The hyatt is by far the most beautiful resort on Palm Beach. I can't say enough about how lush and gorgeous the grounds are, and how wonderful the atmosphere is. The hotel pays attention to every little detail and works hard to create a great experience for those staying there. From the moment you step foot in the open air lobby and are welcomed with a chilled glass of champagne, you know you chose the right place. They sent up wine and a cheese platter to our room and surprised my boyfriend with two pieces of chocolate cake for his birthday.
The rooms were clean, spacious, perfectly decorated, and comfortable. My only complaint is the size of the balcony, which I know many people have mentioned before me. It would be so nice to be able to sit out on the balcony, eat/read/relax and have a view of the beautiful blue water and resort grounds, but it was still nice to be able to stand out there and enjoy the breeze. The restaurants at the hotel were delicious. Ruinas del mar has a stunning setting and excellent service. Palms has great burgers, calamari, and nachos. Definitely take advantage of the swim up bar to enjoy great drinks and some of the best onion rings I have ever tasted!! We also did the Pampered in Paradise our last night at the hotel which was expensive but worth every last penny. Went to the spa for a couples massage/scrub and we were pleased with the service. Didn't spend too much time at the casino but it seemed nice enough for those who enjoy gambling and cards.
I have to say that the resort was not as crowded as I expected it to be and heard that it would be for mid March. Since it was high season, I was expecting never to find a seat at the pool or on the beach. I don't know if it is the economy or the fact that the hotel does a good job at accommodating everybody (most likely it was a little bit of both) but we didn't have any trouble with crowds. Of course, I did notice that all of the palapas were reserved very early in the morning by people who would put their stuff down and then leave for hours, but we were so busy with activities that we didn't care in the least. By the time we got back in the early afternoon, we would just have two chairs underneath the large palapa, which was never too crowded, and enjoy the sun or the shade as we pleased.
I recommend to everyone that you seriously consider taking the drive down to Savaneta to eat at the Flying Fishbone for dinner one night. I can't even say enough good things about the place so I won't even try. Just go for yourself and experience what a truly special place this is. Other than that, the Hyatt is an excellent choice for your stay in Aruba. Concierge is always helpful, there are endless activities for those who want some adventure, and it is the perfect setting if you prefer to just relax and unwind.
