As with the previous review by Gary J, it has taken me 6 months to write this and it still bothers me to think about our disappointing holiday. Before I continue though, I would like to emphasise the fact that our high expectations for this hotel lie solely with First Choice/Thomson who mislead and charged us a ridiculous amount for... More

Well I have waited 11 months to write this review and I am still very disappointed with the Tamarijn. I will make it brief. We stayed 10 days. low alcohol drinks, salty poor quality food, tired building and we stayed in a recently renovated room. filthy beaches with cigarette butts and trash thrown about. empty glasses piled up at convience...

My husband and I stayed here over Christmas and absolutely loved it! We ended up getting it at a phenominal price and could not resist. When we arrived we were told our room was one of the furthest from all the amenities, about which we were not pleased, but ended up loving our location. We stepped out our door and... More

Travelled with First Choice to this hotel but would recommend travelling with Thomson and staying at the sister hotel short walk along the beach (or regular golf cart ride away for the not so energetic), facilities are shared which is great but the beach at Tamarijnd Aruba is built up with rocks due to erosion, there are a couple of...

5 stars in my book.. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They make you feel like family. Each room has an ocean view. There is no bad room on the entire beach.. More

This was our first trip to Aruba. We were there 2/5/12-2/12/12. If you love the beach this is the resort for you. Every room has a great view and is right on the beach. Room: We were in a renovated room which was very nice--it was a little smaller than other places we had been but who cares you are... More

Just got back from second visit to the Tam in February. No complaints plenty to do and the beach is beautiful.. Rooms are clean and just standard, You are never in them anyway so it did not bother us much at all. If you are looking for 5 star then this is not the place for you. If you are... More

My family (including a 3 and 1year old) and I just finished a great week vacation at the resort (Feb.13-20). My wife and I were so skeptical for this place when we first booked it as its was not a 5+ Star place we normally go to, but we were so please we did. The room we had was on... More
