We came to Aruba for 7 night and booked hotel way in advance. Pictures we saw on the Internet are so photoshopped to make the area look so much nicer than it is. This was our view - ground floor dirty floor and looking out at the restaurant's back door. Pool chairs come in the first come first serve basis but you can't get the chairs on the beach for some reason and you have to enter the draw every day at 3-4pm for next day which is an absolute joke. Service is more or less OK although don't buy cocktails on the beach. 2 days in a row we were sitting down to watch World Cup and I was watching guys making cocktails 95% of the time it was just pure cocktail sugar mixers especially if its a frozen one. I saw only 2 bartenders in all 7 days actually adding alcohol. Overall experience was very disappointing but we didn't let this spoil our holiday. Oh and one day I've ordered veggie salad from the restaurant and it came just lettuce apples and onion (was suppose to have tomatoes cucumbers etc!) I've asked the restaurant about it they told me they run out of vegetables. That was in the middle of the week!
