The Occidental Grand Aruba is now Barcelo. This is a very nice and friendly place. Attention to detail is lacking and there is a ton of room for improvements. No drink and food service by the pool. I think the biggest thing was the place is getting a bit tired. Broken toilet seat, batteries died in the door locks, hit or miss if the refilled your mini bar and art on the wall not level. The staff was mostly nice and want to serve. The beach was nice and the pool was nice as well. The people that come here were very nice and didn't see anyone partying and abusing the resorts privileges. The pool bar is a bit of a hassle to get to. People seem to like to hang out and drink and block people from getting drinks better to get out of the pool to get a drink.
