Oude windmolen

My first solo trip to Aruba and I felt safe and comfortable on the resort. Although, I sent a request for an upgraded room, my room was far from ocean front and then to learn you needed to be part of the Elite club to have a room facing the ocean was disappointing. After, waiting hours for my room and it still wasn't ready, I was given another room that was overlooking the roof, they switched me again to a partial view of the ocean. The hotel is dated and can use some renovations but staff kept the beverages stocked and clean sheets/towels. Nonetheless, staff was amazing, special shout out to Elena, one of the hostess in the dinning rooms. She gave special attention to my birthday and assured that I had a great dinner! She should be promoted with a raise! The food choices were great, drinks was flowing at the bar. The pool entertainment was fun. The evening entertainment needs a overhaul not entertaining at all. Overall, I enjoyed my stay!

The view is amazing and the food is at very high standard. We had the hibachi dinner with chef Julio which was amazing. Not only can he cook delicious but he delivers a true entertainment. This was our second time back and we’ll definitely come back!
