Review of Tamarijn Aruba Beach Resort, Oranjestad by
ali831
Advantages: right on the beach
Disadvantages: flight time
We have just spent 2 weeks at the Tam from june 6th to 20th and had a fantastic time. I went with my husband and 2 kids aged 14 and 10 and we didnt want to come home. So here's my review-
LOCATION
Right on the beach, the apartments are just 2 stories high and stretch along the beach on the waters edge, just perfect. The transfer time from the airport is approx 15 minutes and takes the through the main toen of Oranjistead.
CHECK IN
we arrived ... ...the front of the queue. We were given ice cold bottled water and cool face wipes. we only waited about 5 minutes and we were on the way to our room. The safe hire is $2 per day.

ROOM
clean and adequate. 2 large beds, wardrobe, bedside cabinet, huge chest of drawers and a small table ...
