Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort

2 years in a row, love the staff... almost more then anything. But it gets better. The location is a 10 min walk from a great food area. Shopping area ext. Really get to anyway drive time within 15 mins at most. Maybe 20 if you're going pretty south. Rooms clean and cleaned well each day. Ac is cold as hell. And the beach is nice, they aren't to busy or cramped and do a good job clearing empty tables if towels and stuff so you can sit. Will continue to stay here until we buy a property.

The resort was nice and the staff was amazing. They really go above and beyond with the service! They had a water aerobics class and amazing access to the beach. The only reason I didn’t give this place a five star is because some of the room construction seemed faulty. More specifically, the ceiling fan short circuited, the shower water never got super hot, and I found mold on my day bed ( which they did clean and resolve that same day).

The location is not ideal compared to others closer to shopping and restaurants. The beach area is not bad and the water is calm. The food is overpriced and meh at best. The interior space is decent and the kitchen came in handy multiple times. My main concern is disrepair and safety. Our balcony seemed very unsafe. They seem to have remolded 3 of the 4 matching buildings, but not the one we are in. The railing is missing any hardware attaching it to the vertical structure. Where the footers are attached, the tile is cracked and broken. This is very disconcerting. This will hopefully be addressed as I’ll inform the management today. There are many other options for the same money farther north, we’ll choose one of those in the future.
