From the start of the stay until the end this was by far one of the coziest, most romantic, island/beach perfect hotel I've ever stayed at. Everything about the hotel makes you feel happy and like you're actually on a secluded island getaway. The most amazing thing about this hotel was that it didn't feel like it was on Palm Beach with all the high rises, it just felt like you were in your own little corner of Aruba.

He has a very large back yard oasis that we enjoyed relaxing in before and after going out. We had a ref in our room for drinks.

Very nice experience. Staff was wonderful. Only issue was we had a Food & Beverage credit on our account that we were not told about. Last day found out from friends and it is a use it or lose it credit. Wish we knew earlier.

The beach was great and it was easy to relax and enjoy the whole resort. The staff in the restaurants and bar were friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed the Christmas Mass. I would not hesitate to return on my next trip to Aruba.

Fabiola was an awesome host, and did everything she could to make our stay a memorable one. Our only "OK" rating is because we felt the pool was too small for the 5 units, there were only 6 lounge chairs for all guests, and only one area was reliably shaded around the pool. Also, the units aren't well insulated and so we could hear the other guests' voices resonating through the walls. This said, we'd go back to see Fabiola... in a jiffy: she's an amazing woman, and so likeable! The owner of...

This was our second time visiting JOIA and it was an excellent stay like the first time, which is why we returned. We had a minor inconvenience on our third day but one of the managers Mariana went above and beyond to rectify the situation. We were truly appreciative and thankful for the level of service she provided.

The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba is, overall, an excellent hotel. It is aesthetically pleasing, on a lovely stretch of beach, and with many fine qualities. Service, especially Front Desk and Concierge, is outstanding. Housekeeping is to be commended on how clean they keep everything, which is not easy as a beach property. Especially appreciated that they really cleaned and replenished towels and water at turn-down so you could have everything fresh after showering from a day at the beach but in time for...

Enjoyed the 5night-4day stay at the Hotel. Very clean and well maintained. Can see attention to detail all over the hotel. In the design of the rooms, facilities, service etc.
Breakfast included had a large number of options, some of which changed daily. The large seating area ensures, you are never out of a table to enjoy the breakfast. Made to order omlettes were really good.
Even though the Hotel is not directly attached to the beach. You can cross the not-busy-at-all road to reach the...

LOVED our stay here and will be back for sure. Beautiful beaches, great staff and grounds were lovely. Only negatives were that breakfast buffet was mediocre and I would have loved to have robes available for after showering. Highly recommend!

The resort was wonderful. Very clean.
The staff for the most part was cordial but not as helpful and welcoming as you would expect coming to Aruba for the first time.

This hotel has it all. Amazing 5-star service, clean and spacious rooms, pristine white sand beach and so much to do! The adults only pool is also a great addition for people looking for calm and quiet.

The resort was beautiful and of course the beaches behind the Marriott resorts are amazing. The hotel is on the upper NW side of Aruba. The Resort’s grounds are breathtaking from sunrise to sunset. Like any resorts, food prices are on the expensive side. There’s a Hertz rental on the grounds and access to many water excursions and rentals less than .5 miles of the resort. My only complaint was the sofa in the room cushion was horrible. The hotel is going under renovations in Q2 2025.

We loved our stay at the Divi Phoenix. It was perfect for our first visit to Aruba. The proximity to the beach was great and made it super easy to reserve a palapa each morning.
Drinks made by Sandra at the pool bar were the best!
Getting our beach towels from Sandra each morning was a delight, she was lovely :)
Highly recommend choosing the Divi Phoenix for your next trip.
