Love this hotel cheaper than the RIU and only 2 hotels away. Great Area, within walking distance to all kinds of shops, on the Bus Route if you want to go downtown. Foods good, drinks are great, friendly staff. I have been there 5 times. More

Beautiful beach, great restaurants but not so good buffet. My problem was with the room. There was three in our room. We had very little storage for clothing and the bathtub was another story. I don't know who designed it but if you are under 5'4" you will have trouble getting in and out. Requested a bath mat and that... More

This was our first trip to Aruba which isn't known to be an all inclusive type of island. We return to the Riu Palace Las Aericas in Cancun every year because the service is Excellent. The service here just didn't compare. Weather was great though, unlike Cancun where it rains but storms come and go quickly. Returning to Cancun this... More

I thought for the price, it was a conservative way to see Aruba. The rooms were outdated, smell of must gets me and our view wasn't great, but oh well. The entertainment was definitely not high quality, those rooms were also outdated and they didn't ever have a lot of people in the room as they were also outdated and... More

Hello All, I would like to start off by warning all of you that there will be MANY Negative reviews on the Occidental Grand. One woman complained her "milk was not cold enough" at the breakfast buffet. I have read a few bad reviews on the food as well. I am 5 feet 2 inches and I weigh in at... More

This was our first visit to aruba and not our last. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and this hotel made our trip amazing. The food was excellent, the rooms clean, the staff amazing and friendly. We also met people from New York - must say they are the friendliest people and made our trip worth every penny spent....

This was our first vacation in Aruba. We stayed at the Occidental Grand Aruba with a room on the 6th floor with ocean view and view of the pool. We would like to thank all the great staff for making our trip to Aruba a great one. A special thank you to Junior (front desk) who was always there for... More

We have been to Aruba several times before and stayed somewhere else. This facility was by far better. The food was fabulous, the grounds and rooms were clean. All you have to do is overlook the staff for the timeshare, just tell them you are not interested (if not) and they will leave you alone. The bartenders are great and... More

We stayed at the Occidental Grand Aruba as time share owners in which our time share (Club Navigo / Island One) was a partner with the Occidental Vacation Club. As owners, we did receive perks that others who are just paying their entire stay for may have not. We had a Suite on the 9th (top) floor; 2 rooms combined... More
