Amazing first stay at Tamarjin
Had a wonderful experience with my 10 year old daughter. Beautiful quiet place. Very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful Great food choices (even for the pickiest eaters as my daughter). Rooms are newly renovated.
Greatly Needed Vacation
My Wife and I traveled to the Tamarijn from January 23rd to January 29th. We arrived at 1:30 pm and were warmly greeted by the bellhop who immediately got our luggage from our Wix taxi. We had our temperature taken and were brought up to the front desk to check in. It took only minutes to checkin and we were told our Deluxe room was ready. We were taken by shuttle to the room , all this took less than 15 minutes from arrival. The newly renovated room are spectacular! They are a lot bigger and so much nicer than the last time we stayed here 1n 2018. The king bed was so comfortable, and the bathroom is so nice with the double sinks and rain shower head walk in shower. You can't beat the views of the beach and ocean from the room. We loved the restaurants at the Tamarijn,. We ate at the Paparazzi Italian restaurant which was our favorite. We also ate at the Ginger asian restaurant which was so good also. The palm Grill where you get to cook your meal at the table was so much fun. The bars are all so good and the Bunker bar is great for the views over the ocean. I now have to give special thanks to several individuals who made our vacation so special. Edwin one of the bartenders who we have become friends with in our number of trip to the tamarijn is a great person besides a great bartender. Another bartender Jorge is one of the funniest men I know and also a very good bartender who makes it so much fun to have drinks at the bar he is working. John is another bartender who we know for a number of years and will do he vest best to make sure you are having a great time. I can not end this review without mentioning Janine one of the front desk staff who helped us so much our our difficulty in obtaining our return home CoVid test results. She went above and beyond in helping us and making sure all was taken care of. My wife and I can't thank her enough, and the Tamarijn is lucky to have her! In closing I will recommend the Tamarijn to anyone traveling to Aruba as it is one special place to stay at. I will also add they did an exceptional job in these hard CoVid times and made you feel safe no matter where or what you were doing .
Always an amazing time
I can not say enough about the amazing staff at the tamarijin all inclusive resort. The moment we checked in we had a bellman grab our luggage and drove us to our rooms. The drinks are phenomenal and so is the food! It was different than usual because of COVID but we felt so safe. They have hand sanitizing stations all around the resort with employees reminding you to sanitize before entering a restaurant or coming back from being off the resort. They checked our temperatures whenever we stepped back onto the resort. No matter what the ask was they staff was always smiling and so helpful. We will be back! thank you!!!
Disappointed
This only gets 3 stars purely based on the friendliness of the staff or it be a 2 stars. I appreciate it’s very quiet with lack of tourist but I still paid the same price for a holiday that is advertising all the restaurants to choose from. Thankfully you do have the sister hotel Divi to add to different places to eat but it was very frustrating daily to find most closed. The price should reflect this. The bedrooms are lovely as they’ve been updated, so mood lighting and smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Video on them if you have an account. Annoys me when cleaning knocks on the door so early tho. I’m on holiday and don’t want to get up at crack of dawn, so had to keep putting sign on door. Maids came back when I took it off tho. It’s called the friendly island for a reason and the people are exceptionally lovely. I decided to stay longer on the island as UK locked down for the third time and the staff were really helpful in suggesting apartments etc. As like most places in this environment the staff hours have been cut as have their wages so they are very reliant on tips. Us Brits are not used to tipping (sorry Arubians) My only complaint about staff was from the Divi when I ate at the Red Parrot, it’s supposed to be fine dining. It’s far from it. Very basic menu and the staff stood around chatting more than keeping an eye on tables. Several times I had to grab attention to be served. Tamarjin staff were a lot more attentive. I paid a lot of money for 2 weeks all inclusive but I don’t feel I got the holiday I booked for the price. There is no room service and no soft drinks in the fridge. You have to get a shuttle everywhere if you are in the end block (it’s a nice walk to the hotel part but when it’s hot it’s uncomfortable). Shuttle service ends at 11pm although the security staff will take over after that time to help out. The security were lovely, especially Delroy, always chatted and made sure everything was ok. Would I return to this hotel? No. Basically there are such lovely apartments about that I would just get a flight and rent one of those next time but I would definitely come back, I’ve loved the consistent temperature of 28 degrees. Most days it’s over cast abs that’s just how I like it
WE LOVED IT ♥️
Amazing place to stay even during a worldwide pandemic we had the best time. Although it was not busy as it would’ve been considering the circumstances, there was enough people and staff on the resort to not feel secluded. Check in was delightful, we were advised to take our temperature and sanitise our hands before heading to the check in desk. The check in service was straight forward and friendly. We were given a company tote bags with two reusable water bottles, our room keys and a Porter and caddy cart we’re waiting to take us to our room. Our room was on the beach front and newly refurbished, we were hidden away at the end of the resort, room 2512, it was on the second floor quite & peaceful mostly. Personally I found the bed mattress to be hard for my taste but my fiancé didn’t mind it. They had flat screen wall mounted TV’s with Netflix & prime video which you could log in to! They had a great mood lighting feature built in so you could change the colour surrounding the headboard. We had a mini fridge unfortunately there was nothing in it, no water or nothing after a long flight. Shower room wasn’t perfect tiling and grouting wasn’t particularly clean but not filthy. Towels were changed daily if you so wished and beach towels were given at a different area once you give them your used ones. Balcony was good enough space for us both to watch the sunset. Beach outside of our room was lovely although VERY VERY ROCKY until you get deeper in then it’s Sandy. The only other issue we had was that the hotel had maintenance work on the beach they had tractors digging and going up and down the beach, one night even up until 11pm (I did call reception to complain, the apologised but work did not stop immediately) The walk to breakfast, lunch & dinner was beautiful, the have a board walk for a more scenic route or you can walk behind the building choice is yours. Alternatively you can call for a pick up caddy they’ll come for you usually within 5 minutes and drop you to the front of the resort (our room was about 6-10 minutes walk) the caddy carts were amazing they even took you over to the Divi if you wanted too. Food was great: Breakfast: 8/10 - loads of variety: eggs any way you want them, sausages, bacon (I found it very over cooked) pancakes, french toast, waffles, fruit, yogurt, bread, jams, butter, smoothies, juices, pastries. Lunch/dinner: 8/10 chicken wings, chips, burgers, sushi, wraps, prawns Snack bars: 9/10 pizzas, chips/crisp, pasta, hotdogs Bars: 8/10 Bunker bar was our favourite it wasn’t too big but the staff and drinks were delightful. Not top shelf liquors but drinks had just enough strength to have you feeling good. There was 1 other bar opened on the tamarijn side which was near the lobby, this is were we got our pizza’s. The other bar we enjoyed was the sandpiper located on the Divi side of the beach (this beach is not rocky like the ones outside of our room) we spent most of our days here) the sandpiper was great lots of food selection and you could order drinks that weren’t on the menu. Hotdogs were lovely here. The main bar at the divi was quite busy we only visited here at dinner times. But the drink consistency around all bars seemed to be the same. Gym: great facilities, modern equipment & brilliant view. 1 pool: 8/10 nicely kept we didn’t use it the beach was far more superior. Divi: 9/10 had all the entertainment in the day and evenings we went over there mostly but sometimes stayed put but not much going on at the Tamarijin side. The Divi is the only place that had a shop opened to buy essentials. Restaurants: Palm Grill: 10/10 We visited the palm grill on our second night it was beautiful and we got to cook our own food on the table, the staff were friendly and attentive to all our needs they always had a smile on their faces. Starters we had a chicken consume/broth which was tasty We ordered prawns and pork which we cooked accompanied by Fries & Rice which they prepared. Dessert we had a chocolate mousse. All good and tasty food. Ginger: 11/10 Asian cuisine. I can’t rate this place more highly the food was delicious the ambiance was romantic and it felt buzzing with people. For starters we had shrimp tempura and Spring rolls I absolutely loved them. For mains we had a seafood soup 😍😍😍😍 it was so good I recreated it when I got home. We were so full we didn’t have dessert 😭. Great attentive staff. Mexican restaurant at Divi: 7/10 we had a very late booking 9pm so we had a late lunch we didn’t eat much, I had a Mexican pork soup which was great and nicely flavoured, we then shared chicken fajitas also nice. The restaurant wasn’t too busy at that time our waiters were lovely and attentive no complaints, just didn’t get to enjoy it that much as we went too late. Staff: not one bad thing to say about any of them, they’re ALL very welcoming loved them! Wish I could remember names 😭 We loved this place I’m sure once I’ve finished this review I’d have so much more to say about it. I have so much videos thinking I could upload them but I can’t do disappointed 😞 Glad we picked Tamarijn over the Riu hotels Thank you for having us 💙 we will be back.
