This was our second stay at the Ocean Club. The first was several years ago. While the timeshare style villas are still a solid choice for families, not much has changed about them since our last visit. Our only complaint, and it was a minor one, was a somewhat stale odor in the villa. Otherwise, we were pleased with our... More

We just came back from a week stay at the Marriott ocean club which is more adult oriented and "civilized" compared to its neighbor the Marriott Surf Club. We stayed in a two bedroom suite which was a one bedroom ( full kitchen and living room ) with an attached guest room ( basically just a hotel room with a... More

our second year here. The staff does their best to pamper you, often going above and beyond. They remember you name, and what you like to eat and drink. The resort is clean and well maintained. The only down side is that we can not use the lazy river on the marriott property next door...but I understand. Though you do... More

We went to Aruba 19Apr-25Apr2013 (5 nights) with 8 adults and 2 children (2 x villas + 2 x guest rooms). We used someone else's timeshare slot and just paid for their maintenance fee, otherwise the nighty rate is very high. It's my favorite beach thus far (Been to Hawaii, Jamaica, DR, Bermuda, & Bahamas). The ocean water is blue... More

We have been coming to Aruba since2003 when we spent a week at the Westin with our 2 young children in a hotel room. We decided that would never happen again. Too cramped for space and 3 meals out every day gets rough. Then we discovered Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club with its condo style accommodations. We still eat out every... More

Very good stay at the Ocean Club. Facilities are nice and very Marriott-like, which is comforting for those that like a sense of familiarity. Yes, the food at the Pavilion beach bar and grill is expensive (as in a $10 hot dog), but convenience outweighs price in this case. Plus, it's pretty good food, and the drinks are even better....

This was our first time in Aruba, but it will definitely not be the last, although I wish there was a quicker way from the West Coast. This Marriott certainly lives up to the reputation of other Marriott timeshare properties we have stayed in. We own at Hyatt Highlands in Carmel and exchanged for a week here. The unit was... More

First visit to Aruba and the Marriott Aruba Ocean Club. If I had to some up my experience in one word it would be MAGNIFICENT. I will share some tips throughout this review to save you time, money, and a little confusion and/or aggravation. First, Aruba is a wonderful little island to which I expect to be returning time and... More

I already miss the banana bread from the little cafe downstairs, best $2.00 banana bread ever. Service at the cafe is excellent for a grab and go and very reasonable, always fresh. The room a 1/1 with full kitchen was wonderful, so clean, appointed well, free wifi. The beach is beautiful, if you want a hut, either pay to prebook... More
