunnel resulting in it so that you don’t must cross the avenue!
Location, location, location…. I do know I do know I’m going on and on about it, however there’s yet another perk I can’t not point out: there are wonderful eating places, outlets, and extra inside strolling and biking distance.
While you undoubtedly don’t even want to go away the resort in the event you don’t really feel prefer it, I actually wish to discover a little bit of the space that I’m in once I journey.
This made the Embassy Suites the good match for me, and once I did depart the property I knew I used to be inside strolling distance to so many enjoyable issues to do and take a look at.
When we head again to Aruba, the location alone will certainly draw me again to the Embassy Suites.
First Impressions Matter
No matter what you inform your self after a clumsy conversational fumble, first impressions do matter.
When I walked into the Embassy Suites, the very first thing I seen was how polished the whole lot was. It is the latest lodge on the island, and it reveals!
Everything is pristine and particularly curated to make you really feel like you might be someplace particular.
In truth, certainly one of the very first issues you’ll discover is the lights hanging above the foyer entrance that resemble birds.
This is definitely to pay tribute to the truth {that a} hen sanctuary lies instantly behind the lodge.
Checking in was a breeze, and we have been in our suite very quickly. And simply in case you forgot, EVERY room is a set.
Traveling with somebody who likes to remain up late and watch TV? Well, they will hand around in the different room when you go to mattress early.
Traveling with children? Then the Embassy Suites is THE place for you. The property doesn’t cost further for teenagers, a rarity on the island.
All the couches have pull out beds, so the children can have their very own separate space to sleep at night time and you’ll sleep soundly in your individual room figuring out you’ve scored certainly one of the greatest offers on the island.
We have been fortunate sufficient to remain in certainly one of the bigger suites, and may’t suggest it sufficient! Not solely is it extra spacious, you additionally get 2 balconies to take pleasure in!
I imply, simply LOOK at this room beneath:
We’d solely simply checked into our room, and I used to be already a fan of Embassy Suites Aruba.
A Warm Welcome Indeed
Have you ever paid 1000’s simply to get to your lodge, then dished out extra to your nightly charge, simply to search out that ordering a drink goes to place a dent in your pockets sooner than you’ll be able to say “rum punch, please”?
At the Embassy Suites, you’ll get 2 drinks free every day throughout their night Cocktail Reception, the good method to cap off your each day adventures as you transition into “night mode”.
After checking in to our wonderful room and unpacking, we have been capable of head down and get our free cocktails to spend a while unwinding from our journey day earlier than dinner.
This turned a staple in our each day routine at the Embassy Suites, and was a good time for us to speak about our adventures we had for the day, play a card sport, and simply relax earlier than dinner and night actions.
Dinner was additionally unbelievable, although by the time it got here round we had already grown to anticipate subsequent degree service, and we weren’t disenchanted!
In truth, the meals was so good at the Embassy Suites that we determined towards consuming out every night time in favor of hanging out at the lodge.
One factor you MUST do throughout your keep is to order the tequenos (Caribbean Cheese Sticks).
The Aruba Experience
So far we’d solely had a day and night at the lodge and Aruba was already a implausible journey. But, despite the fact that you can completely keep on resort the complete time and have an awesome journey, don’t overlook to get out and discover!
Aruba is a beautiful island, and there are tons of issues to do if you are there.
One of our favorites? The WATER!
I’m not fairly sure I used to be meant to return into this life as a human… any likelihood I get to leap in (and below) the water, I take it!
That’s why certainly one of our must-dos whereas in Aruba was snorkeling. While we’re each licensed to dive, we thought a day on a catamaran with Red Sail Sports Aruba could be a enjoyable method to see a few of the marine life whereas additionally having fun with the boat life for the day, and we have been proper!
A fast experience to the marina from the lodge and we have been on the water very quickly.
The crew was wonderful (and hilarious, significantly you’ll be able to’t NOT have a superb time with them), and the spots we stopped to snorkel have been lovely.
We have been diving and snorkeling in lots of locations throughout the Caribbean, and Aruba lived as much as our expectations.
If you wish to get in the water like us, you should have a good time with Red Sail! Not to say the free drinks and lunch whereas on board.
We even noticed our favourite fish, a juvenile yellowtail damselfish.
If you see the bluest blue fish you’ve ever seen glowing as the Aruban solar bounces off their scales, you’ve noticed one.
After an incredible day at sea, we headed again to the Embassy Suites Aruba and frolicked by the pool in our Cabana that we had reserved.
The pool is large, and there are many areas round to hang around as properly. We caught up on a bit of labor and skim subsequent to the pool for some time.
After this, we took benefit of motorbike leases and went into city for gelato. There is a extremely cool space that appears prefer it was ripped proper out of Italy, with a restaurant referred to as Giannis to match!
Right in the similar ‘courtyard’ space, there’s a double decker bus that serves gelato, and I don’t know in the event you knew this, however gelato tastes higher in Aruba 😉. After a day in the solar, a motorcycle experience as the climate cooled adopted by some gelato was a ten/10.
Once we headed again to the lodge, we had our nightly ritual of free cocktails and reliving our adventures for the day whereas we performed playing cards.
The good method to put together for one more wonderful dinner on the balcony overlooking a beautiful sundown!
Where We’re Going, We Don’t Need Roads
We are huge followers of attempting new issues. I imply, you don’t bounce into the journey business full time in the event you don’t wish to attempt new issues, it’s like the complete level proper?!
That’s why we do what we do, and typically you do one thing that instantly makes you wish to go once more!
That occurred to me throughout my first journey to Aruba. I went on a UTV tour and had an absolute blast, I knew right away I needed to get Liz to attempt it too!
Thankfully we got that likelihood with Fofoti Tours & Transfer.
They picked us up proper from the Embassy Suites Aruba, and we have been getting off street heading to the north finish of the island very quickly!
Since I had already been earlier than, I used to be the passenger princess the complete time whereas Liz took us off-road to some unbelievable surroundings.
Going to this facet of the island appears like you might be visiting the moon. The space is totally undeveloped and appears completely totally different from the resorts and seashores you see when again at the lodge.
During your tour you’ll get to experience over some actually enjoyable terrain in your method to see a couple of highlights like a pure bridge and the California Lighthouse.
Your final cease is refreshing, so put on your swimsuit and prepare to take pleasure in Tres Trapi Beach!
The ‘beach’ is admittedly small however very fairly. There is a spot that you may bounce in, and the water feels wonderful. It’s additionally a good way to scrub off the dust you’ve probably amassed on your self throughout your offoading adventures.
We forgot our swimsuits, however we didn’t let that cease us, we simply jumped in with our garments on! 😂
A UTV tour is such a cool method to see a really distinctive facet of the island, and TOURS did such an awesome job of creating it seamless and enjoyable!
You’ll discover a theme right here for our subsequent exercise: we received again to the Embassy Suites Aruba, grabbed our free cocktails, and talked about how wonderful our day was!
Dinner was as soon as once more unbelievable, and by this level we have been regulars! The waiter knew us, knew what we needed to drink, and requested us about our keep. We felt actually at house and liked ending our days like this.
All Good Things Must Come To An End
Unfortunately, we will’t stay at The Embassy Suites Aruba (I requested 😂 ), and our final morning was upon us.
But, we weren’t going to let that cease us from having fun with ourselves!
On our bike experience to get gelato, we seen a butterfly backyard proper subsequent door to the Embassy Suites and determined to test it out earlier than leaving for the airport.
First issues first… it’s value it!
It felt a bit expensive ($20 a pop), however we realized after we purchased the tickets that they’re legitimate for the period of your keep in Aruba.
We have been leaving in a couple of hours, however now we all know for subsequent time!
Walking in was an emotional expertise. The butterflies are all so quiet and mild and the gardens are lovely.
You naturally really feel a hush come over you as quickly as you step in. We seen they even do yoga classes there typically which might have been an incredible expertise!
Leaving Is Just As Easy As Arriving
When it was finally time to leave, checkout was just as easy as checking in, and the airport was nearby (less than 15 minutes).
Plus, another perk of Aruba is you get to do U.S. customs before taking off, so that way, when you land in the U.S., you can skip it!
Remember, once you get through the initial security check in Aruba when departing, you aren’t done if you are heading to the U.S., you need to continue to the right where you will go through U.S. security and customs.
We can’t wait to get back to Aruba, and when we go the Embassy Suites will be at the top of our list!
