Right on the beach (literally) so a very romantic setting. We weren't there for a meal at sunset but am sure it is great. Even in the dark, it was very pretty. Our whole meal was excellent, but we especially enjoyed the Aruban Seafood Soup, the Sea Bass and the Pineapple Carpaccio. The pineapple in this last dish was ok,... More

First time experience at Passions on the Beach. We had a lovely table with white string lights wrapped around each and every palapa. We did not go for the sunset dinner time but still enjoyed the beach experience. Food and drinks were delicious, a bit on the pricey side but you get what you pay for! Excellent service staff, they... More

We were staying at the La Cabana and decided to stay close one night. We kept seeing this place from our resort during the day, so we decided to walk down to try it out. Upon arriving, we realized that we should have grabbed a reservation. Make sure you do this if you plan to dine here. We did not... More

we ate here for our 30th anniversary. Setting is awesome. Food was great as was the service. The staff was very accomodating, taking pictures for us and others. Highly recommend!

My wife and I both thought the meal was fantastic, from start to finish. Never rushed to order, or eat and leave to open up the table. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted great (and priced very reasonably as well!), and our server (Naomi) was friendly, helpful and provided simply brilliant service. The sunset was beautiful, the atmosphere was... More

We've been here several times over the years and it never disappoints. Had dinner with three friends (we opted for an 8pm dinner since we weren't interested in a sunset/romantic evening) and all of entrees and appetizers were excellent. The crab salad and the tuna tropical were my favorites (tuna was cooked just the way I asked - medium rare.)... More

Excellent meal, gorgeous sunset and all around amazing experience. They had a violin playing and it made for great dinner! I would highly recommend having a romantic dinner here.

A co-worker recommended this restaurant, and after reviewing it on TripAdvisor I couldn't resist making reservations. The atmosphere is romantic, the staff very attentive, the food was superb, and it was simply very relaxing. I ordered the Grouper with a coconut jacket and banana sauce. My husband ordered the special that included fish and shrimp. Both plates were fresh, nicely... More

This was our second visit to Aruba and our second visit to Passions. Last year, my husband and I enjoyed the special atmosphere and the food so much that we both wanted to come back on this trip, and Passions remains his favorite restaurant on Aruba (mine is currently Yemanja). Before our first visit, we’d never experienced dining on the... More

After having read all the positive reviews we were so excited to visit Passions on the beach, yet it did not go that smooth as expected. I must admit the idea of the restaurant on the beach is quite romantic: tables on the sand with a lovely view over the ocean. But I guess my positive impression about this place... More
