The Tropicana is undergoing renovations and progressing nicely (we are timeshare owners). The staff makes this resort - all are friendly and interested in ensuring your stay is wonderful. The buildings and rooms are clean and the daily housekeeping service is great - even when something small was not working correctly, it was repaired quickly. The new grocery Store (Super... More

My friend and I stayed here and got an incredible package deal for a half week getaway through an airline. The room was large and the bed comfortable, and the environment was fairly quiet; we slept very well. The resort itself does not offer much, though it has a giant pool with a slide (great for kids) and casino. They... More

There are two resturants, Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins, casino and a mini mart on property. It is conveniently located with a beautiful beach across the street. It is family friendly. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would return and... More

Fantastic deal at this guest friendly timeshare resort. We've been coming here for many years and we LOVE it. Close to everything. Friendly staff. Try it, you'll love it too. Best beach. Best waterslide on the island! Perfect for families with kids. With our own closeby high-paying casino, you won't have to leave the property at all.

Just spent 3 fantastic weeks at the Tropicana Aruba Resort & Casino. This place excels in everything from location to a super friendly staff.

Absolutely the dirtiest place I have ever stayed at. I can handle outdated rooms but it was filthy. The bathroom had pubic hairs in the tub from the previous guests. Dried food on the pans and silverware. The sheets on our bed were also dirty. It was disgusting. It was so bad it grossed my fiancé out. The only positive... More

While I can't "take it back," I'm using this review in our Operations Meeting this morning to discuss with the team so we can improve for the future.

Hi, Thanks for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm sorry if you had trouble getting a shade hut on the beach. All of the beaches in Aruba are public and those huts are distributed on a first-come first-served basis.

Bon Bini!Tropicana Entertainment acquired the former Aruban Resort & Casino. The resort will undergo major refurbishment, but we are currently in the design/planning phase. There has been some minor construction work, but the disturbances have been minimal and will not impact your stay.We have the largest hotel rooms on the island! Every suite has a full kitchen and plenty of room for four people to sleep comfortably in a one-bedroom unit. In 2013, the rooms were enhanced to include flat screen televisions, new mattresses, new bedding, new curtains, new artwork, and other refreshments. The project began in April and is estimated to be completed by mid-September. There are two restaurants at Tropicana: Pizza Bob’s and Buster’s Sports Bar & Grille. Additionally, there is a Dunkin Donuts, Baskin Robbins, Mini-market, Community Grills and the Crazy Parrot Swim-up Bar. Plus, there is a grocery store right across the street. There are many other restaurants within walking distance and our concierge in the lobby will be happy to make a reservation for you.The Trop Club & Casino is a boutique casino with 100 slot machines and 7 table. There are nightly promotions and entertainment four nights per week. Buster's Sports Bar shows all of the NFL games and UFC fights. The property is a very short walk to Eagle Beach. There are two large pools and a 150 ft. water slide. There is an on-site spa with massages available under the waterfall. We look forward to welcoming you!
