We had a wonderful stay at Marriott's Aruba Surf Club, perfect for family vacations! The lazy river and pools were a hit with the kids, and the spacious villas provided plenty of room for our family. While we loved the activities offered, the service could definitely use some improvement, especially during busy peak times. Overall, it's a solid choice for a family-friendly getaway with great amenities, though be prepared for crowded areas during peak season.

Our recent stay at the resort had its ups and downs. The location is great, but I found the overall experience disappointing, particularly with the service and dining. The rooms were spacious enough for our family, but the check-in process and housekeeping left much to be desired. If you're willing to wake up early for pool chairs, you might find some enjoyment here, but there are certainly better options elsewhere.

The Marriott Surf Club is a gorgeous place for a family vacation with plenty of activities and a stunning pool area. However, the chair reservation system is frustrating, making it a hassle to secure poolside seating. Additionally, my room's mattress was very uncomfortable, which detracted from an otherwise enjoyable stay. Overall, it has amazing amenities but certain aspects could use some improvement.

7.4/10

Our stay was quite the mixed bag. While we loved the beach and enjoyed the lazy river, the new online reservation system for palapas was a real letdown, making it hard to relax. The furniture needs updating, and we found the cleaning schedule inconvenient as well. Despite these issues, the overall environment was fun and friendly, and we truly appreciated the well-equipped kitchen in our villa.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were spacious and well-appointed with comfortable amenities. The kitchens were great for preparing meals, but the furniture could certainly use some updating.

Service

Service was decent, but I felt some staff members were overwhelmed and lacked authority to address certain issues. They were well-intentioned and did their best, but it sometimes felt inadequate.

Location

The location is fantastic, especially for accessing beautiful beaches and a variety of activities. However, it can get pretty crowded in the afternoons, which may detract from the experience.

Dining

We didn't experience a lot of dining on-site, as we prepared meals in our well-equipped kitchen, but I appreciated having the option to buy groceries nearby.

Facilities

The lazy river was a fun feature and perfect for relaxing, though the sunbed reservation system really complicates pool access.
