Fodor's Expert Review Playa Linda Beach Resort

J. E. Irausquin Blvd. 87, Palm Beach, n/a Aruba, Aruba

Looking something like a stepped Mayan pyramid—the design maximizes sea views from the balconies—this older timeshare hotel also has a homey feel, with full kitchens in all the spacious units. Other options include the luxury two-story three-bedroom townhomes or the chic Spa Lanai suite that can accommodate up to six people. Sitting directly on Palm Beach, the resort also has an inviting circuit of pools and hot tubs, and the dedicated activity pool is a popular spot to work out in fun ways. There are also organized kids' activities, theme nights, tennis courts, on-site dining, and a large well-stocked mini market.
