JOIA Aruba by Iberostar

My wife and I had an amazing stay at JOIA. The workout classes were a highlight of our stay, especially water aerobics with Nancy—she’s energetic, passionate about fitness, and made our first time doing water aerobics together tough but fun. We left feeling refreshed, fit, and excited to try more classes!

I recently had a wonderful stay at this hotel, and I can't recommend it enough. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a team of professionals who truly made me feel welcomed. As a solo traveler, it's often easy to feel out of place, but the friendly atmosphere and attentive staff quickly put me at ease. One of the highlights of my stay was dining at Marea, one of the hotel's fantastic restaurants. The food was absolutely delicious, and the breathtaking beach view added a magical touch to each meal. It was the perfect setting to enjoy the culinary delights they offered. I stayed in a spacious suite with an ocean view that was nothing short of spectacular. The room was impressively clean and well-appointed, with all the amenities I could possibly need to make my stay comfortable. However, I did wish that the mini-fridge was stocked with refreshments. It would have been nice to have some sodas or snacks available for purchase, especially during those late-night cravings when ordering room service isn't the most convenient option. Overall, my experience at this hotel was exceptional. The combination of outstanding service, exquisite dining, and luxurious accommodations made it the best stay I’ve ever had. I would absolutely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

We had the best time here for our honeymoon! There are busy parts of Aruba just a few miles away, but we’re so glad we didn’t stay there. This place was perfect for a romantic trip. We rented a car and ate at some restaurants outside the resort, but the food here was the best we had. We were choosing between this place and Secrets Baby Beach, and we’re really happy we picked Iberostar. We drove over to check out Secrets, and this hotel was way better. Everything here is great - the pools are beautiful, the spa is awesome, and the beach is better than Secrets and the Marriott (we visited both). They clean your room several times a day, and all the workers are super friendly. The breakfast package is worth it, the food was delicious. The rooms were also very spacious! We loved every minute of our stay! Perfect for a romantic get away!
