Fodor's Expert Review Holiday Inn Resort Aruba

The resort's massive lemon-yellow buildings that sprawl across a prime spot on Palm Beach offer a revelation compared to what most might think a Holiday Inn stay might entail---inviting rooms, a fun vibe, and distinct sections that will appeal to those looking for quiet active fun or a family-friendly environment. The rooms, though not luxe, feel fresh and offer impressive views of the sea and sunsets, including some of the island's best from higher floors. But it’s the design and vibe of the outdoor areas that impress the most since they are smartly cordoned into three distinct zones to suit different types of travelers: “Peace & Harmony,” “Action & Play,” and “Chill & Mingle.” On-site dining is also a cut above what one might expect and their themed culinary events on the beach are impressive. A new piano bar adds to the entertainment. The all-inclusive plan is now available.
