Great day! All inclusive food and drinks. We didn’t end up getting the add ons to feed the flamingos but it was totally worth it for our first full day in Aruba. Good atmosphere for kids.
Tha flamingos were incredible!. The whole vibe was refreshing . My son enjoyed the aqua play and the bounce houses
I understand the appeal for those who enjoy water parks, especially families with kids, as well as those who like snorkeling. There's no real beach area and the water is rocky and full of coral. Beach shoes are an absolute must. In addition, the food is bad, as in really bad. The cheeseburger I ordered was pre-made, served with a slice of unmelted, American cheese on a grocery store-quality bun. I didn't bother to try the buffet. The frozen drinks were refreshing but service was very slow at the private cabana. The server at the private cabana said they could only deliver drinks because the flamingos might try to eat the food. However, guests are able to bring their own food back to the cabana. Save your money and go elsewhere.
Was great experience between the snorkeling and other activities available. Was able to get great pictures while snorkeling of many different species of fish.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the snorkeling and all the activities available. It’s great to know you captured some amazing photos of Aruba’s beautiful marine life. We appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure!
I am writing to share feedback regarding our recent visit. While our private cabana experience was enjoyable, the rest of the trip fell short of expectations.On the positive side, the cabana was comfortable, the complimentary champagne was a nice touch, and we loved the direct sea access and flamingo interactions. However, several major issues impacted our day. The food quality was poor for the price, and the self-serve buffet lacked adequate hand-washing or sanitizing stations. Additionally, the staff generally lacked hospitality, the mixed drinks were incredibly weak, and the provided snorkel gear was outdated and uncomfortable. A power outage during our visit also caused all drink and utility services to come to a standstill.The wildlife and cabana amenities were the only saving graces of our four-hour stay. I hope you will address these service, hygiene, and equipment issues for future guests.
A nice experience for those with kids.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review!
We mixed up dates on booking. Somehow our cabana date was correct (for December 2026) but our admission tickets were listed incorrectly (July 2026). I emailed and within minutes received a response. The situation was reconciled and new ticekts were sent. All of this was completed within minutes and without any headache on my end. We have not yet gone to De Palm Private island but the customer service is outstanding.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad we could quickly resolve the booking mix-up and make the process easy for you. Providing excellent customer service is always our goal. We look forward to welcoming you to De Palm Island in December and hope you have an unforgettable experience!
This was a fun experience for me. I was able to snorkel and ride the banana boat! We had burgers, chicken tenders, beer and mixed drinks which were good. The lounge chairs were very close to each other as we were unable to sit in the premier section. The beach is small and very rocky. You definitely need water shoes to walk in the water. We saw the flamingos and turtles too. It was fun. We left early after three hours, which was not a problem. The boat took us back and we caught a cab.
The chair areas are too crowded. You are literally on top on the person next to you. The water is very rock and can be dangerous. The description did not mention all the rocks on the beach. No towels are provided . Not really worth going. I was a bit disappointed The only nice thing was the food and drink availability.
It's a nice day trip. Nothing is spectacular but it's nice. Except the beach, it is very rocky. The beach at our hotel was much better. The one thing you should know is they send your pickup time the morning of which made us late. We thought we were being picked up at 10 and they switched at 8:30 am to 925 am
