Hotels in Standard Ville, San Nicholas Noord

"Secrets Baby Beach Aruba ranking an 8.2 is a giveaway that some reviewers don’t actually understand Aruba. My family has been coming here for decades and we now own a home on the island; I’ve stayed for weeks at a time at nearly every major property—Palm Beach high-rises (Hyatt, Marriott, Ritz), Eagle Beach low-rises, every major timeshare (Divi, Casa del Mar, ABC), boutique spots like Manchebo, and even checked out JOIA—and this is easily the nicest hotel in Aruba. Baby Beach is hands-down the best beach on the island for swimming and chilling: calm, shallow, crystal-clear water with none of the Palm Beach chaos. The complaints come from people expecting “action” on the quiet side of the island; if your idea of nightlife is a few guys drinking until 1am in a Palm Beach bar, you booked the wrong resort (and maybe the wrong beach). Secrets is for honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, and couples who actually want to relax. Think the EDITION brand—ultra-modern, design-forward, polished, calm and actually is all-inclusive, and the food is included and exceptional. On a very small island with a limited supply chain, Secrets somehow delivers the best food in Aruba: four excellent dinner restaurants, outstanding Italian (best risotto on the island—my partner is Italian), the strongest buffet I’ve seen here, and sushi that’s shockingly good for the Caribbean. Aruba is about weather, beaches, and unwinding - Secrets is a 10 as good as it gets. "

"The room was super clean and comfortable. Room service and house keeping did a great job everytime we need something. I highly recommend RIU Palace for family and RIU Antillas for adults. "

"Good location even though it’s not on the beach. Room setup was perfect for 4 family members, two bedroom two full bathrooms helped when we were getting back from the beach and getting ready to go out for dinner. The beach setup was somewhat small in front of Moomba beach restaurant. The hotel might be better for people looking to explore the island than setup on one beach and not leave for the trip. Close to many restaurants and shops to explore. "

"From the minute we arrived the hospitality was incredible. Our room, the view the food. The whole experience was absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait to go back again."

"Definitely will be returning soon! The staff was so pleasant and made our experience 10x better. The rooms were clean and we slept like a baby every night. Being able to take a boat ride to the private island as much as we want was icing on the cake!"

"The room is excellent 👌 and the staff are fantastic 👍👍. The hotel is big and the pool wow real kool😎."
