Great location, beach is your back yard and strip is right out front. Only issue was cleanliness of rooms. Bathrooms were dirty and mold in shower, the room wasnt cleaned until we called front desk and complained, and if you stay in sea palace you will have no wifi.

Embassy Suites By Hilton Aruba Beach Resort
The layout of the hotel is such, that we had a long walk to get to the elevators. The room had 2 TVs but only one remote. The AC unit was noisy. The breakfast was excellent. The hot tub was really nice, and the staff was very friendly. Overall, the room was very nice, I would book there again.
