We are in Aruba celebrating my son's college graduation. Based on TA reviews we chose Marandi for one of our dinners. It is a short taxi ride from the high rise hotels and both of our drivers were exceptional. The setting was magnificent! Right on the water and the perfect location for watching a beautiful sunset. The wine by the... More

Food was excellent and setting was beautiful. Service was a bit slow, but not a problem in this setting. Very enjoyable.

It starts with an incomparable location. The wharf sits on the most tranquil inlet that has beautiful sunsets and twilight. The music that plays in the background accents the atmosphere and puts you in this state of relaxation that sets the tone for a most memorable evening. All of the waitstaff are true professionals that explain the menu clearly, are... More

After a rather long and winding drive from the Marriott Ocean Club, we arrived at this inviting restaurant on the water. By the way, the signage to and from the restaurant was excellent, so it is easy to find and to return to the main road back to town. The food was superb, as was the service, and the environment...

This was our first visit but definitely not our last!!! Everything was outstanding! The view is amazing! Sunset view over the ocean, fish swimming beside your table, very romantic! Our server was very friendly and extremely accomodating and welcoming. Welcome peach and champagne toast was very good! Wahoo was excellent. We had the Bacuti Duo and the Oriental Style. Both...

We had been told to eat at marandi - it was supposed to be out of this world!!! First of all, it is located approximately 25 minutes from the major hotels!! Secondly, it has a most amazing view - simply gorgeous sunset; you sit right on the water and see the fish swim around all night, which is very cool,... More

This is definitely one of our favorite places to eat on the island. We ate at the former location five years ago and returned this time with friends. The location is so quiet and serene and the food is delicious. The wait staff and management could not have been friendlier and more gracious. The only fault is that the drinks... More

The atmoshpere was lovely. We were there for sunset and it was just wonderful. The food selection was good, but our order of chicken was so overcooked it was like rubber. We sent it back and the next order was much better. I am never a fan of a charge for extra bread, even if it is tasty. This location... More
