My husband and I stayed at the Surf Club for our honeymoon. We really enjoyed having access to a full kitchen. We only ate out 4 times over the entire week long stay! This worked out well as most restaurants in the high rise strip are closed during the lunch hour. We ate at the Captain's Gallery beachside restaurant and... More

I have to begin by saying my wife and I are not picky people. I really don't understand some of the people who write bad reviews about this place. We just returned from a week at the Marriott Surf Club in Aruba. We traveled in May with another couple. I will begin by responding to other people's complaints. Yes...you have... More

I have to tell everyone that when I found out there was no Hilton property in Aruba I was so mad, but the Surf Club is making me think strongly about changing my preference to Marriott. This place is clean, great for kids, and the staff are very friendly. Keep in mind that if you are not going in a... More

Just returned from a very relaxing week at Aruba's Marriott's Surf Club (May, 2013). There were 4 adults in our party who enjoyed the lazy river. Disappointed though that rafts larger than 36" were allowed, causing "traffic jams" in the river. Security was all over and the entire staff was very welcoming. The iguanas, chameleons and geckos can be found... More

First time to Aruba. Traveled over the spring break in April. AWESOME time!! Resort is very family focused. It was perfect for us since we have an 11 and 6 year old. Not sure if it was because of the month that we traveled down there, but we had no problem finding chairs by the pool. If you are super... More

My family has stayed here for several years in a row and we really enjoy our vacations. I believe some of the reviews are creating the wrong impressions about the resort. 1. Yes, I am one of those "crazy" vacationers who gets to the pool area before 7am to secure the seats I want for the day. I do this... More

Well, it is the morning after my return to Philly, and sad not to wake up to the beautiful view of the ocean at the Surf Club. My head is spinning as I try to recount our wonderful week of vacation. This was my 4th trip to this resort for my wife and I, and the first for our 2... More

Upon arrival I was not impressed with the overall property - the lobby felt a bit outdated with it's tacky "nautical them" but being fair just seemed mid-grade. We waited a bit in line so we could get or room keys...our fault that we forgot to ask the typical questions at the desk about the property and we laughed a... More

I read a few of the reviews, interesting the different expectations of a property like this. We were standard renters, not Marriott Vacation Club members. First, the staff works pretty hard to keep the place clean, despite the fact that the pool area is somewhat undersized for the overall size of the complex, and there are some real weaknesses in...
