Consider this a 4.5 star review, but I'm rounding up. I spent my final two nights in Aruba at the Hilton and had a very nice stay. The resort grounds are absolutely beautiful, with great landscaping. You'll probably run into a few lizards and iguanas on your way to/from the beach and pool. I arrived at the hotel around 1:00pm, and my room wasn't ready until 4:00pm. I ran into the same issue at the Marriott, where I spent my first three nights. Spring Break is peak travel time to Aruba and every resort is incredibly busy. My room was in the Aruba tower, which is taller and contains larger rooms. I'd agree with calling it "Partial Ocean View", since you had to look pretty far to see the ocean. It was spacious, and very clean. I feel like they could have added another lounge chair, since there was some empty space. The two pools were enjoyable, but unlike at the Marriott, don't have any music, so it felt a little low key for me. Their beach was stunning, but I wasn't a fan of the Chicken wrap from Gilligan's restaurant. I also paid for a palapa, which provided great shade. It was $45 for the day, but most things in Aruba are expensive. Breakfast at Laguna was great. One morning I was seated right next to the fish pond.

Breakfast at Laguna was great. One morning I was seated right next to the fish pond. I really liked their concept of the "Endless Breakfast", with a continental buffet and mini portions of the hot dishes. All of the breakfast servers were friendly.

The Hilton has an excellent location, steps away from the main strip of restaurants and shops. During the day this street is quiet, but becomes a happening location at night. I enjoyed my stay at the Hilton and would certainly return. More
