If you enjoy loud music and motorcycles revving their engines in competition with each other (rev-off) from Thursday - Sunday night (9pm-midnight) from the parking lot across the street, this hotel is perfect for you; terrible for me, and all those I spoke to, for those 4 nights out of 7.
Sadly, I was told this is the norm and there is nothing that can be done about it. I wish I knew.
I asked to change rooms away from the street but my request was refused? although the hotel did not seem to be full at all. Bad customer service.
Unfortunately, although the hotel is across the street from a fantastic beach, good food, and close to port/city centre (15 min. walk) and airport, the evening noise across the street in the parking lot ruined what was otherwise a fantastic and beautiful island trip. Highly recommend Aruba!!
Suggestion: call the hotel and ask about the noise from Thursday to Sunday evenings to see if this has changed before you commit!
If it wasn’t for the noise, I would not be writing this review.
