Stepping into the hotel rooms at the Eagle Aruba Resort & Casino felt like entering a haven of pure relaxation. Every nook radiated a soothing atmosphere, and the generous space provided ample room to kick back and let go. The meticulous focus on even the tiniest details was apparent in the seamlessly coordinated decor and the well-thought-out amenities, creating an ambiance that beautifully blended comfort and luxury. Plus, each room came equipped with a refrigerator and a microwave, adding a touch of convenience to the experience. The inclusion of a refrigerator in the room was a fantastic amenity, particularly for travelers like us who always bring along baby foods to various destinations or prefer purchasing them upon arrival. This convenience added an extra layer of comfort to our stay, ensuring that our essentials remained fresh and accessible throughout our time at the hotel.  

The pool was easily visible from our hotel room’s bedroom, and my son had a blast playing by the window where his crib was placed, offering a delightful view of the pool. Notably, our room had the added benefit of a personal dining area just outside the back door. What made it even more remarkable was that the Waterfall Pool was conveniently located nearby. This positioning transformed our morning breakfasts into a delightful experience, allowing us to enjoy the soothing ambiance of the poolside while starting our day with a meal. The combination of comfort, convenience, and ambiance made our stay truly exceptional.

The pool area of the resort is an oasis of aquatic delights. Crystal-clear waters beckon you to take a refreshing plunge, while the surrounding sunbeds invite you to bask in the sun’s warm embrace. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful respite or a vibrant social scene, the pool area caters to all, providing a balance of relaxation and recreation. The resort boasts a grand total of four pools for guests to enjoy.  

1. The Waterfall Pool: When my husband, our 4-year-old, and I wanted a peaceful spot under the sunny Caribbean sky, the waterfall pool was just what we needed. The sound of the water falling and the calm feeling around us made it easy to relax. We also loved the jacuzzi with its gentle bubbles – it was perfect for unwinding after a busy day on the beach and around the hotel.  
2. The Waterslide Pool: During our unforgettable vacation, the water playground became a highlight we couldn’t miss. Being true adventurers, my family and I were drawn to the excitement of the waterslide pool. The twists and turns created a whirlwind of fun as we zoomed through the curves. It was an exhilarating experience that guaranteed hours of laughter and water-filled excitement for everyone, from the little ones to the grown-ups.  
3. The Kiddie Splash Pool: The kiddie splash pool was an ideal spot for our little ones to splash around, play, and make new friends. Watching my child have the time of their life in the water brought us immense joy. This pool ensured a carefree and joyful holiday experience that we’ll always cherish.  
4. The Exclusive Adult Pool: Relaxing in this lovely swimming pool was a nice way to enjoy a drink. With comfortable sunbeds and bar tables right there, it felt great. Although, because we were with our kid, we didn’t get to spend a lot of time here. But, from what we experienced, it’s clear that the adult pool offers lots of entertainment. Being right by the restaurant and stage, there’s always something happening, so you won’t find a dull moment. Just remember, it’s only for guests aged 18 and over.  

In our journey through these pools, we uncovered an array of experiences that catered to every facet of our family’s desires. Each pool became a chapter in our Aruban adventure, with the Waterfall Pool providing a serene backdrop for contemplation, the Waterslide Pool fostering connections through shared laughter, the Kiddie Splash Pool gifting our child moments of pure joy, and the Exclusive Adult Pool offering us a haven of intimacy and reprieve. These pools weren’t just bodies of water; they were spaces that wove together the tapestry of our unforgettable stay at the Eagle Aruba Resort & Casino.

A mere stone’s throw from the resort lies the awe-inspiring Eagle Beach. Widely regarded as one of Aruba’s most beautiful stretches of coastline, it’s pristine white sands and azure waters create an idyllic backdrop for sun-soaked adventures. Long walks along the shore, dips in the crystalline waters, and witnessing breathtaking sunsets become daily rituals that etch unforgettable memories. 

Nestled within the captivating surroundings of Aruba, the Eagle Aruba Resort & Casino offers a serene haven that’s just a brief stroll away from the beach. Around a 5 to 10-minute walk from the resort lies the pristine shoreline, separated by a picturesque road. Situated as the second hotel after this road, Eagle Aruba grants its guests an intimate connection with the sea. With a dedicated area of palapas awaiting on the beach, an early morning venture can secure you a prime spot to bask in the sun’s embrace. Moreover, the beach comes alive with convenient food and drink options, perfect for a quick refuel during your relaxation sessions. Should hunger strike a simple walk across the road grants access to the delectable offerings of the neighboring La Cabana Beach Resort & Casino, ensuring that both culinary and coastal delights are just moments away from your tranquil retreat.  

Restaurant and Food 

Uncle Tony’s Pizza

Culinary exploration is an integral part of the resort experience. The resort’s diverse dining options promise a journey through tantalizing flavors from around the world. Each restaurant is an invitation to savor delectable dishes in an ambiance that enhances every bite. From hearty local cuisine to international culinary delights, every meal becomes a memorable event. 

Uncle Tony’s Pizza was our favorite and is a great place to eat with a cozy feel. They use fresh ingredients to make delicious dishes. They have lots of choices, like pizza, pasta, burgers, and steak. You can also enjoy salads and snacks. The chefs are really good and make everything with care. You can get breakfast, and they can bring food to your room or the beach. They care about your preferences, like if you’re vegan or have allergies. Just tell them before. They make sure you’re happy. Additionally, the resort offers various dining and snacking choices, such as the Double Down Sports Bar & Grill, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Baskin Robbins for ice cream treats.  

Within a convenient 15-minute walk from the hotel, Super Food Plaza stands as a spacious grocery store, offering the choice to purchase ready-made meals and various other grocery items.  

Other Facilities and Fun Activities 

Beyond the sumptuous accommodations and tantalizing dining experiences, the Eagle Aruba Resort & Casino boasts an impressive range of facilities and activities. The fitness center provides an avenue for maintaining wellness while indulging in leisure. The hotel offers a BBQ area where guests can enjoy cooking and dining outdoors. The hotel provides complimentary and reliable high-speed Wi-Fi for guests to stay connected seamlessly. The hotel also provides an on-site babysitting service, allowing you to have quality time while your children are taken care of by experienced caregivers. The hotel hosts captivating Caribbean Nights every Wednesday, treating guests to a lively dinner show with dazzling carnival costumes, dynamic dance performances, and the exhilarating tunes of an Aruban brass band.  

Airport Transportation 

The journey to paradise commences the moment you arrive at the airport. While the hotel offers a hassle-free transportation service to and from the airport, we personally chose not to utilize this option. However, it’s a convenient service provided for those who want to ensure a seamless journey from the moment they arrive to when they depart. I chose to rent a car from Wheels2go for my entire stay, using it not only for my airport transportation but also for getting around during my visit.  

Local Transport 

I’m not very familiar with the local public transport system, as I chose to rent a car and didn’t explore the option of using public transportation.  

Having a US driving license made renting a car in Aruba a breeze, unlike some other international destinations. The convenience of using my US license without any complications was a big plus. There were two reliable options for renting a car: Wheels2go and More4less. Both of these car rental companies are based in Aruba, and from what I’ve read in reviews, they offer superior services compared to many major international rental companies, all at a more affordable rate. Based on an online review, I learned that Wheels2go is a better option for car rentals, while More4Less is a good choice for renting jeeps. Given that we were traveling with our 4-year-old, we intentionally excluded off-road jerky jeep excursions from our plans to ensure our toddler’s comfort and prevent any potential back pain and other discomfort. I decided on Wheels2go because it offered car seat options, which was essential for my trip. We didn’t pick up the car at the airport; instead, a Wheels2go representative met us there and transported us in a van to their facility to collect the car. The service was exceptional, especially considering our delayed airport exit by 2-3 hours due to unforeseen issues. The car return process was equally convenient: we dropped off the car at their facility, and they provided a van to take us back to the airport. Armed with the rented car, I embarked on journeys to various tourist attractions that would have otherwise been less accessible. 

Navigating Aruba’s roads was a pleasure, with the prevalence of roundabouts offering a smooth and uncomplicated driving experience, unlike the usual red-light intersections. My preference for maps.me proved wise as it enabled offline navigation through locally downloaded maps. This feature proved invaluable, particularly given the limitations of traditional GPS devices on the island. 

A standout aspect was the rental car insurance coverage from my Bank of America travel Visa credit card. This coverage extended to theft, physical damage, towing, and more. This safety net provided peace of mind throughout my travels, allowing me to forgo additional insurance costs. The added bonus of utilizing my Visa card’s benefits helped me save money while confidently exploring the island with my rented vehicle. 

Overall Experience 

The Eagle Aruba Resort & Casino isn’t just a destination; it’s an experience that envelops you in luxury, warmth, and the allure of the Caribbean. The sumptuous accommodations, exceptional hospitality, and diverse offerings culminate in a stay that is marked by unbridled joy and fond memories. From the sophisticated comfort of your room to the tranquility of the beach and the delight of discovering local flavors, the resort provides a comprehensive tapestry of experiences. 

In summation, the Eagle Aruba Resort & Casino serves as a testament to the transformative power of travel. Its commitment to providing guests with a haven that balances relaxation and adventure creates a unique narrative for each visitor. As you immerse yourself in the vibrant tapestry of Aruba, remember that the Eagle Aruba Resort & Casino is not just a place to stay; it’s an extraordinary journey that promises to linger in your heart for years to come.
