Dutch Antilles, Caribbean hotel rooms at the Independent

"The disappointment of the beach being across the street AND so rocky and murky is a deterrent for our next visit. There were some great things but that is a big deal for us. We walked down the street and the water was clear and almost no rocks."

"The hotel and staff were excellent. My favorite part was Flamingo Beach and the boat rides in the morning. "

"Nice"

"The food was always fresh and big spread. Issue is that the key to the rooms do not work regularly for all hotel guests. Also lack of communication of daily activities. Otherwise it is a fabulous resort "

"The room was clean, the location quiet, the pool was clean and not overly busy, and staff regularly cleaned the room and changed the towels. Although the location is hilly, the resort operates an internal shuttle bus on request. "

"Such a Beautiful resort! Very friendly, helpful & accommodating staff. Food was delicious & there was an abundant selection of choices. Room was very clean, spacious & well designed with an amazing view! We loved the pool design & resort location on the gorgeous beach! We enjoyed our stay to the fullest & can’t wait to come back again soon! "

"We had a wonderful stay in Aruba! We enjoyed the breakfast buffet every morning. The staff there were so friendly especially Rosa who greeted us every time she saw us. The room was clean and comfortable. Our only complaint was the beach was a little dirty. We often saw garbage laying in the sand. No fault of the hotel just lazy guests. Please keep the outdoors beautiful!!! "

"We had the best room upgrade! Our view from the balcony was so beautiful! The resort was clean and staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here! "

"Too expensive….for the price I was expecting more, great location though!!!"
