A great day to experience a beach club. The prices of the premium seating needs to be reduced for what you're getting. Outside of that the experience is worthwhile. If you're in Aruba for a few days this is a great way to spend your day!
Absolutely not worth the money, even with the VIP section. Food was bad, drinks were bad and weak, the “water park” is basically 3 slides and 1 was not working. The “exclusive access” to snorkeling area that you get with VIP section was not available because they ran out of snorkeling equipment, the “unlimited” banana boat rides were at least a 45 minute wait, the waiter service in the VIP area was inconsistent. We left early because it was not enjoyable and a complete waste of money.
The activity although nice, was not worth the full day trip. We were ready to go and having completed most activities before 1pm. Lunch was 2 chicken tenders and a small batch of fries which were limited to 2 servings per person. The other restaurant had a bit more variety, but the food itself was not good. We enjoyed the obstacle course on the water and the beach area. I dint think the price to get in was worth it, unless your a big drinker. I would save my money and do an excursion.
This was a great experience I definitely have some very memorable moments like falling off the banana boat, which was extraordinary. Snorkeling was also very fun lots of colorful fish and the workers were all so nice and attentive this is a must when visiting Aruba
A true oasis awaits! DO NOT BYPASS THIS EXCURSION! The check in process was seamless and the 5-minute ferry ride was great and pretty fun! Light musical mix was on deck! This was one of the highlights of my family's vacation! The 14, 17, 18 and 20 yr olds loved the floating obstacle course! There were lifeguards on duty, each located on opposite sides of the floatable platform. Parents, singles, couples and other adults enjoyed sliding down the water tube. While others like me, either dipped in the water or lounged on the lawn chairs! Food options were ok for us. Not sure if they had any for vegetarians though. Unlimited fountain drinks, water, ice, and coffee were available. Music selection was great as it bounced out of different genres, decades and nationalities. Watched the flamingos outside of the barrier. Prettiest thing ever! They are beautiful up close and watching them sleep with one leg up and their head tucked behind them. The unfortunate yet funniest part was seeing 2 flamingos drink someone's alcoholic beverage and the patron run trying to stop them. Epic fail. The flamingos went into Birds Gone Wild mode, pecking at each other for a few minutes. Please don't leave your beverages unattended, as it was announced almost every 5 minutes. And oh yeah! Don't feed the birds! They are smart, keep on coming back and bring others to hound you for food! We also go to see turtles and they were BEAUTIFUL! Opportunities to snorkel and ride on a water raft that is pulled by a boat! This is well worth the money! The time is well spent, and you will leave completely renewed!
This is my second time coming back and its always a GREAT TIME!! they've added more to the island which is so exciting.
I had fun but the rocks in the water were hard to walk on and kept me from enjoying the water. Food was great!
Extremely family friendly and enjoyable for everyone in the family! Be prepared to have lots of fun, don't for get sunscreen or water shoes because they are a MUST!
Overpriced and underwhelming. There’s not much to do. This might be good for 5 and under but I still think it’s overpriced and would not recommend it.
Very pleased, book the added amenities beforehand.
