Aruba clocks in as a vacation paradise for those seeking sand and sea, and Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino offers travelers the quintessential Caribbean getaway. Here's our full review of the property.
This sprawling beachfront resort is located on Palm Beach and offers almost every amenity imaginable. It's best for families but would undoubtedly make for a fun group vacation. Plus, the adults-only section alone is worth booking this property (spoiler alert: it's stunning).
The Look of Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino
Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino is located on Palm Beach, which is where you'll find most of the destination's high-rise hotels. The property lies on 12 acres of beachfront real estate and has one of— if not the most — beautiful garden landscaping out of all other nearby resorts with lush vegetation, waterfalls, and palm trees.
You'll instantly feel "on vacation" the moment you enter the open-air lobby that looks out to the Caribbean Sea. Inside, 359 guest rooms and suites feel new and fresh with tropical-chic vibes, stone quartz bathrooms, and handcrafted furniture. Of course, there's Hyatt's signature Grand Bed, which is truly, incredibly comfortable. Guests will also find nine food and beverage options, a fitness center, tennis courts, the Zoi'A Spa, and a new Regency Club.
The Vibe at Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino
The tropical vacation vibe can be felt all throughout the property, whether you're sipping frozen drinks at the swim-up bar or practicing yoga on the beach.
Also, keep in mind that the resort appeals to so many people because there's just so much to do. Daily complimentary activities abound, including aerial yoga, meditation, mixology workshops, and cooking classes.
Who Will Love Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino
The resort offers plenty to do in the water and on land, making it the perfect place for everyone in the family. For example, those with children will love the resort for its massive pool complex, which is complete with a two-story slide. (Adults are welcome to zip down the slide, too.) Gamers have also hit the jackpot here with the on-site casino.
Who Might Not Love Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino
The party crowd should look elsewhere as there's not much on-site nightlife (at least in later evening hours). Additionally, those who prefer boutique properties may be overwhelmed by the size, while the family-friendly vibe might turn off couples who want peace and quiet.
Best Amenity at Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino
The adults-only pool, Trankilo, recently underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation. For a worth-it splurge, rent one of the swim-up cabanas, complete with a TV, refreshments, and plenty of private lounge space.
What's Included at Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa & Casino
Your room rate includes free parking and recreational facilities like the fitness center, tennis courts, and two pools (the family activity pool and adults-only Trankilo pool).
The resort also offers a variety of immersive experiences such as chef-led cooking classes, master mixology classes, painting classes, and daily wellness classes like aerial yoga and meditation. The weekly Artisan Community Market, which features local artisans and handcrafted goods, is another highlight.
