Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino lays out the full gamut of options for Caribbean fun and relaxation. On 10 prime acres at
the north end of Aruba’s legendary Palm Beach, guests can enjoy ocean sports in sparkling blue-green waters, lounge by the lagoon-style pool, bask in Balinese luxury at the Mandara Spa, and try their luck at the 18,000-square-foot, 24-hour Stellaris Casino. Nine bars and restaurants range from an outpost of American favorite Ruth’s Chris Steak House to Atardi, which pops up on the beach every day to serve its signature seafood dishes and more.
More than 10,000 square feet of meeting space proves equally impressive, with its mix of business savvy, versatility, and island flair. While the largest of seven conference rooms hosts up to 880 delegates indoors, three outdoor venues set the stage for up to 500 guests under the sun and stars. The catering team creates custom cuisine for any occasion, from morning breaks to themed dinners, and an in-house audiovisual department and certified meeting professionals guarantee the success of every gathering.
As evenings wind down, attendees inevitably disperse to their choice of 411 guest rooms and suites, all modern in style and featuring private balconies with garden or ocean views, LED TVs, and sumptuous bedding. Overall, the property’s diversity of worldly and simple pleasures — plus first-class facilities, dining, and service — earns it a perennial spot on lists of the world’s most recommended destinations.

Nice property but we experienced some delays with meeting related services,
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Corporate Planner
Group had an excellent time on Aruba, some felt this property was too far out from town area. Staff is exceptional - all over, rave reviews from attendees. Dining is limited and attendees often left the property for restaurants, not a problem, but would like to have more choices on property. Groups do not get lost among the Marriott vacation club members, which had been a concern. Beach can get very crowed quickly, causing some "noise".
Overall Rating: 4.3/5

Aruba Marriott Resort Announces New Hotel Upgrades
Posted March 30, 2017
The One Happy Island’s Premier Resort Adds Aruba’s Largest Starbucks, a Gelato Store and Introduces Enhancements to the Hotel’s Great Room, and Fitness Center
Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino is pleased to introduce the recent addition of the island’s largest Starbucks, a Gelato & Co. outlet, plus enhancements to its Great Room and Lobby Bar as well as a complete renovation of the two-story fitness center.
Replacing Aruba Marriott’s Lobby Café is a brand new Starbucks, which is now the largest Starbucks location in Aruba. The Starbucks has a modern, open design with rustic wooden panels, brass accents, as well as the first “Wall of Chill” in the Caribbean, a grab-and-go refrigerated section built into the wall. In addition, the Starbucks features an oversized, unique siren mermaid painting by Colombian artist, Natalia Perez Penagos, which depicts a mermaid swimming towards the counter to catch an aroma of coffee. Holding true to its dedication to environmental initiatives throughout the property, Aruba Marriott uses energy efficient machines in its Starbucks store.
Steps away from the new Starbucks, gelato lovers can now indulge in over 15 different homemade gelato flavors prepared daily with the finest ingredients, without using any preservatives or food colorings ensuring its pure taste and flavor. Gelato & Co. also boasts on having a variety of tasty toppings to choose from, such as roasted hazelnuts, cookies
and Nutella sauce. For those looking for a healthier option, the fruit sorbets are a sure bet, made using fresh fruits. Those with a larger sweet tooth must try the Gelato popsicle, which is dipped in white or milk chocolate and covered with toppings for an extra delicious dessert.
Additionally, guests can enjoy cocktails or light bites at the Lobby Bar, which has been reinvented with a new bar and seating as well as an extension to Ketsu, the resort’s
sushi bar. The lobby’s Great Room was refreshed with a beach-chic look and feel thanks to new light fixtures and coastal-inspired furniture and décor.
“We’re continually seeking new ways to keep hotel spaces current and comfortable in order to enhance the guest experience. The lobby and Starbucks are the first spaces
guests see when they walk into the hotel and it’s important for us to welcome them into an inviting atmosphere right away,” said Tom Calame, General Manager.
Lastly, the two-level fitness center received a total overhaul, unveiling an enlarged second floor, a modern design with new vibrant design details and carpeting,
as well as upgrades to the restrooms’ sinks, tiling, and lighting. Expanding nearly 1,000 square feet, the second floor now provides stunning views overlooking the
adults-only pool, beach, and ocean.
